This year's new series was once called the "original season". In the current Japanese animation industry where original animation is declining, it is rare to see two original innovative series in the new series in the season that has sparked heated discussion.
These two original novel episodes that were originally highly anticipated were the famous "garlic" (lycoris recoil) and "kiss" (engage kiss) .
As October is approaching, both original novel episodes have come to an end, and the "kiss" ends with laughter and joy.
Although the audience of "kiss" is limited - cannot accept the audience of the harem series were dissuaded from the first episode.
However, the audience who stayed behind were all fun by Marudo old thief. All the investors who bought nun stocks went to the rooftop to remake in an orderly manner, and the new stock sister stocks IPOed at a high price, looking forward to the opening of the stock market in the next quarter.
Compared with "kiss", "garlic" is finished in a trivial matter.
From an animation that pleases most viewers to an animation that offends most audiences, "Garlic" only took only 2 episodes.
Today, let me take you to see how "garlic" is making itself a mess step by step.
First of all, since an animation will fail, it means that it has at least been glorious.
How did "garlic" trick the audience into? First of all, we have to start with the first three episodes of its extraordinary (laughs) play. The first three episodes of
"Garlic" are almost as powerful as "breaking circle level". Even if viewers who don't usually watch animations often give him the first three episodes of "Garlic" they will most likely be interested.
Although there are also super straight-ball lily business like "lesbian Zhuanzhuan", this stage of "garlic" is very interesting even if these lily business is eliminated.
The solid world view construction and plot promotion are the core competitiveness of "garlic" at this stage. The "garlic" unfolding in this stage of
basically perfectly copied the routine of the "hero journey" summarized in "Story Strategy".
The protagonist (Taitana) was frustrated at the opening and was thrown out of his original life trajectory (fired by DA) , invited to enter the "Hero Journey" (enter the cafe) , and get the main task (retrieve the gun) .
episode 3 is her last chance to refuse to embark on the "Hero Journey" (back to DA) . However, Commander Nangi's refusal and Qianshu's "Lesbian Zhuan Zhuan" completely blocked the road, and her "Hero Journey" officially began.
The story follows the "hero journey" of the kingly tradition, and the world view construction... I can only say that at least this stage only shows the part of the appearance of the gold and jade.
Although the opening of the DA was a bit of a tragedy team, the subsequent processing was very real - the staff on the scene took the blame directly, and the handling of the person who took the blame (Talina) is to take it lightly. The transfer of
to a coffee shop is basically similar to a branch sent outside the headquarters and led by a business tycoon. In a sense, it is a sweet spot, but Takina doesn't understand it.
At the same time, the emotional line between Takina and Chishu during this stage follows a gradual principle.
We can clearly see the process of Takina's relationship heating up: From the beginning of ignoring love to the later adopting Qianshu's "no killing" fighting method.
From the beginning, I just wanted to go back to DA, and after being crazy affirmed by Qian Shu in the third episode, I found the meaning of my life after leaving DA.
In short, the attitude that Adachi Supervisor put forward in the first three episodes is an attitude of wanting to tell a story well.
Although the second child can smell the obvious fragrance of lily, the main storyline has no big problems, and the performance is quite highlighted, and the lily business is not the only selling point.
Even if the audience does not eat lily, they can still enjoy the first three episodes as JK beautiful girl changing skins Hollywood gunfighting movies.
Then, starting from episode 4, starting from that magical "sakana", everything changed.
If we only look at the discussion and popularity, these famous scenes in the fourth episode are simply a big deal.
It is no exaggeration to say that "sakana" has swept the fan circle in a viral way, and 2-creation works based on this famous scene spring up like mushrooms after a rain. The solid foundation laid by the first three episodes of
, coupled with the work of the fourth episode, directly pushed the popularity of "garlic" to the forefront.
However, if we calm down and look back at this fourth episode, we will find that Since this episode, "garlic" has not been telling a good story. Takina in the first three episodes of
is a lycoris who can shoot and kill people without hesitation in order to complete the task, and has a flexible moral bottom line for the protection object.
Although Chishu won Takina with "Lesbian Zhuanzhuan", she accepted her life in a cafe, accepted the fact that she could not return to her, and also accepted Chishu's "no murder" working method.
However, if we use a romantic relationship to describe their relationship, Chishu and Takina can only be said to be the "introduction of feelings" stage at the end of the third episode.
However, in the fourth episode, these two people seem to be old husbands and wives.
Takina just smiled at the end of the third episode, and this episode became funny in seconds, contributing the world-famous painting "sakana".
I think there should be a distance between a serious and decisive killer to a social cow who can take the initiative to make fun of him while visiting an aquarium with his friends. It cannot be done by a "lesbian".
Episode 4 is also the time when the main villain Mashima started to make trouble. Just when Takina and Chishu Aquarium were dating, countless lycoris had already died in the subway station they passed by.
When the protagonists passed by, these two former lycoris saw this scene and were obviously aware of what happened below.
