Chapter 148 Progress

Thursday, April 10th. ]|I{•------» «------•}I|[

After a week of broadcasting, the Dragon Kingdom summer animation market is basically similar to what everyone predicted at the beginning.

In addition to the three games, cartoons, and novels adapted into animations whose original works are popular works, there is also an original animation "Summer Time" with high mobile ratings.

In addition to these four works.

More than a hundred new quarterly animations have been broadcast on more than a dozen mainstream TV stations in Long Kingdom, and their ratings have basically been below 2%.

Among them, there is a slightly popular comic book adaptation whose animation received rave reviews after it was aired.

There are also movies like Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Before it aired, everyone said it must be a routine anime, and its ratings would be absolutely crazy.

But in fact, it was discovered after the work was aired.

This work is actually more interesting than imagined.

Although the world view of the work has not yet been developed, it is different from those previous magical girl animations that are black and white, facial makeup, and only rely on the cuteness and cuteness of the characters to attract people.

This animation first focuses on music

A lot of effort was put into it.

From the OP to the ED to the interlude, it can be said that each song is of higher quality than the last.

Then there is the picture

To be honest, the daily scenes in the animation are okay, but in the first episode after the protagonists accidentally entered the strange space, the painting style with a hint of horror and dark fairy tale is actually quite artistic if you look closely. Yes, it may seem uncomfortable at first glance, but the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.

There is also the plot. Compared with previous magical girl works, in the first episode of this work, the plot actually did not progress much. But at least I can lay out foreshadowing, dig holes, and set up suspense.

Coupled with the beauty of the characters, and the support of a large number of animation fans in Dragon Kingdom who suffer from the lack of such themes.

It ranks 21st in the ratings among summer animations, which surprises many people, but it is also reasonable.

After Puella Magi Madoka Magica was aired, the screenwriter of this work, as well as the creator of many episodes in the animation, "The Love Warrior", his popularity began to rise rapidly in the animation industry.

In the Jiuxiao Animation Forum, the number of fans of the certified account "Warrior of Love" surged from 13,000 to 460,000 in this week. In the comment area of ​​his account, there are also a large group of Dragon Kingdom animation fans commenting. "Soldier of Love" is the vest of a big shot in the animation industry.

Although it is rare in the Dragon Kingdom for a big boss to open a vest, it does happen. Many industry leaders, forced by the burden of becoming idols after becoming famous, open a newbie vest so that they can write novels, draw comics, and be screenwriters for games and animations.

Anyway, most animation fans don’t believe that the first episode of a magical girl-themed animation by a new animation writer has such a smooth and silky plot. The characters are all attractive, and there are no pitfalls that are easy to step on.

An animation does not require you to have a brilliant first episode or a plot that is not interesting, then it will basically surpass 80% of the competitors' works in the same period.

Like many TV stations in Dragon Country, although the first broadcast time of the programs they broadcast is determined, they are not broadcast only once. For example, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, because the ratings were okay after last week's broadcast, the TV station will broadcast the program in the following week.

It was replayed at 8:40 a.m. last Saturday, at 1:40 noon this Monday, and again at 1:40 noon on Thursday.

Chen Yunhai got up very late, but he still watched the first episode of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime on time at noon today.

After watching it again, he felt more and more strangely in the details of the plot.

I always feel that it is not as beautiful as shown in the plot. The creator has given some hints in many obscure places.

His main job is to run an animation peripheral store in Shanghai, and his side job is to be a well-known animation commentator in Shanghai. He wrote down his viewing notes in his personal account.

[After watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica: It is not like a cute magical girl-themed animation in the traditional sense. Perhaps the screenwriter "Survivor of Love" will show us some new ideas in the subsequent plot. 】

After the comment was posted, the number of views reached 20,000 in less than half an hour, and hundreds of people forwarded his casual note.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the second episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica starts on time.

The viewership rating of Modu TV1 before the broadcast was .1.4%, and it continues to rise.

At this moment, the first thing that the millions of viewers of Magic TV1 saw was Madoka Magica's cute and cute style, full of positivity, justice, and uplifting atmosphere, and the extremely deceptive op song.

The cartoon-rich Madoka room, the cute and lively Madoka daily life scenes, the magical girl transformation full of love and positive energy, Q Bei's cute and charming ignorant eyes, beautiful friendship, harmonious family, the girls are singing the praises of youth. .

These, in this animation, do not even appear in a single scene, they only exist in the op song.

In the parallel world, this OP was called the biggest fraud in the history of animation, and in the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yan followed the same example and produced a version with a very similar style.

Of course, for the current Magic Circle audience, this OP picture is paired with the background music of the anime song "Bond" of this work. In fact, many viewers have already felt a little excited after watching it.

