摘要

自2011年上映以来,这部动画系列《魔法精灵》被评论家和消费者广泛认为是一部开创性的作品。虽然当代御宅族文化通常回避宏大叙事的概念,但这并不意味着御宅族缺乏对超越的渴望,这种渴望经常被投射到一个年轻女孩身上,她无限的潜力引发了与那些喜欢虚构而不是世俗的御宅族的强烈反应。然而,《魔道》让人回想起一个更古老的超然模式。在这个系列中,通过从多个自我牺牲的化身中获得的力量,主角小圆能够从她的现实中解脱出来,进入一个天堂,在那里她的魔法女孩们可以获得绝对的和平。本文探讨了净土佛教的话语如何融入到《麻冈魔法》中,从而为宅男们提供了一个后现代的净土。

Reconstructing the Grand Narrative: The Pure Land of Madoka Magica
Since its premiere, the 2011 anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been widely regarded by both critics and consumers as a groundbreaking work. While contemporary otaku culture typically eschews the notion of a grand narrative, this does not mean that otaku lack a longing for the transcendent, which is often projected onto a young girl whose limitless potential triggers an intense reaction with otaku who have an affinity for the fictional over the mundane. However, Madoka Magica harkens back to an even older model of the transcendent. Within the series, through powers gained from multiple, self-sacrificial incarnations, the lead character Madoka is able to break free from her reality and into a paradise in which her fellow magical girls can attain absolute peace. This article explores the ways in which the discourse of Pure Land Buddhism have been integrated into Madoka Magica and, thereby, offers otaku a postmodern Pure Land.
