"steins; gate": a novelty of science fiction for tech nerds

Since the freshman year, I have hardly watched an animation in its entirety, but I recently learned that the dog blood Naruto will be finished within half a year, so I am looking forward to this work that will be broadcast when I enter the house and not finished until I leave the house. End tmd soon! Looking forward to the ruffian (note 1) when the god horse can repair the already very confusing system of EVA, so that people can understand what tmd Asuka's last sentence "really disgusting" means god horse? Looking forward to the sixteenth episode of psycho-pass to subvert all the previous plots. This is going to be supernatural~ During the Chinese New Year, I was bored and unearthed two 2011 animation industry annual works - "Magic Girl Madoka" and "steins; gate".
It is said that Madoka will get an unprecedented shock in the tenth episode as long as she survives the first nine episodes, so I chased the tenth episode in one breath despite everyone's powerful mental torture that was harmless, childish and clichéd. Later, I found that the shock that was waiting at the end was a little bit, but it was not so obvious, because after dealing with the ruffians for so many years, I had already been numb to the ambush, and only from the perspective of the plot, Miao Yuan's foreshadowing buried a full 9 episodes but only left the foreshadowing for the remaining 3 episodes (Lao Xu (Note 2) If you want to learn the ruffian, I don't eat that set), so the place worth textual research is The explosion in the next three episodes made me realize that foreign research parties are all monsters. They can find out the details that appear in the whole animation, and tell you magical girl, witch, greif seed, walpurgis night, The design prototypes of the soul gem are interconnected and the origin and history of every girl who crosses the times when Hei Changzhi fights against wn and the shadow of Yuanshen when he disintegrates wn, can be described as delicate and terrifying. . . But such a dense amount of information failed to impress me, because for me, who grew up watching Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's slender painting style, the character design was flawed! It is worth mentioning that the world view composed of concepts such as heat death, the second law of thermodynamics, entropy, and causal lines is very novel, and I think the most awesome thing in the whole article is the deconstruction-based sentence "You will always act. The concept of destroying the witch is fixed in the universe", Madoka's hope is strictly based on this concept, while the previous despair is based on the triangular relationship between QB-Magic Girl-Witch, Madoka finally changed The whole circular structure has established a more scientific world structure and realized a socialist society in the true sense. . .
Well, let’s go too far, in fact, the plot of Madoka can be explained in "steins; gate" (hereinafter referred to as sg) - Xiaoyan countless time leaps to the α world line to save Madoka, but after all, it can't change Xiaoyan The established fact that the circle will die (why? Because sg's worldview is based on determinism), how does the divergence (rate of change) of the world line change but because of its constrictive alpha the world line eventually leads to the result that the small circle dies , but in the end, Madoka changed the entire world line to the world line of Yuanshen with a wish based on the fourth dimension. The power of Madoka lies in the fact that the story is based on deconstructionism at the end, and the power of sg lies in the fact that the simple sci-fi viewing is gorgeous~
sg is a love story to be precise, and it is essentially a time-travel drama, but this tmd is not like a certain The brain-dead domestic drama goes to which era and then the whole story has nothing to do with the concept of time-travel. The story of sg is based on time-travel, but the entire development of the plot is based on the process of time-travel itself! In the first ten episodes, the novel worldview constructed by physical and medical terms such as Kerr's black hole, floater, jelly man, D-mail, and hippocampus was unreasonable. It was also ten episodes. After sg survived some boring foreshadowing, In the last fourteen episodes, the alpha and beta world lines, divergence, world line constriction, dystopia, time leap, etc. are used in conjunction with the plot to clarify the various incomprehensions buried before, especially for the first episode. It is exquisite, the plot and the feelings of the characters in the whole play exploded perfectly under the accumulation of long enough time. sg's sci-fi theory is partly based on quantum physics, and partly based on the self-creation of Okabe, a self-proclaimed second-class tech house (how does it feel like someone?). Although the grandmother paradox (Note 3) has not been completely avoided, sg does have a relatively rigorous view of science fiction. In my opinion, this is the most important and basic point of an excellent science fiction work.
