Good Job Perle的魔女手札, a Taiwanese artist who did a popular Delicious in Dungeon Laios X Marcille doujin, and somehow managed to get contributions to the latest episode.
Another interesting thing about the Yandere is it may be the only Anime Archetype where one character is considered the most Iconic example of them all and yet she's not actually one of the earliest examples.
There are multiple pre Future Diary Yandere, Durarara season 1 alone has multiple Yandere, there are characters who are argued to be a "Deconstruction" of the Yandere before Future Diary came along like with School Days and Higurashi. Shuffle was already creating a Yandere where the source material didn't have one. Detective Conan has had occasional Yandere culprits since the very first episode.
Yuna Gasai didn't become virtually synonymous with the Yandere because she helped create it, her writers simply perfected an already very popular concept.
And yet people hating a show they don't like with a Yandere will call her a "Discount Yuno Gasai" because they simply assume the whole trend must have started with the most well known.

@neatchee I checked Crunchyroll but only the series is there. Couldn't find it on Netflix or Prime Video. I can't seem to find any anime on the other streaming services.
@tanoshimi oh it's definitely not on the major services, that much much I'm sure of. It was on its own dedicated site originally, and you had to pay to watch it. But I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist anymore and it's only available on disc in Japan.
Give me a few minutes and I'll DM you a link you can use to download it to your PC
It's very strange how this anime season has one gay and 4 music lesbian series, and yet Japan still hasn't legalized same-sex marriages.
Literally a Japanese lesbian couple was granted refugee status in Canada in 2023 using a 200 page document about the discrimination they faced. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15271758
@anianimalsmoe Just guessing here, but could it be related to the whole “don’t talk about things” culture? Which in many ways are a double edged sword.
Japan is definitely better than the U.S. right now, but I get the feeling that things move at a glacial pace. But I think it’s a great thing that it’s getting more common in media, as hopefully newer generations grow up with more empathy and tolerance.
It’s happened in the past with Mr Roger’s Neighborhood for instance.
Not that I’m seeking any of it out myself. Just as I’m not looking for cishet. I’m just not bothered by it and care more if it’s a good setting, world building, characters, and script.
I wonder if any of my favorite YouTubers have made any videos on the subject. It can be difficult to get much of an idea of it from the outside. I really wish Japan would take a leap forward and advance human rights. I think it would help overall.
Anime, Manga, and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (May 17, 2024)
Last week was... a week. Last Sunday and Monday were pretty normal. My husband and I returned to the other side of the state and helped my Dad get more cleaned out of his house. But everything changed late last Tuesday morning, when my husband got a call from my brother-in-law, saying my father-in-law had an incident earlier that morning and was in the emergency room.
I'm very sure that the actual Japanese language names aren't the one used here, but the translation team were obviously having far too much fun with the horse names in this sequence. #anime #ASaladBowlOfEccentrics
Fini de revoir Ao buta, et c'était à peu près comme dans mes souvenirs. Très sympa à suivre dans ses histoires et thèmes, mais manquant un peu d'approfondissement et d'un quelque chose pour marquer et vraiment se démarquer de ses modèles. A voir les nouveaux films. #anime
@Gaewin L'approfondissement tu l'as dans les mangas
Surtout pour "dreaming girl" qui est en train de finir d'être scantrad sur mangadex si ça t'intéresse
@Xalofar
J'aurais préféré l'avoir directement dans l'anime (ou que ce soit un peu mieux raconté et réalisé).
Mais à choisir, je me tournerais sûrement plus vers les LN.
