I don't mind 'yuri bait' official art, but it would be nice if they used characters where it's vaguely plausable.

Albedo, the black haired lady, is EXTREMELY hetero and is yandere for the series male Villain Protaganist. So, yeah....

That's unfortunate. :/ Also, the image seems broken in your post, but not in the reply box for some reason...

It had a really cool premise about what is essentially a former warship AI in a human body on a quest for revenge against the ruler of her nation for ordering her to murder one of her own officers.

It's kind of a tough read, however, and took about a hundred pages for me to really get into.

The series has a lot of neat worldbuilding, though the actual plotting leaves a bit to be desired.

So I see, hmm... Might want to look into that. Many thanks.
 
Curiously, I finished reading the first ancillary book for a podcast I was going to be on recently. It starts really slow, but the worldbuilding and the central character and antagonist are neat. There's some playing around with the details of the first person perspective that made it really interesting to me structurally. But I really disliked the bits of the book where characters outside the Radsch (where everyone just uses She pronouns), start talking about "correct" pronouns for various characters. Nothing in the book pulled me right out of the swing of things as much as that did.
 
That does help, though I was planning to read them anyway. I like the characters well enough and I wanted to see where it goes next, but as a trans woman it was a real annoying bit of the book.

That's fair. My reading was more that the Radch used language to keep people in line. Have everyone use She/her pronouns to keep things "proper", as they might put it. I think it's trying to imply that those outside the Radch have languages with more than one way to express gender because they're more open to different kinds of identities.

On a metatextual level, I think the author wanted to challenge the use of he/him as natural or default, while still using pronouns just about anyone would be familiar with to make that statement as clear as possible to even folks who hadn't even thought to question the gender binary.

I mean, Breq herself uses she/hers but it's pretty heavily implied and outright stated by the author that she's agender.
 
Well,
It's not exactly fresh news, but... Citrus actually end and has good ending.

Imagine that.

Like if the anime just wait a couple more months they don't have to wrap it up in one season.
 
The Batwoman comic is ending. Again.


On one hand it's kinda annoying Kate can't seem to keep a girlfriend. On the other, it is nice seeing her trying again with Renee, her old flame...

 
So, I don't really have any anime that I'm watching right now, and I'd like to get some use out of my Crunchyroll subscription. Any recs?

Not so strong on the Yuri, but Girls And Panzer is fun if you haven't already seen that. I hear good things about the recent Hanebado, too, though I haven't had the chance to see it myself yet. Princess Principal and Izetta The Last Witch have been discussed before, but I would definitely recommend those as well.

Also, this is more of a cautious recommendation, but Houseki No Kuni is fairly interesting and has a great pair of central characters in Phos and Cinnabar. I've only seen the first few episodes and have yet to get around to finishing it off, and I've heard it takes kind of a weird direction with things later on. I don't know exactly what was meant by that, so of you do check it out, be wary of that. Still, what I did see I quite liked.
