Hey IM BACK IN ACTION Power ranger SOUND

Well this is a intriguing show, saw it for the first time since it popped up social media ADs I was signed on may i say....

Iyanu is sucha great series for its artwork animation which are done with utmost care, oozing with such flair, style, plot & show stopping ways of writing.

seeing this show is whats missing in african culture cause it focusing on yoruba culture (which is a refreshing series tackling alot of stuff thats been missing out in todays animation & entertainment

So much organic storytelling, with true tradiontal style & taste that hasnt been shown in a while, not to mention great cultural hertiage and representation

(not the type to shove it in our faces with the show and not tell writing & situations for MODERN AUDIENCES)

Iyanu is one of shows of cartoon network thats truly a underdog show that deserves so much praise & flowers for its EVERYTHING

THIS is a series no one should SLEEP on that desevres truly the world and great to see african rep as a whole being explored from food, style taste and voice acting not to mention the yoruba culture which is rarely depicted in media this is a beautiful beautiful love letter to all african media as whole.

This is sort of a continuation to the previous Weekly SHJ. As in 1) the passage below directly follows the one from last week, and 2) I’ve created something of a narrative thread between the instalments.

比翼鸟在其东，其为鸟青、赤，两鸟比翼。一曰在南山东。

The joint-winged birds are to the east. They are blue-green and crimson, and two birds fly on shared wings. It is said they are to the east of South Mountain.

-From the Classic of Southern Lands Beyond the Seas ( 海外南经 )

Red bird,

be my wing.

I cannot be whole

without it.

Green bird,

stay beside me.

Take me across the mountains.

I don’t know what we’ll find 

across the ridge,

but just the feeling

of flight on joined wings

the sky above and mountains below

is enough.

You too, Biyi!
