You may never wait for the finale of "Detective Conan", but you can definitely wait for its new style -
Some time ago, the TV version of "Detective Conan" updated, episode 1049, became a popular trend topic on Twitter shortly after it was broadcast - this is not because it was filmed well, but because its style is too broken:
In this episode, the proportion of Officer Meguri's body is erratic, and Maori Kogoro has changed from "Sleeping Kogoro" to a greasy uncle in bean eyes, and Conan himself, with his facial features, doesn't look very smart.
At this moment, I can only quote the audience's comments to summarize my feelings:
"The faces of Officer Meguri and Kogoro Mouri are as flat as being run over by a tractor. Did the animator of this episode outsource it because he was rushing to have a holiday?"
's latest episode, I can't understand it, but I was shocked.
In fact, this is not the first time "Detective Conan" has become a hot search because of its "destroyment style":
As one of the five-member team of the police academy, the popular character Matsuda Hachihiro , after returning, he completely changed his style from a bomb disposal expert to an ordinary passerby;
and Officer Takagi , one of the Golden Green Leaf Group, has also changed from an early image of a police academy elite and spiritual guy to an ordinary attendance muggle in the later stage.
The previous and later comparisons of Officer Takagi can only be said to have grown up in the workplace.
If we look at the timeline longer, you will find that the style of "Detective Conan" is a normal state:
has been premiered in 1998, Conan's image has changed from a round bun face to many changes to the current sharp awl face -
"continuously updated ultra-long standby mode × inevitable change of the main creative team", which seems to have made the "style of the animation version of "Detective Conan" a helpless thing.
can only say that although his identity is an elementary school student who has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the years have finally left some traces on him.
A picture distinguishes between post-80s and post-10s
, and "Detective Conan" is not an isolated case -
Recently, the animated film "Lupin III VS Cat Eye Three Sisters" released a preview. As a joint work of the 50th anniversary of "Lupin III" and the 40th anniversary of "Cat Eye Three Sisters", its style collapsed unexpectedly:
Even if you have never seen "Cat Eye Three Sisters", you must have used the protagonist group "When you wear sunglasses, no one loves it", "I am not fickle, but my heart is broken into many films, and each film falls in love with a different person" emoticon package -
But overnight, the mature woman turned into a gray-haired old girl. It cannot be said to be ugly, but it does not have any characteristics and loses its original taste.
"Aesthetic downgrade" of animation works seems to have become an unstoppable trend:
Some people recalled the restart of the transparent card of "Sakura Variety", and the picture seemed to have a light pollution filter, covering the feeling of plastic all the time, shrouded with a halo of myopia;
Some people have reviewed the image changes of "Crayon Shin-chan", from the early bun face to the later rugged face, the future direction seems to be not difficult to predict.
In the eyes of the post-80s and post-90s, the classic animation works of the past seem to have all turned to the ending of "collapse of painting style" -
Is this really an aesthetic downgrade? Who is still watching this style of painting?
Objectively speaking, the changes in the style of animation works were partly affected by technological progress -
Early Japanese animations adopted celluloid hand-drawn drawing method, which would lead to clear and dark pictures and obvious styles. The overall look was a "deep" feeling. However, after the computer digital production technology was later adopted, the picture quality was improved:
For example, one of the famous scenes in "Detective Conan" was that the new one transformed into a "Knight" and returned to campus. In the two versions broadcasted in the past and later periods, the hue saturation of the two was very different -
Of course, putting aside the tone, the latter's picture composition was not very particular, and with the death filter, it should still be a big board.
On the other hand, the changes in the style of animation works will also be influenced by cultural trends and fashion trends -
From the perspective of the line ratio of characters, early Japanese animation was influenced by Disney animation . When drawing character shapes, round lines and exaggerated proportions are often used, such as Osamu Tezuka 's "Iron Arm Astro Boy";
By the 1980s, Japanese animation began to rise, with the body proportions of characters being similar to those of real people and the muscle lines are more realistic, such as "The Three Sisters of Cat Eyes";
After the millennium, with the rise of "cute culture", a new round of bold attempts has emerged, such as the recently popular "Spy Player House" and "Summer Reappearance", which is this style.
It is a good thing to be brave enough to try new styles. In fact, the most popular style of "Detective Conan" is exactly the mid-term style. However, it is not good to have too biased style -
Which style do you prefer?
