Gravitation: Lyrics of Love, which is like watching a bad rom-com crash headfirst into a boy band concert, and it's just as gloriously messy as it sounds.

Shuichi Shindo, our endlessly optimistic and incredibly small front man bumbles through life with the grace of a caffeinated squirrel, constantly screaming his feelings and tripping over his own ambition. His love interest, Eiri Yuki, is a walking emotional iceberg, alternating between brooding silence and scathing sarcasm.

They do not mix, they shouldn't mix, and yet... they try to mix.

Meet Hibari Oozora, a fun & flirty trans girl that wears her heart on her sleeve. But don’t let that fool you, she’ll kick your ass if you try to mess with her or her crush.

(tw: his series contains a lot of heavily anti-trans characters that do not recognize Hibari as a girl.)

Stop! Hibari-kun! Is a problematic, but also iconic anime from the early 80s. In this episode, we dive into the story of Hibari Oozora, a charismatic and fearless trans girl who doesn't take any nonsense from anyone. Hibari's boldness and charm challenge societal norms with humor, heart, and some much needed violence, making her a standout character in anime history. We'll discuss the series' unique blend of comedy and drama, its cultural impact, and why it remains a beloved gem in the trans anime community.

An anime about a bounty hunter fighting Space pirates sounds a little overdone, right? Well, what if we told you the pirates were also spell casting wizards and commanded Frankenstein like androids?! ARE YOU INTERESTED NOW? Because we sure were.

It also helps that Outlaw Star features great animation and design and even though we watched the dub, we weren't subjected to the Stuart School of Voice Acting for once!
