ð Little Magic Girl: Anesthesia of Disengagement from Japanese Society ð
Hello everyone ðĪðŧ, today we are going to share an article that we wrote in a children's literary seminar in the third year, which our group did about the design of the magical girl ð§ðŧðŠ character, and we can see some interesting points that sparked our idea of writing this single article, which we would like to share for everyone to read (as a summary ð). If ready, let's start.
ð§ðŧââïļ the origin of the magic little girl anime genre.
Little Magic Girl is one of the most popular anime genres and is a character that all girls love. Little Magic Girl may come as a single projection or as a group. This type of cartoon in Japan is called Mahou Shoujo. It comes from the words Mahou Shoujo, Magic and Shojo, Girl. For the first cartoon with girls able to use magic, Himitsu no Akko-chan was published in Ribon magazine in 1962 and was followed by Sally the Witch, published in the same magazine in 1966 and made into anime in the same year, Sally the Witch is counted as The world's first magical little girl, Sally the Witch, was so popular that many more comics were created, and a turning point occurred in 1992 with the publication of the most popular cartoon, Sailor Moon, that the definition of a magical little girl was changed to a girl who used magical powers to eliminate the villains who hoped to destroy the world, making the magical little girl anime so popular.
ð the discharge.
As it is known, the age of characters in the Little Magic Girl genre anime is in the teens, which is the transitional stage of life, is the age of adjustment, the beginning is unique, the attitude and values are their own, these are formed by adolescents starting to explore their identity and learn themselves from another person's perspective, as well as the adolescent problems faced, such as growth, friendship, love, that are presented as secondary themes of the story, especially in Japanese students who are expected from what their parents or society set aside, where children do not have much opportunity to find themselves, the pressure to walk within the framework of an organized society. Exactly everything, it makes the way to walk outside the box difficult. Transformation is like a symbol of liberation from society so that they can be free and self-centered as they want. Expressed through the false image of a typical Japanese girl with big eyes, colorful hair, clothes, fashion, and twinkles. Finding an identity may not be easy for some to find immediately. It may be wrong to try. Try it cheaper to find something that suits yourself. Characters in the anime type Little Girl Magic itself, too, rather than accustomed to living as a little girl, magic takes some time.
ðĪĐ anyone can be a magic girl.
And when it comes to little magic girls, many people may think that the series was originally reserved only for girls, but there are also "boys" who are little magic girls, because everyone wants to be recognized by their peers, wants to have a party, a group, or even a friend, and some people have never been themselves in their entire lives, but they have lost their identity for half their lives, and in a Japanese society that divides the role of a man and a woman quite clearly, having a boy as a little girl is also considered to be a disengagement from society, for example, a character called Cure Infini. From the Hugtto story! Precure, he has a penchant for wearing women's dresses. Despite being mocked by others, Henri is unmoved by other people's mocking remarks and is self-confident. In episode 42, Henri suffers a leg injury so that he cannot attend a figure skating competition, causing the villain of the story to use the negative feelings inside Henri's mind to create a strong monster. Until the group of Precure come to the rescue, Henri is able to break out of control and become a Kyo Anfini who comes out to rip off the rink to eliminate the monster and encourage the fans who thought they would never get a chance to see Henri skate again, even before long. Anfini regained his form and did not have his own shapeshifting device, but it was a big step forward for male characters to jump into the precure world, which is to disengage the yoke of gender values from society and create acceptance of identity.
"Can do anything, can be anything, encourage everyone, even in times of sadness or hesitation! Shine into the future! Yes, that's Pretty Cure! Cure Infini!"
ð ðŧ transcend dress values.
Another thing that made a lot of eye-catching to the audience was the costuming of the Little Magic Girls, whose costumes mostly focused on mobility, but were cute, bright, girlish, based on the style of Little Magic Girls, such as Little Witch Doremi, Sakura, Tarot Buster or Pretty Kyo, but Sailor Moon had the opposite image. They came in sexy sailor costumes that showed off their soft legs, but they didn't allow men or anyone to harass easily, and they weren't male sex therapists, showing that they were strong, transforming and fighting brilliantly. Great, whose dress in miniskirt was contrary to the dress values of Japanese women of the era, costumed dresses counted as an anesthesia of the release of Japanese society to allow women to dress as they wanted, express themselves through clothes, and move through the values that society framed for women.
ðĨ° can be yourself freely.
Society in Japan has to live as a stereotype, not out of the box, allowing characters in the anime type Little Magic Girl to try to hide their own secrets in order to be able to coexist and be accepted by society, and the residence in the hypothetical world is the land of origin, the power of the Little Magic Girl in each story, and there will come out characters from the hypothetical world, qualified girls will be recruited as magic little girls in the real world to subdue villains, and once transformed, the characters can be themselves freely without being pressed by society. If Japanese society gives more opportunities for people to be themselves, maybe Japan will be very driven and developed from the point of being. Because other environmental factors are ready for almost everything, especially the quality of human resources. It's important that we all have enough potential to get up and do something. Little magic can represent adolescents in a society that wants to reveal their true identity and live with authenticity and goals.
