In addition, these four roles are those who are exposed to the threat of 1) victims, 2) criminals, 3) detectives, and 4) crimes, but cannot resolve them. Then, it was found that the ending of the story was an archetypal invention in the anime Ryuugajou Nanana No Maizoukin, while the other five anime had archetypal conventions according to Cawelti's theory. In addition, in this study, it was found that there is a formula invention that occurs in every detective anime. The form of invention in detective anime is to add a supernatural formula to the storyline. Based on the results of data analysis, the conclusion is that the six animes contain the rules and inventions of the formula detective genre. Formula conventions and inventions occur as the audience becomes more interested in the genre. The more popular a particular genre, the more conventions and inventions as a development of formulas and archetypes. |
