Although "Magical Girl's Little Round Face" is interpreted by some as a story of women's revolution, Xu Yuanjie sees another story.

In a short 12-episode animation, people can feel the tragic view of the pre-Socratic school and can experience the admiration for humanism and the criticism of blind reason, "Magical Girl Little Round Face" can be regarded as the interpretation and interpretation of "Faust" in the way of a girl's anime.

At the beginning, Xu Yuanjie thought that it would be his most admired emotional masterpiece "School-Days", with a completely extinct ending, but his expectations did not appear - now when he looks back at his original guess, he suddenly realizes that he is so superficial, and this ending is deeper than his guess!

This seemingly healing ending is aesthetically similar to the Ragnarok-style ruin, the so-called "tragedy is the destruction of the valuable things in life to show people", and the strength and appeal of the tragedy come from this ruin, from the audience's pity for the characters in the play and the fear of the fickle fate.

The protagonist has a noble character and an indomitable spirit, but he always encounters defeat in the struggle against fate - so the tragedy has two directions: either the human dignity and humanity are manifested in the failure and ruin, or the metaphysical solace is finally obtained. But what they have in common is that although life is short, the destruction of phenomena (the body) does not affect the eternity of the will (spirit).

"Magical Girl Little Round Face" is the latter type, the little round face sacrifices herself, and it is a sacrifice that completely erases the traces of a qiē zài, and makes a wish to change the rules of magical girls and no longer degenerate into a witch. This revision does not interfere with the essence of the "laws of the universe". Magical girls still have to fight. will suffer mistakes. Betrayal, tribulation, and sacrifice are just the despair that Madoka will descend on her deathbed and take away their despair, and lead their heroic spirits back to heaven like Valkyrie, the Valkyrie of Norse mythology.

Isn't "believing that a magical girl with a small round face will not fall after death" and "believing in God/Allah/Buddha not going to hell after death"? are both metaphysical consolations with idealistic and religious overtones, without direct interference with the real world.

Isn't there any point in the solace of idealism?

Xu Yuanjie feels that on the contrary, what the whole play wants to express is a kind of criticism of rationalism.

What is QB?

It is the devil Mephisto in Faust, but the difference is that Mephisto is a symbol of primitive desire, because Faust, written in the Renaissance era, advocates knowledge and reason to guide human beings to overcome the limitations of lowly desires, while Madoka is created in the modern era with highly developed technology and information. The indifferent and numb mechanical reason has oversuppressed human nature in the social mentality.

In the anime, QB is a symbol of "absolute rationality" - excluding the emotional factor, the theory and logic are so tight that even magical girls who know the truth can't argue.

However, it has to draw energy from human feelings, and it is the devil who lures magical girls into the abyss - reason frees human beings from the ignorance of animals, promotes the development of human civilization, and gradually leads human civilization to the abyss. The knowledge and mind of the girls cannot comprehend the complex theory of the universe, and they only have simple and kind emotions.

It can be seen that there is a contest between the magical girl and QB between feelings and absolute reason.

The idealistic solace in the ending, and the theme of the little round face becoming a god at the end, "If others say that it is wrong to have hope, no matter how many times I will definitely deny this sentence", are all critics of "blind worship of reason".

Confronting irreconcilable contradictions in dramatic conflicts. Most viewers want to settle within the rules, and some hope to take regret medicine and rely on "ifs" to get comfort. Even fewer thought of breaking the rules.

For example, the romance of ancient Chinese novels pinned the hopes of society on "Qing officials, Ming monarchs and chivalrous people", and there was no idea of shaking the foundation of the social system.

How did this mindset of unconditional obedience to rules come about?

It is the innumerable knowledge and concepts of a person's growth that are solidified in the mind in a rational way, and the more rational a person's thinking becomes, the farther away from romance, and the more resistant it is to the god-like deduction that subverts the rules - because the subconscious has already tacitly acquiesced to "how can such a miracle happen".

Most viewers hate QB, but they unconsciously abide by QB's rules and logical thinking. QB's absolutely rational attitude of rejecting a qiē emotional outpouring is prevalent in life, "I am numb and I am proud, I am proud if I have no feelings", equating the erasure of feelings with maturity, experience and wisdom, and has become a mask for countless people to maintain their self-esteem.

Human beings progress because of reason but also imprisoned by the despair brought by reason, the little round face of the wish is not for the distortion of the absurd selfishness, nor does it stay in the labyrinth of QB's rules; after witnessing the fate of the friends around her, Madoka's fraternity has made her perspective and mind reach a height that all other magical girls have not reached, and has not only surpassed the innocence of other magical girls, but also surpassed the absolute rationality of QB - divinity!

