  2. Heard people criticize it as being weird and hamfisted. But I think that's part of why it's aged so well. The transgender aspects of the narrative didn't really focus that much on Joanca as a trans woman, but more on just how fucked and pitiful the transphobia itself is.

  3. One of my favorite bits of trivia regarding these characters: both actors would go on to play beloved queer characters in Sailor Moon. Masako Katsuki (Joanca) played Sailor Neptune, and Keiichi Nanba (Clicky) played Zoisite
