Ep 19 - NANA - Part 2 - This Baby Can Fit So Much Feminism In It
Part 2 of our NANA discussion, complete with spoilers. Our guest Meru (@pixelatedlenses) goes with us on a deep dive through the well-crafted storytelling and the inherent feminism woven into all its fibers. NANA candidly goes places few anime ever do, and we sift through the complexity of its portrayals of sexuality, race, gender, heteronormative expectations, friendships, and the characters' own internal lives. We also discuss the narrative framing, highly effective symbolism, and allusions to the real life Sid Vicious, exploring how they enhance the ideas already present in the story.
Opening theme: "Lucy" by Anna Tsuchiya inspi' Nana (Black Stones)
Ending theme: "Winter Sleep" by Olivia Inspi' Reira (Trapnest)
