If you think about it the plot of His Dark Materials is basically the plot of an anime:
It starts with and young girl setting off on a coming-of-age adventure with a talking animal companion...
And ends with her KILLING GOD
I am so glad that they changed the person who mary falls in love with into a woman. it fits her character and the story so well<3
“And I thought, will anyone be better off if I just go back to the hotel and say my prayers and promise never to fall into temptation again? And the answer came back. No. No one will. And I realised there was no one there to reward me for being a good girl or no one there to punish me for being wicked. There was no one. And it was… it was liberating. And it was… It was a bit lonely. But I just knew I wanted to experience everything the world had to offer. I wanted to experience love.” MARY MALONE in HIS DARK MATERIALS 3.08
