Nerdy Magical Girl Milady Confetti

Cutie Honey is undoubtedly one of THE most influential and controversial pieces of work since it's publishing over 50 years ago. While it pushed the Magical Girl Genre and it's themes beyond what was thought Magical Girls were thought to be, especially being a Shonen, it did force people to reckon with the question of where is the line when it comes to entertainment aimed at children when it comes to certain themes. Coming of age stories like Horimiya, heck even Naruto are great and should be celebrated for what they are, but when the but when the content/ "substance" of a show is 99.999999% fan service hmmmmmm questions have to be raised. Nagai is a pioneer in the manga industry and has written and illustrated many works. While he knew his works whether that be in Sci-fi, Horror, Magical Girl or historical would push boundaries on censorship, it is also interesting to know that his "portrayals" of certain characters were so OUT there that an entirely new genre was created that centered on $*x jokes within the Shonen category. While Adults write Young adult novels and manga all of the time, and handle coming of age stories of love, self-discovery, deep feelings, heartbreak and so much more, sometimes we do have to sit back and wonder....who is the actual target audience, where is the inspiration for these works coming from, and where do ethics, morality and art intersect?

Have you all every heard of anime Magical Boys before? What if Attack on Titan was actually in the full framework of a magical boy anime; how wild would THAT be?! This idea to cover this topic got stuck in my head, so I had to do it! I may have girl bossed too close to the sun because it took me SO long to edit and I had a quick turn around due to outside commitments. So def going to allow myself some air before the next episode!

Not gonna lie this one hit hard. Process your grief in community. Although we as an Anime community have our difference, I think we all understand that Akira Toriyama's impact on anime, gaming and popular culture is immeasurable. While I was more of a Sailor Moon gurlie, I fully understand and respect Toriyama's impact. I LOVED Kid Buu and Android 17 and have their funkos on my large Funko wall collection. My favorite seiyan is Vegeta because he always worked SO HARD and loved his wife dearly. Look at me rambling in my own description box haha. Apologies for the wonky editing and flubbing of words towards the end of this video. I kept recording multiple takes because I was getting emotional but trying to speak clearly.

This was a fun episode to piece together! I want to reiterate what I did in the video that it is perfectly okay to have a different opinion than mine. What I want to do is celebrate Black Women in the space, that's characters and voice actors! This is a celebratory experience but of course I have to throw some education in there as well. Remember to be KIND in the comments, this is not a space for hatred.

Welcome Back to Season 3 of the Nerdy Magical Girl Podcast! I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for their patience with me when one i expressed I was taking time off from the podcast and shifting the content delivery to a more scripted form. Despite the wrinkles which I am sure will iron out with time, repetition and practice I am happy with this new direction. I love Magical Girl Anime and Magical Girl Characters. This journey is for sure going to be a magical one!
