As someone who's cis, it's always a pleasure hearing my trans friends give their perceptions of the same things we grew up with. I could listen to them talk for hours about their headcanons and observations.
Lovely video Ultra, I always love learning about your journey and you keep it interesting. Kinda curious how kashi mashi ends now despite having never heard of it previously lol. Also I could have sworn we’d get the face reveal this time haha.
Thanks for this. Cyber-Six was a wonderful show and I'm glad it helped you. I definitely had some "awesome" envy of Six and intrigue with some of the cross/transformation shows, cringey as some of those elements were; the questions raised didn't resolve that way, but they did lead to recognising some distance between how I'd present myself and how I'd like to. As to actual representation making me aware concepts and people actually exist, I'm always surprised just how many things I was exposed to for the 1st time by the Sandman series.
Well, in France in the late 90' early 2000' (can't remember when exactly) they were an anime "Ranma 1/2" where Ranma was cursed to turn into a girl if he's tuched by cold water. The show was very popular and extremely comedic ( it's a must watch). But I realised that when my brother and my friend loved Ranma as a character, I was jealous of him, the fact that he could change whenever and that he didn't wanted the curse. I didn't realise that i was enby back then but it's so obvious in retrospect😅
I’m so proud of everything you have accomplished ultra! You have achieved so much in recent years! If I may be personal for a moment you were one of the reasons for me to come out to my mom a bisexual and while she didn’t take it perfectly she did take a lot better than I thought she would and I just want to thank you so much! I wish you a very happy pride month and to those who are still wondering about their own sexuality no matter what anybody may say to you there are people out there who will love you and will support you it may not be like that at first but it does exist I promise you!
I always love seeing Cybersix have such a casual queer vibe to it, especially due to the time it was made and the source material it was from. I always see Cybersix as being under the trans umbrella as well, but resonates more with me as nonbinary, specificallly genderfluid and/or bigender, with their comfortability and fluidity in their gender identities as both Adrian and Cyber. Also, Lucas also comes off as bi to me, especially from the scene where he basically asked Adrian out on a date to see a romance movie.
Kashimashi cracked my egg hard. I'd always had the feelings from when I was a kid, feeling jealous of girls, going to bed and wishing to god I would wake up as a girl. And I'm not religious. I hadn't heard the words trans or transgender back then, and by the time I had I'd successfully stopped myself thinking about, though the feeling never left, I still had fantasies of being a girl, so I never made the connection with myself. I remember a film called Switch that spoke yo me, but again I guess I'd repressed my thoughts so well, I was like that Superman meme where he watches the words, the joke, float over his head. Then I saw Kashimashi. I swear I was in a daze for weeks processing it. I'd spent my entire life thinking there was something wrong with me, im talking decades, then the anime awakened something I'd been pushing to the darkest recesses of my mind, suddenly it all made sense. I'm glad kids these days won't have to go through decades of thinking there's something wrong with them or that they're broken. I actually considered Hazel as my new name because Kashimashi.
Wandering Son, the coming-of-age manga and anime that is explicitly about a trans girl that handles the topic pretty well for the most part. Though the anime ending was botched but making the protagonist accept that she was going through a voice change. The manga ending is a bit better but not all the volumes received a translation due to "lack of interest" despite how many trans people have come out and I'm sure would enjoy it. I do think it's worth checking out of you're trans and wish it got more love.
I love that you brought up Cybersix, I loved the show when I first watched it on Fox Kids back in the 90s. I always felt they were FTM. Even though it would be another 2 decades before I would hear the term. I'm not trans, but my husband is FTM. Luck thing for him I was already out as pansexual.
Just double-checked, & Cybersix is still up on an official TMS UA-cam channel. I think there are some rights issues with the theme song that has prevented the series from receiving a regular home media release (tho that could change later on.)
I remember only a few images of Cyber Six even if every canadian animation was destined to reach France as well, that kind of obscure show was inaccessible witout cable. But now i'm very curious if only for the animation, it look great for the time.
It always feel special when it comes to looking back on the cartoons that make you feel not alone, make you realize something about yourself, and that everything will be okay at the end. ✨🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✨ Amazing video. 🩷
As someone who's trans and also transhumanist, definitely inspired by My Life as a Teenage Robot and Gelorum from Acceleracers. Love the comparison with gender and pokemon btw, well done! 💙🤍💜
I have never related to anyone more then someone else admiting they wanted to get hit by an Alien spaceship and rebuilt as a girl. Serioussly I freakin' love Kashimashi. I am 99% sure even if it wasn't what the creator was going for with Hazamu, but she 100% was a trans girl and just hadn't realized yet. She can be seen by someone who only see's girls; she wanted to be a bride as a kid, typically feminine interestests and she never once wanted to go back to being a boy and is very happy being a girl throughout the show. Granted none of that proves 100% She was trans the whole time, you can like what you like no matter the gender. it's just all together it points certain ways. Also you mentioned the Male best friend being played off as a joke and not a proper love interest... I cannot stress how happy that made me to see watching/reading. A lot of time when characters get Gender Bent in Manga and... well anything else. Orientation get's flipped to be straight. I never brought this, it always felt wrong, never felt in character and ruined a lot of cute stories (Can't list them all but the manga 'Idol Pretender' comes to mind here.) Point is I love how Hazamu wasn't changed, she was the same gal she always was, including who she was crushing on and that meant so much to me.
Five Nights at Freddy's ended up being one of the cracks on my eggshell. Fans will know exactly which character I'm thinking of: *Mangle*, debuting in FNaF2, was referred to with he/him pronouns by Phone Guy in-game, while also being a member of the Ladies' Night Custom Night present. When asked directly, developer Scott Cawthon said, whether Mangle was male or female: "Yes". Since then, he - and other developers who later contributed to the franchise - have regularly switched which pronouns they call Mangle (or similar characters like Sister Location's Funtime Foxy) by. Mangle even uses *plural* pronouns for themselves on occasion as of FNaF AR! FNaF World also, unprovoked, introduced Spring Bonnie as potentially nonbinary ("Male? Female? It's a rabbit, who cares?"). FNaF was always a little queer-friendly in the way that male characters were regularly given feminine names (Bonnie and Foxy) while female characters weren't necessarily obvious (Chica famously being mistaken for male until folks got to unlocking Custom Night and realizing she was female by her name). It was especially noteworthy given Scott Cawthon is a Christian conservative, and queer communities by in large distrust those two words (especially put together) on principle. So that he embraced this sort of coding in the franchise that ultimately will pay his bills for the rest of his life, at a time when trans people weren't *quite* yet getting the recognition and respect they deserved, is remarkable. Putting aside where Scott ended up *using* a portion of that money, FNaF is incredibly important to me for helping me understand and eventually recognize my own nonbinary identity. Like Mangle, when it comes to being male or female, the answer is "yes". And I love Spring Bonnie, too. I think it's ultimately why I couldn't help coming back two years after setting the franchise aside - FNaF managed to make itself a part of my identity, by being such a big step in me understanding what it was to begin with. The importance of that can't be understated, and it helps that Scott was kind enough to step away after the controversy broke. Other eggshell cracks include: Mega Man (I met a twospirit friend through that fandom) and Donkey Kong (because of the Hbomberguy Mermaids stream defining words for me and finally getting me to ask myself if maybe I wasn't as cis as I thought I was lol). Honorable mention as well to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Cronos de Medici/Dr. Vellian Crowler is the BEST).
Ultra i respect your transitional retrospect but when are you going back to reviews? I'm guessing after Toronto tfcon? And I I'm not the only one asking. Plus would you review my hero academia? Small spoilers mineta ,kaminari are the roshi Brothers and one more thing midnight and mount lady are the arcee of the franchise. Also would you retrospect what would be your quirk? Mine is mint teleportation hero name teledust I can teleport 0-64 feet when I say "telego" like maximals and predacons say "maximize/terrorize" but if I digest/chew anything mint it boosts to 88 leaving a mint aroma. I made my girlfriend "catchat woman" who can speak to cats and has a tiger as we are the vanishing cat team. See the anime and Go Beyond PLUS ULTRA!
well my cartoon is land before time whinnie the pooh and digimon they show me how to get out of comfortzone brave and be yourself even the world is full of cruel and unloved but when i watch transformers optimus s speech give me whole conference
If I could recommend a very good LGBTQ modern day TV show I have 2 She-ra and the princess of power and my number 2 favorite show after transformers prime The owl house
I may joke about the lgbt community but all I have to say is be you do what you want be who you want just don’t frag me into it that’s it I solved the worlds problems
Would you Primal I'm your UA-cam fan I subscribe to your channel and I know all about your own videos your own favourite and all these time but all the animation even Adventure X and Pokemon and Disney all of them all of them I haven't get to watch cybersix since I were kids since I were 11
knowing that the VA for meowth was trans really adds a new perspective to the speech in the 1st movie about not hating eachother over our differences
If I had a shot for everytime James looked good in a dress, I'd be blackout drunk.
Also RIP Maddie, what a legend.

