Shout out to the randos on YouTube 10-13 years ago who uploaded music videos and lyric videos of jrock artists when I was getting into them as a child because Japan is allergic to posting their music anywhere but country restricted platforms lol.

I just realized that Hexxus is more black after he was a skeleton with red and orange lava or oil body. But look up, I have a TMC alternate form. What's going on with me? Too late, I'm possessed by Hexxus, but Gabriel or maybe Cesar. Night night!

Also stumbled across this New 2023-24 Japanese Barbie Catalogue. Not much new stuff (I think) aside from the new Dream House but it's neat to see. One of the last pages even has an ad for The Barbie Movie.

The power of libraries and card catalogs: Revolutionary Girl Utena shines through [Part 1]

Recently, I was watching a Japanese anime, Revolutionary Girl Utena, which aired in 1997, I stumbled upon scenes showcasing libraries, reference, and much more, time and time again. This is a series that can be watched on YouTube, with subtitles, or dubbed, whichever you prefer while having over 973 fan fiction works on Archive of Our Own. There was much more than other series, or even Hollywood films like The Public, The Truman Show, Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Wear-Rabbit, the latter that had a brief library scene. It's actually extraordinary as I've never seen an animated series feature libraries as many times like this one!

In the show's fourth episode ("The Sunlit Garden - Prelude"), part of the Student Council Saga, there is a short scene in a library that is clearly very scholarly. This isn't a surprise as all of the characters are students of Ohtori Academy, set somewhere in Japan. In this scene, Juri Arisugawa, the fencing team captain at the academy meets Miki Kaoru (the person with the blue hair), secretary of the Student Council.

Miki is correcting a test for Anthy, the Rose Bride, and is studying in the library, clearly dedicated to his studies. The whole scene is not even a minute long, but it portrays the library as a serious place when you do serious work, with the lighting on the table reminding me a bit of the Library of Congress. It's very different from the library depicted in Steven Universe, Futurama, or the ones in that 2008 Harold & Kumar movie and The Truman Show. It also reminds me of a brief scene in a church library in the Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) film, which ends up being a key part of the story.

This brings me to "The Boys of the Black Rose," the 14th episode of the show, and part of the Black Rose Saga. In this scene, Mikage, the head of the Mikage Seminar at the academy, who wants to gain power for himself, is using what looks like a microfilm machine to examine a newspaper:

He is greeted by two men in business tricks saying his "paper" did the trick as it allowed for their research office to be chosen for a consulting office. He almost laughs them off, continuing to look at the paper.

After these men try to give him a gift, he brushes it off, and they soon walk away, calling him a genius. He sure looks like one with all his books on the shelves and materials on the desk! It's almost the stereotypical portrayal of academia, as aloof and dedicated to their work. This is reinforced by the fact that after this he continues to look at the scanner like little has happened:

Later on in the episode, I thought it was a little comedic when Miki tells Utena (the girl with pink hair), the series protagonist, with Anthy standing beside her, about the research building right after he has come back from the reference area, which is a lie, as he was actually talking to Mikage about how he wasn't "good enough" to be part of his seminar. He almost acted with a shock that Utena didn't know about this, almost like a person telling something they just learned for the first time:

I'd also like to point out there was one scene in this episode that seemed to be an homage to a scene in that episode of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power that focuses on the magical library, where Utena and Anthy were sitting on a couch, with Akio on the other couch, but maybe this was just a coincidence. Regardless, none of these libraries are like the hilarious sewer library from Futurama!

Jumping to episode 18 of the show, "Mitsuru's Growing Pains," in the Black Rose Saga, the academic library is featured again. In the library, Mitsuru, who is looking through books, asks Utena and Anthy what it means to be grown up. Anthy says that she and Utena have done "some adult things" which is undefined, although there may be some romantic connotations there.

After this, he ends up going to the Black Rose Seminar and tries to fight Utena, almost in a trance. Like with all her duels, apart from when she battled Touga, she wins, and the Black Rose is destroyed. The episode goes on, the mentions of libraries and archive-like environments are not over.

