Abstract (English)

Trese (2021) is the first Filipino “anime” to be released on a global platform as a comic book adaptation of the beloved crime story that utilizes elements and creatures from local mythology. Led by the theory of remediation by Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin, this paper attempts to analyze the adaptation and subsequent remediation of Trese from a local comic to a globally produced anime as its creative process and product offers insight to how Filipino identities and realities—the physical, fantastical, and political—is located vis-a-vis the global and g(local) audience. This will be discussed through a textual analysis of the anime adaptation; its global and local influences that affect its remediation and adaptation of the comic to an anime; the participation of Jay Olvia, the supervising director of Trese; and conclude with the impact of diverging canons of the source text and the adapted material toward the Filipino (g)local identity and experience.
