#encantadia 2016

[iris-sistibly]

I've been rewatching encantadia 2016 lately and this has been bugging me lately... This is about Lira's prophecy... First, is that she will bring encantadia to an era of peace and prosperity (hence "ang tagapagligtas ng encantadia".) And the second part which is "Her brother is the one "destined (itinakdang) to kill her. There are a lot of episodes that this was pointed out by both Cassiopeia and Ether. Like that episode when Ether was wiping everybody's memories of her because she was preparing her for the "person" that was meant to end her... This plot hole is still bugging me after all these years. What are your thoughts? Since Sanggre is now in the works, I wonder if they still can remember this... Because honestly, Lira was instrumental in bringing the sisters together but, watching closely, i think they would've still gotten back together with or without her...

For me, I think the reason why Lira didn't get to do much about her mission to reunite the Sang'gres and be the bringer of peace in the first half of the 2016 version (unlike its original counterpart), was that they were focused too much on the love triangle between Amihan, Ybrahim and Alena.

When Ether wiped out everyone's memory of Lira, I thought she'd use the opportunity to get closer to Pirena or...at least Alena and find ways to bring all four of them together. While I understand how desperate she was to make her family especially her parents remember her once more, I was kinda disappointed that she didn't think of her situation as a way to do what she's supposed to do.

As for the Sang'gres reuniting once more, I do agree that even without Lira, the sisters could have sorted things out and rebuilt their relationship on their own. They only needed time: for Alena to heal, for Pirena to be humbled, and for Danaya to soften up. Amihan never held grudges against her sisters despite all the pain she and her siblings went through, she waited for them and when the time came she welcomed them with open arms. Lira barely had anything to do with it.

Even in the war against Hagorn and the Hadezars, she really didn't do anything unlike the 2005 version when Lira didn't only succeed in reuniting the Sang'gres, she was the reason why other engkantados gained the courage to fight beside them.

Amihan ended up doing her daughter's mission, she was the real tagapagligtas and the bringer of peace (to be fair, Cassiopeia prophesized that Amihan was one of the leaders who will bring Hathoria down in one of the episodes).

When Amihan died in the second half of the show I was really hoping for a character development for her and Mira but alas, the screen writers killed her once more, then brought her back to life, then put her in a coma, and then brought her back at the finale.

Lira was one of my favourite characters in the original Encantadia saga but the 2016 version did her dirty.

As for Kahlil, he was just born to be a mere tool for everyone to use. I never liked how sad and tragic his story was even in the original and I was hoping for him to play a huge role at least in the second half of the show, but it never happened.

These siblings had so much potential, but they just wasted them which still makes me upset until now.

Sang're: Encantadia Chronicles

With the news of an upcoming sequel to Encantadia in production, I couldn't help myself but revisit one of my favourite Filipino fantasy show ever produced. I watched all 218 episodes of the requel in a week and started re-watching the 2005 as well.

Growing up I remember trying to convince my mom to let me stay up late enough to watch the show and it was such a big part of my childhood. My sister, our neighbours, and I would pretend to be one of the sang're and try to reenact the show. From their fight scenes to their drama scenes, we did it all. I tuned in until the very last episode of the original version and even tried to learn the language because that's how drawn in I was with the world-building and fantasy aspect of the show.

Fast forward to 2016, I'm well into post-secondary and live outside the Philippines. When I heard about the requel, I made sure that we had GMA Pinoy TV and all the episodes were recorded. That way I didn't miss any episodes. Now, to be honest, I wasn't a fan of 2016 at first. I was very critical of some of the casting, the CGI work, and even the world-building. It felt familiar but not. I missed the mystical aspect of the show and I missed that I was able to suspend my disbelief for 30 minutes to escape to this enchanted place. I didn't get that escape from the 2016 version because it didn't feel magical enough for me. However, over time, I learned to enjoy the show because of its storytelling. I was invested in the characters and what was happening to them which led me to fall in love with Amihan and Ybrahim's romance in this version. I enjoyed the sisters' bond here and wish we saw more of it in the show. I liked how each Sang're got a chance to meet their father and we, the viewers, got to know each of them.

There were a lot of positives from the 2016 version which is why I feel sad that "season 2" of Encantadia will be focusing on a different generation. I understand that Pirena, Amihan, Alena, and Danaya have been the 4 iconic sangres for almost 20 years and it's time for new characters to succeed them. Unfortunately, I feel that the 2016 version had more stories to offer and the Sang'res had more adventures and stories to explore. Especially with the death of Amihan, there were storylines that were abandoned to accommodate Kylie's departure. I just hope that the fans get a proper closure for these 4 Sang'res and aren't left with an opening ending. Kinda like how Encantadia 2005 concluded. Arman, on the back of a dragon, narrates the story of the 4 Sang'res and properly transitions the audience to the new protectors with him, Armea and Cassandra. 2005 gave the audience a definitive conclusion to the main 4 while setting up a potential sequel. This is something 2016 tried to do but left viewers with more questions since they introduced Cassiopea's twin and set up 4 diwanis running on the beach.

