New Video on Yuri Studio!

June 23rd, 2022

Yuri Studio Season 3 Episode 4 Sports in Yuri Anime & Manga is live on YouTube! This video is in honor of the greatest Yuri sports anime to date. ^_^

I know I ask you this every time, but a “like,” and a comment on Youtube makes a difference – so does watching the whole video all the way through. Every comment and like the video gets means it’s likelier to be shared through the algorithm.

YT actually starts to pare off watching hours if you go too long without a new video, isn’t that nice? (It’s not nice.)

I hope you enjoy this new video and let me know what you think over on YT!

As always, please consider subscribing and following the channel and a like and a kind comment on YouTube is a big help, thanks!





Translators, Editors and Letterer Roundtable on Youtube

March 20th, 2022

This past winter I facilitated a 4-week workshop for Michigan State University on Japanese Pop Culture and Transmedia translation. Thanks to our sponsor Catherine Ryu and the incredible talent we gathered as workshop leaders, it was a raging success and we hope to be running it again next winter.

This workshop featured Zack Davisson, Louise Heal Kawai, Mari Morimoto, Sara Linsley, Sarah Moon, Jennifer O’Donnell, Jennifer Sherman and myself as speakers. Links to all of their public sites and contacts are in the show notes.

Because all of the workshop leaders had so much fun learning from one another and chatting online and on Zoom, we decided to do a post-workshop roundtable so we could sum up things we learned from each other and the lessons we wanted to share with everyone. That roundtable is now up on Youtube, where you can watch it at your convenience.

 

 

 

This was so much fun, I hope you’ll watch it and join us on our Discord and share your experiences in publishing manga! Don’t forget to give this video a like on Youtube.

We’re working on the next Yuri Studio video right now, so see you soon!  ^_^





Interview with Ada Palmer on Yuri Studio

January 30th, 2022

This week we have a special episode of Yuri Studio! A few weeks ago, I did a short video with reading recommendations for fans of Revolutionary Girl Utena. Among the recommendations was Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota series. (See below for links)

Today I am able to share my interview with Ada Palmer herself on world- and character-building in Terra Ignota, the works of Tezuka Osamu, historical LARPing and, of course, Revolutionary Girl Utena!

We range pretty far and wide, so I hope you’ll tune in for what was an amazing conversation.^_^

 

 

Please consider giving us a like on Youtube, a kind comment and subscribe, if you haven’t, because I have way more planned for Yuri Studio!
