As a result, the Japan-derived concept, while still situated, begins to offer possibilities for broader conceptualizations of girlness within the contemporary global digital mediascape. While acknowledging that shōjo has mediated multiple discourses throughout the twentieth century-discourses on Japan and its modernity, consumption and consumerism, non-hegemonic gender, and also technology-this volume shifts the focus to shōjo mediations, stretching from media by and for actual girls, to shōjo as media. Through its diverse chapters this edited collection introduces the two main currents of shōjo research: on the one hand, historical investigations of Japan’s modern girl culture and its representations, informed by Japanese-studies and gender-studies concerns on the other hand, explorations of the transcultural performativity of shōjo as a crafted concept and affect-prone code, shaped by media studies, genre theory, and fan-culture research. The term refers to both a character type specifically, as well as commercial genres marketed to female audiences more generally.
Since the 2000s, the Japanese word shōjo has gained global currency, accompanying the transcultural spread of other popular Japanese media such as manga and anime. Some tightening of the story, and maybe ditching one or two characters could have made a really stand out action series.

It’s just disappointing when you can see a series being so much better than it actually was. DB-ANN Taishou Mebiusline: Chicchai-san (TV. I enjoyed the action, the story was pretty good and the characters fun. Visual Novels 31372 > Tags 2679 Releases 80420 Producers 12001 Staff 23865 Characters 97680 > Traits 2900. Overall, Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens was an interesting watch.
While I did say that characters didn’t get much screen time, the baseball scenes did give a chance to show some camaraderie and the ‘family’ ties they had between them. I also enjoyed the inclusion of some baseball scenes to break up the action. The action is swift but clear, and you can always enjoy seeing how the characters will take advantage of the situation. There’s so really tense sword fights, brawls and getaways throughout the series. What this does do well is its action scenes. We never know why he took on being a masked hitman or the reason behind his god awful haircut. As soon as he arrives in Tokyo, though, he runs right into a conflict between the all-powerful Imperial Army and the mysterious Gohongatana Clan. Banba himself is never fully explored, there’s a hint at history with an ex-girlfriend and that’s it. Taishou Mebiusline Taizen In our WarehouseIn the year 1923, during the last days of the Taishou Period, Hiiragi Kyouichirou leaves his home in the countryside to attend the Imperial University. For example there’s the unlucky dude who is literally just there for laughs – absolutely not character development besides a 2 sentence backstory. By the end of the series I knew 3 characters names, and a few I just referred to by their character tropes. Like many anime with 12 episodes, it’s really hard to connect with the large cast of characters. I could easily have seen those 3 episodes extended to be about 6, and cut out the second ‘plot’ and merged plots 1 and 3 together, to make the entire series focused on Lin Xianming rather than randomly jumping to mushroom head in the middle of the series. Which can make it a little disappointing once you get to the end. The rest of the 9 episodes are still quite good, but the series never regains the stand out quality of those first 3 episodes. I was instantly hooked, and invested in the characters particularly Lin Xianming. The series starts off incredibly strong with the first 3 episodes. It was praised pretty highly by other ani-bloggers, so I decided it was high time for me to give it a chance! Based on a light novel of the same name, the series has 12 episodes and aired during this year’s winter season. The stars of the series are dynamic duo Lin Xianming and Banba Zenji, with Banba a mysterious yet comforting figure and Lin haunted by past demons. The area is where the underworld comes to life with drugs, prostitution and hitman abound. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens follows such a group of misfits as they try to make a living in a near unliveable world. The Hakata ward in Fukuoka may not be at the top of your travel destination list.
