Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear episode 5 is a lot more enjoyable when you try not to think about the ideological ramifications of it. I went and watched the first episode of Vlad Love. There isn’t really anything wrong with it, but as someone who got pretty burnt out on Vampires right before I went all in on Anime, this isn’t compelling or interesting enough. Vampires of course have a strong association with Lesbianism independent of Anime. What I am perhaps uniquely positioned to notice is how often Yuri Vampires kind of break with Yuri conventions. To the point where I kind of feel like some non Anime non Japanese Lesbian Vampire fiction actually has more Yuri appeal. Carmilla itself can work as a Yuri Anime pretty well if you made a direct Anime adaptation,( instead all adaptations of Carmilla feel the need to “update” the story even though the original was ambiguous enough to allow a perfectly Woke interpretation). Or the film The Moth Diaries. The real major Yuri Genre show of 2020 was Adachi and Shimamura which has a Simuldub starting right now. Looks like shows of 2020 are gonna be Simuldubing all through 2021. I’d really prefer shows they didn’t start dubbing till they were in fact done and aren’t Toonami/Adult Swim broadcasts to just be dropped all at once. This show I’ll probably wait to binge, or at least wait till I can do the 3 episode test. Well next week is likely to be the end of this series as a weekly feature.
Also here is the introductory post for this series.
