We're not talking about Sleeping Beauty and Snow White here, of course.

Chrysanthemum would like to talk to you about the development trend of commercial animation in the United States in recent years.

The so-called commercial animation is naturally an animation that is used to make money. The way to make money is nothing more than paid channels, advertising, selling portrait rights, selling peripherals, these means. If you're lucky, it can be adapted into a movie.

The United States is a million light-years behind Japan in this regard. Needless to say, just look at the percentage of Japan's GDP in the animation industry.

What is the concept of one in five?!

The United States is far from accounting for this proportion, and a fraction of it cannot catch up, and the market is not large. So in my opinion, American animators always have a bit of a sense of unprogress. After all, the oil and water are not high, and no one will play with this for their lives.

Coming and going is still the big super and the little bat, DC and Marvel, the positive and the avenger. This is the mainstream of the U.S. market, and it is also the bulk of the industry's profits.

Americans dare to think of anything if they want to say they have imagination, but if they want to say that they lack imagination, then there is absolutely no problem.

Green Lantern, a superhero who relies on imagination to fight, can get it, what else can't they think of? But they just can't seem to think of any script other than superheroes, and they are determined to save the earth, keep saving the earth, save once a day, and save for a century!

This topic can be expanded to talk about humanities, history, national personalities, etc., etc., etc., etc., and the sea is dry and rotten, but here we still ignore these and continue to talk about their anime.

Except for Lord Bruce Wayne, Chrysanthemum doesn't have any affection for other superheroes at all. Because in my opinion, "superheroes" are not heroes at all.

Come on, whether they have superpowers or not, and they are all superpowers that they have by accident. You didn't pay anything for this ability at all, okay. If I could fly, I would definitely save the female reporter who fell off the building, okay! You simply don't show that you have a moral quality that surpasses others.

Even if the bad guys have superpowers, it's just a fight between the gods, and it's a matter of ordinary people like me.

Only two or three non-super heroes led by Batman, Green Arrow, etc., can be regarded as a true demonstration of what a hero is.

It is only when you need to really give that you can see the true moral level of a person.

The president announced the rescue of refugees, so tens of thousands of people were saved, so what price did the president pay? No, because he just moved his mouth. Da Chao saved Luis, did he pay anything? Not only no, but he also soaked in this girl.

Is this greater than the man who digs for dozens of hours with his bare hands in the rubble to save a child?

It's not what he did, but what he paid for.

What touched me was not that he sent the clown to prison once and again. It's the scars he has after taking off his robe, and the backbone of climbing the city even if his back is broken.

If you've read DC Comics, you'll be just as moved by the image of the old man mending his cloak alone in the dim candlelight.

These are all off-topic. To get back to the point, due to the barrenness of the American imagination, a huge vacuum was created in this market, and Japan smelled the scent of green paper and began to land on the beach in the American market. The American animation that killed the crying father and shouting mother, for a while, the theme song of Sailor Moon could be heard on the road in the United States almost every day.

That's right, Sailor Moon! Can you imagine the stout men munching on burgers imitating their transformations?

Dragon Ball, Jojo, Pokemon, Eva, these are just the vanguards, and what really dealt a fatal blow to the American animation industry was an anime that I personally have reservations.

Naruto

It's a bit like what China was like back then, right? It's just that the Americans want to see that these things cost money, and they have to pay for them to Japan. And we can easily and quickly open the website, which episode to watch which episode to watch, see cool, see vomit.

Americans are so unhappy that they finally turn their attention to subjects other than superheroes, but it's very strange that despite Hollywood, there are screenwriters' unions, and countless good scripts are locked in cabinets waiting to rot, they can't write a beautiful animated script even if they die.

It stands to reason that the creation of animation scripts lacks the constraints of actors, photography, scenes, etc., and has reached the point where it can be played almost at will. But these five big and three rough men can't learn the delicate brushstrokes of the Japanese script, and they can't understand the details of the settings, and they didn't stick to two episodes before they started to save the earth and protect mankind again.

It's a zero-sum game, the winner takes all, the loser takes all, and almost loses. So they honestly went back to save the earth, or they went off the rails to make a southwind park.

But one of them is a not-so-settled Nick Animation, a company that has been making some early childhood films. Unwilling to be lonely, Nickelodeon Kids Channel tossed out an animation called Avatar: The Last Airbender.

