Mamoru Hosoda has had a good week. On July 15, the anime director known for films such as “Summer Wars” (2009) and “Mirai” (2018) debuted his latest movie, “Belle,” at the Cannes Film Festival to a 14-minute standing ovation. It opened in Japan a day later, where it made around ¥890 million on its opening weekend, putting it on solid footing to be one of the year’s biggest films.
Hosoda, 53, also made headlines for comments he made at Cannes about the way women are portrayed in anime.
“You only have to watch Japanese animation to see how young women are underestimated and not taken seriously in Japanese society,” he said in an interview.

Episode 10 ties up some loose ends with Takara s backstory, introducing the lawyer we ve seen several times as a former hedonist fairy that worked for his dad. We also meet Tina, a stripper and single mom (essentially) whose babydaddy is a deadbeat gambling addict. This episode primarily serves to reinforce
Fairy Ranmaru s somewhat positive portrayal of sex workers. Takara himself works as one and he compliments Tina multiple times on her skillful dancing. It is, however,
not the first time the series has used more hands-on sex work as a looming threat.
