Since "Stars Over Flowers", idol-themed works have reached a heyday and have become an indispensable part of today's animation themes. At present, there are a number of companies including "Idol Event! "Wonderful Paradise", "Teenage Hollywood" and "Ordinary High School Girls Want to Be Local Idols" and other works have sparked countless discussions. Especially in "Ordinary High School Girls Want to Be Local Idols", Yui Mitsuki, one of the protagonists, wears a puppet costume called "Yuxin-kun" everywhere, and Yuxin-kun has also become one of the symbols of this work. In fact, the Muppet costume also plays a very important role in anime works. Recently, some Japanese media interpreted this and selected "the most representative puppet works." ”

Mobile Battleship

This work tells the story of the future world where humans set foot on Mars. However, Utopiacolony on Mars has been attacked by the enigmatic enemy, the Jupiter lizard. In the midst of the arduous battle, the non-governmental organization Nilugaru Heavy Industries used the latest technology to build a new type of battleship, the NADESICO, to compete with the enemy. THE CREW OF THE NADESICO IS ALSO THE BEST AT WIELDING THE SHIP'S MIGHT, BUT THEY OFTEN HAVE SOME QUIRKY TRAITS. Therefore, in the context of the hard war, some daily clips are also hilarious.

Although there is no such common puppet character in this work, it is in the small column that explains proper nouns·" NADESICO's 100,000 Whys", Captain Yurika appeared in a bunny puppet costume. And she gives some simple and easy-to-understand explanations as a rabbit with Ruri Hoshino, who is the big sister. The puppet character can be said to be a being who is not in the same dimension as ordinary people. And the surrealism of this small column is also very consistent with the characteristics of the puppet costume.

Lingyin

Reine Iwakura is an introverted junior high school student. And one day, she received a letter from a classmate who was supposed to have committed suicide. In order to pursue the mystery, Suzune received the communication computer network terminal "NAVI" from her father, and since then she has been connected to the imaginary world online. After that, some strange things began to appear around Suzune. It should be said that this work, which was born before the popularization of the Internet, shows the audience the horror and possibilities of the Internet through the wonderful images. It's a classic. Lingyin, on the other hand, explores other themes that often appear in cyberpunk works, such as gods, the collective unconscious, the Internet, conspiracy theories, and solipsism. Lovers of this work generally agree that this is a typical literary anime. In addition, the performances of Kari Shimizu, Hasamizu Prize, Ryunosuke Obayashi, Rei Igarashi, Ayako Kawasumi, Hako Asada and others brought a rare auditory feast to the audience.

The heroine of this work, Reine Iwakura, is wearing bear puppet pajamas. Although this work has a strong sense of sternness and horror, Suzune and other characters in this costume are delicately depicted, and the performance effect also reflects the cuteness of the girls. Suzune is a girl who can't find a place even at home. And in order to combat this mood, she put on this outfit, as if it were regarded as armor. It can be said that Tong Guò's work also proves that the puppet costume is a kind of existence that transcends the human body. The direction for the future has been decided, right?

"Idol Master XENOGLOSSIA"

Haruka Amami came to Tokyo in order to become an idol. In reality, however, she became a pilot in an "iDOL" (giant machine qì man) to face a meteorite that struck Earth. This work is based on the original game "Idol Master", and it has been boldly adapted, integrating the three genres of funny animation, machine qì animation, and idol animation. It is talked about by the audience to this day.

Since this work, Muppet characters have frequently appeared in anime works. Yayoi Takatsuki in this work is a character who often wears puppet costumes, and it can be said that he is one of the pioneers in this regard. She is a good friend of Haruka's, and she is also an idol predecessor who took the lead in launching acting activities in Tokyo. However, although she has high ideals, she always wears various puppet costumes when she works. From the perspective of the setting of "puppet idol", she can be regarded as the closest role to Yuyi's predecessors in "Ordinary Female High School Students Want to Be Local Idols". Yui-senpai is a perfect person except for being nervous when he shows his face. And it is Nanako's goal and idol. In "Ringtone", the puppet costume symbolizes "the existence of extraordinary people", which is certainly used by "Ordinary Female High School Students Want to Be Local Idols", but the latter is the same

"IDOL MASTER XENOGLOSSIA" IS EVEN MORE CLOSELY RELATED. After all, in a sense, Takatsuki Yayoi is also a perfect character. Although she is reckless and arbitrary, she has unfathomable kindness. Without knowing the origin of Haruka, she still supports each other and guides the heroine to grow.

The Knight of Sidneya

A mysterious enemy called "Kijuko" launched an attack, and in the future of humanity, the solar system was destroyed. In order to preserve the fire, humans sent huge spaceships and seeding ships. And in a sowing ship, the protagonist Gu Feng Changdao became a manipulator trainee of the huge humanoid weapon "Guardian", and was tasked with fighting Qi Juzi.

This work is based on the manga that Japanese manga artist Tsutomu Niva has been serializing in the manga magazine "Monthly Afternoon" since 2009, and also uses the production technology of full 3DCG. In terms of design, it can be said that it is clearly different from other works, and the theme of SF has attracted a lot of attention. And in this work, the character who wears the puppet costume is the housekeeper Bishanlala. Bisan Lala looks like a puppet made from a real bear, but in fact the bear's fur is her life-support device. Although she is a gentle guardian of Nagado and others, she is also a member of Sidnia's management, the Undead Crew Association. It should be said that this is also one of the Muppet costume characters that must not be missed. In addition, although I have always emphasized that this is just a puppet costume, she has never taken off this dress in front of Nagado and them, and almost all of her works are shown in the form of bears. In this sense, Bishan Lala should also be a milestone figure standing on the stage of the puppet role.

In addition, there are also a large number of anime works such as "Iron Bride", "Hanamaru Kindergarten", "Homecoming Department Activity Record", "Manga Research Department" and a large number of anime works in which the characters of the puppet costume appear, which also makes the puppet costume a very common kind of existence. In addition, in the work "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park" in October, we will see the important role of the puppet mascot, which is worth looking forward to.
