Making these made me imagine of a character in the Trese-verse whose specialty is making Voodoo dolls to practice magic 🪡

Are there any anime’s based on Philippine culture?

you'd be hard pressed to find anything filipino related when it comes to japan but there's the sports anime Barangay 143 if that's your speed

there's also this short series on youtube Manila Memories that highlights the best parts of Manila, the philippine's capital

and just for good measure, Trese became the first international filipino anime in 2021. it's a singaporean-produced series based off of a supernatural and crime filipino graphic novel and is available through netflix

#snap chats #it's not surprising that there's virtually no anime about the philippines that isnt exclusive to the philippines #History Time japan was a piece of shit to the philippines during WWII #and just like any elder asian in the family they refuse to acknowledge what they've done #or their apologies are very shallow- best they do is try to ignore what happened #BUT YEAH there you go have fun watchin if you watch any of em

Trese 

Trese is a Filipino comic book series created by Budjette Tan and artist Kajo Baldisimo. It is centred around a detective who deals with supernatural beings in Manila. These often consist of mythical creatures and folklore elements from Filipino culture. Trese - the detective - meets all different types of fantastical creatures in Philippine mythology, even the Tikbalang which was previously talked about in my previous post (Davis, 2021). Having not really seen much of Filipino history, and lack of representation outside of stereotypes, in modern shows and series, this really stuck out to me. They have animated the comic series and released it on Netflix, becoming very popular and teaching people about the mythical creatures inspiring my drawings. The creators of the show hope to pave the way for more Filipino animated films and series, to tell more stories just as great from the Philippines. I wanted to add to this by taking these mythical creatures, creating lino prints and retelling the story through a sequence of prints. Even before it was animated, as a comic, it was a great showcasing of Filipinos and the cultural diversity within the Philippines and another reason it became so popular in the western world was due to the mix of influence from Asian mangas and Western comics, which interested many. 

Trese, even being based in Manila and using the names of the mythical creatures, it is an 18+ horror anime, with constant crime happening and thriller scenes. The first episode talks about the Aswang pack, which consists of the mythical creatures fighting Trese. They are depicted as humans. She then goes on to gouge the eye and cast a spell to find where the spirit originated from. In this show, they speak Tagalog and even show the rural areas of Philippines, so I think it is a good representation of the country and the spiritual and cultural beliefs. The only issue with it being a horror anime is that it is targeted to an older and more mature demographic, not many people will watch outside of that age range, older adults and younger people will not see the representation, which is one limitation of this series. My illustrations are meant to be simplistic in nature so that many can view the drawings and see how they belong to Filipino culture. The storyline is simplified in my prints, but they contained enough information to convey the key aspects behind each creature. 

The difference between Trese as a series and my illustrations is that Trese is set in Manila, there are places set in Philippines, the Guadalupe bridge, and more, all show parts of Philippines, presenting the Philippines as a whole with the creatures, whereas mine just details the stories, giving depth and richness to each creature, whereas Trese just depicts all the scary mythic creatures as monsters that she saves the civilians from. 

One of the main villains in the series is the Aswang and the Aswang clan. At first, they are depicted as humanistic creatures, disguising themselves in human clothing but with their facial features. In Filipino mythology, they are known as vampires, ghouls, and transforming human-beast hybrids (Winiarski, 2022), normally their victims are children and unborn foetuses, but they also hunt victims that are alone at night, which is what is shown in Trese. Upon watching it, I found the anime to be very gory and explicit, however, the depiction of the beast is very accurate in this anime. The art style is very simplistic but they drew the aswang very well, showing the ears and main characteristics of the aswang in an evil way to show that they are devilish in nature. In the first episode, three women fell victim to the aswangs in a train, and this perfectly depicts how aswangs attack. 

Ibong adarna’s story:

The story of Ibong Adarna is a folklore tale. The narrative is based on the lives of King Fernando, who falls sick. His three sons, Pedro, Diego, and Juan, set out to capture the Adarna - believing that it would heal their father, King Fernando. The quest does not prove to be easy, the mythic land of the forest contains many challenges, creatures and disputes. Over the course of the journey, the brothers bond and help each other, showing lessons of honour and humility. As Juan captures the Ibong Adarna, the brothers  Pedro and Diego end up beating Juan up, leaving him on the side of the road. They then lie to the King, their father, and claim they do not know of his whereabouts. Juan eventually returns and forgives them despite this.

After this, the king then gives Pedro and Diego the task of watching the Ibong Adarna, but they grow envious of Juan, so they trick him into believing that the Ibong Adarna escaped. Juan sets off to find the bird, but the truth is revealed. The two brothers are set to be banished, but are spared due to Juan’s forgiving nature. My illustration focuses mainly on the Ibong Adarna as a creature rather than the whole tale and the brothers.

I depicted the story in this way:

- The first lino introduces the scene of a grand castle, King X’s, showing the landscape. 

- The second print portrays the king in his bed, unwell, alone and weak.

- The third print introduces the three brothers who set out to seek the Ibong Adarna, believing it would heal their sick father.

- The fourth lino presents the Ibong Adarna, looking majestic in front of the brother with the cage. The brother hopes that it will heal his father from his illness.  

Folklore and general influence:

Folklore is normally seen as something of a culture that has unreal and unserious 

superstitions, even outdated tales to some people. Many people don’t see how various folklore affects everyone universally, passed down from generation to generation to tell a story, which in turn teaches about diverse cultures. A study by Dahal and Bhatta (2021) showed the reflection of folklore on Nepalese students. They found that these folktales often helped younger children find the concepts of what is good and right in the world. In their conclusion, they state the following: “Folktales represent common forms of literature that are used in the classroom as conscience stories to communicate behavioural expectations to youngsters.”. It is common for children to be taught made-up stories and folklore, ranging from Robin Hood to the Ibong Adarna to teach them good deeds, or the Tikbalang to teach them dangerous issues. This is why illustrating the stories of mythical creatures, I hope that people can recognise the drawings and understand the morals they hold, what they represent and the significance they hold towards Filipino culture, conveying how diverse our culture is.

This is a visual representation of my interpretation of Trese's relationship with The Kambal which is basically "I still don't trust you but I love you anyway" (among other things as well)I really don't think she completely trusts them which is why the twins work hard for her approval but it never really worked out. Idk how it is in the comics tho. Angst fuel 🙏 I based Basilio's hair as a child in the comics since I just prefer it.
