Yurikuma Arashi do somethg I would have thought impossible: It an outlandish premise to explore the prejudice facg gay people Japan—and do so Week In Gam: What’s Comg Out Beyond Armored Core VIOffEnglishEnglishBut we’re gettg ahead of ourselv. I don’t know if this is like non or not and I’m not homophobic or anythg but I’m jt nfed as to why the fandom thks that. Ikuhara is generally known for his creative and boundary-phg portrayals of homosexual relatnships.
Y, this is one of the gayt anime shows ever ma and ’s fantastic. Femy and homosexualy are celebrated, much the way that Ikuhara ed to both Sailor Moon and Revolutnary Girl Utena. He was seri director for Fish-Eye’s flamboyant cross-drsg and overt homosexualy.

Aga, his approach to explorg the subjects is extremely humanist, never preachy, and seeks to normalize homosexualy and female empowerment while also skewerg patriarchal valu a surprisgly sympathetic light. Rather than beg an overt nstctn of how homosexualy is treated by Japane society, speaks of prejudice and segregatn general, of the lt, the logistics, and the bety of love, of the dispary between obssn and votn.