The plot of the second episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is still mainly about setting up foreshadowing.

It continues to introduce Madoka’s daily family relationships, and then.

Because Madoka saved Q-be who was being hunted by Lin Xiaoyan, she met Q-be's friend, senior Tomoe Mami, and their relationship progressed quickly.

Q-be wanted Madoka and Shaye to become magical girls together, become Tomoe Mami's assistants, and then protect the city with her to eliminate the dark monster "witch" in the city.

Then, some settings were revealed in this episode.

For example, after signing a contract to become a magical girl, Q-be can help you realize a wish.

As soon as this setting came out, many viewers actually felt it was too perverted.

Universal wishing machine?

The price is to become a magical girl?

If any wish can really be fulfilled, let alone the girls, the old man at the entrance of the village probably won't care about his face and will also want to sign a contract to become a magical girl.

Then, becoming a magical girl will get a magic gem, and fight the witch by controlling the energy of the gem.

This setting is easy for everyone to understand.

It's the transformation device in those magical girl animations before.

Old setting.

Magical girls are born from their own wishes, and witches are born from curses.

Magical girls spread hope and fight for love and justice, while witches bring despair and terror to the world.

Make people's hearts fragile, and even produce extreme thoughts to commit crimes.

So the two existences are mortal enemies, incompatible with each other, and absolute enemies.

Humans cannot see witches, and witches lurk in the barrier. Only magical girls can touch and attack them.

So..

Through half an episode of the plot, the daily communication between Madoka, Shaye, Mami Tomoe and Q-bee, the audience roughly understands the setting of this work.

Because Madoka and Shaye are hesitant, Mami Tomoe proposes to take the two to participate in a few battles with witches, so that the two know the extent of the danger of fighting witches, and then let the two decide whether to become magical girls.

The relationship between Mami Tomoe, Madoka and Shaye, the friendship is developing rapidly, and Lin Xiaoyan's inexplicable concern and care for Madoka.

Why is she hostile to Q-bee?

And why does she always give Mami Tomoe face when she is against Mami Tomoe?

In the second episode, Mami Tomoe, Madoka, and Shaye encountered a witch's barrier, and the big boss Mami Tomoe led two rookie girls on a journey of bullying.

The result is of course obvious. The rookie witch was completely beaten by Mami Tomoe, and after being defeated, she turned into a seed of sorrow.

The seed of sorrow can purify the turbid breath produced by the soul crystals of the magical girls due to excessive use of magic power.

The plot of the second episode of Magical Girl Madoka Magica is still progressing slowly.

But the viewing experience of the audience is not bad, it's just that

the feeling of being in suspense all the time is uncomfortable.

In the comment area of ​​the "Warrior of Love" account.

"It's the second episode and she hasn't transformed into a magical girl yet. That's enough, teacher, stop talking about the plot. We just want to see Madoka transform."

"I feel that the magical girl-themed animation "Soldier of Love" is innovative. I think this animation is really interesting now."

"Although the plot seems to be progressing slowly, it's unexpectedly good. I can't stop watching it."

"So will she transform in the third episode?"

"That's for sure. I'll make a bold guess about the third episode. Tomoe Mami will abuse the witch, and then Lin Xiaoyan will come out to mess things up. In order to help Mami defeat the evil Lin Xiaoyan, Madoka and Shaye transform, and the three of them work together to repel Lin Xiaoyan."

"Soldier of Love: I'll give you the pen, you write it."

"Actually, I'm a little curious about the setting of magical girls making wishes. This kind of thing is really buggy. A universal wishing device, its use, just to become a magical girl, there is no other cost? Then shouldn't the whole world have been occupied by magical girls long ago? As long as someone wishes to destroy the world, or the universe explodes, then Everyone is done for."

"She is a magical girl, not a psychopath. How can a normal person make such a wish?"

"I am just discussing it. I always feel that this setting is not so simple. It is unscientific to get a universal wish opportunity without cost so easily."

"Anyone who discusses the word science in a magical girl animation must be a psychopath."

"The above, 6."

"The setting of this wishing machine is just that the screenwriter has not considered it clearly. The setting that the soul crystal of the magical girl will become turbid after using magic and then needs the seeds of sorrow from the witch being killed to purify it is very strange no matter how you look at it. Is this really a magical girl? The magical girl relies on the products of the witch's death to purify her own turbidity. It always feels funny. Shouldn't the magical girl purify the witch with love and justice?"

"That's true, but why do you take it so seriously when watching anime? Is Madoka not cute or is Tomoe Mami not handsome enough? Don't think too much, it's just an ordinary magical girl animation."