It's so cool that these shows helped Ultra discover herself. As for me, I think my egg began cracking only recently after watching The Owl House.

Yes, she's back! Oh I miss those days when you uploaded Video almost everyday.
That pokemon game reference was top tier. Bravo.
13:02: I hope that's a sign we'll get the next Rescue Bots review soon
I love that you brought up Cybersix, I loved the show when I first watched it on Fox Kids back in the 90s. I always felt they were FTM. Even though it would be another 2 decades before I would hear the term. I'm not trans, but my husband is FTM. Luck thing for him I was already out as pansexual.
2:26 I need more of your take on Ashley, He was part of my Awakening to my Gender Identity as well XD
Half Life's Gordon Freeman and Dead Space's Issac Clarke made feel represented as someone who suffers from major anxiety
Just double-checked, & Cybersix is still up on an official TMS UA-cam channel. I think there are some rights issues with the theme song that has prevented the series from receiving a regular home media release (tho that could change later on.)
I barely remember Cyber Six from my youth but I always loved her design.
I remember only a few images of Cyber Six even if every canadian animation was destined to reach France as well, that kind of obscure show was inaccessible witout cable. But now i'm very curious if only for the animation, it look great for the time.
Had an awesome theme song too.
It always feel special when it comes to looking back on the cartoons that make you feel not alone, make you realize something about yourself, and that everything will be okay at the end. ✨🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✨
Amazing video. 🩷
I only recently found Cyber Six. All episodes are on UA-cam for free.
Nightshade from Earthspark helped me realise I'm Non-Binary ☺️

I called James the bugs bunny of Pokémon as a kid and both my parents agreed 😂😂😂
