In our newest Yuricon 2023 video, Mandisa Washington and I crack each other up as we wander in and out of taking about Girls With Guns, after her she does an amazing presentation about the genre! Watch S04 E16 – Yuri Is A Warm Gun: Sisterhood & Transgression In The Girls With Guns Genre
As always, I ask that you go to YouTube directly and drop us a “like” and a kind comment! That kind of thing really helps getting our work shared out and about.
We have one more panel planned for Yuricon 2023, but if you want to get your panel or presentation in…there’s still plenty of time: use the Yuricon 2023 Panel / Presentation Form.
That was a lot of fun, but sometimes the titles went by too fast.. I did manage to catch SHWD, however (first volume is out on Bookwalker, and probably elsewhere).
I am guessing that the title I kept hearing as “Chorus” was “Lycoris (Recoil)”?
I really enjoyed making explicit the threads that tie together the genre as a whole, plus pointing out the progression of the Bee Train series from “they never talk” (such that, in Noir an emotional peak is reached when one character writes a letter to the other), to El Cazador, where they talk a great deal.
Also, I love the idea of Kei and Yuri submitting a budget proposal for their jobs, and having the agency low-ball them in an attempt to get the job done on the cheap.
