The painting style is super cute, the historical context is clear
The painting style is super cute, the historical context is clear, kids really understand!
All the characters in this anime have cats as the protagonist. The style is very nonsensical, but it is very cute.
For example, when talking about Zhou Wenwang , he takes benevolence and righteousness as the basis, so you can directly print the words "Kou Wenyi," in the animation. It was so cute that it was bleeding.
When Zhou Wu came out, he changed the image of other kings' domineering side, and his face was filled with unlovable words on his hurried change of clothes.
In addition to being fun and beautiful, as an animation to popularize historical knowledge,"If history is a group of meows" combs the context of Chinese history very clearly.

The audience received mixed reviews, and the author responded with high IQ
Even such a cute and positive science animation, there is still no comment from the audience. Like to say: "cute" and "super cute"; but there are also critics: "The content is too shallow and lacks depth."
Faced with the comments of the audience, the author of the comic, Zhi Zhi, responded:
We hope to "popularize science" and turn the original boring knowledge into easy-to-understand content, which will definitely weaken its depth. , But if it can inspire everyone to "dig deeper" because of interesting expressions, then this is what we would like to see.
And the news about dozens of cartoons being removed from the shelves just a few days ago, People are also thinking: What kind of cartoons do children need?
I think, The value of cartoons should not only be dynamic pictures, but for children, it lies in guiding them to experience the true core of cartoons. And it is the existence of many popular science-oriented animations like "If History is a Flock of Meows" that allows children to learn scientific knowledge more voluntarily. This is the cartoon that parents accept.
Because the famous Swiss developmental psychologist Piaget once said: Children are born scientists and have a strong curiosity and desire to explore the world around them.
