We will update this blog as soon as more information comes out. Till then, stay tuned and keep watching this space for more.To say most anime rely on a consistent set of tropes is a massive understatement.
#Spear girl from madoka magika series
#Goblin slayer spear girl seriesĪ lot of the time anime can feel like nothing but a series of copy and pastes, similar if not identical settings between 10 new shows in the same genre that look the same as 10 shows from the year before in the same genre. The same character archetypes endlessly rehashed in the same genre and possibly even entire medium, even certain poses which appear so often as to be ubiquitous. Perhaps this is why when something that feels new and fresh steps up to the plate, a lot of people are understandably excited.
It heralds an opportunity to see the medium grow in new and possibly interesting ways, for tropes to change, new tropes to arise and even for some tropes to vanish forever. Pop culture and its many critics have come to love the word subversion – generally meaning an unexpected twist on something familiar. I however find this love of subversion somewhat misguided. Don’t get me wrong I’m as happy for something new as anyone else but sadly there comes a time in your life when you become a jaded motherfucker and realize that subversion itself can become trendy and a lot of shitty shows based around subverting the tried and true formulas will arise to make a quick a buck. There will be minor spoilers for IPs mentioned in the title, you’ve been warned.
One of the best examples of this going wrong is magical girls. Madoka Magica came out and shocked the anime world. This bright, cutesy magical girl show took a sudden dark turn and everyone ate that shit up. And fair enough, I loved it too, I think it was very well made in all aspects – visually unique and impressive, the story and emotional through-lines well delivered, etc. But shortly thereafter a bunch of “dark” and “edgy” magical girl shows started coming out.
