Now getting to the topic, I haven't watched the animation for a long time, and I accidentally remembered the "Soul Eater" that my classmates mentioned before, so I took a look at it. I admit, I feel a little positive after watching it, but to be honest, that's all. As far as the animation itself is concerned, I think it is not good enough, it can only be regarded as a second-line and third-line animation.
First of all, the main contradiction of the film is very scattered, only know that there is such a school that trains what kind of students, and what do they do. And it's this "what to do" that limits the plot. These students kill bad guys, get their souls, and then kill a big monster to upgrade their weapons. Anyway, they just get an order. They don't feel like students, but like salesmen. There are not many 99+1s, so what if the merits are consummated? Are all the craftsmen Stein? Weapons are all Sublime? Not to mention so far ahead. . . . . . . . The beginning is to kill mobs, which is nothing, but these mobs do not belong. The author does not want to use this premise to lay a foreshadowing in itself. It is an innovation, but it depends on how it goes, but it doesn't go well. After killing and killing, a Medusa appeared, but this Medusa dived not long after she showed her face. Later, she dived to the death martial arts school as a teacher, which was also an event, and then brought out an Asura. At this time, Medusa also Died, and this Asura is also a character who has no subordinates in this episode. Of course, Medusa is not dead, but to continue to be the main contradiction, I am afraid it will not be done right away. Writing this, the author has completely cut his own way (perhaps he just wanted to). Then, another force was unprovoked - Spider Fear. After a few episodes of Spider Fear, Asura was brought out, and the Medusa forces were reorganized. Adding a death martial arts school can be described as "a group of heroes competing for a deer". ", the author even arranged some unreal, intriguing plots, plus a good show that combines vertical and horizontal, or dark Chencang. Wow! You've seen it compared to "Spring and Autumn" and "Spring and Autumn", compared to "Zuo Zhuan" and "Zuo Zhuan", everyone except yourself is the enemy, and the main contradiction is now over.
Another big problem is that there is no connotation. In fact, films of the type like exorcism and gods and demons are very good at showing the connotation, values, and some thought-provoking information that the author wants to express, but this animation. . . Not saying there isn't, just not enough (not even The Exorcist). How to calculate the degree of not enough, this has to mention the mechanical sense of the work. When it comes to the mechanical sense, the mistakes of this animation are largely due to being too mechanical, even including the first point I said.
The main contradiction is scattered, but there are also scattered expressions. I think it can be set to achieve a few forces first, and then perform a detailed interpretation. Maybe the author has this idea, but it may not be able to continue for various reasons (news It was said that the Japanese response to the animation was mediocre), and it had to end in haste. What caused it to fail? Of course, the previous ones are not ideal. I don't want to say much about the character image setting, but the personalities of some characters are directly related to the comedy effect of the whole play, which is really not flattering. Extreme character flaws, rashness, pursuit of perfection, fear of ghosts, half-crazy, etc., everything is expressed too deliberately and obviously - contrived, I have a feeling of watching the Spring Festival Gala sketches, I believe that normal people will not feel this kind of "morbid humor" interested. Even those non-comedy characters, such as Gulona, are themselves an exclusive character that can be used to express their thoughts, so to speak, but not only is there not, but the character is too expressive, and it is a bit unsympathetic and annoying. And the villain Asura is also a character used in this type of anime to express thought-provoking topics. Yes, there are some related content, but whether it is Medusa or Asura, the author portrays it very clearly in the form of preaching, even if there are The meaning is also greatly reduced, what's more, the meaning is very superficial.
The author thinks a lot, wants to play complicated, wants to play Shensui, and wants to play comedy, but unfortunately, his skills are not enough. But this seems to be the author's first work, so it's okay to have it.
