This typical dystopian setting, with a wildly imaginative setting and plot, and a strong B-level plasma-style cult film, attracted a group of first-line Japanese musicians such as Yonezu Kenji, Aimer, and Queen Bee to get a score of 9.1. Whether it is the discussion or the degree

"Since the fall, human beings have regarded labor as a kind of asceticism and expect it to have the power of atonement."

If you sell your eyes and kidneys in a different world, you can only get less than 50,000 yuan, swallow a burning cigarette , and you can only get 5 yuan. If you fight to death and kill a demon, you will get more than 20,000 yuan rewards. After being deducted from layers of layers, you will only get 88 yuan . What you have to face is the million debt left by the deceased father, and , and , living for 5 yuan for three days. What supports you is the seemingly young body that has been squeezed out all the surplus value, but has no longer had vitality . What would you do?

Escape, incompetence or revolt? But in short, it is really impossible to live like in a desperate life. The male protagonist of this "October new episode" " Chainsaw Man ", the boy named Dianci, is precisely the one who gave his own everything, but still does not get a poor boy who lives with a basic food and clothing . The only thing that can accompany him is a demon tool puppy with a chainsaw. The only way to make Dianci survive is to become someone else's dog .

This typical dystopian setting, with day-to-day setting and plot , and with a strong B-level plasma-style cult film , attracting Mijin Qianshi , Aimer, Queen Bee and other first-line Japanese music Japanese music people, "Chain Saw Man", which has a score of 9.1. Whether it is the discussion level or the degree of outskipping, it has become a well-deserved top spot in October. However, with the broadcast of the second episode on the 19th, the sound of "The Chainsaw Man" animation is worse than the original one.

From a comic to a new symbol

You may not have read the comic "Chain Saw Man", but you may have looked familiar with "I am Miss Machima's dog" and "Good" h www., "The corpse is talking", " Have you received compulsory education, ", etc., and they are familiar with short video hot topics such as "Dancing Dongshan Xiaohong" and collective onlookers and hot searches after the news of adapted anime are released, which proves that this anime has become a new popular symbol of . "The Chainsaw Man", which made a group of fans and passers-by collectively "crazy", is a not so "normal" , which accurately touches everyone's heart.

In this other world, modern facilities are rich, but the classes are solidified and the hierarchy is very strict. The "devil" that coexists with humans is not the simple "bad", "disgusting" or terror in ordinary settings, but the concrete fear . For example, if someone is afraid of spiders, then there will be spider demons. Of course, the deeper the fear of , the deeper the evil of the demon, the deeper the evil .

So the "demon hunter" needs to be opposed to it, but with the opposition of power, it means that must have the transfer of power . Anyone can sign a "contract" with the demon through his own blood , and the corresponding price may be life, maybe soul .

After all, in the pathological society described by "The Chainsaw Man", Life and soul have long been meaningless . So in this drama, you can see another wonder. Plasma, violence, death, blunt abuse and desire statements are normal , but there is no discomfort, but more of a kind of catharsis and release - no one has really become a "dog", but under the heavy pressure, everyone has long lost the ability to pursue "meaning" and "beauty".

Go crazy together in the end of the world

"Times" create "heroes". At the moment of black swan event , the "luxury hope" of "eat a bowl of udon noodles " and "bread spreading toast" can really arouse strong empathy . And the more humane protagonist , which incorporates passionate songs, does not feel inconsistent at all. Because in essence, there is no difference between "save the world" and "get a beautiful sister's hug" - the former may be more likely to become a hypocritical slogan.

What's more, it is not an exaggeration to use "all-member evil people" to describe the protagonist group of "Chain Saw Man". The tone of the whole drama, from art to narrative, maintains a balanced gray, and among the gray, there are even more inadvertent contrasts and surprises. As the protagonist, Dianzi was dismantled into the trash can in the first episode.

