Despite its superhero mold, SHY's story structure takes more than a few cues from the Magical Girl genre, which is a welcome twist to the genre.
While appearing to be part of the superhero genre, the latest conflict in SHY – currently streaming on Crunchyroll – is patterned after traditional Magical Girl anime. It's both an interesting move and an excellent way of standing out among its peers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Teru Momijiyama anxious nature might not make her typical superhero material, but it's also perfectly in line with what makes a good Magical Girl. By presenting one story as another – and vice versa – SHY taps into two very different audiences without scaring either off. With superhero stories growing in popularity, it's a welcome breath of fresh air that keeps it from feeling mandated to follow formula.
This isn't to say that SHY is only wearing the superhero genre as a disguise. The first two episodes also show Teru saving Iko Koshikawa both physically and mentally. The presence of a greater group of heroes and villains, all with their own powers, also promises straight combat. Teru's position as a hybrid heroine, however, only makes her more unique, and her empathy more valuable.
Heroism exists on a spectrum. Between superheroes and Magical Girls also exists Tokusatsu shows like Kamen Rider, which also employs similar Magical Girl-esque imagery – transformations and trinkets – to battle monsters hand to hand. SHY thus can also comfortably exist in the space, while catering to a larger audience.
