#turns out i would be the 'no magical quest untill you've turned 18' parent who gets ignored for the sake of the story
Text
I decided to try watching a magical girl anime series as an adult, and I'm instantly sus of the ones handing out magical powers, like,
But why though? Why are you picking children, young and impressionable to do this? My brain is ringing child protection alarm bells right now
Yes! Girl, get out of there. Your body's been changed without consent, and you're being recruited for a fight you didn't ask for.
#apologies to fans of the show#my cynical adult eyes aren't what this show was written for#it's got me going is this ethical? isn't a little manipulative to take a child make them fight then make them want to join you?#i know there's that other anime i never watched that was a deconstruction of the genre that probably#already went into this but#well#i haven't watched that one yet#mew mew new#do these guys have to chose specific kids or was she just an easy target?#why not pick and adult?#perhaps i should just watch the next episode#i get that teenagers can be full of energy and passion which are traits you want in a magical fighter#and that it's a power fantasty as a kid - fighting monsters isn't something a kid who asks for sensible advice from their parents#is going to get to do if it's not put apon them in some way#but i am looking as an adult now#turns out i would be the 'no magical quest untill you've turned 18' parent who gets ignored for the sake of the story#tokyo mew mew new
