Specifically, I wasn’t seeing much about popular or even good narratives surrounding gay women until I heard about Otherside Picnic.
Being young and suddenly drawn to another women is such a real experience for a lot of gay women, and allowing those feelings and that relationship to develop naturally is the best thing Otherside Picnic did.
Overall, I felt slightly disappointed that the anime didn’t go as deep into Sorawo and Toriko’s relationship like I felt it could.
Otherside Picnic touches the surface of its horror and sci-fi themes like many ongoing series do.
