Protect your privacy.\n\nFor this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Dirty Pair (1985), the Sunrise anime adaptation of Haruka Takachiho’s 1980-2018 light novel series of the same name. It follows the wacky spacefaring adventures of Kei and Yuri, the “Lovely Angels”, a pair of lady bounty hunters willing to do just about any job for a quick buck. Hilarity ensues as their escapades inevitably end in the inadvertent destruction of whatever places they visit. It is pretty much Barbarella (1968), but animated; alternatively, it is Charlie’s Angels (1977) in space. The anime’s showrunners also worked on others 80s classics like Armored Troopers VOTOMS (1983) and They Were Eleven (1986). Episodes 7 through 12 tonight.\n\nAfter that, we’re going more mainstream than usual this week with Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989), the extremely popular Studio Ghibli film from legendary director Hayao Miyazaki. Somehow, we never watched this on the ‘tube, even though we spent months watching pretty much everything the studio has put out. People have requested a Ghibli, so here we go. Join in for the cozy adventures of a tween girl who strives to become a full witch by completing a year of independent life, which she fulfills by flying around on her broom as a letter courier. This was a huge blockbuster at the time in Japan, and is widely considered one of the greatest animated films of all time.\n\nWe’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:\n\nblorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine\n\nBe there, comrades!\n\n# Letterboxd:\n\n  * Dirty Pair: letterboxd.com/film/dirty-pair/\n  * Kiki’s Delivery Service: letterboxd.com/film/kikis-delivery-service/\n\n\n\n# Doesthedogdie.com links:\n\n  * Dirty Pair: www.doesthedogdie.com/media/835620?index1=-1&inde…\n  * Kiki’s Delivery Service: www.doesthedogdie.com/media/10250\n\n\n\n# CWs for Dirty Pair:\n\n  * Objectification of female characters.\n  * Sexual innuendos.\n  * Cruelty to animals.\n  * Misogyny.\n  * Deaths of animals.\n  * Sexual assault: Men attempt to grope women without their consent.\n  * Animal corpses.\n  * Gun violence.\n  * Explosions.\n  * Shower scene.\n  * Flashing lights.\n  * Fat jokes.\n  * Misgendering.\n  * Antisemitism.\n  * Nazis.\n  * Nudity.\n  * Car crash.\n  * Blood and gore.\n  * Child endangerment.\n\n\n\n# CWs for Kiki’s Delivery Service:\n\n  * Bugs.\n  * Crying baby.\n  * Destruction of child’s toy.\n  * Natural bodies of water.\n  * Screaming.\n  * Babies.\n  * Fat jokes.\n  * Misgendering.\n  * Misogyny.\n  * Plane crash.\n  * Honking horns.\n  * Screeching tires.\n  * Child endangerment.\n  * Child abandonment.\n\n\n\n# Links to movies:\n\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 7: tankie.tube/w/hhXq8Y1HdMP2Zrw3cNbw9d\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 8: tankie.tube/w/pPksz5SS7R1Jev8vPDkoNa\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 9: tankie.tube/w/9Htmz5gfsxY9iPjaGJU8iT\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 10: tankie.tube/w/cyn9y3VbnRzcd1RJBtQxyk\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 11: tankie.tube/w/vepGR1mcXGZnpLcVDwYUTc\n  * Dirty Pair ep. 12: tankie.tube/w/eBsCZpRgZvaxHo8XqAjPFU\n  * Kiki’s Delivery Service: tankie.tube/w/k2P5GQSc9UQ2irLKUcYnGn\n\n",
