I have always had a special fondness for Japan. As a person born in 1982, I was mainly exposed to "positive" information from Japan when I was a child. Unlike the post-85s and post-90s and post-00s, the sensible start was Nanjing. The massacre, the Diaoyu Islands and so on. But I can't explain why I have a special fondness for Japan. I am an authentic Chinese. I was born in China, grew up in China, and have a little relationship with Japan. I am the son of my grandfather's sister, from a Chinese diaosi. When I came to Japan, I became a rich and handsome man, married a Japanese wife, gave birth to a Japanese son, and became a Japanese.
But this has nothing to do with me, I am still me, and I still have to live a "hard" life in China. So why do you have a special affection for Japan? I have always been unclear why, but after watching this new work, I finally understand that it is because of the unique aesthetic that conforms to our East Asians. That kind of beauty is indescribable, but after watching it, I will have a unique favorable impression. , whether it is Japanese music or Japanese animation, it is the same.
Today's world is dominated by the West. When European and American animations are all moving towards 3D, Japan is still insisting on 2D. Many people say that 2D has no future, but the Japanese use practical actions to tell us that 2D still has potential to be tapped. Before the end, I kept fanning the faces of some people, including me. I thought that from the beginning of Blossom Story, the 2D picture should have reached the peak, and there is no potential, but the emergence of this work, Completely changed my mind. beautiful! It's so beautiful.
But how long can you hold on? Japan's technology tree is actually different from that of the West. It's the same for all walkmans and mobile phones, but the end result is that Japan fails, abandons its position, and fully caters to the West, from MD to MP3, from flip phones to touch-screen smartphones, if not If SONY owns Columbia Pictures, maybe the high-definition standard will hardly have anything to do with Japan. So with the US leading and the world turning to 3D animation, the technology is getting more and more mature and the efficiency is getting higher and higher, how long can 2D animation last? I hope that this unique aesthetic of composite East Asians will never disappear, and that there will be a place for him. I also hope that there will be more 2D animation people, guarding 2D technology, and exploring more potential of 2D animation.
