I believe many science fiction fans have watched the " Three-Body " animation produced by Yihua Kaitian. As the most anticipated and popular drama this year, the "Three-Body" animation has reached a total of 150 million views in the first three days of the premiere of two episodes, creating a record of domestic animation creation. When I was following the episode, I found that many people were pestering "The Three-Body Problem" in the comment section. I don't know what the motives of these people are, but the data will not lie.
Actually, I didn’t expect much from the three-body animation. I think the production team can make the famous scenes that should be in the book bigger, and I am satisfied that I can express the pictures I imagined when reading novels. At present, he is doing pretty well. Other issues such as whether the plot is inconsistent and whether passers-by can understand it, I don’t care much about it. This is something that the drama party should care about. If there are serious logical problems as some people say, I think the film party will receive feedback and correct it as soon as possible.
Let’s talk about the plot, the first two episodes show off their muscles while not ignoring the details. The original plot also has advantages over disadvantages. As for some fans of the original work, they were disappointed because the animation did not develop according to their expectations, and said that this series had no future, I think it was unnecessary. Although Liu's original work has reached its peak, the creators of animation also have their own opinions and expressions. Otherwise, it would not be called adaptation, but "copying". The purpose of animation is not only to use visual effects to present the expressiveness that cannot be achieved by text, but also to reflect their own commercial value, rather than just to satisfy the luxury of original fans. Many original fans say that "it should not be modified here, but the details of the original works can express something" is just their wishful thinking. And what is commonly used in film and television is to create illusions and illusions and then gradually reveal the truth and get on track. What we see now is far from the true face of the Three-Body Animation.
And I think it is not as unbearable to pursue that original story. If you look at it from the perspective of original fans, it may feel a bit exaggerated. ETO uses such a big battle to chase Luo Ji , but from the perspective of new audiences, it is actually a relatively serious traffic accident. After all, the novel reveals that these accidents are not accidental later. I can only say that after reading the original work, there is no sense of surprise and mystery, but overall I think it is still very good. After all, the expression forms of novels and animations are very different. It is almost impossible to make all the content. If you add an accident of train derailment, you can better show the characteristics of the history.
In addition, the special effects are really beyond expectations, especially the participle collision, which is really too popular. To be honest, as a fan of the original work, I actually want to see some new things created based on the original work. The height of the original work combines the charm of language, and the limits of imagination of language, and animation is difficult to achieve, especially science fiction, which transcends reality, is destined to be impossible to satisfy everyone when presented in the form of images. With our understanding of the text and our experience so far, the imagined pictures must be different, just like the bottomless imagination between the square inches of four-dimensional space. At least this animation is very sincere. It does not exaggerately rendering special effects, but also retains a part of the seriousness while attracting people's attention. It is a very good science fiction animation.
In addition, let’s talk about ED. The lyrics of the ending song "The Wall Faces" are very "literary", but in fact they are homophones that replace real sentences, such as "coughing blood and obeying silence", which is actually a "miracle of science obeying". The latter should be the true idea of the "wall-faced person", and because of the special mission of the wall-faced person, it has to be replaced with homophones to hide it. This is completely in line with the characteristics of "wall-faced person", and I give this design full mark. I also look forward to a great master who will translate the full text of ED here.
Finally, let’s talk about the small flaws in the animation. First of all, the narrative is somewhat scattered due to multiple perspectives switching. Of course, this is a problem caused by the original text. Then there is the original plot that may be a bit unpleasant. Readers of the original work may think that the plays are added randomly after watching it, such as Ding Yi's space experiment and the speed chase of the big history. If you are not a fan of the original work, you will feel confused when facing a large number of jumping edits and words that need to be explained separately. In general, the animation follows the plot of Three-Body II, but the narrative needs to be improved, and the character design of some characters is controversial. I hope the production team can continue to improve in the future.
