Yuri is Forbidden for a Yuri Otaku

* genuine charisma and great political instincts
* coalition building (cross-endorsements with opponents)
* stand firm in what you believe in but don't be an asshole about it
* take advantage of social/new media to go around traditional gatekeepers
* run against a literal demon from hell

had so little to do with the wider story of gqux (which was ultimately about shuji and char, and lalah and machu) that getting rid of nyaan and her scenes would've made gqux a tighter show. nyaan your vibe is too good for this show etc

Idk from what I see most of the creators are posting Machu/Nyaan art lol if anything Shuji seems like the late addition with his entire character motivation established in episode 12 in expository dialogue

yeah except Haruko didn't tell Naoto "i've never met anyone like you, I love you too," because unlike Shuji she's a real character with consistently depicted motivations lol

It really is the Star Wars The Last Jedi of anime huh

Unfortunately the latter for me lol from what I've heard about them though it might be a good comparison

The difference is FLCL religiously avoided exposition as much as possible while gqux depended entirely upon exposition, at least in the last 2 episodes

Finally a woman was given talk no jutsu. Feminism win!

I just mean I respect gwitch's attempt to be ambitious and say important things, anytime you do that you will inevitably have a lot of flaws. Even just doing a "pretty good" job is quite impressive...as we can see when they *don't* do a good job lol.

I think people don't understand just how difficult it is to make a really ambitious story. Gwitch season 2 def had issues but it did a lot right and actually stuck the landing in the final episode. Gqux on the other hand...well...
