An anime enthusiast, Kris started working anime conventions at 16 years old and hasn’t stopped since. Meet Kris, booking grew up in New York, but currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. ![]() She has a very spoiled cat named Sydney Bristow. Jinnie graduated from Metropolitan State University with a degree in Public Relations, and has handled PR, special event bookings, social media and website design for three decades. She also assists and mentors conventions of numerous topics worldwide and is regularly sought out as a globally influential voice on the convention circuit. An executive convention staffer for nearly 20 years, she co-owns Colorado Anime Fest (CO). Meet Jinnie, principal "Jinnie" McManus was born in S. Our focus is on happy attendees and quality shows. It seems this show haven't picked up steam with the animation community just yet, as it got released a few months ago, but i can say with certainty this show sits besides other modern high quality shows like Hilda, Twelve Forever, The Owl House, The Loud House, Amphibia, Glitch Techs, Kid Cosmic, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe and many other shows(this list would've gone on forever).We are Point of Contact Booking LLC ®, the premier convention booking agency and friend to conventions and actors alike. The first episodes maintained a slice-of-life theme until later episodes, presenting fantasy themes such as clay golems and talking wedding dresses, which is exciting, because it fits the main character and his vivid imagination, which can lead to awesome plots and stories, just like the show Hilda which i mentioned previously. With episodes being 11 minutes, the show felt very fast paced at the first, however it gets much better at later episodes, making at times jokes land just right. Being a Brazilian show, of course the cultural references are all accurate and relives childhood memories, such as calling your teacher your mom, foods such coxinhas and pasteis, and the Festa Junina. The English dub is fantastic, as all the jokes and references are almost perfectly adapted to be just as funny and interesting. The show has continuity, as characters discuss the things Nutty has done in previous episodes and we see recurring supportive and background characters, all of them also uniquely designed and memorable. ![]() Nutty's friends are also unique and nice, but Juliet gets more praise here for having that gigantic appealing black hair. The same can be said about Nutty's parents, which might be the most likable parents in any cartoon I've seen, as they are supportive of his goals, his energy and share same interests. ![]() Nutty is a quirky and imaginative boy with unique traits, such as his appearance and disagreeing to skip class to help his friend Juliet, because he was actually interested in physics. The designs of the backgrounds and characters seems to be very inspired by Hilda, another high quality Netflix show: colorful, vivid, delicious to look at and appreciate. This show surprised me because, as far as i know, there wasn't any Brazilian show, unlike Jorel's brother in 2014 on Cartoon Network, that reached this level of quality, culture representation, likability and modern appearance as this one, considering it's the first Netflix Brazilian cartoon. Outside of the comic series, it only had forgettable live-action movies until now. The Nutty Boy is a known comic book series here in Brazil, as to the likes of Monica's Gang. ![]()

MongoDB uses JSON and BSON languages to make data management more flexible and lighter to process when compared to MySQL. This process also makes data management more efficient and faster, especially when large documents need to be encoded into smaller sizes. The database management software retains a dynamic structure that favors the organization of information, making data modification faster than other database options. Commercial companies rely on MongoDB because it is compatible with multiple storage engines. MongoDB is a non-relational database system that uses the JavaScript language to search data and modify documents into smaller sizes. MongoDB is a database management system that uses NoSQL queries, while providing flexibility and scalability functions.

Read on for a list of the 15 best LGBTQ animated series of all time. This list considers both adult shows, like buddy comedy “Tuca and Bertie” and Hollywood (sorry, Hollywoo) satire “BoJack Horseman” - as well as kids shows like “The Owl House” and “Steven Universe.” We also included multiple anime entries, from classics like “Revolutionary Girl Utena” to modern queer faves like “Yuri on Ice.” In celebration of Pride Month, let’s take stock of the best and gayest that animated TV has to offer. In these conditions, championing queer animated shows is more important than ever. It’s not hard to imagine corporations behind these series backtracking on the inroads these shows made for queer representation out of political fear. Between the Florida “Don’t Say Gay” bill and numerous anti-trans laws passed in red states, there has been a concentrated conservative effort to demonize LGBTQ people and prevent discussion of sex and gender identity among children. That said, all of those series have ended, and it’s unclear if there are similar shows ready to replace them. “Steven Universe” was revolutionary in its own way, and numerous other LGBTQ animated series for kids were able to follow in its footsteps, like “She-Ra,” “The Owl House,” and “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.” ![]() That was a squirrelly situation in many regards (the creators had to wait until the last episode to confirm it, and the entire final season was confined to Nickelodeon’s website instead of the channel proper), but it paved the way for “Steven Universe,” which had its queerness baked in from the jump. ![]() One of the first boundary breakers was “The Legend of Korra,” which more or less made it explicit in the last episode that the title character was bisexual and in love with her friend Asami. Over the last few years though, LGBTQ stories in animation have progressed rapidly. For example, years after “The Proud Family” first aired, creator Ralph Farquhar admitted that the character of Michael was written as gay, but had to be merely queer-coded to conform with Disney’s standards at the time. Western animation, meanwhile, either featured gay characters in one-off episodes (see “The Simpsons'” iconic John Water’s gay steel mill episode) if they were aimed more at adults, or kept hidden in subtext if the target audience was younger. But that content was often mercilessly squashed when it made its way to North America see the infamous first English dub of “Sailor Moon,” which tried to pass off girlfriends Sailor Uranus and Neptune as too-close cousins, or the English translation of “Cardcaptor Sakura,” which removed all instances of queer attraction and romance from the story. That’s not to say that there weren’t LGBTQ people in cartoons before the 2010s Japanese anime, in particular, was slightly ahead of the curve on this front, with ’90s classics like “ Sailor Moon” and “Neon Genesis Evangelion” featuring explicitly queer themes and love stories. So, pearl-clutching TV critics would argue, children shouldn’t be exposed to “adult” (read: gay) characters through raunchy cartoons. Animation is too often seen as content made for kids, and same-sex attraction is regarded as an “adult” topic. The reasons behind the medium’s slowness were obvious and, predictably, homophobic. When live-action television began making inroads for gay representation during the turn of the century, animation remained a frustratingly straight (if frequently queer-coded) affair. Now, we can only hope they stay that way. It took a long time, but mainstream cartoons are finally coming out of the closet. ![]() ![]() All these rides are off to the easternmost side of the Boardwalk.

