MÄR (Manga) | comment |
A shonen action manga/anime by Nobuyuki Anzai, the creator of Flame of Recca. The manga ran in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 2003 to 2006, and the anime aired from 2005 to 2007.Poor Ginta just can't get a break. He's nearsighted, does poorly in school, isn't athletic, and to top it all off, is really short for his age. He has quite the imagination, however, having had the same dream of the fantastical world of Märhaven, where he's the hero that saves the day, a total of 102 times. This only makes him a bigger laughingstock at school, except for his childhood friend Koyuki who very much enjoys Ginta's imaginary adventures. Then one day, a mysterious portal appears in the middle of his class room and its guardian summons Ginta to the world beyond. With little hesitation, Ginta steps through to find himself in the land of his dreams. Not only is Märhaven real, but Ginta is now strong and agile and best of all, no longer needs his glasses to see! Thus begins Ginta's adventures in Märhaven.Early on in the plot, the action revolves around fighting monsters and bandits and introducing the other main characters. The plot then takes a darker turn when the Chess declare war on all of Märhaven which culminates in an epic tournament with the fate of Märhaven hanging in the balance.The anime's North American release ran on Cartoon Network's Toonami (after a more consistent run on Toonami Jetstream), however schedule irregularities ensured its tenure was short lived. Due to that, the English dub was discontinued as well.See also the series Sequel Series, MÄR Omega | |

Cursed with Awesome: The Zombie Tattoo, depending on how you look at it. On the one hand, it grants immortality; even if you die, you simply Rise from Your Grave some time later. In addition to that, the tattoo is a gift and Märk of admiration from Phantom, something every Chess Piece would quite literally kill for. On the other hand, it grants immortality by making you into a living zombie; "never to die, and never to truly live again". Mär member Alviss views it as a curse, while Knight Rolan views it as a great blessing. | |

Not a Game: Ginta gets a very harsh wake-up call as to the seriousness of the Chess Piece threat when Alan explains the War Games after showing Ginta the destruction the Chess have already caused. And reaffirmed again with Snow after she watches Dorothy utterly destroy one of the Chess Pieces, even when the poor guy tries to call uncle but Dorothy won't let him. | |

Magikarp Power: Jack's Battle Shovel is easily the most useless Ärm the group has, even worse than an unpowered Babbo. All it is is a shovel shaped chÄrm that morphs into... an ordinary shovel, not even meant for battle. However, during his first Training Gate session, Dorothy teaches him how to use Magic Stones with the shovel to give it better powers. Jack manages to turn the shovel into a highly powered Nature Ärm (renaming it the Earth Shovel) with the power to manipulate soil and rock, and to germinate and control all manner of highly magical plants. He then proceeds to win almost every one of his War Game fights with it. | |

Invincible Hero | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: All of the team members are this to a degree, but Dorothy takes the cake (She's the only other member of the group not to lose in any of the fights. Ginta himself is justified during the War Games because his loss, as captain, would mean that the entire team would lose.). Just to demonstrate this point, the three weakest members of the team, Snow, Jack and Nanashi. Even they only ever seem to lose under bad circumstances. Nobody on the team ever seems to lose a straight-up fair match. With Nanashi, his first loss was because he was too chivalrous, and his draw was because he threw it on purpose, not because he was incapable of winning. With Snow, her first loss was because she had a MAJOR DISADVANTAGE due to the extreme heat making her ice powers far weaker, and could've probably destroyed Mr. Hook if all things were equal. Her second loss is because she had a huge psychological block about attacking her opponent, but she still holds her own quite nicely, just as she's about to get over the block, she gets captured. Only Jack ever seems to lose purely because of just not being strong enough. | |

He Is All Grown Up: Koyuki was already in love with Ginta, but she quite enjoyed seeing that, upon his return from MAR Heaven, he was a year older, taller, stronger, and didn't need glasses anymore. The magic may not have transferred, but all the other benefits he received from his trip to MAR Heaven did. Inheriting Snow's affections for him probably helps. She doesn't explicitly mention it in the anime like she does in the manga, but it's obviously there. | |

