Anime & Manga + Fairy Tales
So for WisCon, I'm going to be on this panel about fairy tales in shoujo manga & anime.
In an effort to not give into the feelings of, "OMG I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE ON PANELS, I SHOULD TAKE MYSELF OFF IMMEDIATELY," I'm trying to prepare instead!
Here is the description of the panel:
Some works of shoujo anime or manga (works which are marketed to females 10 to 18 years old) incorporate fairy tales. What are your favorite anime or manga that use fairy tales, either Western or Japanese? Which ones take fairy tales and play with them to achieve narrative brilliance? Works such as Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, and Natsume Yujin-cho may be considered.
So, I'm familiar with Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, & Pretear.
If you have suggestions about other anime & manga series, I am interested! Especially in ones based on/deconstructing non-Western fairy tales & tropes.
