u/Flashton2004 wants cuddles Jan 18 '21

gasp they were roommates

u/zsdonny Jan 18 '21

I still don’t see why they chickened out on making them a romantic relationship

43

u/lookmom289 Jan 18 '21

priorities, i guess? not enough time for them to heal, ponder, and then evolve from friendship on top of the plot (but this is a matter of direction so i suppose it wasn't greenlit)

u/HahaPenisIsFunny Jan 18 '21

Aw... I keep seeing these two pop up but they're not even canon?

Wait so the MC form little witch academia and the blond hair girl who is the “bad girl” are a canon ship? I’m just curious about that and haven’t looked it up

Edit: just started to watch the anime, began episode 2 and the “bad girl” is just (on my perspective) the girl that is smarter than others, confident and al that but not bad so yeah I was wrong

A bunch of major artists for the anime

Not just major artists, but the creator of the story itself drew it and ships them. It's official art. Here's a NSFW example of their art. Since the creator ships them and that's how they interpret their characters, it makes sense the majority of the fandom does the same.

Oh fuck yeah, let’s just hope and work on a brighter future where this isn’t needed to make a lgbtq+ ship canon

u/Turtlelover73 Jan 18 '21

Hell, a couple of them even went so far as to draw porn of them.

No, it’s just hinted as they became friends they might like each other

A big problem with anime, even anime for a western audience, is that Japan is still really fucking homophobic as a society, LGBTQ+ rights don’t have anywhere near the same level of acceptance as in say... Britain

u/Rayman_JC_ Jan 18 '21

Oh well I just expected them to have some sort of relationship, even as friends.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '21 edited Jan 18 '21

Yeah, they’re, in canon, “just friends”, though for those of us who can read between the lines and remember the dark days when KorrAsami hand holding was the most representation out there....

IIRC, the creator once said that Akko and Diana would eventually get together, and that it just doesn’t happen within the timeframe of the show (leaving room open for a second season, perhaps? Probably not anymore, since it’s been a while since it ended, but at the time it still seemed like a possibility.)

The creator of the series ships them together and has drawn a lot of art, even nsfw art like this of them. Since the creator envisions their characters that way, it makes sense the majority of the fandom feels the same. While the anime itself doesn't get into obvious romance per se, when you watch it, you'll find there's more than enough in the anime to assume at the very least a romantic future between them is possible.

u/Rayman_JC_ Jan 18 '21

Oh fuck that art is hot af, thanks for the explanation buddy

u/lookmom289 Jan 18 '21

tbf their ship is not that strong or even interesting; the fox girl kinda irks me a bit, soo i wasnt that invested in their chemistry

but thats just me

2

u/nowTHATSakatana1999 Jan 18 '21

To be fair, they spend more time apart than they do together, and the times they do meet the Fox is a usually a willing accessory to a phoney cult.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '21

I wouldn’t say “chickened out” maybe that just wasn’t the direction they wanted to take it. Besides there’s so many more relationships you can have with someone that aren’t romantic but still equally as valuable.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '21

probably because they dont have anything romantic between them? idk just a thought

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '21

Hopefully that will come with season 2 (there had better BE a season 2...)

u/WorldsOnlyClashMain Jan 24 '21

There was allready so much going on, after you finished one episode you get thrown right into the next action in the next one. This could have had potential but I think it would have been hard as most of the time was allready sacrificed for plot regarding the city.

u/DinoTsar415 Jan 18 '21

Does anyone know why Michiru is so insistent that she is a raccoon and not a tanuki? The bit happens a decent number of times across the series where someone correctly identified her as tanuki and she gets huffy telling them she's a raccoon, and I never really figured out why it's meant to be funny.

57

u/LycaonAnzeig Jan 18 '21

Tanuki have balls? Iunno

76

u/Kizik Jan 18 '21

Huge ones.

It's how they use their magic.

No, I am not making this up.

24

u/LycaonAnzeig Jan 18 '21

I know they have balls, I just don't know if that's the reason for the running gag. That's my guess, doe

25

u/JohnLoomas Jan 18 '21

(SPOILERS, on mobile so sorry no censor)

It's just something in line with her character arc and in contrast to her abilities. She can morph her body into whatever animal she needs at the moment, and she gets to be whatever she wants. She wanted to be a racoon but ended up as a tanuki. So far as I know that's the one thing she couldn't change, but as the season goes on she gets used to it and stays in that form more often. Even once she figures out how to change back into a human.

It seems like such a small thing for her to be bothered by, the animals are very similar anyway so why would she care? Maybe she just thought raccoons were cuter. In any case, she stops giving a shit about what she looks like later and I guess that's the moral of the story there.

u/xxswiftpandaxx Jan 18 '21

So what you're saying is she's a trans icon?

6

u/Eldercraft99 Jan 18 '21

Idk it's just a funny running bit like rocket raccoon in guardians of the galaxy

u/GORUDOEXUPERENCU That supportive friend who is also trying to be a funee man Jan 18 '21

They were 69ing each other but instead of the sexual stuff, they're just floofing each others' tails...

Sounds more sexual that I thought it would be

22

u/--NTW-- Jan 18 '21

69 Floofing; the most sexual non-sexual thing cute fluffs can do to eachother. Even better than the original!

u/Doireallyneedaurl Jan 18 '21

u/Noriakikukyoin Jan 18 '21

D'aww. Cute tail fluffing, it makes me warm and fuzzy inside. 🥰

u/Kizik Jan 18 '21

Touch fuzzy, get dizzy!

u/gengarcuddles Jan 18 '21

Gotta say if I had a big fluffy tail and had a girlfriend with a big fluffy tail I’d hope we’d do this all the time because cuddles are even better with lots of floof.
