There were more manga series that I forgot to mention but some of them are pretty old now (back when I was a teen) so I doubt they are still being published xD

I hope you all enjoy my little ramble of movies and some female characters in anime! Like I mentioned, I thought this was a good way to warm up my voice for a roleplay. What better way to prep than to chat with you all? :P

Let me know if you've seen either of the movies I mentioned. Feel free to also let me know how you feel about any anime characters of if maybe I was being a little too harsh in my critique lol

The Menu was such a fun watch for me because it reminded me of a bar/restaurant I've eaten at called Faro. It has artsy food and also 'performances' while you eat, which are also very artsy and - for lack of a better term - strange. When I went we saw a bunch of people in all black body suits chanting latin and playing the bongos. That movie was oddly relatable, ignoring the horror aspect of course! I'm pretty sure nobody died when I went

From what you said, I think you were pretty fair about the anime women you talked about. I can't say I would be able to write the female Naruto characters any better, but he definitely could've expanded more on the whole cast if he allowed for it. Funny enough, I remember Kishimoto's wife telling him she thought Sakura and Naruto's dynamic felt like theirs, so she seemed to want those two together (I still think Hinata was best for him in the end).I have a bit of a manga shelf myself: I have the Part 1 Naruto manga, Pokemon Adventures up to the HGSS arc, this short series called Waq Waq, a few volumes of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles (a CLAMP series), a couple series by an American comic artist I liked, the Trigun omnibus, and ten volumes of Mushibugyo in Japanese (bought them while in Japan).

There is this really beautiful manga called Girl From the Other Side. The story is great and the setting and vibes of the world, and world building is honestly awsome. I think you should mabye give thoes a try. If not it has a three episode series on crunchyroll which is also excellent.

Hmm... Light was your big anime crush? That's a bit concerning... I personally kinda hated Light, but like, the good kind of hate because he was such a good villain (Though I also hated him for killing probably my favorite anime character L). Interesting that you were able to rewatch Death Note so much. It's my favorite anime (though it shares the spot with Soul Eater), but I watched it over a decade ago and haven't been able to sit through a full rewatch of it again. It's really just not the same after the first watch due to having none of the suspense after you know what happens. I personally didn't have a problem with Misa. I thought she was a reasonably well-done character considering she was mostly just a plot device to give Light a chance by granting access to a couple extra powers (a shinigami that he could easily manipulate and the shinigami eyes) without having to pay the price for them. She's not really that interesting but I don't know how they could have fixed that because Light, L, and Ryuk just kinda steal the show. I'd agree that Naomi Misora was done dirty though; I remember thinking the episode where she dies was a low point for the series. That's quite the manga collection. I only have 2 complete manga series and pieces from 5 others. I don't have any of the ones that you mentioned though besides 2 volumes of Death Note.

14:00 Hey, it's meeeee! Glad you enjoyed the video essay from that total stranger. Such works and essays are key in opening some debates and discussions. It truly sucks how that entire part about Naruto is just... Subpar. The fact that so many male-written mangas show female characters are prizes to be obtained or tools for the male characters and barely ever the reverse. It moreso appears when you read women-written mangas, where it tends to be better-balanced, hence Full Metal Alchemist's dissonance with shonens of that era. 20-30 minutes per manga? Girl, your eyes are FAST! Perhaps it's me being French and buying Eng mangas for their lower cost overall, but it takes me an hour per volume no matter what... I enjoy looking at page layouts a lot and little details in panels. Then again, might just be my boomer-like slowness (I truly am the meme of the old man in a Mega Man game saying he's 30 years old) ... Death Note is long tho yeah, but I'd argue that it gets WORSE as the volumes proceed. Compared V1 with V12 for instance, you will see the differences. The first few chapters have many more interesting layouts and full-page panels, like the scene of Light buying the wood panel for his desk secret pocket space, or Ryuk searching for cameras, the chapter for L's reveal showing him in the dark on the left page, you turn to see a pristine mostly-white page full of detailed background lines... and the scruffiest, most-generic anime guy in the foreground with few details. I shall protect my baby. <3 Now give us a Misa Amane RP :3 Glad to know some of our collective Patreon money is going to books and mangas, sweeeeet! Your bedroom must have the killer nerd corner with shelves full of paper!

I actually remember seeing "The Menu" being advertised in my city for a Nov 8 release in cinemas. Don't remember how it looked, just the title and release date - and that the female lead character is very pretty haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I mean- do you still say you "enjoy" a film even if it makes you cry?

Damn I actually have opinions on Misa lol, I agree so hard that her potential was slept on! There were so many times where I wanted her to realize how badly Light was using and treating her, causing her to become an antagonist for him. She could have been the greatest threat for Light and there were so many more interesting things they could have done. Her realizing that Light never once cared about her would be doubly crushing for her, since she sees him as both her lover and the avenger of her family, that turn against him could have been amazing. You could argue, “oh that’s her character flaw, she’s too devoted to Light” but I really think they take it to an absurd degree, to the point where it doesn’t even seem logically consistent. Like yeah she’s not a genius like L or Light but she’s still a functioning adult! It leaves Misa feeling like a plot device more than a character sometimes, like she’s there to just give Light a free pass to use Shinigami eyes with no threat to his own life span. I would love to have seen a spin-off in which Misa takes revenge on Light and becomes the new Kira, probably even more powerful cause of the eye deal and twice lengthened life span thanks to Rem and Gelus’ sacrifice. Also I completely missed how weird that phrasing is with L saying, “She’s capable for a female detective” didn’t even notice that! Yeah pointing out that she’s capable “for a female” is a reeaaal weird thing to say and draw attention to specifically haha

I think it's sometimes okay to have a character who only exist to support the mc, but I agree that when it's a major character and they still have no motivation or character arc, it becomes annoying that the writer didn't develop them, especially when you know they could've done it if they wanted to. As someone who gets bored easily, I'm very glad that you make what you want and try so many different character types and scenarios, instead of only doing variations of the same thing. Because if there's one thing I can say when I watch your videos is that I'm not bored. That's the reason why I don't fall asleep to your asmr that much lol, is because I wanna see what you do with them. Since the topic of writing was brought up , I'd also like to get your thoughts on self inserts in writing.

I have been super busy the past two days and am catching up on posts. At least due to my horrendous media literacy, outside of video games, I don't have much to say as I have not seen much almost any of the things you have talked about lol. I will add to the Naruto discussion that at least the older female characters were still pretty strong. Tsunade , Kurenai, and Anko I remember as being really cool as a kid. Although I am appalled by what they have done with Anko now lol. Also the only thing I know about Misa from Death Note is that my friends sister in High School has a statue of her. So the younger generation is still sharing similar experiences to you for better or worse.

How did you forget Fullmetal Alchemist?!
