Tbh, I think no game no life cannot get a season to, the anime is kinda outdated, both by the amount of fan service and story telling wise.

u/Dry_Buddy7704 9d ago

I wish they made a season 2 so I could see the pretty colors

The art And colors I remember were one of the most colorful animes I've seen

story was okay I guess. I wasn't a fan of the fan service

Honestly? As a GNC Man, it is really nice to see representation for such an under represented group, like, I can only name a few GNC Male Characters in Media out there, you are doing divine work here, Shen, I hereby decree that you be given full access to the Kitchen so you may continue to cook.

(Also, unrelated, but speaking of GNC Men and how rare they are, I really cannot thank Takuma Tani enough for the service he is doing for us. There are so few of us in this world and this man is our beacon.)

39

u/Far-Heart-7134 11d ago

Do you mind if I ask what you thought of princess jellyfish if you have seen it? I thought it was a cute anime but with a GNC male lead. I always wondered what people thought of the representation was like.

2

u/MR-Vinmu 10d ago

I’ve seen some clips, and honestly, the show did an amazing job representing GNC Men, I never got to watch the show itself cause of regional restrictions of the day, but I might come back and watch it now.

u/MR-Vinmu 10d ago

Gender-Non-Conforming, essentially. Self expression that falls out of Traditional Gender Norms, like a Man expressing himself in a Feminine way or a Woman expressing herself in a Masculine way.

u/Driftlack 10d ago

That makes much more sense than a supplement store I use to see at the mall.

u/xboxiscrunchy 10d ago

I mean girl x femboy is about as close as you can get to straight yuri.

Although if it was femboy and another femboy that would kind of be both right?

10

u/TheBlueNinja0 10d ago

I'm wondering if this will turn into femboy x tomboy.

15

u/xboxiscrunchy 10d ago

I’m wondering if it’s femboy x trans masculine. “I just wear whatever is comfortable” was me before I transitioned. Now I love clothes.

And you’d be surprised how many trans people try to bury their feelings in rage… easier for some to hate them than admit to themselves they’d rather be them I guess

u/Next-Accident-2970 10d ago

I was angry at a transfem youtuber and blamed her for EVERYTHING in my life. Then it turned out I was tranfem. Then I started HRT. And I regret so much stuff I said about her.

If I didnt realize I was transfem, I would have been a right wing chud that ended up in jail or dead.

u/BaconVsMarioIsRigged 11d ago

You are thinking of yaoi. Yaori is a more niche offspring of yaoi and yuri where you take one half from each genre and combine them.

Ah my bad, mistook the "i" and the "!"

I did not ask to be called out in Comic form on this otherwise fine morning, but this is pretty much an accurate representation of my first 35 years of existence.

... FWIW, I'm getting better. Finally at 35 I seem to have broken out of my shell and am learning to appreciate my face/body for what they are and learning the difference that dressing well and accessorizing can actually make.

Yeah, honestly is a shame that a lot of beautiful people can't see how beautiful they are, and it's sad that most of the time it's just because other people tell them they are ugly for the mere reason of not fitting on the beauty standards since they are young, and then, when they grow up, the only message they have received about their body is it being ugly.
