One of my favorite video game songs ever is a blend of Japanese and Chinese music styles, though.
"Samurai Scanners" from Warriors Orochi
This is "official" material not fanfiction
Or it's ideas they discarded because they realized these were bad ideas.
Referring to "story" bits like OP shared. Which, again, were discarded.
I hate it too, but if it's made illegal, it WILL be weaponized against those who gatekeep their IPs from those who would destroy them.
"You're stupid and bad for expecting reasonable and understandable returns for our setups!"
Ah, yes, the Brian Clevinger method. In his words, "The best jokes are the ones played on the reader."
I haven't read/seen it, but I've heard Ranking of Kings (Ou-sama Ranking) is pretty good.
I should check it out now.
This will rile up some here, but...
I'm with you. If it were possible to completely change someone from one sex to the other, with complete functionality (such as pregnancy and childbirth), AND there were THREE cases of this working beyond a reasonable doubt, I would 100% endorse it.
I don't think that will ever happen. But it would be amazing if it did.
But right now, it can't. And they need to accept that. Otherwise they'll just permanently mutilate their bodies.
Earlier this year, I watched the anime Kakushigoto.
It was okay, 6/10...but I'm saying this because of its closing theme.
It was a truly wonderful piece of music...and it turns out it's a real song that came out in 1981.
Here's an upload of the song, and here's translated lyrics so you can follow along--there is an upload with lyrics onscreen, but it's full of anime spoilers.
The anime did shy away from the most important detail.
The original online story told the real reason he was thrown out of the house in his past life:
He was jacking off to bath photos of his own very underage niece.
This was cut from the anime. Once I found that out after watching the first season, I swore never to watch the show again.
What a shame. I loved so many of the ideas the series had...but I will not compromise on this.
If it ever comes out that the author is himself a pedophile, I will NOT be surprised.

While you wait for perfection, they advance.
I swear this "win" never gets anything done because we're so autistic with our mental masturbation that we wait for perfection...
Thankfully, this will be moot next month.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Reminder:
Ranma HATES his curse.
He is a male, and always sees himself as male, regardless of cursed body.
Also, your name is Marianne Miller. I'm not calling you anything else, especially after you ruined Martin "LittleKuriboh" Billany.
Can't believe I shook Billany's hand at a con once...at least I got Johnny Yong Bosch's autograph at the same con.
This is true. I was a leftist once myself.
Lady Gaga is evil, but I don't think she's that.
If it turns out I'm wrong and she is, so be it.
Sure you have. Prove it.
Your methods haven't done shit. New approach.
What activism?
You have convinced exactly zero people to see things your way.
Zero.
Stop.
You win nothing.
You have convinced zero people to see things your way.
Your time should be put to better use elsewhere.

Mortal Kombat: Deception had its name changed in France to Mortal Kombat: Mystification.
Why?
If they left the title as is, it would sound to French-speakers as Mortal Kombat: Disappointment
My PS3 finally bit the dust earlier this year. Luckily I was between shows when it happened, so I didn't have a disc in there.
What made it such a great Blu-Ray player compared to players since? I keep hearing it beats later ones.
Hell, I think our enemies used it first. "Stay woke."
I believe the trope for this is "Torch the Franchise and Run."
Nah.
She'll just get that guy she knows to delete all archived records of her leaving.
It'll be like she never left!
You've been at this for years and haven't changed shit.
Give it up.
Give it up.
The T2 arcade game?
The T2 arcade game where you have to protect that black van from the T-1000-piloted helicopter trying to crash into it to kill Sarah and John Connor?
The T2 arcade game where that helicopter appears onscreen way too quickly to reasonably react to it, and its location is random so you can't predict it?
That T2 arcade game?
