Chapter 307 Interpretation

From Chu Yu's point of view, the first and second episodes of the animation of Magical Girl Madoka just briefly describe the setting and characters. The third episode is the death of the senior sister Ba Mami, which changed the style and tone of this work. Everyday feeling is transformed into dark-oriented works.

And the fourth and fifth chapters can be regarded as revealing the worldview of this work a little bit through the death of Ba Mami, and completely shaping the personality of the characters.

Starting from the sixth chapter, this work begins to reveal the essence of the magical girl and the ultimate tragic and irreversible fate of the magical girl.

Just as the title of this work is "Magic Girl Madoka", all the plots of the whole work from the first episode to the last episode revolve around the two key factors of Magical Girl and Madoka.

Therefore, the early grades of this work are a bit poor, and Chu Yu also thinks it is very normal. After all, the early plots are indeed very deceptive, but starting from the fifth chapter. This work can be said to be a high-energy episode with a turning point. .

The tone of the whole work, from the daily joy of the first and second episodes, from the heavy beginning of the third episode, to the depression of the fourth and fifth episodes, to the darkness of the sixth and seventh episodes, to the depression of the eighth and ninth episodes until the end. An episode of The Birth of a God.

It can be said that the atmosphere of this work is more and more uncomfortable for the audience.

The more they look at the back, the more deeply immersed animation viewers can appreciate the heavy and dark atmosphere of this work, even in the last episode. On the surface, the magical girls were saved, but in fact, like that The ending also made many people in the world of the original work feel stuffy in their chests as if they had been hammered.

For the audience of Dragon Country, they are also experiencing the path that fans of Magical Girl Madoka Madoka in the parallel world took.

After all, this work has been on the air for a month. People who started chasing this animation from the first episode or two have forgotten the anticipation, joy, and entertainment that they had when watching this work.

Those who want to see the story of the gorgeous magical girls transforming into the dead house have not seen the story they want to watch until now.

On the contrary, the senior sister Ba Mami, who has always had a good reputation, immediately took the lunch.

But that's where the charm of this work lies, even though it's very different from the magical girl type of anime you'd imagine.

But as long as the people who insist on reading the third chapter, there are not many people who give up the show, but it is true. Now when they see this work, many fans have already felt a little depressed.

Even in the first episode of the animation, when the animation op was broadcast, many people who have watched the plot behind it frantically barrage the screen and swipe the screen. The various cute healing pictures in the op never appeared once in the feature film.

So before the broadcast of the fifth episode of Magical Girl Madoka, Shui Xin Weibo updated the news, "The story of love and magic has officially begun!" Many people were puzzled.

Didn't I say before that the tone of this work was hope in endless despair?

How did it become love and magic now?

Can these elements be mixed and matched?

Anyway, those fans who have been abused by Chu Yu's works in the past are very suspicious of whether Shui Xin is planning to create a huge and depressing work to harm others, and many people have also discussed this issue.

Some people think that Chu Yu's work will eventually develop in the direction of bloody curiosity at most, and it may not be another depressing masterpiece.

After all, the style of the work is dark and bloody and depressing are two completely different concepts.

Take Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance as an example, when Kenshin kills his enemies, it is often bloody with one sword. .

These images are dark enough and bloody enough, but most readers of this comic are not only unmoved when they see them, but also want to laugh.

But the scene where Kenshin cut Xuedaiba and finally Xuedaiba died, made countless fans of this comic feel heartache, and even had endless resentment towards the author in their hearts.

In many animations, the protagonist died and the whole family died, and even the protagonist received a lunch, which is not as good as the scene where the five centimeters per second Guishu saw the train pass by and Mingli also left.

A work cannot touch the audience only by blood, curiosity, and style of painting.

In the third episode of Magical Girl Madoka, what really touched the hearts of the audience was not the bloody scene where Ba Mami was eaten by a witch, but the mutual exchange between her and Madoka before Ba Mami died, which made the audience understand that she was hiding her strength , the vulnerable side under the mask of optimism, and at the same time, it also allows the audience to understand what kind of person she is, and what are her goals and ideas?

In that episode, most of the audience not only fell in love with the indecisive but kind-hearted protagonist Yuan Shikame, but also fell in love with the somewhat arrogant but enthusiastic senior sister Ba Mami.

And when the audience just had a good impression of the character.

The animation used a bloody and cruel way to make the sister sacrifice.

The generation of the audience's depression is just like this, destroying the things that the audience thinks are beautiful in an extremely cruel way in front of the audience.

In Shui Xin's previous works, basically, the depressing plots are all based on love stories.

At five centimeters per second, the depressing feeling that caused the audience after the train disappeared was that her behavior made Guishu's thirteen years of perseverance a joke, and at the same time, it also made the audience feel that Guishu did not choose Chengtian, which caused a huge shock. of regret.

In the same way, Meizi and Rentai in the unheard flower names, and Kenshin and Xuedaiba in the reminiscence chapter, their stories will make people feel sad, and they are all similar.

Therefore, the impression that Chu Yu has left on people who are not familiar with him in the Longguo comics and animation circles is that of a romance master and an old driver.

If not, why did he come up with so many heart-wrenching love stories and cartoons with initial D?

The problem with Magical Girl Madoka's work is that it has no love element. Originally, the theme of Magical Girl tends to be routine, and Shui Xin has not yet added the idea of ​​​​the love story that she is good at.

From the first episode to now, there have been two men, one is the blue-haired girl Sayaka's childhood sweetheart Kyousuke Josuke, and the other is Madoka's house-husband and father. Obviously, these two are just supporting roles. What about their stories? Can touch people's hearts?

So now many people who think that Magical Girl Madoka's work can only stop in the top ten of October animation, basically based on this, in their opinion, perhaps the subversion that Shui Xin said should be the magic girl Madoka's work is made into a bloody combat animation, in that case, this work will definitely not reach a high level.

Another small group of people are followers of Chu Yu's "Warrior of Love", always believing that it is impossible for that guy Shui Xin to create animations other than depressing themes.

In the week after the fourth episode was broadcast, people with two opinions argued endlessly, but in the end, only the follow-up plot of the work can confirm their ideas.

So after the fifth episode of Magical Girl Madoka went online, those who were attracted by this work clicked on the fifth episode of Magical Girl Madoka.

In the fifth episode, the animation didn't hide anything. At the beginning, it was the rooftop where Chubby and Sayaka made a contract.

Dim light, light red sky. Chubby's ears stretched into Sayaka's body, and then brought out Sayaka's soul crystal.

Is this the place where the magical girl's contract was concluded?

Why does it feel like a cult altar!

Not only is there no sense of sacredness, but it also feels a little scary.

Then there is the interaction between Sayaka and the boy Kamijou he likes.

And the plot at the beginning of this episode also tells the audience very clearly that Sayaka's wish to become a magical girl is to restore the hand of Kyousuke Kamijou, a violin genius, to normal.

On the rooftop of the hospital, when Sayaka and Kamijou's parents and the hospital doctor congratulated him on the recovery of his hand injury, Sayaka looked at Kamijou's selfless happy face holding a violin, and thought so.

"My wish has come true! How could I regret it, I am very happy now."
