I’ve always been keen to see anime get more diverse with its characters. Like, no matter what you say, seeing a plus size character or a dark skinned character be the main protagonist, does matter to a lot of the fans watching. Because seeing someone that looks like you or maybe has the same speech

The thing about shows like Neon Genesis Evangelion is that it isn’t just one thing that makes them so iconic. It’s an entire repertoire, from the out-of-the-box premise to the dystopian setting and even the characters that have made their mark on the anime landscape. Before the rise of the mecha and the ‘Giant Robot’
I’m going, to be honest with you here, folks. Kakegurui was not something I anticipated getting into in the year of our Lord. The anime has been airing for a while now. But it was only this year, during one of many, many Netflix binges, that I finally bit the bullet and decided to give
You know, for all the edgy anime I love to consume, I’m more of an enthusiast of the adorable genre. I’ll always be biased towards the cutest, sweetest love story I can find. And boy, do I have a lot of top-notch cutest comfort anime I keep on standby to watch when I’m in my

Look, we’ll be the first to admit that the term ‘anime femboys’ is heavily misconstrued. Mostly because, well, it often came with a negative or derogatory meaning attached to it. Though, older weebs might know anime femboy characters by a different term aka ‘Traps’. Either way, the internet was not kind to characters like them.
Anime was from a place and time where things were pretty conservative and closed in. Representation came in the form of cheap gags or villainous hues, and nothing more. But as the medium has gone more global, it has definitely become much more inclusive and lenient when it comes to adapting different traits and cultural
Did I internally cringe referring to Loid Forger (ロイド・フォージャー, Roido Fōjā) from Spy X Family as a daddy? Yes. But like, it’s true. There have been plenty of father figures in anime that have turned our attention, but no one has made the internet quite as thirsty as Loid did in his first appearance. What can
We’ve seen our fair share of strong female characters in anime. The Baddies bring weaker men to their knees. The femme fatales, if you will. But none have taken over anime forums quite like certain ginger with a penchant for domination. Makima is the ultimate bad girl of Shonen lovers everywhere right now, and there’s
