Dang, Attack No. 1 still holds up in its first episodes! This is a rewatch for me so I'm particularly excited to see if I pick anything else new up this time around.

There was not tooooo much girl suffering this week, but it's early on. The unhinged nature of old shojo can only be contained for so long...

Mark your calendars because on April 11th you have the chance to watch the first sports shojo anime of all time: Attack No. 1!

Join the Shojo Sparkle Squad and experience an all time classic and one of the most brutal anime, shojo or not, you will ever see. I'll be showing three episodes a week (with Hamtaro as a preshow) starting at 6:40 PM (PST) every Friday!

Hope to see some of y'all there~ 🏐 :neocat_cute_reach:

@aarbrk @aiono not really, but there's only a small amount of anime that does this so it's not hard to avoid. Plus there's entire genres where you're unlikely to find any of this garbage, like #shojo. Medalist is a good example of a recent show which not only depicts child characters without being creepy, but is genuinely heartwarming: animefeminist.com/medalist-epi

Anime Feminist · Medalist – Episode 1 - Anime FeministCompelling and warmhearted, Medalist will capture the gold in your heart as a story with a lot of potential to be one of Winter's best.
