I had never seen her naked, I was embarrassed. Today I can say that it was the embarrassment of gazing with pleasure at her body, [...] I washed her with slow, careful gestures, first letting her squat in the tub, then asking her to stand up: I still have in my ears the sound of the dripping water, and the impression that the copper of the tub had a consistency not different from Lila’s flesh, which was smooth, solid, calm. I had a confusion of feelings and thoughts: embrace her, weep with her, kiss her, pull her hair, laugh, pretend to sexual experience and instruct her in a learned voice, distancing her with words just at the moment of greatest closeness.

— My Brilliant Friend, Chapter 57

Today marks the 17th anniversary of an animated series that remains largely unknown.

Gladiators: The Tournament of the 7 Wonders feels like a cross between Avatar: The Last Airbender, W.I.T.C.H., and Netflix's Blood of Zeus. It is a darker and edgier gem of the same studio that made Angel's Friends.

No, it's not just about fighting.

This is a tale of force and courage, of moral complexity and inner growth, of survival and sacrifice, and of loyal friends united by the light. Beautifully animated, with an array of diverse characters and locations, this series deserves to finally be recognised.
