六心公主

An anime with Takashi Murakami in charge of planning, original concept, and direction. It was announced as a television anime from January 2015 to 2016. It aired on December 30, 2016, with half of its runtime broadcast as a mix of apology footage and program previews. What is the story of "6HP"? The genre of witch-themed programs, which sprouted in Japan's post-war culture, traces its origins to American live-action comedy shows like "Bewitched." While mimicking that mood, witch-themed anime with female protagonists were born, carrying with them a certain shadow of impoverishment. These shows gained immense popularity and, transcending eras, became a major genre in Japanese animation. The theme consistently pursued by artist Takashi Murakami since his debut has been the depiction of <the strange forms of Japan's post-war culture>. This work critically observes the development and cultivation in Japan of the witch-themed anime genre, which was originally an imported culture from America, and questions whether a narrative resolution can be found within it. Such a challenge lies at the heart of this work.