What is divinity?

Look at Jesus: He said to love your enemies and bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who abuse you and those who persecute you. Jesus was born into the Jews ruled by the Romans, but he wanted to save not only the Jews but also the Romans, helping countless people without asking for anything in return, praying for those who betrayed him even when he endured the suffering of the world on the cross, and he had no hatred in his heart, only compassion and selfless sacrifice for the world.

Love everyone, pity not only the magical girl but also the witch, when you see her make a wish to bear the despair and curse of a universe for all magical girls in the past and future, and destroy her witch-like self, do you think of Jesus who endured the suffering for the world on the cross?

After his death, Jesus rose to heaven and ascended to heaven, and Madoka died and became a higher level of existence in the universe.

QB is right, Madoka makes a wish to subvert the rules, making her ascend to the gods the moment she makes her wish. The magical girl spreads hope, and Madoka becomes the hope of the magical girl, and the light of her divinity shines on every magical girl.

It also infects every believer of the Round-faced God Cult - Xu Yuanjie has now completely become a faithful believer of the Circle God, and he wants to become a "magical girl" (the author of the story of the creation of Zào) and spread the hope of the "love" of the Circle God to every corner of the world!

Before that, he had to learn from the porter teacher first, and every work of the porter teacher had something amazing that needed to be carefully comprehended to fully master. He had to deeply comprehend the spiritual thoughts of his teacher in order to more accurately convey to the world the "love" of the god of the circle that he believed in.

The shadow of "Magical Girl Little Round Face" is everywhere, and even in the stock market news, where it can't be compared with animation, there is even content about "Magical Girl Little Round Face".

"For a retail investor like Lan Mao (Saya) who is new to the stock market, the gorgeous performance and noble ideals of the senior sister look so flawless, so the whole net worth directly chased the high position of the senior sister stocks, but I didn't expect that it would be delisted directly just after the delivery. Blue Fur couldn't help but shed tears of pain: "Only Sister Asami is different" (yes, how can there be a chance not to even give a chance to cut meat? ”

"Red hair (apricot) should be regarded as the oldest qualified shareholder in the play, so at first sneered at the blue hair stock, but I didn't expect the church to have a heart-to-heart relationship, I felt that the blue hair stock has great potential, and predicted that it was already the bottom of the medium term at this time, so I decisively used all the funds to buy the bottom, who knew that it was empty-handed to catch the flying knife, copy the bottom to the halfway up the mountain, and then the blue hair stock went all the way down, ST, until the suspension; When it came time to suspend trading, he finally got anxious, and found Xiao Yuan, who usually doesn't look down on it, and asked for a bailout, and Xiao Yuan asked if he could still save it? ”

"The blue-haired self-abandonment, the red-haired self-destruction, in fact, are related to the desperate situation they are facing, I believe that most of the shareholders who have such an experience should be able to empathize with the pain, watching them for so long, can't you understand their pain?

"Now it seems that Madoka is still holding it steadily, with the most sufficient capital flow in her hands, and her personality is a little hesitant, but after seeing this cannibalistic stock market, will she still enter the market?"

"Now that I think about it, the master porter should not be the banker, but the QB is the banker. The master porter is the Securities and Futures Commission, and it is dark. ”

In fact, the red hair is still quite conscientious, and when he asked Xiao Yuan to save the market, Xiao Yuan asked if he should also enter the market, and the red hair decisively refused. She just wants to use Madoka to create the illusion of big money intervening (according to a certain expert QB who claims not to lie: Madoka's money is big enough to change the rules of the stock market). ”

"It's a pity that the China Securities Regulatory Commission didn't accept this set, and didn't even give the opportunity to restructure, so it still let Lanmao delist. QB is not just a trader, but a big bookmaker who can set and interpret the rules. The background is the Securities and Futures Commission. ”

"'The stock market is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market. 'The stock market with a small round face is not as good as a casino.' 'The second master is the banker, and the retail investors only have the dead and the dead. 'Wake up, everybody. ”

A group of idle stockholders are seriously discussing the issue of the "small round-faced stock market" in stock market news and forums.

This is just the corner of "Magical Girl Little Round Face", although the Round Face Cult has just been established in this world, but there are already more and more believers from all walks of life who have rubbed into the arms of the round god. (To be continued......)
