Each week our team of hosts and producers present interviews, information, music, news and features especially important to Lesbians, Gay Men, Bisexuals, Transgender & Nonbinary people, Queer, Intersex, Asexual & Aromantic people and Allied collective communities. Since 1989, The Tenth Voice radio show has documented and informed the LGBTQIA+ Kansas City Community.
Join us this Saturday on The Tenth Voice as we continue our series on anime (animation) and manga (illustrated novels) dealing with LGBTQIA+ themes. As always, we’re going to give you a wonderful list of resources for LGBTQIA+ anime and manga shows that are non-cringe, non-triggering to watch! So, be ready to squee your queer little heart out at all the fuzzy feelings and join us under the rainbow kotatsu today! This month, we finally have the long awaited Yuri Kuma Arashi discussion!!! It’s famous or infamous as a yuri show – with a lot of symbolism and implying that society sees being a lesbian as being as destructive as bears eating women… It’s from 2015 and was ground breaking and subversive at the time. It’s directed by Ikuhara Kunihiko, who was involved in Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and Penguindrum, amongst other things. Two of these are famous for their cutting edge lesbian content… so expect great, or confusing things from Yuri Kuma Arashi!
The discussion will be hosted by Fiona and Anna: Fiona is a nonbinary lesbian, and has presented in panel sessions on Yuri and LGBTQIA+ themes in Anime at AWA, Momocon & Otakon, as well as assisting with engineering for anime music video (AMV) sessions at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2021 & 2022, and at Momocon 2022 & 2023, two of the largest anime conventions in the United States. Anna is a regular guest of The Rainbow Kotatsu and as well as loving anime & manga, and being a gamer, she hosts a regular Transformers podcast!