The sci-fi view of sg is based on the world line and the four keywords of D-mail, time leap, and time travel. If it was originally in the α world line, when time leap or time travel to the past changes a certain factor that determines the development of the world line, if This will cause the change rate of the world line to be greater than 1%, and the phenomenon of jumping from the α world line to the β world line will occur. Due to the constriction of the world line, if the change rate of the world line is less than 1%, even if it is changed to another one The world line, but some things on this world line will not change because of this change. For this reason, this kind of world line that is attributed to the same result in different ways is called a world line system. This collection is in the play. is called the alpha/beta world line.
And sg started to use these magical theories to create invisible suspense when you didn't even know them at all, but you won't really understand what these suspense are until 22 episodes. Before the labman developed the time leap, the whole drama The timeline is moving forward, and after that, Xiezhen embarked on a step-by-step road of eliminating the circle of friendship, family affection and love (see looper (note 4) for the semantics), but in the end he still had to meet The difficult choice of the dilemma, just when we thought whether this is the end, the most touching and thrilling action of eliminating the ring in the whole chapter brought the drama to an end. The emotional line of the characters and the world line go hand in hand, and when you reach the 22nd episode, you will be surprised to find that in fact, the trend of the world line since the first episode has been included in a large circle. The symmetry of the plot structure and the suspense structure makes sg's nonlinear narrative and Hollywood's god-level blockbuster have a match.
The emotional line of the characters is also very good. The second-level technology like fierce real is also a wonderful flower in the second dimension that has entered the matriarchal society. I think the real driving force for me to decide to watch this drama may be last year. In the experience of the mechanical innovation competition, we also rented a room and set up our own lab like a fierce one. Although the overall experience was not as dramatic as that of sg, it was still unforgettable. The setting of Kurisu reminds me of Asuka in Eva that I have been chasing for ten years. After all, they are all arrogant. After watching Eva's god-level fan re-take (Note 5), I finally discovered Asuka In Eva's indelible role, the retake's crossing took place after eoe, and the ending is really warm and touching for fans who have been devastated by ruffians for many years. In the process of achieving such a healing ending, you will understand that Asuka’s psychological desire is essentially similar to that of Ayanami, but the way of expressing her feelings is close to the opposite of Ayanami, so the change in Asuka’s attitude towards Shinji will make people chasing idol dramas. The thrill of arrogance proves that the dramatic tension of arrogance is far greater than that of gentle drama. It's just that these attributes don't seem to be within the scope of the expression of the ruffian's works, and we often forget that Shinji is the real protagonist. The relationship between Kurisu and Kurisu is far closer to reality than the relationship between Asuka and Shinji, so the relationship between Kurisu and Kurisu is also one of the places where sg shines. In addition, the voice of Mayuri's cv Hanazawa Coriander is also the highlight of this drama. It's really a technical house version of the laboratory we stayed together in those years~ I really think that the animation awards in 2011 should all be awarded to sg instead of Madoka, who is exquisite in pictures and hints.

