I’m curious how these modern takes on One Piece will deal with the Okama and related characters (assuming they get that far!)
I haven’t read the manga, but the anime at least comes off super-transphobic in how they’re played for laughs at times. I think that’d necessarily be cut from the live action version, but less hopeful about this for another anime adaptation.
This is a weird grey area for me. I see it as a silly episode where bender does some reprehensible shit, sort of learns his lesson but than continues being a shitty person.
That episode really bothered me – decades before I realized I was trans it was my least favorite episode of the entire run. It just came off as too mean spirited, and relied too heavily on the man-in-a-dress “joke”.

As a trans woman, I thought it was interesting that in one of the most recent chapters (this is not a spoiler) Shamiko has to deal with some minor awkwardness about her name having changed. The series is consistently queer-adjacent in ways that go way beyond the central relationship!
They also tended to say the changes made it ‘hard to follow’ or ‘ruined the pacing’ or other things, but as an anime-only that just flat wasn’t true. I actually really loved the kind of elliptical feel of the story in S1.
I honestly kind of felt that source readers were border-line brigading posts about the anime on reddit. It certainly didn’t make me any more inclined to check it out!
You should probably have made some of the questions optional – “distribute a 100 points” is just not something I’m going to bother thinking about.
Bofuri is surprisingly good! Not in any way serious in tone, since it all takes place in an MMORPG, but some good action scenes, especially in the first season.
Pretty sure it’s completely kid friendly (no fan service or other anime weirdness.)
One issue I’ve seen is that the bot’s empty posts tend to flood out other more interesting stuff from my main feed.
I’ve thought about removing the community from my feed for that reason, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
