Interested in anime and manga of all eras, particularly yuri/GL and magical girl titles. I like the idea of a problematic fave.
Something I enjoy in a few yuri titles I've seen is the story in which men are never or seldom seen. Yuru Yuri, for example, takes place apparently in the 'regular' world, but luxuriates in concerning itself entirely with girls, to the extent that there are certainly no male characters. It's great.

I'm also interested in talking about the relative virtues of different media, like "is this thing culturally worthless versus this other thing?". Although I enjoy something like Umamusume, I know it doesn't necessarily have the same depth as e.g. a generally-accepted "good" novel (pick whichever)

- Umamusume Pretty Derby
- Mayonaka Punch
- I'm in Love with the Villainess
- Yuri is my Job!
- Aoi Hana
- Frieren

I'm interested in yuri anime and manga, its history, its idiosyncrasies, and its relationship (or lack thereof) with the realities of the lesbian and bisexual experience in Japan and elsewhere. It's an almost unique aspect of popular fiction with a very distinct and sometimes arcane set of tropes.