This is a fantasy animation aimed at teenagers and children, and the background is very Chinese. The ratings are quite gratifying, so not long ago it was adapted into a live-action theater version, and the result was really miserable and a mess. Weird lines, weird narrative rhythm, weird character shapes, weird martial arts action. In short, everything a movie can mess up it all in. If you are interested, you can search for it, and those who have seen it will prove that I didn't lie to you・・・・・・・

That's not the point we're going to talk about, but the reason why I'm going to say this anime is because I see hope.

Just when I was despairing of the continuous decline of Japanese animation, the sequel to the Avatar gave me light again!

On the day when the Crown of Sins was over and I completely lost the motivation to live, I saw a legend on the Internet called the Legend of the Incarnation Avatar・・・・・・・

The image of the first part of the incarnation is still very good, and the plot is a little flawed, but you can see the screenwriter's efforts. The figures are obviously trying to get closer to the sun, and they look much more comfortable than the previous abstract painting style. The fight in the final two episodes is eye-catching, at least in my opinion, it has the potential to compete with Japan.

At that time, I was already like a walking corpse, and numbly clicked on the sequel to this animation.

Wait a minute! What is it?!

This is something made by the big men in the United States?!

This sharp painting style! This energetic girl! This delicate background! That's a super high frame rate!

Isn't this really a Japanese-made, American-branded Xibei goods?!

The plot that follows tells me that this is really something that Americans tossed out, and the typical fast-paced narrative makes each episode contain a lot of information about a season of Naruto. That's right, I'm not exaggerating, it's the fastest narrative paced anime I've ever seen, typical of Uncle Sam's taste.

The plot is still a little stiff, and the specific feeling is that the turn is relatively blunt, and the relationship between the characters changes a little suddenly.

Have you watched the first episode of the heroine's appearance, the second episode staring at Kaizi, the third episode kissing, the fourth episode of contradictions, the fifth episode of the third appearance of the boss appearance, and so on This kind of storytelling animation? The protagonist has fought with the boss four or five times in a season, and there are three or four brawls of various sizes in each episode, in short, there is not a moment for you to be idle.

Do you know how cool it is?!

If you change to the three major migrant workers, you may not be able to finish a boss in one season, and you can't clean up a miscellaneous soldier in one episode!

Do you know how cool I am by now?!

Regardless of the plot, this is also the animation with the most frame rates of fights I've seen outside of theater animation. Every move is clear, crisp and neat, and the movements are so fast and beautiful that I wonder if they have a martial arts instructor.

Here, I want to do a little science popularization to some students who have not watched anime for a long time.

What does it mean to have fast fighting action?

Dragon Ball Death like that? Brush it to this point, brush it to get there again, and fight with Frieza for 100 million punches in a second?

That's not fast, that's unscrupulous money-saving.

Each frame of animation costs money, but the producers charge according to the number of frames they get in a day. If every punch and kick is expressed in three or four frames, it is an endless burning of money.

So it simply became a brush teleportation, and you can't even see my movements, fast enough, right?

But Kra Legend did every fight to the full number of frames, and even achieved a surround perspective in the process of fighting with a few miscellaneous soldiers, and the camera rotated 360 degrees around the four or five characters in the fight, and every move made you see clearly.

It's so cool that my eye sockets are instantly incontinent?!

I grabbed my friend's hand and said to him with tears in my eyes: If the United States dares to continue to develop this momentum, Japan will import American animation in a few years. The Murray nut is the hope of my humanity! It saves a fallen soul who has been lost in the path of life!

That's why I'm writing this messy text.

In summary, American animation has a trend of rising, and interested students can pay attention to it. The second part of the incarnation supernatural power is built yì Let's take a look, maybe it also fits your taste.

The first part can be watched or omitted, but the fights in the last two episodes are worth watching.

Finally, the crown of sin, built yì everyone to see.

There is no other reason, just to satisfy Chrysanthemum's personal bad taste. (Death will drag a few ・・・・・・・・)

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Lelouch is nearing completion, so students don't have to worry about TJ's problems.

Chrysanthemum is polishing the previous text as she writes. But these complaints I wrote are not saved, I wrote them and passed them on, if there are any typos, please bear with me.

Still welcome to point out.