Don't get me wrong, I like the actors that are playing the new Sang'res but I do hope this sequel will be a bridge to continue the original 4 stories until its creator can give those characters a proper send off. Also, I would love to see Danaya as a mother and give Pirena and Alena a chance to have children again. Additionally, it'd be nice to see the growth in Lira and Mira. Lastly, I would love to see Amihan reunite with her sisters and get the happy ending that her parents didn't have the privilege of having.

That being said, I am beyond excited to watch this show and hope that we get book 3 and book 4 like what the creator and writers have shared.

In 2012, my boss pitched creating a live-action version of Voltes V. She was told that it wouldn't fly because it would be effects-heavy, and the Filipino audience weren't into sci-fi stories. Not anymore.

In 2016, in the midst of writing for the Encantadia reboot/sequel, our director shared that he pitched a Voltes V movie to the bosses. He showed us a demo reel of what he and the effects company he was working with could do. I joked that it wasn't gonna fly. Because my boss already pitched it before, and she was shot down. But my boss, head writer and creator of Encantadia, said they could try to pitch it again.

Near the end of 2016, I was given the task to collect everything I could about Voltes V: episode guides, bestiaries, character sketches--everything. I trawled through ebay and bought the VCD set of what was aired in the Philippines back in the 70s. I even ended up with a vinyl record of the show's closing credit song from back then.

Before we finished writing for Encantadia, we were given the go signal to start pre-production on Voltes V. We didn't have approval from TOEI yet, but the rights holder here in the Philippines were confident that they would be cooperative. We just had to treat the material right.

In 2017, I had one of my biggest anxiety attacks. Followed by another. I let go of my projects, but I was told to keep working on Voltes V. We got our green light from our higher ups in 2018, but we still needed to get the approval of TOEI. And in between writing letters to TOEI, creating story maps, breaking down the character development from what the original material gave us--I was also given the task of writing the pilot script.

We got approval from TOEI in late 2019 or early 2020. Right before the pandemic. By then, we already had the story map plotted out, and the character beats figured into how the story would unfold. We cherry-picked the monsters that would come out in the series, keeping in mind that what's cheap for animation to do isn't cheap for the live-action version. So each monster we would use needs to have an impact on the story--and more importantly: the characters.

And then we went back to the pilot script.

I don't know what my higher-ups were looking for, but I wasn't bringing whatever it was apparently. Mixed in with my growing depression and the anxiety attacks that kept rearing its head in--I was second-guessing everything I was doing.

During this time, I was also part of another show that was already airing. Someone missed the script deadline, and while my boss was reminding me to send whatever draft of the Voltes V pilot script I was on at the time--our program manager thought I was the cause of delay for our airing show. I got an official memo, telling me I needed to shape up or face consequences.

This was in the middle of one of my bouts of depression.

I accepted the memo. My boss corrected our program manager, defending me. But it was too late. I already had the memo. And mixed in with everything going on in my personal life (which takes up around 70 to 75 percent of why I was depressed and anxious all the time), I was at my breaking point.

In 2020, the pandemic happened. Instead of reaching out, I kept myself locked away for three months from Day 1 of the initial lockdown. I didn't talk to anyone.

Month number 3 became 4. A friend found me on discord. Four became five. And six. And seven. And I never reconnected with anyone. There was a moment, late in 2020 when I thought maybe I am finally ready to go back.

And then, on my birthday in 2021, I get a visit from a high school friend who accused me of making up my anxiety and depression. Whatever strength I had mustered up went away.

It never came back.

It's 2023. Exactly two years since that fateful day when said friend went to my house to tell me I was lying about being depressed. And YouTube recommends me the trailer of the live-action Voltes V. It's finally coming out. And all I can say is...

I wish everyone who worked on it success.

I watched the trailer on mute. I think... I think it's a good thing I am no longer involved with it. But I still wish people will watch it and will like it.

And the long-short of it is... I think the trailer cemented for me the idea that I don't want any more birthdays to come after today.

Encantadia is a Philippine TV fantasy series that aired in 2016. Due to its nature, production design must be taken into great consideration because it plays an important role in helping set up the milieu and magical elements of the series. However, in one of its episodes, a glaring editing slip went viral on social media. A red monobloc chair was visible in one of its scenes, which was obviously out of place due to the nature and genre of the series. Encantadia producers were quick to defend, saying it was an outtake, but netizens asserted that there was an editing mistake in one of the episodes posted on GMA's YouTube account, which is now disabled for public viewing.

I just realized that Encantadia is some kind of Filipino ATLA. The fire nation/Hathoria is the one that wreaks havoc on the other 3 nations/lands. The child (Zuko/Pirena) who just wants affection and to prove themselves both start off as an antagonist, only to prove that they can still be redeemed.