When You Snatch the Pebble: After Gaira's Training from Hell that he puts Ginta and Jack through, Alvis asks for a showing of their power now. He takes two stones and fires them towards the two from behind. Ginta, intelligently moves out of the way, impressing Alviss. Jack instead punches the stone, shattering it. He then is seen rolling on the ground because the stone injured his hand. Alvis notes the power increase, but notes that Jack is still an idiot, while Ginta merely freaks out at nearly being lobotomized. | |

Holding Back the Phlebotinum | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_87f943a7 | comment |
Holding Back the Phlebotinum: Utterly averted. Most notably, the Training Gate is introduced early and used often; every character not participating in the current day's fights will be training inside, and everyone goes inside to train on the days off. In battle, the big weapons and guardians are used often, but saved for late in the battle, but this is justified because it takes time to build up synchronization with one's Ärm. Using a big guardian too early will result in it being as harmless as a soap bubble, as Alan is all too willing to explain to an unfortunate Rook. | |

Screwed by the Network: Together with The Prince of Tennis, MÄR was aired out of order for several weeks, so that the audience had no idea what was going on. By the time they decided to start over and air the series properly, most of the fans had given up, and it was taken off the air a few months later. It survived for a time on the internet, but that, too, was soon abandoned. DVD's were likewise abandoned as Viz Media gave up on the series entirely. It seems the most we'll ever get from an official source is the 52 episodes currently on Hulu. | |

A Glass of Chianti: Peta drinks Nanashi's blood from a fancy (yet creepy) wineglass during their battle. And yeah, it's just a glass, not an Ärm. | |

Mighty Glacier: Avrute, one of the Chess bishops in the forth battle of the war game, moves slowly and wields a huge claw that can slice through anything; he gets defeated instantly before he can even do anything. | |

Mask Power: Every Chess Piece with a rank higher than Pawn has a unique mask. Pawns all have identical masks, to cement their place as Faceless Goons. Inverted in the Fourth Battle, where the only Chess Bishop wearing a mask was defeated instantly. | |

Elemental Ignorance | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_9947b300 | comment |
Elemental Ignorance: During the War Games Snow wanted to participate in the 4th round Ice Field match but Alan wouldn't let her, which considering the boost she'd get from the Ice Field would more than compensate for any lingering fatigue, so it was a pretty stupid move on Alan's part. And that's barely scratching the surface of some of the rather... unique choices they make. | |

Eating the Enemy | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_9ad9c666 | comment |
Eating the Enemy: "ARM" come in a wide variety and some are able devour their foe. A great double example occurs during the 2nd round of the War Games where Dorothy goes up against Bishop ranked Chess Piece. She sens out a pawn ARM to test what he can do, and he reveals his ARM to be a Blob Monster called Vacua that envelops his enemies and dissolves them instantly. After destroying some of her weak ARM's he sicks Vacua on her. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't realize that she's a ruthless Blood Knight and is WAY out his league. She decides to bust a real ARM and in a flash, the Chess Piece finds his monster ARM sucked into a portal and devoured with chucks spat out. Out of the portal emerges Dorothy's own enemy-eating ARM, Toto a giant, blue dog with a Black-Hole Belly. Suddenly, the poor Mook finds himself on the receiving end of this trope as Dorothy has the beast suck him into the abyss that is its stomach. | |

Gecko Ending | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_9b25f2eb | comment |
Gecko Ending: In a rather odd example in that the manga ended before the anime. Unlike most examples, it is actually positive as it wraps up the remaining plot threads by having Koyuki and Snow merge in order for Ginta not feel guilty about leaving Mar Heaven, the Orb being revealed that it is the embodiment of all of the evil of Ginta's world, thus connecting to why he had Diana try and open a portal to his world and make the latter's motive make more sense and the fights are much better paced than the actual manga. | |

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Ginta, Jack, and Nanashi. All three display varying degrees of stupidity, yet when pushed hard enough show their badass sides. As well as Rolan, to an extent. He stutters and acts rather silly, even when evading attacks in battle...until he starts fighting back. Nanashi acts like and is in fact a skirt chaser all of the time. However the few matches that he loses are because he went easy on his opponents | |

