Rewatching a Pinocchio anime in 2022 (NOT CLICKBAIT!!!!)

...yeah I'm just taking the piss here, but today I did finish rewatching Piccolino No Boken in its entirety and I must say, it was a very different experience than my first contacts with the show. Which, I mean. Could be explained by the fact that I was about 9 the last time I watched it regularly and I had seen some episodes as a preschooler already. But I digress.

Overall, it's a nice cartoon. Not a masterpiece, because it's a 70s anime that verges on shonen content most of the time, with the main character having almost ridiculous misadventures every day and being followed by parodies of villains - but all the same, it's still good. They took many themes and scenes from the Collodi novel and adapted them to create a more fluid story/reworked them to fit the tastes of a different audience, and it was a good call! It really did wonders! I quite enjoyed the story, even putting aside the nostalgia factor it might have had on me. Plus, any adaptation that bothers to feature the gorilla judge, the snake, the doghouse and multiple other amenities deserves a high spot in any ranking, imho.

As for the more crucial questions...well.

Is the Fairy really as much an asshole as you thought her to be before your rewatch? Even worse, honestly, because now I have the full scope of her bullshit. The book Fairy was already a considerable bastard, but this one upped the ante more than I could have imagined. She gaslighted (gaslit?) multiple people including a child, straight up lied to said child and mocked him for his mishaps, willingly put him in situations that could turn dangerous and/or painful beyond control (and often did so!), abandoned him...I could go on. My point is, any woman causing a young boy to get kidnapped and strung from a tree branch and refusing to take him down until begged to do so deserves to be in everyone's blacklist, and I stand by this concept.

Did this Pinocchio have ADHD or anything similar? Maybe???? They probably didn't intend to make him so, but even so, they managed to accidentally check off many many MANY elements that would prompt raised eyebrows nowadays. He has trouble sleeping, poor emotional control, a physical difficulty in sitting still, gets distracted easily, hyperfocuses on seemingly meaningless details, struggles with unfamiliar foods...involuntary ADHDer or not, at least they succeeded in making him relatable to ME. Anything that has happened on my blog in the past two years can be directly sourced to 4yo Serena watching this Pinocchio be hyperactive as fuck and going :oooo

Who was your favorite character? Who else?

Are you going to watch Mokku next? Why don't we stop talking for a little while-

@bewilderedmoth this is how seaweed sam looks in my head

the weird name saga continues

this guy is called rosario

fiorellocore <3

LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS THO

[naivesilver]

piccolino no boken fairy red flags counter

blamed pinocchio for mistrusting someone he had just met and who seemed to know a lot about him (herself) while actively deriding him for being too trusting of other strangers

purposefully tricked him into thinking he was safe from the assassins via hallucinations

didn't have him cut down from the tree until gina begged her even though the tree itself was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER WINDOW

[naivesilver]

why is everyone in this town so casually violent towards a random wooden child I'm

[naivesilver]

why are they putting this boy made of wood to work with an axe. why. is this once upon a time.

[naivesilver]

I don't know what the FUCK is happening but the fox and cat are daydreaming of being rich and ruling together over a kingdom. Diversity wins.

[naivesilver]

obsessed with this kid and the reactions he gets from older people. yes of course I'll heal your wounds. you have a sweet name. where is your family? eat some food, drink some water. you shouldn't be out here alone at night, take a spot by the fire. has everyone been treating you well? thank you for your help, you're so polite. goodbye, stay safe. over and over again it's KILLING me

[naivesilver]

gina also recognizes pinocchio from his temper first. peak bff behavior okay

[naivesilver]

see the problem is that now I backed myself into a corner bc the only thing that would soothe my anger at this show would be writing more of the baby boy getting the life he deserves with august, but I can't continue writing only THAT for an au that is supposedly about pinocchios swapping places, so all that's left for me to do is. sitting here. stewing.

SO THE FAIRY CAN FIGHT SOME THIEVES BUT SHE CAN'T PROVIDE A PASSABLE PARENTAL FIGURE TO A CHILD??????? bruce wayne would be so ashamed smh

[naivesilver]

like I know I should be thinking about more useful stuff but today's episodes really reminded me of how piccolino no boken might be the one (1) pinocchio adaptation where I don't want him to go back to his family, whatever it means for him on that universe. his father pinned him as a lost cause after less than a day, the fairy only wants to prove how worthless he is - meanwhile in ep 24 he walks into a village and they're all immediately delighted by this funky kid who's extremely polite and wants to help even if he's a chaos machine. the head of the community and his wife take him in, feed him until he's sated, TUCK HIM IN BED, and actually enjoy his presence, and if I didn't know the story I'd pretend there aren't almost 30 episodes left and imagine they've adopted him for good. this is a child that has admitted to not having had a proper meal or a proper bed in weeks. miss me with that hero's journey shit.

obsessed with this cat and fox constantly being a bootleg furry team rocket

[naivesilver]

this dolphin is literally the only guy in the whole show who takes "he's a little boy and this has been a stressful day can we start this conversation from the top" as a valid excuse I hope he's thriving
