劇場アニメ『パリに咲くエトワール』特報 ｜ 2026年3月13日（金）全国公開

Really love this teaser trailer we got for the new anime film, "L'etoile de Paris en Fleur." The animation is beautiful and I love the idea for its story, being a friendship between both a painter and a Ballerina. Can't wait for this one. :)

I'm a Guy, so..|My Dress Up Darling S2(Episode 3-4)

Well, given to what I said in my latest video yesterday, Amane Himeno is such a great addition in My Dress-Up Darling and showcases crossplaying in a way I can relate. A guy cosplaying as a girl takes a lot of commitment and it shows. :)

My Deep Dive & How I Relate to Amane Himeno from "My Dress-Up Darling"

 

Well, for those who are wondering, since I've seen a good chunk of anime shows and movies, I know the ones we got in recent years that I've always wanted to check out, My Dress-Up Darling is one of them. Based on what I'm seeing since I have yet to watch all of the episodes of the anime or even read the manga, I do find it interesting on my part and is serving as a love letter to cosplayers all over.

So, since I have yet to check this out now that its second season is currently going on as we speak, there is one character that caught my eye that upon my research and first glance, I can actually relate to. And that character being named, Amane Himeno.

For those who don't know in the manga and anime, Amane Himeno, who's real name is Chitose Amano, is described to be a male cosplayer who specializes in cosplaying as female characters, or cross-play in short. He has been described by the main protagonist, Marin Kitagawa, as being a "pretty boy" due to his features and smaller stature and when he is crossplaying, he is able to hide his masculine features through makeup and his overall demeanor that he is easily mistaken as a girl.

Given to all of that, I know it's gonna sound weird for me to say this, but from what I'm seeing, I can relate to Amane to this one. How so? Well, I do have my reason for my argument. Throughout my decade long journey into cosplaying, I have been trying my hand at crossplaying to various results. And what makes it more interesting is that, I do realize that clothing doesn’t need to have any gender assigned to it. Sure, I had people come to me with weird looks saying that I shouldn’t be those outfits or other stuff that are harsh for me to say, but I chose to not care what they say and keep on doing it.

Crossdressing has been around since the dawn of time and I know when it comes to cosplay, I’m not the only one who’s tried out crossplaying. And Amane really showed that, all with a nice deep dive to his character and his backstory shown in the manga and anime.

I can go on and on about how much I can relate to Amane by far, but I’m sure it’ll be saved for later. But for now, what do you guys think? I’d love to know. :)

The Thomas Wooden Railway PILOT (2015) ~ (Full Video / Lost Media)
