ive kind of found myself in a rabbit hole of anime production CD-ROMs. theyre a lot more like art galleries than art books.

recently nabbed the materials collection CD for the Pretty Sammy OVA, its full of great stuff and some rarer production materials. heres the rip: archive.org/details/samm...

yet even then she still punches down on herself trying to find a supposed "maleness" within her that doesn't exist as some sort of explanation for why she was even born male to begin with. but there just isn't. there is no explanation and we'll just have to grapple with it, somehow

as our MC grows up we find her life becoming less and less oriented around her transness and more towards her girlhood, often forgetting the issue altogether. and thats the thing right? transitioning is just a thing that happened and now you have to move on with your life.

been reading "Until I Become Me" and despite how much lighter it is compared to most trans manga i like it a lot more for that. it shows a part of the experience that isnt talked about much

they had an actual actor for the young girl, but not the boy unfortunately. amano's character designs don't translate to real life very well.

been thinking about that fucking wack ass dub? adaptation? thing of angel's egg. basically used some bits of the animation and used it for an entirely different story for a live/animated hybrid

why was there ever a cut version of this movie. like a whole 40 minutes. you could tell there were pieces missing
