[AniFemTalk] 14-21 November 2016

It's Monday, time to ask again what's been on your mind over this past week! What feminist observations do you want to share on an anime or manga you're enjoying right now? Did something happen in a legal simulcast that you think AniFem readers should be aware of?

I've been thinking a lot about the female characters in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! Just finished Season 2 of Stardust Crusaders, and I'm struck again by how very capable yet ultimately powerless all the lady characters are (not to mention oversexed, but what's new). Thoughts? Especially Lisa Lisa!

Argh, so sorry I missed this!! I'm afraid I (Amelia) haven't seen JJBA, but it's a big favourite with some of the team so definitely something we can get a post on at some point! We have had a pitch from a contributor about the representations of masculinity in it, what do you think about that?

Definitely another huge factor with the show! Basically every dude exudes raw masculinity, unless of course they're of weak character. Not to mention the absolutely impossible anatomy of just about everyone... I'll look forward to that article! JBA has such excellent storytelling, but such problematic characters ^^; Thank you for the reply!!
