“i want an anime with a visibly disabled character!!!”

“no, a visibly disabled POC!!! and make them a woman!! and dealing with extreme poverty and homelessness!”

“well, what about a POC with severe mental and emotional trauma? and a narrative about the horrors of war and imperialism, and race supremacy!!”

“give me a woman who is as strong as the men in the power structure of her society!!! but don’t sexualize her!!!”

“give me an anime with a cast that’s diverse in terms of gender representation!!!!”

“show me the most successful anime of the past 30 years…that’s been written by a WOMAN!!!!”

“give me an anime with a cast of different races and religions!!! and show me a narrative that includes the way imperialistic white-dominated power structures oppress and devastate minority groups based on racism and destructive actions of war!!”

“give me an anime with character development and intense personal narratives!!”

“strong female characters and a narrative without sexism!!!”

“the best anime of the past twenty years!!!!! if not one of the top animes of all time!!!!!!”

“what should i watch next?????”
