Abstract

Ovaj rad analizira korištenje tabua i svjetski poznatih simbola u anime serijama. Istraživanjem se također htjelo dokazati da su anime serije namijenjene širokoj populaciji, a ne samo djeci. Analiza narativa je korištena za analizu uvodne špice anime serija Death Note i Death Parade. Analizirano je nekoliko elemenata narativa: boje, simboli, intertekstualnost i tabui. Analizirane anime serije sklone su korištenju brojnih simbola povezanih sa smrću. Zbog toga direktni prikaz smrti nije nužan. Neki od tih simbola su: crne ptice, crna mačka, križ, crvena jabuka i lutke. Teme vezane uz smrt i razni vjerski simboli nisu tipični elementi dječjih serija. To znači da anime serije Death Note i Death Parade nisu usmjerene veoma mladoj djeci.

Abstract (english)

This study explores the usage of taboos and world renowned symbols in anime shows. This research also wanted to prove that anime shows are targeted to the wide population, and not just kids. Narrative analysis is used to analyse opening credits of Death Note and Death Parade anime shows. A couple of narative elements have been analysed: colors,symbols, intertextuality and taboos. Analysed anime shows tend to use numerous death related symbols. That is why direct display of death is not necessary. Some of those symbols are: black birds, black cat, cross, red apple and dummies. Death related themes and various religious symbols are not typical elements of a children's show, which means Death Note and Death Parade anime shows are not targeted to very young children.
