Chapter Ninety-Nine: Divine Crafts and Poison

"Is the Ancient City Thorn King over like this, I was really caught off guard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The progress of the work itself has already indicated that it is about to end.,After all, a work like this, which strictly restricts the stage or location where the story takes place.,It's impossible to carry out a super long serialization.,After the heroine and her party enter the final area of the ancient city,It means that the work is about to end......"

"So there's nothing unexpected about this, what is really unexpected is that I didn't expect the ending of the work to be like this! Who would have thought that the heroine who has been at the center of the team activities of the work, the sister Xiaoxia among the twins, has already died, and now she is just a copy. ”

"One thing I don't understand, aren't the twins on the edge of the cliff agreeing to live together? Why did Xiaoxia commit suicide? ”

"Something to say, didn't you? Please take a good look at the work, this matter was clearly explained later, the real Xiaoxia didn't make any agreement at all, and strictly speaking, although she has a desire to die, it can't be counted as suicide, but death in an accident......"

The main reason for her sudden desire to die is that she is one of the 160 people who were chosen, but her sister was disqualified during the selection event, and after losing her parents, she will lose her sister again, and in the eyes of the real Xiaoxia, no one can live under Medusa. So she didn't want to live alone at all, what she wanted was to die with her sister. ”

"Agree with the above point of view, but my sister still hopes that my sister can live in the end, even if it is only one person, so she hopes that her sister can cherish the opportunity to enter the frozen capsule that she finally gets, but Xiaoxia's personality is gloomy and shows that he feels desperate, so in the process of arguing with her sister, this accidentally fell into suspense, and then her death directly induced her sister's mental rampage."

"This is all based on my sister's imagination that she doesn't accept reality and hopes that her sister can come back to life."

"As for the scene where the two sisters agreed to live together and pull the hook, it was just a false memory instilled in the replica after the sister went berserk, and there are detailed explanations in these works, right?"

"Before, I always wondered why Xiaoxia's personality difference was so obvious before she entered the freeze and after she woke up, and I thought it was a bug in the author's setting or that the time they spent in the frozen capsule was enough for Xiaoxia's personality to change fundamentally......

"Now it seems that there is nothing strange about this, although it has been instilled with memories, although it is a replica, but different people are different people, and now it seems that this is a matter of course, but if I hadn't seen the end of such an unfolding, I wouldn't have guessed it anyway."

"And looking at it now, the dinosaur-like monsters that appear in the story are actually the embodiment of the fugitive team's own fantasies, and they are really self-inflicted escapes and battles."

"The main composition of Amber Hayami, who served as the original story, really did a good job, and it's really hard to imagine that he can be so proficient in navigating all kinds of themes and genres."

"Yes, yes, when the new work was serialized, there was no rumor at all, when did their level of secrecy be so high?

"Why haven't you seen the single book of the ancient city of the King of Thorns? I really started chasing this manga after ME started serializing, and I didn't see the plot I encountered when I was in Summerelle before......"

"Why don't you sell a single book? Who knows what's going on, is it because the ancient city of Thorn King is too niche? ”

"Niche? No, so many people like it. ”

Well, this answer is not convincing, and those who can gather in this post in the forum are of course people who like the ancient city of Thorn King, objectively speaking, is the distribution of the reader sample of the ancient city too incomplete?

But no matter what, the work itself and the ending like that can still be accepted by readers.

In short, the end of the ancient city of the King of Thorns has attracted attention and discussion on the forum, and after reading this work, many readers who like this kind of work have caused a topic in the back of the forum, and they have also left their good wishes.

"I hope to be able to see wonderful works similar to the ancient city of the King of Thorns as soon as possible."

"I feel the same way!"

"I hope that after the comic version of the ancient city is over, the Hibiscus Society can release a single book of the work as soon as possible, and it will definitely get a full set at that time!"

"I feel the same way!"

"I hope to see the works after the animation as soon as possible.,When the time comes, if the song is the TV version of the ancient city, I'll start with the full-volume animation.,If it's a theatrical version of the animation.,I'll contribute to the box office!"

"Agreed."

"I hope I can really meet Medusa like the one in the story, and I want to experience such an adventure story."

"Same ...... Forehead? Forget about this, don't follow the second middle school, you can fantasize about it yourself......"

Of course, fans and otaku don't know that the theatrical version of the ancient city of Thorns is in full swing at this time, but unfortunately, the theatrical version that is being produced now is not an animated theater, but a live-action theater.

And the release of the single-line collection of all six volumes of comics will have to wait until the theater version of the ancient city of Thorns is released.

Because it is a carte blanche of copyright, the Hibiscus Society does not know what the production progress and quality of the theatrical version of the ancient city of Thorn King is.

But as for the theatrical version of the animation of the former ancient city of the King of Thorns, it actually got a special evaluation - "One step forward is a masterpiece, and one step back is poison".

This is the evaluation given by some readers or viewers to the ancient city of Thorn King produced by Sunrise.

On the whole, the ancient city is a story with a rich story and structure that is perfect for a theatrical animation, but the problem is that it is too rich in storytelling.

In the era when the original ancient city of Thorn King Theater was broadcast, many theatrical animations were assembly line works in which the production company thoroughly pursued profits.

Crafted? I'm sorry, but many animation companies don't have such an attitude at all.

Therefore, many theatrical animations are because of the "circle of money works" after the TV hit.,Even the theatrical version is just a recomposition of TV animation.,A little conscientious is to forcibly insert another story in the TV animation story that has ended.。

Will there be any contradictions between such a story and many of the settings of the work itself, let's not talk about it.,Generally, this kind of consumption-oriented animation for inherent fans,Basically, it is inevitable that there is a problem of thin story and observability.。

So in many cases, the true fans of a certain work, after watching the so-called theatrical version, immediately turn black, which is not without any reason.

