Yoko Hikasa, who voices Mio in #K-On!, voiced characters in #BanGDream! (Tomoe Udagawa), #BodaciousSpacePirates (Lynn Lambretta), #EncouragementofClimb (Kaede Saitō), and #LittleWitchAcademia (Diana Cavendish). (94/?)
#bodaciousspacepirates and the subsequent film are examples of animation featuring #queer women and female friendship, something which too many anime do not do. Instead, they either rely on subtext, only have female friendship, or only queer characters. Hopefully this changes in the future. (70/70)
In #bodaciousspacepirates, pirates remain respected within society, even though their activities can be relatively limited. Even so, they have an important and valued societal role. histhermann.wordpress.com/2025/06/19/i... (67/?) #pirates #starwars #cleopatrainspace #lowerdecks #mysticons
I then shared the opening to one of my favorite series, #bodaciousspacepirates, which too few people know about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvQp... (61/?) #pirates #anime #yuri
I also talked about other series, which did not air this year, such as #MitsuboshiColors, #BodaciousSpacePirates, and #AsteroidinLove. These anime remain relevant as stand-out series when it comes to #femalefriendship. (2/?)
Some of my other favorites include: #KimPossible Movie: So the Drama [2005], #TheProudFamily Movie [2005], #Ponyo [2008], #TheWindRises [2013], and #BodaciousSpacePirates: Abyss of Hyperspace [2014] (160/?)
