What Is Hugtto! Precure, and Why Is It Anime of the Year?
Hugtto! Precure received some controversy when it was voted as the jury pick for /r/anime’s Anime of the Year. On the surface, it looks like a show that solely appeals to 13 year old girls—wearing pink frills and makeup on its sleeves. However, along with that image dwells a story that touches the heart of the human experience. One that distills feelings of insecurity, doubt, and struggle into an easy to digest package. One whose messages are universal, that reverberate and resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds. Life is painful but it is worth it. Knowing that, try to help others whenever possible. You have worth. You can do anything. You can be anything.
In a way, it is quite fitting for Hugtto to place where it did in both rankings—simultaneously first and last. After all, the central almost incessant message of Hugtto is that it is worth fighting. That although it may be hard, and that you may get hurt, you can believe in yourself and others to make it through. Do not damn those who would attempt to put you down. Instead, perhaps you can show them a new perspective. In Buddhism there is a saying, “holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal to strike another; you are the one who is burned.” Hugtto says forget coals… try hugs
