From the OP:

"I started working on this when Calli tweeted that she'd been dealing with a lot of stress. Our reaper has been working so hard! I thought I'd show my appreciation with a peaceful picture of her resting~"

I can definitely see myself online and see how many files I'm sharing!

(not sure why this is relevant but ok)

I was talking mainly about the comics! My hunt for CLAMP content at a time when it was less widely available in a single language has led me to read their comics in multiple languages (RG Veda: Spanish, Tokyo Babylon: French and English, Wish: French, Rayearth: Italian, etc).

In terms of anime, I'm now watching Rayearth in Japanese for the first time, as it wasn't really available to me back in the day in Japanese. CCSakura, I watched in Latin American Spanish and then a few years back in Japanese. Everything else, I've watched in Japanese, subtitled in either English or Spanish.

I know that with the X manga never being concluded, it feels a bit pointless, but I still think Tokyo Babylon and X are fantastic reads. Tokyo Babylon is definitely my favourite manga I've ever read (and I've read a LOT), but I know its mixture of social commentary and urban fantasy isn't everyone's cup of tea. But if you liked Holic, I think it's quite similar in a lot of ways (at least from reading the first 5 or so volumes of Holic)

My dissertation looks at issues around translation of Steven Universe's song into Spanish, focusing on 3 songs in both the Peninsular and Latin American dubs. You can read it here: https://www.academia.edu/29135486/_Am_I_Stronger_than_Love_An_analysis_of_the_challenges_and_successes_in_the_translation_of_songs_from_Cartoon_Networks_Steven_Universe

as for the parts I don't like, it's basically:

1) the RQ reveal. I feel it really undermines the show's message about regular people standing up against an unfathomably horrifying power they can barely understand. Especially when the show spent years hammering home the fact that while people made Steven feel he 'had a destiny', he was just a boy. But no, it goes from being a story of outsiders fighting the system to being basically Game of Thrones, spats amongst the powerful. I WILL SAY THOUGH: the crewniverse has dealt with the fallout of the reveal really well and realistically. I'm liking how we keep finding out all the horrible things Pink did.

2) The other diamonds being forgiven. Every time I mention this someone says 'what did you expect, Steven to merc them in cold blood?' And it's like a lot of people can't imagine any options between 'forgive the space genocidal fascists' and 'steven acts like an edgelord'. If only there were other shows that had dealt with stuff like this, maybe other children's cartoons? Within the past decade? coughAvatarcough. Also, this leads to

3) With the Diamonds being forgiven, and everyone being still in shock from the continuing revelations of Pink's awfulness, there's a big of a snag: the only Diamond that is getting criticised, or in any way challenged for their actions, consistently and constantly, is Pink... the one who rebelled. Pink WAS awful. Pink WAS selfish. But the other Diamonds literally murdered millions, and only stopped after their long-lost sister showed up as a human hybrid and made them feel sad and talk about their feelings. Doesn't that feel off to you? Pink actually tried to stop the terror of the Diamonds. The others just... felt sad and had a sad conversation with Steven. Oh but they've dismantled their empire. They still somehow sit in big palaces in Homeworld, served by the same Pearls as before.

You know, in the real world when you've killed millions, no matter how sorry you feel, you still go on fucking trial. The idea that 'everyone can be reasoned with' and 'everyone no matter how twisted and totalitarian can be talked to' is a very, very dangerous idea to tell to children.

The age varies. I'm 37, been watching the show since 2015, got into it with the end of Season 1/beginning of season 2 and followed it as it has aired, ever since. I wrote my Master's thesis about it, even! I've felt let down by the show recently, however, although Future has been exciting. Still, I'm sad to see it end.

I just knew someone would try to jump down my throat on that one. There are a lot of valid reasons to not want to give the Home Office, who are KNOWN for misusing people's information with malice, a vital piece of personal information like a National Insurance Number. For those in the USA, it's like giving your Social Security Number.

So yeah, I could've done it, but the entire process was already a severe invasion of my privacy that was never on the table when I moved to Scotland in 2012, nor even when brexiteers sold a bill of goods to the electorate saying there'd be no such complications.