Ko Qianshu just pulled Takina, and they pretended that nothing happened and left here. There is no problem taking out the scene of
alone. After all, this episode is only 24 minutes. After finishing Qianlong posts, there is no time for them to go against Mashima.
However, from another perspective, the production team chose the latter between the aquarium work and the subway station promotion plot, and its intention was very obvious.
main plot? Where can I do a job, do postings, and be full of heat?
Since the fourth episode, the production team has given up the script logic of "Hero Journey" and the normal promotion of the relationship between characters. Everything gives way to the theme of "Qianlong Post".
Because Takina's character's growth arc was stabbed to the end with a pole, he instantly changed from a cold-faced killer to a more normal JK beauty than Chishu.
Therefore, the two had to change their position in this relationship. Takina, the young wife who was taken away by Chishu, quickly became a boyfriend who tolerated Chishu's willfulness.
I have to say that since the fourth episode, I have lowered my psychological expectations for "garlic".
I no longer expect to see any wonderful stories in "garlic". This animation sells CP rather than stories.
Of course, for a seasonal animation, there is no need to be that high. Selling character design, selling CP, selling worldview, selling stories... No matter what the selling point is, if you do this selling point well, the audience will buy it.
I think that many anime experts (laughs) expressed optimism about "garlic" in the middle of "garlic". This is also the reason why expressed optimism about "garlic" in the middle of "garlic".
gave up the possibility of selling stories in exchange for the stable output of selling CP, and supplemented by the production level that does not lose the chain. Although the upper limit of
"garlic" can be seen at a glance, its lower limit is also very high. As long as the production team insists on selling CP, it can still be done with laughter and joy. Animation like
, which sells CP, does not actually require too strong conflicts. After a long daily life, set up a slightly more troublesome problem and let Qianlong and the others work together to solve it.
However, after episode 9, the production team that has been operating in Lily was suddenly awakened to their sense of self-expression, and insisted on filming out the "serious content" in their stomachs for the audience to see.
is all the last 1/3. The production team, who has always been addicted to CP, suddenly remembered the "hero journey" that had been thrown aside, and began to use the "countdown" method to increase the tension in the end.
The contradiction between Yoshimoto and Qianshu about "killing or not killing" was completely ignited. Qianshu's "personal father" and the man who gave her a second life and meaning in life sent someone to stop charging her artificial heart. Qianshu Jiang, the rest of his life is three months!
Not only that, this snailed man also put the only other artificial heart into his body. If Qian Shu wants to survive, he must "kill his father to get his heart".
Mashima also started to do a big job, kidnapped Yoshisong, used him as bait to fish for a thousand bunches, and also carried out a decisive battle at the inauguration ceremony of the new radio tower.
Not only did he reveal the existence of lycoris, he also randomly fired guns in the city, and started the whole nation to eat chicken.
production team gave itself two problems beyond its ability, and problems beyond its ability are destined to be solved only in a child's playful way.
The owner of the cafe took on everything, secretly killed Jisong, and created the illusion that Jisong was still alive and blessed for the new life of Qianbo. After
DA's super AI snatched back control from hackers, they interpreted the new radio tower incident as a "special show". After making a movie, they fooled the public.
"Don't take the job of porcelain without Diamond ." The failure of
"garlic" is to put it bluntly, the ability of the production team is not in line with its ambitions. I also want to make a living by selling CPs, and I also care about the little self-expression desire in their belly.
in the middle of the day, mastering the Lily business wealth code, the popularity is full, and it is only 1/3 that I remember the narrative in the end. thinks both ends, why do I think so beautifully?
Although the ending of "garlic" itself is a bit funny, its degree of failure is objectively less than the top and the bottom.
In this era of bad luck, the ending of "garlic" is far from the worst, and it can even be classified as "stable landing". Another important reason why the popularity of
"garlic" is reversed in both polarities, that is, the other half of its name "recoil" - a recoil.
Its business is just as popular as it sells lily in the mid-term, and how much it is backfired later.
Although the audience of "garlic" is not all Lily Chef, there are many viewers who have been tricked into the first three episodes and then they are fun. After all, there are not many animations that can be watched in in July.
However, just like the popularity of the business of Sari, I finally put some narrative ambitions on the job that Sari Chef doesn't like to watch - yes, I'm talking about the interaction between Mashima and Chishu.The behavior of "being and standing upright" in
is finally backfired, and it can only be said that it deserves it.
If Adashi Supervision can really make some good work on "serious content", maybe I will also say a few unjust words for him, give him some "Li Zhongke" evaluation, and try to turn the case for "garlic".
Unfortunately, Adachi Supervision failed to do this, so my comments were only "Have you opened champagne".
"Tell stories well" . These five words are simple to say, but it is not easy to do it.
If you just want popularity, there are too many shortcuts available. Speculators can get the attention of honest people who are diligent in telling stories with a little touch.
However, time will eventually give its fair evaluation. The only things worth remembering are always those honest people who do not deliberately please and narrate in a solid manner.
