Guess who's back. Back again. Apologies to dub only watchers. I went with subs this time because 1) in dub Anzu refers to ikemen as “hot“ or “cute guys“ making it sound more like her opinion than a title, which ruined the vibes a little 2) it's the version I watched it in first and 3) although I only watched a little of the dub, I really like Anzu's original sub voice a bit better, and the sub overall this time around. She sounds a little more gruff or whatever when she's ticked off. We've got a female aroace rep this time! The previous examples on my channel have also been rather cold appearing characters, so it's nice that we also get someone who's genuinely really sweet and friendly. While I love my don't-give-no-shits aroace characters, it's nice to have rep that shows we aren't all cold hearted jerks ^^; I was so certain at the beginning of the anime that they'd make her fall in love with one of the characters and have some icky message that your other passions in life aren't as important as romance, but they didn't go that route. It was nice ^^ That said, I can see Anzu possibly having a romantic interest in one of the characters, but I headcanon her as maybe Greyromantic or something. Irregardless! As I said in the disclaimer, nothing has been confirmed so headcanons are a free for all! ^.^ And because I know some of you might comment, aro/aces experience LITTLE to NO attraction, Anzu likely falling in the “little“ category. While she may have some “doki-doki“ moments, that does not prove that she does not fall on the aroace spectrum. While she may have moments she does not appear to have actual romantic feelings FOR the individual. It's more just an exciting moment, or it's a watered down version of what allos (people who experience romantic or sexual attraction) will typically feel, and their feelings don't run as deeply in comparison, or it could be more akin to the feelings from a squish--which is like a platonic version of a crush. Many aroaces confuse feelings of a squish and assume it's romantic attraction (since they've probably never experienced romantic attraction before to compare their feelings to) Thanks for joining my aroace awareness lesson. I hope you enjoy the video. Chao~
