With no other knowledge than 'dark sapphic magical girls' Danny agrees to watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Valsaraptor and DokiDokiBunBun guide our resident straight guy through soul gems, contracts, and (clearly lesbian) heartbreak as we walk through the main series including currently released movies.We read through some not-so-hot takes from Reddit, talk about what makes Madoka stand out from the magical girl genre, and of course, play everyone’s favorite bit... You know the one where BitkingDT makes the hosts guess the top ships on AO3.Obviously there are spoilers here so this episode is only for fans of Madoka Magica. ;)✨ Follow for More Anime & Manga Content🎥 YouTube: GirlsGaysAnimes https://www.youtube.com/@GirlsGaysAnimes🎵 TikTok: @GirlsGaysAnimes https://www.tiktok.com/@girlsgaysanimes📸 Instagram: @GirlsGaysAnimes https://www.instagram.com/girlsgaysanimes✨ Shopping Recommendations👕 Notice Me Senpai Shirt – KDM Anime Shirts (Use code GGA for 10% off!) https://shop.kdmvintage.com/?ref=GGA👕 Sick Yaoi Merch – Kaiban Zero (Use code GGA for 10% off!) https://tr.ee/TniJrRCNvq📚 Yuri & Yaoi Recs – Benable Manga Recommendations https://www.benable.com/GirlsGaysAnimes🎮 Gaming & More🎮 Twitch: GirlsGaymesAnimes https://www.twitch.tv/girlsgaymesanimes🎧 Spotify: Podcast Episodes https://tr.ee/AanyE4I3Qu🔗 Linktree: GirlsGaysAnimes https://linktr.ee/girlsgaysanimes#MadokaMagica #PuellaMagiMadokaMagica #Anime #MadokaKaname #HomuraAkemi #PMMM #MagiaRecord #MadokaMagicaEdit #MadokaMagicalGirl #WLWAnime #YuriAnime #SapphicAnime #Yuri #QueerAnime #AnimePodcast #AnimeDiscussion #AO3Ships #GirlsGaysAnimes #StraightDudeTries #AnimeFandom #AnimeReview

🎸Given Movies Double Feature Recap with Hot Scenes & Hot Takes (Sorry, Mafuyu) 🎤
This episode, Valsaraptor and DokiDokiBunBun hit the theater for the Given movie double feature—and we have some opinions. From angst-filled concerts to quiet crushes and awkward pacing, we break down both films with our usual chaotic love and a lot of spicy commentary. 🎤🔥We talk about the highs (Akihiko actually apologizing??), the lows (Haruki’s storyline deserves better), and the tonal whiplash between the two films. (Hot take: the first movie was better.)Also? We didn’t love the animation. And we’re just gonna say it: Given might’ve worked better as one strong movie—or a short series—than trying to stretch into two uneven films. 👀Expect hot takes, big feelings, and absolutely no chill when it comes to The Thirsty Desert Scene™ (you’ll know it when you see it).Whether you’re a longtime stan, a soundtrack simp, or just confused why your faves barely speak in the second film—this episode’s for you..✨ Follow for More Anime & Manga Content🎥 YouTube: GirlsGaysAnimeshttps://www.youtube.com/@GirlsGaysAnimes🎵 TikTok: @GirlsGaysAnimeshttps://www.tiktok.com/@girlsgaysanimes📸 Instagram: @GirlsGaysAnimeshttps://www.instagram.com/girlsgaysanimes✨ Shopping Recommendations👕 Notice Me Senpai Shirt – KDM Anime Shirts (Use code GGA for 10% off!)https://shop.kdmvintage.com/?ref=GGA👕 Sick Yaoi Merch – Kaiban Zero (Use code GGA for 10% off!)https://tr.ee/TniJrRCNvq📚 Yuri & Yaoi Recs – Benable Manga Listhttps://www.benable.com/GirlsGaysAnimes🎮 Gaming & More🎮 Twitch: GirlsGaymesAnimeshttps://www.twitch.tv/girlsgaymesanimes🎧 Spotify: Podcast Episodeshttps://tr.ee/AanyE4I3Qu🔗 