Los Justicieros fue increible ❤

"It's Pride, time to turn up the Erasure!" is a whole-ass MOOD.

I’m gonna unsubscribe, good bye and thanks for the previous videos!

8:50 And a certain webcomic from the late 90s early aughts. If you know, you know.

i'd love a video series on defuncted dubbing companies

I never liked Looney Tunes. But I don’t like the Pink Panther anymore.

so as a gay dude who watched the ova as a teen i will say it did have positive aspects that benefitted me, it was one of only a handful of things that validated me, both as someone who is gay but also was a shy kid, i was drawn towards m/m relationships but i was not ready for the levels of physical intimacy and sexual abuse that a lot of these manga and anime relied on(looking at you gravitation) to draw people in. it was nice to have something that was "tame" enough not to scare me off but not so much so that i couldnt be sure there was anything going on outside of my own headcanon that all being said; thankyou for picking this anime, it was a nice bit of nostalgia ^^

I've seen this movie so many times over the years. It used to be the only BL anything I had access to for a long time.

Dover Boys is the highest effort shitpost ever, memes aside, it is one of the funniest pieces of animation ever and I love the smears.

I never read the manga but watched the ova. Its fantastic. But I really think sometimes is gore porn. I really hate the way they kill the little boy in their house. Is very gruesome in a way that feel more like enjoying the death of a child than trying to show something. And overall I like Crybaby more. Is so much more emotional. I actually felt empaty for every character for the first time. And even the death of the kid there was made in a much more sad and depressing way with much less gore. I also love that weird animation of studio Saru. But visually the ova is impecable. Specially the colors. And the sniper shot shot. XD Why I'm commenting in such old video...

I just let out the ugliest laugh/scream when I saw the corn 🌽 I think my brain had completely repressed that clip but it’s come back to me now 😂😂😂

Doug Smith killed it for being his only main role ever in his somewhat short career. He will forever be the one an only golden boy.

Ah I love this anime. Also Armitage 111

This has been a fantastic retrospective telling the history of Looney Tunes and WB animation. Really hope an eighth installment is still in the works!

Not a thing I'd likely watch, I'm not the intended audience and that's ok, but just wanted to say this was another good video by yourself.

Wait, wtf?!... Yaoi isn't known as boys love internationally, it's shounen ai. The main difference is that yaoi depicts actual sex scenes while shounen ai depicts only the romntic stuff and no dicks, I repeat - NO DICKS!

2:29 Peter Rabbit?

Fire! is not the first "shonen ai" manga. It's exceptional for having the first gay kiss scene in manga, but the stories central romance is heterosexual.

If you don't want to do a vid on Angel Cop how about Dominion Tank Police?

When you did a vid on Legend of Lemnear I thought for sure Plastic Little wasn't far behind.

I was expecting after talking about the prohibition of homosexuality in Japan for you to say "and here he comes, YUKIO MISHIMA WITH A CHAIR!!"

Ngl when I was a teen (late 90s, early 00s), I had no idea yaoi was by and for women. It was the first openly, unabashedly gay media I'd ever encountered, and I thought it was basically the coolest thing in the whole world lol. I also had a hilarious belief that Japan was a paradise where it was okay to be gay (not unlike the gaijin character you briefly showed in samurai champloo lmfao). Anyway I would eventually learn the truth about yaoi but I forever will appreciate it for helping me find my identity🏳️‍🌈 Thanks for giving it a spotlight and Happy Pride🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

I absolutely loved fake.

Robert mickimson Golden Era was 1946 to 1959

Dudes being guys

I LOVE this series. But the manga is better >_<; I still love the animation.

11:28 wait omg ALL this time "yaoi" has been the Japanese equivalent of the abbreviation "pwp" / "porn without plot" 😳‼️

Yeah, I can see how hard it would’ve been to find this series through a Google search. Though I got a good chuckle from that bit.

Never trust mysterious attractive blonde men!! I LOVE shonen-ai from this era, so if it's possible to find a physical copy of this manga, I'll definitely have to check it out.

Funnily enough in terms of Christmas movie classics, I hold both Tokyo Godfathers and Elf in High Regard as representations of two styles of Christmas movies.

Rock's color scheme and design reminds me of Protoman from the Megaman games. Rock's name simultaneously shares his name with Megaman himself via Megaman's pre-localized name. I'm not sure if these similarities were coincidences or just a sign of Megaman's art style being influenced by the works of Tezuka.

