Chapter 41 Investigation Report on the Survival Status of Wild Lolita Control (II)
"Strawberry Marshmallow" is a comic originally published in the electric shock king.,In 05, it was adapted into the animation of the same name by the well-known animation production company Tong Meng.,Classification should be classified as a daily fan.,At the same time, it can be labeled funny.、Healing、Lori and so on。
From the perspective of chronology and later generations, this work does have the potential to be a big hit, and the quality of the work can be called excellent, from the perspective of story structure and screenwriter, although the animation is carried out in the form of a unit drama of each episode, it does not affect the coherence and excitement of the story.
The story revolves around a pair of sister families, and there are five main characters, one in a girls' high school and four Lori in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school.
First of all, the first character, Nobue Ito, is the older sister of sisters, a 16-year-old high school student, a former bad girl, who likes to smoke, and prefers to take a can of beer after taking a bath.
It's also because it's a bad habit in this setting.,Unlike the comics, her age was changed to 20-year-old short-term college student in the anime.,After all, her bad habits are suspected of teaching bad children.,And more importantly, it's very illegal.。
In a sense, this work is carried out from the perspective of Nobue Ito, and as for the setting of the bad girl, it is likely to be a foreshadowing for her next attribute:
This person is a lolita control with a girl's uncle's heart.,And it's the kind of heavy dangerous person who can take a schoolboy he doesn't know into his arms after drinking too much and then say "this is my thing".。
For targeted viewing groups, this role is undoubtedly quite close to the audience, because in terms of material selection and presentation techniques, the most attractive thing about this work is the audience who likes Lori, and Sister Ito, one of the protagonists, is also a Lolita, which is very convenient for the role to be brought in.
The second character is my sister Chika Ito, a sixth-grader in elementary school, and in my sister's words, I should say that "no feature is her characteristic", and the main character of the work is the most normal one, so it is also the work of the complaining service.
In terms of the era of the production of the work, probably the animation production company has not yet had such a conceptual and targeted strategy as "selling cute", and there is no expression in the work of deep blood love.
Although my sister Nobue Ito likes Lori, she is no different from an ordinary family to her sister, and even often deducts pocket money from her sister for various reasons, and most of the time she borrows money and doesn't pay it back...... This is completely different from the "perversion" like Akane Akaza.
The third character, Matsuoka Miyu, Qianjia's classmate and neighbor, is a bit similar to the second fool of the Nan family in terms of character setting, belonging to the type of overly lively and constantly making trouble, from the perspective of story structure, most of the plot is driven by her activity.
This seems to be a kind of setting law.,The characters with the most ordinary personalities are often Tucao Servants.,Because they're the most normal.、The most common sense.,The typical representative is Gintama's new bar.,And although the character of the Yuan Qi troublemaker doesn't please everyone.,But it's really essential to promote the plot.,Without such a character,,It's difficult to go on.。
The fourth character, Jasmine Sakuragi, an 11-year-old fifth-grader elementary school student who lives near Ito's house, is introverted and shy, easily bluffed, and is one of the favorites of Nobue Ito, the sister of Loricon.
And the fifth character has this groundbreaking setting in terms of setting, named Anna Coppola, a British transfer student born in Saber's hometown and a classmate of Sakuragi Jasmine.
Anna pioneered a model of characters that often later had parody characters, and that was ...... Foreigners who are completely daily chemical.
In terms of appearance, she is a delicate doll with long blond hair and blue eyes, but except for the appearance and her name is very "British", the rest of the part is a complete Japanese child, familiar with the various traditions and folklore of the island country, but she can't even speak English.
Although she tried to live like an English on the surface, she couldn't hide her understanding and preferences for Japanese culture, because she grew up in Otakushima, so she gradually forgot her mother tongue, and even later couldn't even spell her own name, and she had to rely on Jasmine everywhere to learn English, because of her appearance, she often received love letters from male classmates since she transferred to school, but unfortunately, those love letters were written in English, she couldn't read them at all, and she also relied on Jasmine's translation.
What's more unfortunate is that her surname is the same as the Japanese "cave bone hole", so it is very taboo for others to joke about her name, so she often has disputes with the provocateur Miyu.
Animation is like that, to make the audience remember, the characters must have distinct personalities, and Strawberry Marshmallow does a very good job of this, and the five main characters are extremely recognizable, which may be the reason why it has a long-term influence and a large number of loyal fans although it only has one season.
Strictly speaking, this work is difficult to classify as a cute work, after all, deliberately selling cuteness does not exist, and even many of the usual techniques of such later works are not reflected in this work, but why does it make the audience feel very cute?
Because the whole work is smooth and not deliberate, many favorite elements are integrated into the storyline, rather than simply relying on the attributes of the characters to reflect, the plot and the characters are accommodating each other, the characters serve the plot, the plot serves the characters, the sensual is not blunt, and the warmth is integrated into the daily life, it is not easy to do these contents.
It can be seen that Tong Meng has worked the adaptation of the plot.
This is a work of healing and love in the true sense of the word, and the slogan "Cute is Justice" is well deserved.
Whether to take out this work at this time, to be honest, Miyahara Jing was a little hesitant.
In the production of animation, in order not to make the work hit the street, there is one thing that is very, very important, that is, the selection of the topic, in a sense, this is more important than the production quality of the work.
Whether a work can sell well or not, there will be results after it is broadcast, but the work here must basically adapt to the animation market environment at the time, and what works are made in what era, which is a relatively basic thing.
Objectively speaking, there is also the phenomenon of "upset", but this possibility is relatively low, but there are also animation production companies that are tired of this, they like to press various themes like gambling, and produce various works of different classifications, although most of these works have a mediocre response, but as long as they can press one, they can make a good profit.
Of course, this kind of small probability event is not within the scope of Miyahara Shizune's consideration, and he decided to take out such a work in advance, just to see how the current animation audience accepts this kind of work.
