213 - Guest Gaiden 2 - Representation with Amelia Cook

This week we launch our first special guest themed Gaiden series with Amelia Cook, creator of the Anime Feminist website! Get ready for a mega-sized episode as we interview Amelia about her manga/anime origins and how she started Anime Feminist. Then she joins us for a in-depth discussion about representation in manga/anime as we analyze our own positive and negative examples of female characters in shonen battle manga!

  • 01:46:32 - Darfox and dakazu praise how the sexually active for Haru from BEASTARS isn’t portrayed as shameful female character trait, Amelia likes Scum’s Wish for giving it’s characters complex relationships with sex
  • 01:56:04 - Darfox likes the tough but maternal growth in Reiko Tamura from Parasyte, we wonder if pairing atypical manga/anime female characteristics to non-human characters makes them more acceptable
  • 01:58:03 - Amelia catches an ingrained generic convention in dakazu’s perception of Emma from The Promised Neverland as gender-less, we discuss how crying for Midoriya from My Hero Academia is looked down upon, the portrayal of dirty ugly men in Kaiji are praiseworthy in darfox’s eyes
  • 02:07:50 - Seamus and dakazu praise Shojo Fight for having excellent representation of character interactions that avoid false-conflict, we praise My Love Story!! for exploring relationships after they’ve formed, Seamus appreciates manga that explores relationships between adults without the possibility of breakups in both Friday Night Lights and What did you eat Yesterday?

  • 02:23:11 - Amelia had quite relatable experience with Tokyo Tarareba Girls, The end of Absolute Boyfriend resonated a lot with working women
  • 02:30:53 - dakazu suspects the lack of fan service in Attack on Titan might have more to due with Hajime Isayama’s lack of artistic talent, the androgynous nature of Hanji ended working in favor for non-binary representation
  • 02:35:19 - dakazu recalls how the reader attachment to transgender representation in Family Compo moves past the manga artist’s original intent, darfox appreciates Misturo Kubo’s own female perspective towards the women in Moteki