And the situation faced by the work of the ancient city of Thorn King is just the opposite.,Because of the willingness of the funds,Sunrise must compress the rich plot content to less than 100 minutes.,Such a time limit.,This time limit has led to many parts of the animation There are problems in connection or undertaking.。

And the most criticized part of this is that the beginning of the work is too lengthy foreshadowing, the official plot is only 100 minutes, and the first 20 to 30 minutes are constantly foreshadowing and background statements of the work, but it has not entered the main content for a long time.

This may be just to better unfold the story later, but in fact, the oppressive atmosphere is too unpleasant, and the grinding makes the audience lose patience.

Therefore, to retain the essence of the original work, to make a series of commercialized adjustments to details, and to control the rhythm, time, and emotional tone, this kind of secondary creation of the script and script is really not something that ordinary people can do well.

The final ending of the work of the ancient city of Thorn King is still depressing.

After the collapse of the ancient city, most of the plot characters ended up with death, and in the end, only the clone Xiaoxia and the little boy who had not been completely solved in the end were the only ones who survived.

There is depression in death, and there is hope after survival, but fortunately, Xiaoxia, who is a clone, survived in the end.

Of course, the story is actually more depressing, that is, everyone has been living in the fantasy of their sister from beginning to end, and no one has survived...... This argument is too shady to be convincing even among loyal fans.

The serialized version of the ancient city of the King of Thorns fully considered the unannounced aspects of the theatrical version and the comic version, and made a trade-off.

For example, in the theatrical animation, the parents of the twin characters died of Medusa's petrification, so the gloom of the real Xiaoxia is more understandable, and their parents in the comics are indeed alive, so the animation method is adopted here.

For example, in the original comics, Xiaoxia's first suicide was not to cut her wrists but to cut her throat, and her wounds were also on her neck instead of her wrists...... However, considering the receptivity of readers and audiences, as well as the parts that are not suitable for filming, the animation was changed to cut wrists.

So in the current version, it's also a cut wrist instead of a throat cut.,After all, it was serialized in a shoujo manga for a period of time at the beginning.,The shoujo manga shows a storyboard like a throat cut...... This is a bit too exciting, and probably most readers will not accept it, so I have chosen a more relaxed approach.

Ten years later, many people's evaluation of the ancient city of Thorn King is subtle and stuck between the masterpiece and the poison, but considering the current period, the originality and originality of the story, that kind of strange brain hole, or it can really become a masterpiece in the minds of some readers.

If there is only a plot without imagination, the work can only be willing to be mediocre, and if there is only a brain hole without a plot, the work is just a delusional poison, and the combination of the two is the basis for producing a masterpiece.

But in any case, the ancient city of Thorn King, a work with near-future science fiction and suspense, has come to an end in the discussion of readers.

As for the new work after the end......

According to the wishes of the readers of the mystery and suspense fans, a new suspense mystery comic will be released?

I'm sorry, this part of the readers is probably going to be disappointed, in fact, Miyahara Shizune has already made up her mind to "abandon" this genre, not really abandoned, but to reduce the number and proportion of this genre in the weekly shonen ME, it is imperative.

After all, Weekly Shonen ME is not a special mystery magazine, but an orthodox weekly shonen magazine that pursues sales, so now that the rival Miura Shosho has surrendered, some atypical special measures on the side of Hibiscus must also be terminated.

So what is the new work used to replace the ancient city of Thorn King? Miyahara had already thought about it before.

The battle manga that best sells well? Well, that's not true.

The work that succeeded the ancient city of the King of Thorns is a new work that is completely different from its genre and style, and it is also a genre that is relatively missing on ME: love funny comics.

For the sake of LOVE &PEACE, in order to bring the joy that their readers deserve...... Okay, it's all.,Anyway, Miyahara Shizune decided to add a comic work of love, funny and a micro harem to ME.

Basically, the new story looks like this:

One day in the summer, Manchao Nagasumi, an "ordinary" junior high school student who followed his parents from Saitama to his grandmother's house on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, was going to swim in the sea when he suddenly encountered a bizarre incident of cramping his feet in the deep water.

But at the critical moment when he almost drowned, a girl with long light brown hair happened to save him.

But there are doubts about the identity of the girl, because in the Manchao Yongcheng vaguely saw the girl's pink fishtail between his consciousness and not waking up.

Humanoid, fishtail, this is the legendary mermaid.

Manchao was rescued, then thrown on the beach, and when he woke up and returned to his grandmother's house, he described to his parents what had happened today, and insisted that he had been rescued by a mermaid when he drowned.

But his parents, who didn't believe his crazy words at all, had a miserable mixed doubles on him.

However, at this time, in this place, the girl appeared again.

It turned out that her name was Seto Can, and her identity was indeed a mermaid living in the Seto Inland Sea, as the Manchu Dynasty said.

In the world of comics, all kinds of fantasy species, as long as they can be imagined, she can exist, and what is a mermaid.

What's more, the girl Seto Can is not just a simple mermaid, her identity is somewhat special - she is the only daughter of the boss of the underworld organization "Setouchi Fish United Seto Group......

Well, the name of this very domineering underworld organization doesn't need to be complained about for the time being, in fact, the name is quite normal in this work.

The information that Seto brought with him was crucial: according to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the Seto merfolk, if the merfolk were seen by humans, they would only be executed......

So in order to find a way that neither side had to die, the Manchu family was taken into the deep sea by the Seto-gumi......

Through a simple description, it can be found that this new comic is actually slowly becoming a routine.
