(!)意見:書籍Anime and the Visual Novel有一大段分析了這個角色,例如「The only character who retains relatively childlike traits in the 2006 version is Ayu; but this is also, no doubt, the result of a deliberate aesthetic choice. Indeed, this heroine’s younger look is logically congruous with her status as the victim of partially arrested development. In addition, it could be explained as a corollary of how Ayu perceives herself within the context of her imaginary existence: in other words, as the body image with reference to which she projects herself onto reality and the lives of other personae」。--S叔2023年12月22日 (五) 12:33 (UTC)[回覆]
這書不提也罷,國外學者對這本書的作者Dani Cavallaro評價是「would never rely on her work in my own writing」,「 She just seems to be, at best, summarizing other people’s scholarship at a fast-and-furious pace…There’s so much good, original research out there now, there’s no point in having students using what is, in effect, a one-person Wikipedia in print.」」([1][2])。PJ:ACG/R如果要有不可靠來源列表,她的作品大概率在列。--Nostalgiacn(留言) 2023年12月23日 (六) 02:34 (UTC)[回覆]
不出為奇,Dani Cavallaro的書本身是寫給大眾的,以學術界的嚴謹度而言是差了一些。但不代表其作品不好,例如Magic, Ritual, and Witchcraft上一篇對她著作的評論指出「It should be noted, however, that this book is not an academic monograph: like Cavallaro's other works, it is written for a popular market. The use of cliché, repetitious phrasing, and some Orientalist essentializing makes for a book that is unlikely to endear the author to those expecting a more rigorous work……and the ways they have been examined as objects of scholarly study, may find works by Ichiro Hori, Tamaki Saitö, Jolyon Baraka Thomas, and Noriko Reider, among others, to be of greater value. However, for the reader with little familiarity with Japanese popular culture, who is looking for a popular overview of the ways in which magical themes are employed to impart life lessons through anime, Magic as Metaphor in Anime, along with Cavallaro's other books, may serve as a good introduction.」[3]。不過其還是十分可疑就是了。--S叔2023年12月23日 (六) 03:44 (UTC)[回覆]
