Talking Tropes 69: Mahou Shoujo, a History of Transformation
With special guest Sarah, we deconstruct the Magical Girl genre of anime and manga, briefly recapping the history and evolution of tropes and analyzing the role it has played in changing perceptions of gender and femininity over the years. Do Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura commodify the female body or do they empower young girls to embrace their inner strength of character?
