Here is the previous part. Not that you have to read these in order, or all of them, or any of them, really.

Four days ago I started a really long post reviewing (badly, because I am a bad reviewer and critic) things I've finished in the past few months because I felt like I should. The post started like this:

I really need to learn to just make posts as soon as the idea is in my head rather than hold on to them, so that I won't have to make posts like this and push other post ideas back. Procrastinating these long things that only get longer as I hold out sucks a little. I'm using a template for most of these because otherwise I won't write anything that makes sense or reads well, lol.

You see, because I procrastinated writing review posts I now had to write 8 in one. Except... no I didn't. I realized late last night I can make and post them a few at a time. I've already finished 6/8, but some of them are really long, and some were even truncated for the sake of not having a miles long post. If I separate them I can talk more. So here goes!

... to make you dislike Kaifun.

Now, keep in mind that I am aware I have a bias. He has long hair and looks nice, and other characters I like show I will forgive a cartoon character for almost anything when they look like that. In fact, maybe there's things he's done early on that I can't even remember because I liked looking at him more than I did retaining what is actually occurring on screen.

First of all, I know fiction is fiction and anyone can tell pretty much any story they want to. But the very premise of the show sometimes made me 🤔 A show about how they have to and should fight this war, because of the threat of invasion... from Japanese writers? I might just be a hater; I'm suspicious of any pro-war propaganda from a country only 40 years off from being part of the Axis. Although I understand the urge to draw cool machines and make up wars to explain all the cool machines you've drawn. But then they have this pacifist character, who is Chinese for some reason? Why'd they make the guy who doesn't want war Chinese? And they made him look a fool pretty often too. And I get it, when it comes to reasons for war theirs is a good reason, but... hmmmmmm.

And then, as if being a cringe pacifist wasn't enough, they give you even more reasons to dislike him eventually. As if they don't trust you to dislike him, so they have to add on more reasons. He's an alcoholic, abusive, incestuous, and just generally pathetic. He DOES suck. So it's not like I like him or think he's actually good, but I suppose I question the existence of his character itself? Maybe I'm focusing too much on him, maybe they just needed to break the cutie (Minmay) a little and used a character they already had rather than jump through hoops to create and fit in more.

"You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the abusive incestophile," I know, and I swear that's not what I'm doing. But when I see Kaifun hate it always gets me thinking... they tried way too hard to convince viewers to hate that pacifist... it just makes me stroke my beard in thought is all.

Yukiko! ¡La revista de anime para chicas! Or shall I say... the anime magazine for girls 😏 I don't really have anything more to say about it; the tagline speaks for itself, I think. So let's hop to it.
If you happen across this and know Spanish, feel free to correct any mistakes I've made.. If you don't, there's still a good chance you know English - if anything strikes you as unnatural or you know there's a more common way to phrase something, let me know.
The original pages are right here. Yay for graphic design! I'm sure we all love magazine layouts here.