The anime spends a considerable amount of time to building up the Love Triangle between Ginta, Snow and Dorothy. In the end, He doesn't explicitly 'choose' either, unless you count choosing to return to Earth the same as choosing to be with Snow/Koyuki. The shows ends with them walking home together, both blushing and Koyuki clinging to his arm, which might imply something... take it as you will. | |

Shout-Out: in one episode of the anime Ginta is turned into a pink rabbit in what is probably a shout out to Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past One of Phantom's abilities is to trap his enemies into what appears to be the Phantom Zone, from Superman. That and he is called Phantom. In the first episode, Ginta is playing a Video Game that closely resembles Final Fantasy VII. Ginta himself looks like protagonist of FFVII. | |

Training from Hell | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
It's even worse for the Zonnen. In order to end the War Games, they intended to assassinate the main characters during the latter's Training from Hell. Instead of simply killing Alan and destroying the training gates he had activated, they GO INSIDE THE TRAINING GATES AND TORTURE THE PEOPLE INSIDE. Cue the KÄrmic Deaths. | |

Expy | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Nanashi is whole lot similar to Flame of Recca's Joker. Epileptic Tree says that Nanashi IS Joker who got thrown into the Mär universe after his final battle. The fact that he has the scent of an otherworlder, and first showed up in Märhaven with Joker's clothing and stomach wound, only adds support to this. | |

Hate Sink | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Girom is obnoxious, sadistic Serial Killer that specifically targets women, and acts like a coward every time he's cornered. He also lacks the Evil Is Cool and Love to Hate factor by having no redeeming qualities aside for his love for his equally repulsive sister, Rapunzel. Rapunzel, much like her brother, is a loathsome figure. She's a perpetually screaming, narcissist who belittles everyone else for being ugly in spite of being very hideous, obnoxious and incredibly Stupid Evil for her short-sighted Bad Boss antics that resulted in her entire team being killed almost entirely by her own hands, overall coming across as a violent irritation to everyone around her than a truly disturbing psychopath to not tread lightly. Her one redeeming quality of caring for Girom feels shallow as he's just as unsympathetic as her, and even with her Freudian Excuse, it rings hollow as she and Girom are all too happy to be proud, arrogant, remorseless murderers, especially in comparison to Phantom and Chimera's who've suffered far worse in comparison to put it lightly. Dorothy herself even calls her Rapunzel for how hollow her excuse is. Her antics eventually got on Phantom's nerves and has Ian kill her to replace her amongst the Knight Ranks. And aside from Girom, no one in-universe or out-universe felt any remorse or pity for her passing. | |

MÄR (Manga) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Episode 26 had Jack winning his rematch against Pano through the use of some hallucinatory toadstools that made Pano see Jack as being some sort of handsome guy. When the effects had wore off, Pano was less than pleased about Jack manipulating her normal senses and she ends up kicking him in the family jewels, much to Jack's dismay and to his own teammates' embarrassment. | |

Mushroom Samba | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_f7d4f121 | comment |
Mushroom Samba: In the War Games, Jack gets a rematch with Pano. He seeds her with special mushrooms that give her hallucinations. They go like this: The volcanoes around the battlefield erupt, the mushrooms become caterpillars, the caterpillars become butterflies and the wasteland becomes a field of flowers, the butterflies become bats, vines wrap her up, and then Jack, much better looking than he really is, appears and offers to remove the mushrooms if she gives up, which she does immediately. In fact, he leaves one behind on purpose so she would still think he's handsome. He accidentally knocks it off when he goes to hug her, and the hallucinations wear off in the span of a few seconds. | |

Will They or Won't They? | |
MÄR (Manga) / int_fdc1e848 | comment |
Will They or Won't They?: Alan and Chaton's relationship seems to fall into this especially during the anime. They do at the end. The anime spends a considerable amount of time to building up the Love Triangle between Ginta, Snow and Dorothy. In the end, He doesn't explicitly 'choose' either, unless you count choosing to return to Earth the same as choosing to be with Snow/Koyuki. The shows ends with them walking home together, both blushing and Koyuki clinging to his arm, which might imply something... take it as you will. | |
