Chapter 38: Revelation from the Penguin Jar (Part II)

With the current communication technology and information exchange conditions, the communication between readers is a relatively difficult thing, such communication is often confined to a small circle with common hobbies, and it is basically a very difficult thing to achieve cross-regional communication. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The real large-scale exchange of information with the participation of the whole people will only come after the popularization of the Internet.

At this time, after reading a comic, do they want to express their feelings? When they come across a work they particularly like, do they want to recommend it to others? What should they do at this time?

Well, in the past, in addition to communicating with nearby friends, there was only one good way to solve their problems, and that was to hold back.

However, from now on, the Internet will gradually become more widespread, and the difficulties of such communication will gradually disappear.

That's why the Hibiscus Society had the idea of making a forum.

It's just that this approach is not only ahead of its time, but also takes a lot of effort, just to achieve communication between readers, for a publishing company, isn't it a bit worth the loss?

No, no, that's not the case at all, the purpose behind this is what the Hibiscus Society needs.

Reader stickiness.

Any publishing house needs reader stickiness, and in order to increase reader stickiness, it needs to provide better services, so it doesn't mean that readers buy magazines, and the transaction of cultural products is over.

If the products and services that a company can provide can be satisfied with users from beginning to end, then its user stickiness will naturally be strong, and a magazine can allow readers to fully express their own suggestions, and the effect is the same.

In Japan, anime lovers, NEET, and anime otaku, although these three groups intersect with each other, they are essentially different, and they cannot be directly equated.

The latter two have gradually formed a kind of social group, and often receive differential attention, compared to the latter two, anime fans are a much larger group, and there will not be the obvious group characteristics of NEET.

It doesn't mean that if a child likes comics, he will be opposed and banned by his parents.

Hibiscus hopes to provide a communication platform for all of these readers.

At present, in fact, the official website of the Hibiscus Society is dispensable, but the forum wants to do it as soon as possible, because the sooner this thing appears, the sooner it can accumulate popularity and active users, and after two or three years, whether there is a website like 2ch or not, the Hibiscus Society will have an advantage in this regard.

Even if there is such a website, then this forum can definitely replace some of its important features.

In this regard, the Hibiscus Society has a natural advantage.

"Jingjun, how does this website feel?" Yoshishi Kubo asked Shizushi Miyahara how she felt.

At this time, they were in the hibiscus society, and before the so-called official website was launched, a staff member was showing Miyahara what it could do.

The person who created this page was not the technical department of the Hibiscus Society, in fact the Hibiscus Society did not have such a technical department.

At this time, few companies will have a technical department dedicated to the network, and at this time, it is a new type of industry to mention that other companies make web pages and provide network technical support services.

Therefore, at this time, the Hibiscus Society belongs to the category of other people's customers, and of course it needs to be affirmed by customers.

Judging from the tone and expression of Vice President Yoshishi Hibo, he is quite satisfied with this website.

"What does the editor-in-chief of Kubo think?" Miyahara asked rhetorically.

"I think it's pretty good," Kubo added, after a slight mutter, "very good." ”

But to be honest, this thing seemed to Miyahara Jing to be simply simple, but he had to nod his head against his will.

"Yes, that's good."

It's very good.,It's already there what a website should have.,What's the dissatisfaction?,Don't always look at the current things from behind.,To compare it horizontally.,This website is really okay.。

And after this technician completes the work, he will return the control of the background to the Hibiscus Society, and if they want to update the information, they can do it themselves, and the operation steps designed by others are relatively simple, and after a little study for a while, the general staff can do it.

So Miyahara Jing has nothing to disagree with...... After he found all sorts of reasons to convince himself.

The webpage has been basically completed, but the forum is still making a framework, and today is just a simple work report in the middle of the term, and after Miyahara Jing read it and said that there was no problem, this matter will be like this for the time being.

Then after nothing else, Miyahara Shizune left the Hibiscus Society.

Before leaving, he took a copy of the anime information magazine with him, and it was also necessary for him to keep abreast of the current trends in the industry.

…………

The next morning, this day is Monday, it's rare, Miyahara Jing also has to go to school occasionally to show up, after all, the new semester has just begun, and he has been promoted to the second grade, and he is not too blatant at this time.

And from today onwards, Jun Miyahara and Ruri Miyahara will be closed to boarding schools for a week.

At this time, the three of them were eating breakfast, but the youngest Miyahara Ruri was not here.

