Until later, I saw an inventory post on WeChat, saying that "Chaos Warrior" is really super nice. I just found out that this is the anime that I fell in love with at first sight.
So began the arduous process of watching this film on LeTV (super slow). The process is of course a pleasure.
Then I found that a lot of people really like this, although this anime is really quite niche. It's an old movie from ten years ago. There are even fewer girls to see.
There are many people who have rightly commented that the music and visual effects of this anime are amazing (it was indeed an anime officially recommended by Japan at the time), but the flaw is the lack of storytelling. . .
But I don't think everyone's anime needs to be so curvy. Sometimes it's okay for some people to be frank. It's a matter of different styles. Although I also admit that the stronger the story, the better.
All in all, I started watching it after I got to know it a little more.
Sure enough... the music is very awesome, hippop style, suitable for background during fights, with a strong sense of rhythm, the style of the whole anime is like a big hippop collection of bizarre.
Very street, very violent, very unpredictable. These places are also the places where the director's characteristics are reflected. How powerful is it to achieve this level, it is a rhythm that doesn't care about anything. Self-indulgence is probably how this anime gave me. Japanese pop culture is very straightforward. That kind of arrogant emotion, the feeling of living without fear and without any burden. Really cool.
Of course, this is only one side. If you are simply stupid, you will not be able to conquer most people. After all, you still have to be careful.
The side of walking is also very remarkable. In other words, it is more suitable for a rhythm that is not so sad and happy, and he is hesitant in terms of emotions. Disdain to say it, or do not need to say it. I think it's probably the latter. Speaking of which, it is still very oriental. Regarding feelings, ego, and inner pain, they are all indifferent or very internal things, which do not need to be borne by others, but the mutual trust has not diminished in any way. And inadvertently into the deep into the anime. Such a light-hearted description, there is no deliberate exaggeration and sensationalism at all, you can watch and watch, and you seem to be one of these three people. I have trust and expectations for them, no matter what the outcome and process are, I hope they will always be together. It's like he doesn't want to be separated from someone he cherishes.
But no tears, no pain. when they finally parted. No matter how many wonderful things have been experienced before, no matter how long we have been together, no matter whether we are partners of fate or not. They didn't cry at the last moment of separation, sorry.
In fact, the so-called ending is not the real ending. Life is so long, and meeting you is like a sunflower on the roadside, so brilliant and arrogant. Struggling together to bloom under the sky seems to be the meaning of travel.
Of course a lot of people didn't like the ending. After all, it's not a big reunion, (in fact, it can't be a big reunion, it seems that it can't be 3P). Under normal circumstances, in order to give the audience an explanation, it seems that the character's emotional direction should also be explained. This anime seems to keep explaining the direction...because, this is not Mary Sue at all. . The female protagonist seems to be an existence that is constantly disliked by the two male protagonists. And the two male protagonists are not guarding characters. One is either ruthless or passionate about women (of course only passionate about certain things.. and always being plotted for it...), and the other is quiet, and explodes at certain times (yes, I'm talking about glasses The male protagonist Ren, they are all goods that go to brothels as soon as they have money). Therefore, you can't see any communication between men and women in these three people, so although the three people have constant scandals during the journey, they are clean with each other. This seems to be the most unacceptable slot for most audiences. .
Of course, the wind seemed to hesitate between the two. I'm not sure which one I like better (although it's not her turn to choose...), in the end...the spectacle guy told her: もしprivate...but the wind said sorry to him (because there was no illusion), and then Throwing into his arms (this is the only ambiguous physical contact...) Wuhuan's love for women is more of appreciation, or purely physical needs. But he should also have feelings for Feng, after all, it is an existence that can die alone for her. Wind, for Wuhuan and Ren, seems to be a moral existence. It's a woman who belongs to two men, but also a woman who can't be shot by both of them. So in the last episode, they both want each other to save the wind.
However, in the end, the three people who were destined to be unable to explain them parted ways and embarked on their own journeys. It was a tear gas for most people.
But the anime does not particularly highlight the emotions of life and death. The three walked towards their future in the warm sunshine, smiling, surrounded by the fragrance of happy sunflowers.
In fact, encounter is not for the end together. Staying together or something, maybe each other's hearts will gradually rot and lose their original intentions in the desire to occupy. The encounter is just to find something in each other, and they both found something of their own. This is very satisfying. Thinking of these two guys, thinking that there is such an experience in my life, and such a partner, such a warm feeling, is a life worth living.
Three lonely people, people with their own past, people with pain, found someone who could give their lives for each other during a journey... It can be called friendship, or it can be called a more complex existence. Not just friendship, but also love, appreciation, tacit understanding, and something like loyalty. This is a luxury in most people's lives. In such a chaotic world, they did not tell each other about their past, but they developed to the point where they could even give up their own lives in order to save the other party. No one cracked, no one exposed. Peace of mind, and accustomed to it.
At the end of the agreed journey, the three young people who still have their own future will experience more things. When we broke up, everyone changed a lot (I feel that this is the meaning of the whole anime, not to give a dead end, but to give a new warm start!). Especially Wuhuan, the clothes changed, and the whole person seemed warmer. Ren...will still meet more girls, will still drink honestly, be taciturn, and live with the integrity of the last samurai. As for Feng (who worries about her the most), she is warm and enthusiastic, she can work part-time anywhere, and she will never gain weight hahaha. Hope she can meet a better man than Wuhuan.
In other words, I am still too emotional, how can I use such a large amount of space to write the love story of three people! ?
The core of an anime shouldn't just be gathered around the plot. From the perspective of various elements of animation, we can see the degree of development of Japanese animation. In each individual ingredient, there are people who have done exceptionally well in style, not only masters of various types but also solid staff, stable industry chains and industry rules. It's an industry, it's art, and it can also promote the culture of one's own nation. It's so handsome.
It is worth mentioning that this anime still has a certain foundation in history (if you hadn’t read Japanese history before, you wouldn’t understand it very well), it mentioned the genre of kendo, the black ship to sail (actually a spoof), the Shimabara chaos, Miyamoto Musashi, as well as the persecution of Catholics by the shogunate, and other real events in Japanese history. It is not simply based on a chaotic time and space. And what would I say, the mess is where the creativity comes in. Street graffiti, hippop, baseball, body painting, these very postmodern things that kill Matt are also very naturally integrated into this anime. It has produced a unique effect. People unconsciously have some wild speculations about the Edo period hahaha.
All in all, full marks! ! Sure enough, I will continue to support Shinichiro Watanabe, although I still hear a lot of people complain that he has lost his integrity recently. And sure enough, I'm still listening to the soundtrack. The soundtrack is good, and I know a little bit more about hip-pop ~ a happy new discovery.
The long-cherished wish is over, and I will work harder! OK くぞ!