The last thing I want to say is that in recent years, the best-selling works in the animation industry have created a parallel world travel wind. "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "When the Cicadas Cry" and the above two works are basically parallel worlds and travel through the wind. As a gimmick, Haruhi Suzumiya's shameless eight episodes are all trapped in the same time period, so there is no need to save money. . . . . . Also, Eva Q, which was released on November 17, 2012, also had a soft time travel, but this time it was 14 years later. As expected of the director who has stayed in the G company, the ruffian does not put the golden signboard created by himself. Smashing is never giving up. In the final words of the ruffian, how to use a rigorous sci-fi view to fill the hole he dug is quite exciting. Judging from the trend of eva's new theatrical version title from red to orange and then blue, this time The ending should be to clear the clouds and see the sun~ Although we all know the urine of the ruffian, this is absolutely impossible. . . . . .

ps: Later, it was found that the grandmother paradox was placed in sg. Maybe it can be solved like this: If the person who wants to travel back to the past to kill the grandmother is in a known world line, then he can go back and kill the grandmother. The established world line must not be in the same world line as this known world line. From sg, we can even get the assumption that a person who wants to kill his grandmother can travel back in time, but will be affected by various The paradox of factors preventing him from killing his grandmother is a paradox in itself. sg's amazing ending can also be regarded as the application of this assumption~
In addition, the reason why this comic comment is written in the above way is because there is a very important principle for writing this kind of comic comment: spoilers, that is Absolutely not.


Notes: 1: Anno Hideaki, director and screenwriter of EVA in the 1990s. He is affectionately called "ruffian" by anime fans because of the director's characteristic of only digging holes and not filling them in Eva. Since the 1970s, the Japanese animation industry has had as many creators and works as crucian carp crossing the river. But there are not many that really shocked and left a deep impact: from "Space Battleship Yamato", "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Lucky Star Boy", to the EVA boom in the 1990s. By this time, all types of works, all types of ideas and worldviews seem to have been tried, and some people even call this era "the end of animation". After entering the 1990s, many animation fans were asking, "Where is the masterpiece of our generation?" The "Neon Genesis Evangelion" (hereinafter referred to as EVA) in 1995 finally gave everyone an answer. Whether you like it or hate it, the power of EVA's whirlwind in the animation industry may be no less than that of Gundam back then; and the boom caused by Japan and China, Hong Kong and Taiwan has almost become a social phenomenon. And the supervision of this work: Anno Hideaki, just like the super bright characters that must be found in every EVA title, is deeply engraved in the animation history of Japan in the 1990s...
2: Lao Xu, namely Xu Yuan Xuan, Is a very creative writer. NitroPlus is a heretic in the GALGAME industry. The company's games never use a simple eroge as a selling point (the eroge is just an embellishment), instead, it is replaced by an amazing script and gorgeous writing interspersed in the game. Someone once said that watching NitroPlus's game text can produce the same pleasure as taking drugs, and it is the company's treasure of the town house - the ghost Xu Yuanxuan who created these extreme plots. Xu Yuanxuan's works are full of rich literary atmosphere, romantic and radical. Compared with KID's former chief writer Takoshi Kotaro, Xu Yuanxuan creates a first-class atmosphere and smooth writing. (Kotaro Hitachi is good at academic and theoretical descriptions, while Xu Yuanxuan is better at psychological descriptions.) Xu Yuanxuan likes to add "ketchup" and "jelly plots" to "seemingly poignant love stories" (for details, see "Song of Saya", eating human flesh is as comfortable as eating jelly).
3: If one does "go back in time" and kills one's grandmother before his grandmother conceives his mother, would the time traveler himself still exist? The question is obvious, without your grandmother, without your mother, without your mother, without you, without you, how do you "go back in time" and kill yourself before his grandmother conceives his mother grandmother.
4: looper: "Loop Messenger". The reincarnation movie co-starred by Jonghy Joseph and Lao Bu is one of the more worth watching movies in 2012.
5: EVA Fanbook, the plot follows the ending of the theatrical version, with the theme of "rescue", as the movie of the theatrical version. Completing the ending. In a word, it's like an EVA version of the story of Ewha and Yuri (what am I talking about) The following spoilers are a little bit "table plot": Shinji, who was rescued from Dirac's sea in the battle of the 12 Apostles, suddenly got a The memory of everything that happened in the future, so as his actions changed, a story completely different from the TV version/theatrical version began. . . . . . Healing system ending.

  • Kurisu Makise: It feels like time is passing so quickly. Damn you, Einstein! Your science is crowding in on our kiss! He was right. The passage of time depends entirely on where you're standing. Relativity Theory... it's so romantic. But it's just so tragic too.

  • Suzuha Amane: Everyone gets help from someone else at some point in their lives. So someday, you should help someone too.