Linktree: All Linkshttps://linktr.ee/girlsgaysanimes🏷️ Tags & HashtagsTags: Given anime, Given movie, Given Hiiragi Mix, Given Uragawa no Sonzai, Given BL movie, Haruki and Akihiko, Mafuyu and Uenoyama, Hiiragi and Shizusumi, BL anime, boys love anime, queer anime, music anime, emotional anime, shonen ai, Valsaraptor podcast, Dokidokibunbun, anime podcast, queer media podcast, hot takes anime, anime movie reaction, GirlsGaysAnimesHashtags: #GivenAnime #GivenMovie #HiiragiMix #BLAnime #YaoiAnime #ShonenAi #QueerAnime #BoysLove #AnimeHotTakes #AnimeInTheaters #MafuyuSato #UenoyamaRitsuka #AkihikoKaji #HarukiNakayama #GirlsGaysAnimes #AnimePodcast #QueerPodcast #GayAnime #EmoBandBL #MusicAnime #Dokidokibunbun #GivenReaction #AnimeDoubleFeature #BLDiscourse

🖋️ Where to Read, What to Avoid, and Why We Love Fanfiction ✨
Ever fallen down the rabbit hole of fanfiction? We have, and we’re taking you with us! In this episode, Valsaraptor, DokiDokiBunBun, and Mim break down where to find fanfics, the different types out there, and the unspoken rules of fandom culture.From Fifty Shades of Grey to H.P. Lovecraft, Star Trek, and yes—even My Immortal—we explore how fanfiction has shaped pop culture, including books and movies that technically started as fanfic. We also dive into fanfiction culture in Japan (doujinshi), the unexpected origins of some iconic stories, and the things you wish you didn’t know (dead dove, lemon/lime...).Of course, we can’t talk about fanfiction without mentioning My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and the chaotic ships that come with them (Bakugo stans, we see you). We also discuss LGBTQ+ representation in fanfiction, why AO3 and Wattpad remain go-to platforms, and how MLM and WLW stories thrive in fandom spaces.Whether you’re a reader, writer, or just morbidly curious, this one’s for you!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~✨ Follow for More Anime & Manga Content🎥 YouTube: GirlsGaysAnimes (youtube.com/@GirlsGaysAnimes)🎵 TikTok: GirlsGaysAnimes for memes, outfit/manga/manhua/anime reviews, and recommendations (tiktok.com/@girlsgaysanimes)📸 Instagram: GirlsGaysAnimes for manga and anime recommendations (instagram.com/girlsgaysanimes)✨ Shopping Recommendations👕 Notice Me Senpai Shirt: KDM Anime Shirts (shop.kdmvintage.com/?ref=GGA) (Use code GGA for 10% off!)📚 Manga Recs: Benable Manga Recommendations (benable.com/GirlsGaysAnimes)🎮 Gaming & More🎮 Twitch: GirlsGaymesAnimes for gaming content and playthroughs (twitch.tv/girlsgaymesanimes)🎧 Spotify: Podcast Episodes (tr.ee/AanyE4I3Qu)🔗 Linktree: GirlsGaysAnimes (linktr.ee/girlsgaysanimes)💌 Contact Details: Linktree📌 Tags: fanfiction, fanfic culture, anime, manga, doujinshi, anime podcast, manga podcast, fandom, otaku, anime community, book adaptations, yaoi, yuri, shonen, shojo, anime recommendations, harry potter fanfic, my immortal, star trek, 50 shades of grey, wattpad, ao3, archive of our own, dead dove do not eat, LGBTQ+, MLM, WLW, My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Bakugo, Itadori#fanfiction #anime #manga #doujinshi #animepodcast #mangapodcast #fandom #otaku #animecommunity #booktok #fanfic #ao3 #wattpad #myimmortal #harrypotterfanfic #50shadesofgrey #starwars #startrek #yaoi #yuri #shonen #shojo #mha #bnha #jujutsukaisen #bakugo #itadori #mlm #wlw #lgbtq