This theme is followed in another episode, part of the Black Rose saga, episode 21 (also known as "Troublesome Insects"). During the episode, one of Nanami's followers, Keiko misses a party. Instead, she goes to a presumed library, or perhaps an archives, to get student council records that Nanami didn't want to do.

Fan Favorite Yuri Series 'Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl' Licensed in English; Omnibus Release September 2024

On February 14, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that it has licensed the popular Yuri romance manga Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl (Ikemen Girl to Hakoiri Musume). The manga is written by Mocchi Au Lait and illustrated by majoccoid.

The publisher describes the series:

When Okuma Satomi’s friend seeks her help wrangling guys for a crossdressing cafe, Satomi winds up with a boyfriend! Sort of. After asking her handsome and aloof classmate, Kanda Mizuki, to help out in the cafe, Mizuki agrees, but on one condition: the two of them must go on a date. Satomi eagerly agrees, delighted to have such a good-looking guy interested in her, but Mizuki realizes that Satomi has completely misunderstood something crucial: Mizuki is a girl! Will this case of mistaken identity blossom into something beautiful, or will the truth leave both girls brokenhearted?

Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl was originally serialized in Comic REX from September 2019 until its conclusion in October 2020. It was based on a work posted on Twitter before being picked up for serialization. Ichijinsha published two collected volumes of Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl in Japanese.

Despite its lack of an international release, the manga quickly became popular with English-speaking audiences and is highly ranked on cataloging websites such as MyAnimeList and Anime-Planet.

Creator Mocchi Au Lait is a pair known for their Yuri manga works, many of which have a shared world and lose connections. In addition to Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl, they have contributed to several anthologies, including Yuri Drill, Syrup (licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment), and the official Yuri Is My Job! Anthology. Many of their works are independently released online. Their other serialized works include Yamitsuki and the currently running adult comedy series Warui ga Watashi wa Yuri ja Nai (Sorry, I'm Not Yuri) from Kadokawa.

Illustrator majoccoid, also known by the circle name Haratama, has also contributed to several manga anthologies and is currently the illustrator of Shimesaba's romance manga series Tayutau Kemuri wa Tsukamenai, which is serialized in Comic HOWL.

The complete series of Handsome Girl and Sheltered Girl will be released in English in September 2024 as a single omnibus under Seven Seas' GL label.

Personal check-in

This is more for myself than anything, but i want to catalog things im interested it, to get closer to my core self and have more focus in what I want to do. Also if I ever feel lost, Id like to come back to this list.

TOP FOCUS

★ Fashion: I like to put together outfits and create my own clothes and accessories. I have a lot of fun just taking pictures of outfits and creating personal collages.

★ Cooking: learn more recipes, make my own, save money and make delicious (and easy) home cooked meals! I have improved a lot these last 4 months. I want to keep improving and/or maintain what I have learned.

★ Tetris: I want to get better at tetris, get 6000 rank on Tetris effect: connected

FOCUS / FUTURE IDEAS

★ Exercise: 5 min a day is better than nothing. Tone tummy and increase stamina.

★ Stretching: do splits, also i want to touch my head to my knees

★ Plant care: i want to own more plants and keep them alive.

★ Makeup: I love the artistry of makeup. It is like drawing on your face. I want to learn it so I can incorporate it with my outfits.

★ Learn language: I want to improve chinese and japanese (i get tired reading subtitles on anime so understanding more would be great)

★ Reading: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, physical books, online, etc. Read more, even if it is 1 page. Read before bed or in afternoon under the sun <3

REMINDERS

★ Its ok to do nothing. Take a day or 2 or 3 if you need off.

★ sometimes, something that brought us joy no longer does (change). don't force yourself to do anything that no longer brings you joy bc it used to, acknowledge and move on. God may have something even greater planned for you.

★ self love always. always make sure you are taken care of first, mentally and physically. If you get absorbed into something and notice you arent taking care of yourself, gently pull yourself out, with love.

S/o to @honeytonedhottie and @ros3ybabe (hobby list) for the inspo to write this post.
