Chapter 7: The Black Death Meets the Golden Goblin (2)
The creators of Japanese-style animation and manga have played a key role in the resurgence or popularity of some European subcultures. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In particular, certain costume cultures.
The costumes of many characters in the anime have to pay attention to a certain "adaptability", so the original authors have modified some of the original clothing styles in large proportions.
Essentially, this kind of embellishment or modification is an adaptation to the otaku culture, in order to make beautiful or attractive characters that are liked by readers or viewers.
Therefore, after this kind of secondary creation, many things are still called by that name, but in fact they are no longer the same thing as the original.
For example, the maid costume is more than the gothic lolita mentioned this time.
In terms of style and color matching, although the category that appears in the comics can still be seen to belong to it, it has obviously been adjusted for modern vision and aesthetics, not to mention emphasizing the attraction of the opposite sex, with a certain sense of expressing color.
In the case of maid outfits and gothic loli, the typical approach is to keep the basic style and black tone, and the lower body is modified to a short skirt, the length of the skirt is proportional to the creator's temperament, and under the skirt, stockings are standard.
In fact, the home-based Gothic Lori can basically be said to be the "professional attire" of patients with secondary two diseases.
Typical representative figures: Hasegawa Kodo, a patient with the second disease, Gogori, who is more sick than the dove, and Yurokuka, who is more sick than the black cat.
But Victoria is a little different, she is...... Pure Lori.
Although there has been a gap of some time, Shizu Miyahara's new work should be said to be a succession of the crown of sin in the eyes of many readers, so it is very much anticipated.
However, with only two characters, the reader cannot judge the new story, but figuratively speaking, the heroine of the new work, Victoria, cannot be a Kaji-like character.
ACGN Forum
At this time, the number of active users of this forum has reached tens of thousands, and the registered users are not only readers of Hibiscus Society, but many people with the same hobbies have gathered here.
This is the largest gathering place of anime otaku in the island country...... Well, because of its birth time and quite reasonable management, it has always been the largest gathering place.
There are a variety of topics discussed in the forum, from anime to manga, and it's not just the Hibiscus Society's own works, so it's basically a hodgepodge, and everyone's works are available.
Therefore, basically from the activity of the forum topic or theme, you can judge the overall popularity of a work.
And the new manga of "Hyakmu Ghost Quiet" can obviously stand on the topic, and since the trailer of the last issue, there has been no lot of discussion about it......
"About Hyakme's new work...... You can't see anything just by looking at a picture, right? Is it really good to be so headstrong as a cartoonist? Make a preview of the new serial, but don't disclose the name and subject matter of the work, which is ...... Does anyone know what the new manga is all about?,At least tell me about the subject matter of the work.γ β
"Hunger marketing, right? If you're interested, you'll lose, this is the usual practice of the Hibiscus Society, what kind of subject? Like it or not? These questions will be known when the first word of the new work comes out. β
"The blonde girl and that kind of European-style building can't be a vampire, right?"
"Khan, vampires aren't the image of heroines, are there vampires that round? I can't show my teeth how to suck blood.,I think it should be in love.,Baimu Ghost Jing hasn't painted a love style yet.,And looking at his previous works.,It seems like I want to try any genre.γ β
"Is it in love?,To be honest, I like love like love too.,But if it's a love comic with a hundred eyes and ghosts.,I'm sorry.,I'm passing.γ
"Confused, why don't you like it?"
"Above, I guess I haven't experienced the August incident of Simaril, right? Hyakmu Ghost's continuous love short stories all ended in tragedy, which led to a riot among readers at the time, and some people are still traumatized to this day......"
"And this kind of thing, what's the name of the short story? I'll take a look. β
"I don't think it's detective reasoning, right?"
"Huh? Where does this conclusion come from, is the heroine a detective or the hero a detective? β
"Heroine, look, she has a pipe in her hand, which is obviously a standard accessory for some detectives, I think the heroine is in COS Holmes, and the male protagonist is probably a character like Watson, right?"
"It's impossible, I'm still expecting the heroine to be a three-no character.,Three-no Lori."
"Who knows the type, but I think the people of the Hibiscus Society have always had a big brain, and the demon king Oda Nobunaga can become Oda Shinna, don't look at the heroine as a round-faced Lori, maybe she's the driver of a giant steam robot."
"Speaking of the Sengoku daimyo and the general's sexual transformation, I can only say that Oda Shinna is a bit of a nervous challenge to the Japanese, and has been criticized by many people, and intellectually I am more serious, so I have to say it here...... Hyakme Oni Jing and Akira Hayami Amber are beautiful, and I like cute war girls! β
After this article, the post was completely off-track, followed by a series of "Long live the mother!" β
Where to say something, expect to have a voice of criticism in a house like the ACGN forum...... In short, yes is the mainstream.
However, some people guessed the type of story from a pipe, and they guessed correctly, not to mention that since the birth of the Internet, there are gods with strange brains.
Then, in the midst of great anticipation, in the new issue of the monthly magazine ME, the new work of Hyakmu Ghost Jing finally began to be serialized.
Some readers who have been whetted for it immediately buy the monthly magazine ME, which they have never bought once.
Immediately flip to the table of contents page, find the name of Hyakmu Onijing, and then go back and forward, they finally know the name of the new work.
Once the name of the work is known, readers can understand why the name of the work has not been published before.
βGosickβ
With a confused face, what does this title mean? What's the difference with not saying anything? What about the synopsis?
Well, nothing, just from the first words.
The first episode of GOSICK is published on a full-color page.
And it comes up with a certain European medieval style of unfolding.
In a castle, a blonde nobleman with round-rimmed glasses is having a conversation with an alchemist.
The nobleman asks the alchemist about how to make androids, as the war is about to take place, and he has a certain demand for "undead soldiers".
However, the alchemist denied the possibility of human training, but solved the problem of the nobility:
"If you want someone, it's good to find a woman to give birth to, and if you want a special person, it's good to find a special woman to give birth to."
So the heroine with the blood of the "gray wolf", Victoria was born.
