For June, I'm discussing one of my favorite shoujo manga: CLAMP's Tokyo Babylon! So of course, I had to recruit Lucy & Robin of the wonderful CLAMPcast in Wonderland to help me do an extra long deep dive of this bold & stylish, supernatural queer cult classic: What makes it so special, why it being "problematic" is actually important, how it's themes & story elements are still relevant over 30 years later, and most importantly: THE FASHION! We discuss the basics of the characters and story up until the SPOILERS, which start around 1:50:00. Enjoy!

The Anime Nostalgia Podcast - ep 115: ReView: Miyuki-chan in Wonderland

 

Subscribers! Be sure to go to the blog to read the description easier & check out links for this episode!

This month’s episode is another short ReView! What is a “ReView” episode, you might ask? Well, it’s my highly-clever (ok not really) name for episodes where I go back and revisit an older title I haven’t seen in a long time, and see if what I remember (and what my opinions on it) are still the same now that some time’s gone by. This month, we’re going down the rabbit hole to revisit a lesser known OVA based off a CLAMP title that came out in the 90s: Miyuki-chan in Wonderland. Is it a fun adventure, or should we forget we ever peered into the looking glass? Let’s find out!

It’s February! So what better time to chill with a friend I love to have a little walk down memory lane about something we both have a fondness of? That’s right, Newtypelady is back, and we’re having a fun, somewhat laid-back look at some of the work of the all-female mangaka group CLAMP! Join us as we talk about everything from frustrating hiatuses, to egg babies, to surprisingly promising sequels. (And yes, even Devilman. How timely!)
