So hey, look what I just discovered, a superhero cartoon, made in the United Arab Emirates and set in Dubai, with a teenager girl as a protagonist, called Emara: Emirates Heroe.
And it actually looks very cool, embracing both western and japanese concepts and styles, while remaining distinctly arab thanks to the setting and costumes, and I gotta say, that’s a damn fine clever integration of the hijab as part of her costume.
As a man both interested in cartoons and islamic culture, this is quite the fascinating little show, specially since these types of media are so rare from that part of the world.