Like the GMT900 SUVs, these pickups have improved aerodynamics over their predecessors thanks to steeply raked windshields and tighter panel gaps which help improve fuel economy. Like the previous generation GMT800's and earlier C/K lines, it shares styling cues with the GMT900 SUVs of the same year. It features a redesigned exterior, interior, frame, and suspension as well as power increases on certain engines. The GMT900 generation of the Silverado/Sierra arrived in the last quarter of 2006 as a 2007 model. Instead, Navistar would sell the Silverado Medium Duty as a rebadged counterpart, called the " CV". Largely the successor to the 2003-2010 GMT560 chassis, the medium-duty truck is exclusive to Chevrolet, with no plans for an equivalent GMC version. In 2018, at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, Chevrolet unveiled the first medium-duty Silverado, expanding the model line to a 4500, 5500, and 6500 chassis cab. While sharing chassis and bodies, the model chronology of the Silverado and Sierra are different, with five generations of the Sierra and four of the Silverado. įor the 1988 GMT400 model architecture, Chevrolet retained the C/K model nomenclature, with GMC branding its full-size line as Sierras. Today, Chevrolet still uses the CK and the CC in their current model codes to denote a 2-wheel rear drive (CC), or a four-wheel drive (CK). At the same time, GMC C/K trucks used variations of the Sierra name (Sierra, Sierra Classic, Sierra Grande, and High Sierra). The Silverado nameplate made its debut for the 1975 model year, becoming the top trim level on all Chevrolet C/K trucks, slotted above Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, and Cheyenne. Competing against the Ford F-Series, Ram Pickup, Nissan Titan, and Toyota Tundra, the Silverado is among the best-selling vehicles in the United States, having sold over 12 million examples since its introduction in 1999. In Mexico, high trim level versions of the Silverado use the Chevrolet Cheyenne name. ![]() The Chevrolet Silverado shares mechanical commonality with the GMC Sierra GMC ended the use of the C/K nomenclature a model generation prior to Chevrolet. The fourth generation of the model line was introduced for the 2019 model year. Taking its name from the top trim level from the Chevrolet C/K series, the Silverado is offered as a series of full-size pickup trucks, chassis cab trucks, and medium-duty trucks. Introduced for the 1999 model year, the Silverado is the successor to the long running Chevrolet C/K model line. The Chevrolet Silverado is a range of trucks manufactured by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand.

Olmscheid has been the executive director for nearly a year now and this season marks the first that he has mostly put together. The Tudor queens will dance on the Wharton stage from May 14-19, 2024. The story is told with all original music that was inspired by modern pop divas such as Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Nicki Minaj, Adele, Lizzo, Rihanna, Avril Lavigne and Alicia Keys. We know that they never existed in real time together, but it brings them together as if they were battling over who had it worse off with Henry VIII” “It is a modern-day retelling of the six wives of Henry VIII. “It is a really fun production,” Olmscheid said. They’re determined to break out of the nursery rhyme that every British school kid learns: “Divorced, beheaded, died divorced, beheaded, survived.” The season ends with “Six,” in which the wives of Henry VIII take control of their stories and tell it for the first time from their perspectives. This tour is the 25th anniversary production with a reunion of the original choreographer and the original director. 16-21, 2024, “Mamma Mia!” returns to Wharton Center for the sixth time, transporting the audience to a Greek island where a wedding is about to take place. It’s told in a way that’s fun and accessible.” 'Mamma Mia'įrom Jan. “But what she encounters is her plus-size self being hit against what society feels is acceptable, especially to be on television, paired with the backdrop of race relations of the 1960s. “It’s this great, fun, upbeat show about a teenage girl, Tracy Turnblad, who is trying to find her way in life,” Olmscheid said. It is the second time “Hairspray” has come to the Wharton Center with the last time being 2005. She does this after fighting to win her own spot, something made more difficult because she lives in a plus-sized body. While the next show is filled with far more song, dance and jubilation, “Hairspray” also tackles race relations as the indomitable 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad fights to desegregate a weekly television dance show in Baltimore. “Are we providing a variety and an arc of experience that makes audiences think, encourages them to laugh, connects with them in an entertaining way and maybe helps them see the world in a way that they haven’t seen before?” Olmscheid said. Olmscheid said the Wharton is committed to finding a balanced, season-long journey of show types and styles that have been well-received by audiences around the country and on Broadway. The season opens with “To Kill a Mockingbird” and then continues with “Hairspray,” “Mamma Mia,” “Funny Girl,” “Moulin Rouge!
