Pretear gave us magical girl fashion, reverse harem host club boys, sentai warrior combat scenarios, Snow White subtext, Cinderella themes, Captain Planet premise AND a tomboy MC x brooding protector romance. SO REAL 😤👏🏾

So I had to do this tribute all the way for my nostalgia series. 🫡

Felt like making something with a rainbow lead pencil again, and White Pretear seemed like a pretty good subject for this

Diamonds, Toads, and Dark Magical Girls

According to Bill Ellis in "The Fairy-Telling Craft of Princess Tutu: Meta-Commentary and the Folkloresque," the fairy tale of Cinderella can be seen as one of the earliest examples of the transformation sequences/henshin seen in magical girl anime, particularly in how the title character is given items that help her achieve a goal, usually given to her by a magical being (her mother's spirit in a tree, a fairy godmother, etc.).

Thinking again about the connection between magical girls and fairy tales--even if they aren't as meta as Tutu, many magical girls do use imagery and ideas from European fairy tales (Sailor Moon alone has references to Hans Christian Andersen and Charles Perrault)--I wondered what other character types from the genre may have some precedent in fairy tales. Then I started thinking about the Dark Magical Girl character.

Not every magical girl story has a Dark Magical Girl, but they do crop up in a lot of works. To name a few, there's Fate Testarossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Rue/Kraehe from Princess Tutu, and countless others that would be too numerous to name. In general they tend to be more cynical, darker counterparts to the main protagonists, who tend to come from relatively more stable environments. Whatever magic they possess also may be more sinister, at least initially.

Tying in somewhat to the story of Cinderella is the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index fairy tale type "The Kind and Unkind Girls" (ATU 480). Many of the stories of this type involve a rivalry between two stepsisters, one being favored by the stepmother due to being the latter's biological daughter. The general idea in most versions of the tale is that both girls encounter a magical being at separate points in time. The kind girl helps the magical being in some way, at which point the magical being gives her a magical ability or magical presents. Meanwhile, the unkind girl refuses to help the magical being and is cursed in some fashion, or, worse, killed. The kind girl meanwhile usually ends up marrying a prince, or a similar character. One of the more popular versions of this story, "Diamonds and Toads," has the kind girl gain the ability to have a jewel or flower fall from her mouth when she speaks, while the unkind girl is cursed to have toads and snakes fall from hers. And while the kind girl does marry a prince, the unkind one is kicked out of her house and dies alone in the woods. (Insert something about Revolutionary Girl Utena's comment about how a girl who cannot become a princess is doomed to be a witch.)

Typically in these fairy tales, the unkind girl is never shown to be a real threat to the kind one; the ultimate threat is the stepmother, who uses her daughter as a means to an end. In contrast, Dark Magical Girls tend to have, well, magic that helps them attack the magical girl protagonist. In this regard, they're the Heavy in the plot, while the witch/mother-like figure/real enemy waits in the background (as is the case in a lot of magical girl shows--the Raven and Rue, Precia and Fate, Fine and Chris in Symphogear etc.). Sometimes the Dark Magical Girl will be a major threat, though--like the Princess of Disaster in Pretear (who is loosely-inspired by the Evil Queen in Snow White).

In The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales (1976), Bruno Bettelheim argues that the stepmother as a character is a way for children to process the negative traits of their own mothers, while still idealizing the good qualities of them. With that in mind, the unkind sister and the Dark Magical Girl can be viewed as a way of processing/externalizing the negative traits that a girl can have, being cruel, rebellious, and uncaring. They also embody their fears, too--the fear of being alone, rejected, and doomed to fail.

Of course, nowadays, Dark Magical Girls have a tendency to be redeemed and reconcile with/befriend the main magical girl, something the kind and unkind girls never seem to do in the fairy tales. Maybe it's just emblematic of society deciding that killing a girl off for being a little rude is a bit unfair. She's just a kid trying to find her place in the world, too, after all.

Saw a tweet saying that Pretear was a reverse harem.

Pretear.

For those that don't know, Pretear is a magical girl series. It's a bit unique in the fact that the magical girl transformation only happens when the female MC, Himeno, combines together with one of the male Leafe Knights (the series is also very loosely based off of Snow White, with the Leafe Knights basically being the Seven Dwarfs).

Anyway, here are all the male characters in Pretear:

Himeno's Dad who is madly in love with his new wife and is the MC's literal dad, so, you know:

Mr. Tanaka, the chauffeur, who still holds a flame for Himeno's new step-mother:

Three literal child characters (all of whom Himeno treats more like little brothers, and she interacts more like a motherly figure for the littlest one, who is a literal toddler) :

Kei, who is absolutely queer and is definitely not straight, like, please:

Sasame who is nice to Himeno, but has his own love interest and is more important for Mawata, who definitely has a crush on him:

Go, he is the mandatory pervert character (though, thankfully, this aspect of his character didn't show up too much, still gross). That being said he never hits on Himeno and honestly doesn't even interact with her all that much (like, there were barely any images of him in the quick Google search I just did):

Hayate, he is literally the only male character in the series that has overtly romantic interactions with Himeno and is very clearly her designated love interest:

How does someone watch the show in full and think it's a reverse harem? Like...I just don't get it. Male characters talking to, interacting with, and having bonds with the female character doesn't automatically equate to romantic feelings and therefore a harem (especially when three of those male characters are literal children). The above also applies to Furuba, btw. People still view that series as a reverse harem too, which is just...???

#Pretear #anime #ppl need to learn what a harem anime actually is ffs #especially what a reverse harem is #because Pretear isn't one of them #neither is Fruits Basket #my goodness #female characters can interact with male characters #without those interactions being inherently romantic #long post #image heavy post #spoilers for Pretear

How would you like it if there was a Fairytale Mahou Shoujo?

I would very much like it, at least if they did something with the premise, like give the characters plotlines that reference the fairy tales they're based on.

Fairy tales are a topic that's at least been used a lot, but not quite in the way I'd really want (I'm hoping for something like Ever After High). I'm currently watching Smile Precure which has a fairytale theme, but I don't have high hopes on exploring them in a particularly deep way. I also hear Märchen Mädchen is based on fairytales but also that it was really bad. And Pretear is based on the Snow White, which to my embarrassment I didn't realise until it was over even though it's literally in the title... At least Princess Tutu is there to do more with this idea than the rest put together but it mostly sticks to Ugly Duckling (and Swan Lake) for the heroines, while I'm looking a magical girl team with everyone heavily leaning on different fairy tales in their design and story.

A old magical girl show that need a reboot is pretear. While short, it was amazing but a reboot could fix some issues such as the age gap between Himeno and Hayate. Also show Himeno bully more at school and see more of her transformation with the knights that we didn’t get to see in the show too often . However, I’m just worry about Kei’s skin being lighten.

Never watched Pretear, I just heard some unsettling stuff and questionable imageries about it, but it pretty much faded away in my brain.

All that I know about it, is that it had a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves theme to it, so I wish it would ditch the Reverse Harem route and replace it with a Found Family one, and BOOM, you would have a proper feminist reboot of Snow White that isn't condensending or disrespectful to its legacy, that carries a powerful message about the relationships one cultivates.