"Spiritual Light" of many fans Miss Machima carves the two words "right and profit" and smoke the lungs . In just a few words, you can play the simple electric times all over the place, but you will still give a hug when the electric times is dying. In addition, the metaphor of feeding the electric times to the beginning of the book, the parasitic snail is truly a confusing human complexity and contradiction.

episodes, cool and handsome iceberg face, and other characteristics in the past year. standard male second male second Hayakawa Aki uses a cold appearance to conceal the inner "little nine" in his heart, and also uses insults and violence to show goodwill with "unusual path", but what is left in the world is the "funny legend" of exaggerated Yan Yi.

Not to mention popular characters such as the "magic" monster girl Phava, who is also out of the circle. No character in is perfect , and everyone is even facing an inevitable change, or not a simple purpose. Perhaps an unknown factor appears in the ordinary "Young Fighting Series" that makes people look at it, but when countless chaotic, complex and unknown dangerous factors form the basic operating logic of the world, it becomes the fatal attraction of .

Why is the original work more vital?

It is true that "Chain Saw Man" is a complete and mature , whether in terms of narrative rhythm, commercial means or basic art work. Not to mention the storyboard , which is very playful and innovative in the opening animation, as well as the tributes of movie masters such as Cronenberg, Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino , Sam Mendes , etc. in the whole play, all prove that this drama is "playing something very new".

Pay tribute to the classic B-level film "Murdering Tomato" clip

Although the essence of "Saw Man"'s outsourcing and fanaticism is still "Everyone wants to go crazy together" 's emotional catharsis needs, but Fujimoto, who is "between genius and madman", and MAPPA's ambitions obviously not only want "Saw Man", this unique and irreplaceable IP, is just a carnival of entertainment, but has become the third artistic benchmark of EVA in the 1990s and the 109 giants.

But everything about the justice of the "Chain Saw Man" animation also appears here, I don't know if it is due to the limitations of animation production costs or other reasons. Although the scale and storyboard are still the same, the animation version seems to have lost a lot of tension and aura .

From a more professional perspective, the commercial processing mode of "three rendering two" (releasing 3D animations into two-dimensional animations) will affect the display of the fineness of the animation actions.So in the animation, the shocking scene of the rebirth of Nezha like a "chainsaw man" and after he started killing the enemy, he became a "fruit ninja" like a "cut watermelon". Against the dark background, the texture of the power of cannot show . The same thin figure after the transformation of the tillage also makes the beauty lose, and it is not even as strong as the storyboard of Pavwa killing the sea cucumber demon with one blow.

Comparison of the original comics and animations in similar scenes

The second episode just updated also adjusted the narrative order of the original work, allowing the two popular characters Hayakawa Aki and Pava to appear in advance to "attract fans", which is understandable, but what follows is the fragmentation and powerlessness of the story of . The fusion of too many daily clips seems to make the viewer forget that he is still in a "crazy" dystopian cult set, and turns into the "civil servant" life of "silent Servant". All the emotional accumulation in the first episode seems to be disintegrating.

What affects the narrative logic and perception is the deletion of the narrative line of "muscle demon" , which directly led to the sudden collapse of the image of "kindness" of the second episode of the Dianzi suddenly collapsed. If the "muscle demon" has laid the foundation for the awakening of the concept of good and evil in Dianci's heart, the metaphor of Dianci and "angel" can be further improved, rather than reducing the image of a rare real male protagonist in the history of anime to an empty shell.

In short, the animation of "Chain Saw Man" is an excellent work. The painting skills, storyboards, music, character setting, narrative, and expression are all mature and beautiful, remarkable and , building an excellent venting utopia for hollow patients in a burnout society. Even if you just watch it as a cool drama, it will not lose money. But after calming down, is still a certain distance from the expected masterpiece , especially facing more expressive comics.

But fortunately, the new work of has only released two episodes of , and MAPPA still has the opportunity to find another way to achieve success. After all, many recent masterpieces such as "The Giant", "Yuri on the Ice" and "The Return of the Spell" are from MAPPA.