I watched Fake almost 20 years ago and didn't really remember it as well as Loveless or Gravitation, so it's nice to be reminded of it and it's great to see a work like this covered so well. It feels like sometimes it can be hard to have a discussion about earlier BL and yaoi works without people getting very hung up on whether yaoi/BL should exist at all (or at least, a few years back it felt that way) so it's really nice to see a focus on "wait... do these guys actually work as a believable romantic couple?". I wrote a lot of essays in university on queer representation in comics, manga, anime, and western animation, and it's a subject I still think about a lot. I must admit... I had to pause at the Dave/Karkat joke from laughing so much, it caught me completely off guard. Great video!

"The next time you see something homophobic in a Persona game, blame colonialism." The psychological concept of people having a "Persona," and the game style of a party of adventurers crawling through a multi-level dungeon came from the West, too, not just the bad stuff.

Watched this back in 2007 on Logo. I found it pretty funny and was kinda surprised at how dark it gets in the second half. Coincidenctally, I'm watching your video while I'm on my own vacation in Japan. Great job, as always, KB!🏳️‍🌈👏

HAPPY PRIDE NERDS!

I read this and still have my TokyoPop versions of the manga in a box somewhere. If you want an in depth on same sex sex, Linfamy has a few videos on it. I always imagined Wendee Lee voicing Bikky and Johnny Bosch as Ryo. But the Q in LGBTQ has nothing to do with gay people and everything to do with going against the norm and being a political identity (it's like people who want to be punk, but they're just posers).

To be fair, Japan isn't the only country to fetishize homosexual couples in media made by hetero writers for hetero audiences. It's rampant in porn but even in erotica and art house films; I remember there being a debate about whether the film version of Blue is the Warmest Color, a famed LGBTQ+ graphic novel by Jul Maroh (born Julie Maroh and cited as such on the cover of most of their books, hence the need to include their former name), was geared towards male audiences due to the fact that the director was cis-male and the sex scenes were much more explicit (and extended) than in the GN (as a cis-male, I'm going to plead the fifth on my own experience watching the film). The Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series even hints at this kind of fetishization, with Scott, upon learning that Ramona is bisexual and had a relationship with Roxy, saying, "You had a sexy phase?!" and at another point (though I honestly don't remember if it was in the graphic novel or the movie or both) saying "I'm in lesbian with you," when he meant "love." There's a think piece in there somewhere, and I am nowhere near qualified to write it. I wonder where the Wachowski's Bound fits into this discussion, now that both directors, who at the time they made the film presented as male (at least to the general public), have come out as trans. I remember it being praised at first for representation and then as fetishizing lesbians for a male audience. I'm curious, has the pendulum swung back to the film being accepted by the LGBTQ+ community, especially with the Matrix being reevaluated as a trans allegory?

Is it Biphobic if he has a history of “hitting and quitting?”

Oh dear lord, the Yaoi Paddles 😅 I'm pretty sure some people will have Vietnam-esqu flashbacks from seeing these. I remember seeing some of the boths by Hendane ( the company that distributed Yaoi doujinshi and Yaoi paddles in cons) have the LGBT flag with the word Yaoi on it. People's reactions were pretty strong

I have mix feelings when it comes to FAKE. I like the manga because it expands more than the ova. I’ve always just questioned why they made the decisions they did in the ova. For one thing, the two girls were added and I felt they were just put there to get killed. Everything happened exactly the same without Cindy trying to nudge Dee and Ryo’s feelings for each other. I also wonder, why didn’t they just do the ova on the first chapters of the manga. They pulled from volume two, which would confuse anyone on who all the characters they introduced in such a short amount of time. If it was from the first volume, we would get to know, Ryo, Dee, Bikky, and Carol. Also I think a manga/ova that came out called Kizuna by Kazuma Kodaka would be an interesting topic to talk about because she learned manga techniques from Sanami Matoh herself.

The Davekat joke was a direct headshot on my 13 y/o self. I CHOKED Oh well, at least those two helped me work out I was Bi. 20 y/o me is at least greatful for that

Whether you like it or not!

Damn, this was a blast from the blast. The VAs i haven't heard in years, the Yaoi Wars, *The Corn*. It was definitely professional fanfiction, but it was pure stress relief during finals.

Finally, Copaganda I can get behind

Mori Mari also rejected and/or divorced men fairly quickly, claiming they weren't good enough for her. History has claimed she had a complex for her late father, but considering how many queer women write m/m even today, I doubt we can write her off with the incest excuse so easily. I have to wonder what she'd say if she were alive today.

😅 Well that was enlightening! Seriously, I’ve been into anime since the seventies and knew about all of this stuff … heck Motoko was into chicks, big time. Thx & More, please … history is important.

Nice

You should cover "Stop, Hibari!" for this month. The main character is a trans girl.