Shizune Miyahara was eating while flipping through the magazine she brought back yesterday. Flipping through it, and then he saw a message about Sailor Moon on it.

After the Miyazaki incident, the animation market has indeed been in a recession until now, but the recession is talking about the entire industry, and it cannot be said that there are no bright spots in the specific and subtle terms.

No matter how dark the night sky is, there will be one or two first-class stars, and if you want to talk about the successful commercialization of this period, the first is the Sapphire Mystery in 91, and the second is Sailor Moon in 92.

Of course, for the producer, there is still a difference between the two, that is, the G company that made the Sapphire Mystery almost died, because they didn't have the copyright, and Toei, who made Sailor Moon, made a lot of money.

Sailor Moon was also a sensational work at the time, and after its success in Japan, it was soon introduced to the international market, entering East Asia, Europe and the United States, and becoming a "world-renowned anime".

This 200-episode long episode is still being broadcast on TV Asahi.

The success of Sailor Moon lies first in the fact that it has created a new character model, in this anime, the main character is the female, and the female also plays a leading role in the development of the story, while the male becomes the protected and supporting character, which is a model that reverses the traditional Japanese anime style, which makes this work have a unique novelty.

And speaking of which, the painting style of Sailor Moon was the representative painting style of the shoujo manga at that time, so a comparison can illustrate the advanced nature of the Hibiscus Society comics.

"The representative who led the rise of shoujo animation, the genius of the entire animation industry", Shizune Miyahara noticed such a sentence, which is the description of a certain supervisor in Sailor Moon in this article.

Kunihiko Kihara.

Sure enough, it was him, and when he saw the name Kunihiko Kihara, the thoughts that came to Miyahara's mind were actually a little strange.

His first reaction was that this thing cosed Sailor Moon.

The second reaction is that there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that he is the prototype of Kaoru Nagisa......

Of course, his first reaction was true from a factual point of view, Comrade Old Thief can't use the common sense of the world, and cos a female character is simply trivial.

The second, Kaoru Nagisa's prototype is Kihara, which is also true...... Well, the real rumors in the rivers and lakes, Jihara once said that he had nothing to do with Nagisa Kaoru.

In terms of the number of animations supervised, there are not many works by Kunihiko Kihara, Sailor Moon, Girl Revolution and Rotary Penguin Jar, but Kihara is still one of the animation supervisors with a distinctly personal style, and is often compared to the supervision of Akiyuki Shinbo and Masaaki Asayu...... On the whole, Kunihiko Kihara's supervision method is somewhat obscure, and the storytelling requires a gradual process, and there are many things in his works that are difficult to understand at a glance.

What the? Lily Bear Storm, you say? Hehehe.

Sailor Moon needless to say, although this is a fairly famous work, and it is also the foundation of the transformation of a magical girl, but after all, it is a manga animation, and it is impossible to make the story detached from the original.

The first time the style of the original was thoroughly embodied was the later girl revolution.,This side of the animation was regarded as a masterpiece equal to EVA at the time.,It can be said that the style and connotation of the painting are good.,It's just that the subject matter of concern tends to be feminine.、The identity of the original as a shoujo comic.,And some deficiencies in the story structure.,Compared to EVA who can fight for another 500 years,The recognition of the girl revolution is not high.。

Speaking of the Rotary Penguin Jar, this work can be said to be his masterpiece, although he has restrained himself in the controversial stream-of-consciousness style, it still does not break out of obscurity.

Therefore, the plot connotation of the whole work of Penguin Jar is quite intriguing, the painting style is also pleasing, and the music is also remarkable......

But this is a tragedy.

After all, the peak of stream of consciousness has passed, and there has been a noticeable shift in the audience's acceptance of animated works.

In terms of topicality, Penguin Jar has already made the name of Xinfang famous before.

In terms of comparison with the same period, the penguin jar is a slow-burning work, and it has a sick representative who can better grasp the hearts of the audience at the same time, and the acceptance of the diary in the future is undoubtedly higher at this time.

And when the penguin tank really began to ferment, it was even more tragic - it bumped into fate/zero, which was known as the "strongest" at the time.

Therefore, whether in terms of topic or commerciality, the limelight of penguin cans has been completely overshadowed.

This is the legendary birth at the wrong time.

However, these are not the point, the point is that when Miyahara Shizune thought of the work of Turning Penguin Jar from the name Kunihiko Kihara, cold sweat flowed down his face...... (To be continued.) )
