The Anime Tea The Anime Tea

Some people online called me an anime tourist, so I travelled to Japan and became one. For context: Anime Tourist- in the way that people on twitter (X) use it - is meant to imply I'm not a true anime fan because they believe I'm trying to impose my values on a medium that comes from a different culture. And I decided to combine this with actual Anime Tourism - which literally means traveling Japan for anime related events or sites.

The 2000s American anime-watching experience is unmatched. With the controversial but essential program of 4kids on WB, the iconic Toonami and Adult Swim blocks on Cartoon Network, and the rise of early pirating on YouTube and Crunchyroll. Growing up as an anime fan in this era was a strangely beautiful time.

Are shoujo girls really as outdated as some might argue or are they a necessary example of the complexities of representation in stories? Let’s discuss.

PURPOSE My name is Phoenix and I dive into the world of visual storytelling in anime and sometimes manga on a weekly basis.

Once upon a time, a girl fell in love with an ancient god half-dog hybrid who kidnapped her. I dive into the history of the beauty and beast story to determine why anime is obsessed with retelling it in the weirdest ways possible. And tackle my own conflicting feelings about the series.

These have to be the worst, most redundant tropes in all of romance anime....
