Maria the Virgin Witch – Episode 1

Maria the Virgin Witch – Episode 1. Looks like it might be worth watching this episode to get a feel for what’s to come later in the series.

I enjoy the kind of show where it touts the concept of female purity and overshadows it as virtually meaningless and used against women. That was the kind of idea that prompted me to cover Maria the Virgin Witch– I kept thinking, will this be the kind of show where they subvert the trope or make it all about her angsting over wanting to be a ‘true woman’ or I don’t know. Make virginity even more-so into this holy thing. I have seen enough anime like that, I want to see something different. This isn’t to say women aren’t allowed to cherish their virginity, but to say that with watching this I’m interested in seeing the show take on a new light of things.

On a very firm aesthetic note, Maria might as well be a female version of Howl Pendragon from Howl’s Moving Castle- at least in appearance- and it’s important you all know this pleases me.

For the major part of episode 1, the PV basically tells the entire story. Every grandiose moment or interesting development is almost entirely covered, but can you expect much more from a first episode? Normally Normally I find there is a bit more content to discover, but it was mainly the first half. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s more than it left little to the imagination even in the way of fluid animation and events. How can I complain when I was hoping for a show with that kind of feeling and it’s basically what I got in the first half?

No, it’s true indeed, the entire episode is basically summed up in the PV. I can’t honestly sum up if I like or hate it because I liked the PV enough to become interested enough to follow it. So why don’t we address what the show did do with it’s toted virginity premise?

Already, I don’t know what to think of Maria, the girl herself and the premise. When you think about virginity in the end, it’s just a number. A number women are taught to value and men are taught to discard, it’s a social construct. Today’s society views it in a certain light but not so long ago it was a matter of extreme importance to determining a woman’s ‘worth’. The show lauds that it is about sexual frustration and this can mean very bad things for the show. Are we just going to get a creepy show about fan service and objectification? … read more of this excellent article at: Angry Anime Bitches
