Blue Huge fan of Madoka Magica but had never heard of this book before. I decided the price was worth the gamble and it so was, really a fascinating analysis that is sure to shed some light on some of the more vague parts of the series and movie. Even if the book doesn't tell you anything you didn't know already, which I find hard to believe, it's still a very entertaining read for any fans of Madoka.

That one can argue that 'Madoka' and 'The Nutcracker' have anything in common, let alone a lot in common, and then do so convincingly is impressive. Blue does a fine job of laying out and supporting his critiques in an easily understood and readable way.

    Introduction In a world of seemingly endless negativity, there is one girl still holding out for a happy ending. In fact, she’s actively trying to create that happy ending with everything she’s got! Homura Akemi has gone through countless cycles of time to save her best friend Madoka Kaname, but she never succeeds. This failure will no doubt drive her mad in the end… but that is not the story of this Homura. For some strange reason, Homura’s ability to turn back time has started to insert her into stranger and stranger parallel worlds called Time Flows. These Time Flows can have relatively mundane differences from the original, like a world where everyone is oddly more spaced out, or could be ludicrously different, like a world that has a bar for the different Homuras of the multiverse! You enter into this odd multiverse just as the 38th most powerful Homura, Tamura, enters into the “Spaced-Out” Time Flow. Location (Roll 1d8 or spend 50 cp to choose) Akemi-Ya (1) ​ The bar and restaurant made for and by Homuras. It’s a place for the Homuras of the multiverse to relax from their constant failures to save Madoka… and from the increasingly odd Time Flows. It has an incredibly jovial atmosphere and the people there do not take kindly to people intentionally ruining that atmosphere. You’ll no doubt run into a whole host of characters here, but you will assuredly meet Bar Homura and Professor Homura! “Spaced-Out” Time Flow (2) ​ The first odd time flow that Tamura will find herself placed in.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Between Asian Girls Minor
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Between Asian Girls Minor Feminisms and Sideways Critique A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sharon N. Tran 2017 © Copyright by Sharon N. Tran 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Between Asian Girls Minor Feminisms and Sideways Critique by Sharon N. Tran Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Rachel C. Lee, Chair This dissertation expands existing accounts of the history of Asian racialization in the United States by examining the various discursive, symbolic, and affective economies through which the “Asian girl” has been trafficked. I mobilize the “Asian girl” as a critical framework for attending to an especially vulnerable, young female population and girlification as a particular mode of racialization. I examine the Asian girl queered by militarization, the kawaii (cute) Asian girl, the cybernetic/transgenic Asian girl, and the feral Asian girl as critical sites for seriously grappling with material conditions of political constraint and dependency. The project identifies girlish vulnerability as a structure of disavowal/contempt in a historically masculinist minoritarian politics that emphasizes autonomy, sovereignty, and militant resistance and takes forms of vulnerability as a basis theorizing an alternative affective politics. My research draws on the works of Asian/American novelists, poets, and visual artists for how they (re)imagine Asian girls in lateral associations of compoundedness, eroticism, and nascent political solidarity. ii As the title, “Between Asian Girls,” suggests, this dissertation seeks to recuperate theorizations of female homosociality, famously dismissed by Eve Sedgwick, as overly “intelligible”—thereby too facile for investigation—and at the same time, as politically illegible.

  • Negotiating Magical Space and Identity in Puella Magi Madoka Magica
    humanities Article Becoming the Labyrinth: Negotiating Magical Space and Identity in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Sara Cleto * and Erin Kathleen Bahl Department of English, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-404-808-8407 Academic Editor: Claudia Schwabe Received: 2 March 2016; Accepted: 30 March 2016; Published: 6 April 2016 Abstract: In the magical girl anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, middle-school girls receive the power and responsibility to fight witches in exchange for making a wish. The series has connections to many different genres and narrative traditions within the realm of folkloristics. However, the folkloric genre most relevant to the ethos and aesthetics of Madoka is that of the fairy tale. Drawing on Bill Ellis’s concept of “fairy-telling” and scholarship on new media composition, in this paper we seek to investigate labyrinths as acts of embodied composing—not lairs of evil or destruction but rather creative material memory work that negotiates grief and despair. Many of the series’ action sequences unfold in “labyrinths,” the magical spaces controlled by witches. By composing a labyrinth, witches can simultaneously reshape their environment and create a powerful statement about identity through personalized performance in narrative spaces that they control. In particular, we argue that both the frameworks of “fairy tale” and “new media” give us useful analytical resources for beginning to make sense of the intricately complex phenomenon of Madoka’s labyrinths. Keywords: fairy tale; new media; anime; magical girl; labyrinth; Madoka 1. Introduction In the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica [1] (hereafter Madoka), a granted wish marks not a happily-ever-after ending but rather a complicated beginning.

  • Puella Magi Madoka Magica(2011)
    Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011): El renacimiento de la magical girl. La reconstrucción de un género a través del monomito. Carlos Álvarez Barroso Tutora: María del Mar Rubio-Hernández Máster en Comunicación y Cultura Septiembre, 2020. Notas sobre el idioma. Los términos japoneses recogidos en el presente documento siguen el sistema Hepburn para su transcripción en cursiva. Esto conlleva que las vocales largas se indicarán mediante una macrón en el caso de o y u, y con doble vocal en el caso de a, e, i. Las palabras japonesas no sufren ninguna modificación en plural. En el caso del término manga (recogido recientemente por el DRAE), no se sigue dicha convención, y se ha optado por un plural que se adapte a las reglas ortográficas españolas: un manga/unos mangas; el manga/los mangas. De igual forma, los términos japoneses que nombran los géneros del manga irán seguidos a la palabra manga. Apareciendo, por ejemplo, “manga shōnen” y no “shōnen manga”. Con respecto a los nombres de autores de manga que aparecen en este estudio, se seguirá el orden de nombre y apellidos occidental (nombre de pila primero y apellido después), puesto que así se dieron a conocer en España cuando sus obras fueron publicadas para nuestro mercado. Por otro lado, los autores procedentes de publicaciones científicas serán citados de acuerdo con la representación de sus nombres en el documento de pertenencia.

  • Magic in Japanese Popular Culture
    Balser 1 Magic in Japanese Popular Culture Hannah M. Balser University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Balser 2 Abstract This thesis examines the depiction of magic in Japanese popular media in order to find out how certain forms of popular media reflect societal views regarding national identity, youth, and gender. Through this examination, I aim to explain the context surrounding the cultural ideas being exported through Japanese popular media and their global influence. Various primary sources of Japanese popular media were analyzed, namely anime, manga and light novels. These works were analyzed under the theoretical frameworks provided by a number of anthropologists and Japanese popular culture scholars. By combining the disciplines of pop culture studies and anthropology, this analysis of magical Japanese popular media examines not only what the kinds of cultural messages are being expressed through magic in popular media, but who benefits from the popularity of magical power fantasies, and what effects these messages and fantasies have on Japanese society. Keywords: Japan, magic, pop culture, anime, manga, fantasy, youth, gender, identity Balser 3 Introduction A redheaded girl of 15 sits beside a still pond, nearly done with carving a long wooden staff. She turns to a man with long fair hair and deceptively youthful looks, the thousands of years old protector of the land of the dragons. He takes the staff and combines them with two jewels and a large amount of the girl’s hair. The girl, Chise, thanks the man, and tells him that she must be off, because there’s something she needs to tell her master Elias.
