Jujutsu Kaisen, the horror-flavored battle shounen that just ended its first season a few weeks ago, has some mighty fine waifus and husbandos in its cast. We’ve got stylish sorcerers who exorcise curses with unique techniques, as well as some humanoid curses who give the heroes a run for their money. And since MAPPA’s animation is so gorgeous, we get to see them in the best quality an anime fan could ask for. Here are the five characters from Jujutsu Kaisen we’re simping hard for!
CloverWorks’ original anime Wonder Egg Priority has been a strong contender for anime of the season all winter long thanks to its meticulously beautiful animation, realistically written friendship between the main four girls, and in-depth exploration of self-harm and suicide. It aims to expose the societal issues that cause young girls to fall into despair – things like bullying, absent parents, gender/sexuality confusion, and (especially) sexual abuse. While tackling so many heavy topics is an admirable goal, this anime’s uncomfortable stereotypes of young women and questionable portrayal of LGBT characters hold it back from true greatness. Here’s why Wonder Egg Priority isn’t as progressive as it thinks it is.
The Winter 2021 anime season is boiling over with great characters, both old and new.

We’re here today to shine a well-deserved spotlight on five of our favorite underrated characters of the season, so please join us in celebrating them!
For LGBT folks and anyone else who doesn’t fit into traditional gender norms, the world of anime is a much more welcoming place than Western media (not that there was a very high bar to beat). Still, it’s rare to find a character who isn’t written as a joke and lives their best life without caring if they fit society’s definition of how they “should” look or act. Today, we’ll be showcasing five of our favorite anime characters who kick gender norms to the curb!
We’re big fans of boys love ships, both as part of our constant search for LGBT representation in anime and also just as fun thought experiments. Luckily, the Winter 2021 anime season has given us plenty to think about, so here’s a brief analysis of our favorite boys love ships from this latest batch of anime!
As the Winter 2021 anime season comes to its conclusion, we must take a look back at the best female characters it bestowed upon us. This time, we have a diverse array of schoolgirls, magical girls, and supernatural fox girls whose smiles we must vow to protect. Please join us in fawning over them for as long as we think we can get away with!
