At the end of November, Yu Kamiya completed the specific concept of "Madoka Magical Girl", and at the same time, the animation production company [Yuanzhikong] announced the official production of "Madoka Magical Girl". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Madoka Kamiya" is a phenomenal anime from the last world of Yuu Kamiya, which is very popular with Japanese youth groups (10-35 years old), and it is generally believed that it subverts the image of magical girls in people's hearts and the identity impression of magical girls that bring hope to people. The animation screenwriter is a famous screenwriter and novelist in the Japanese animation industry [Warrior of Love] - Xuan Xuyuan, almost none of the works he directed have a good ending, and he was jokingly called by his friend a well-known Japanese scriptwriter and novelist, and the author of the "Fate" series, Nasu Mushroom, who suffers from "the disease of not being able to write happyend".

"Requiem of Phantom Town", "Song of Saya", "Devil's Cry Street", "Fate/Zero", "Madoka Magica", "Psychometric", "Paradise Chase" and other games or animations that are well-known in the Chinese otaku circle, the best ending of the protagonist is also an open ending.

The animation supervisor is Akiyuki Shinbo, who used to direct "Magical Girl Naha", and he is definitely unique in the industry in terms of supervision style.

His works "Mr. Despair", "Maria Wild", "Radio Wave Girl and Young Man", "Wings of Eternity" and so on can be seen in his strong personal style, detailed for the new house style turning, two or three dimensional cutting, still painting, shadows, a large number of geometric lines used, etc., these special painting styles can achieve a very good money-saving effect compared with traditional painting, so the new house Zhaozhi is also known as the money-saving maniac.

The stream-of-consciousness style of painting does make people feel eye-catching at first glance, but it can easily scare off a large part of the audience. Kamiya Yu feels okay at first glance about the new house style, but he feels annoyed when he sees too much, and the lack of a large number of paintings leads to incoherent pictures, which often makes him feel inexplicable and irritable.

The only person who can go to the air with this animation supervisor is probably the Japanese novelist Nishio Restoration, who has a subtle sense of fit when the large amount of dialogue and meaningless descriptions in the novel "Pseudo-Story" are transformed into new room-style animations. In fact, it is also because of the "Monogatari Series" that this animation supervisor is well-known in the Chinese otaku circle.,The works listed above are basically unpopular except for "Magical Girl Naye", which doesn't have many new room style animations.。

Shinfang Akiyuki as an animation supervisor with the weird painting style of "Magical Girl Madoka",At the beginning, this animation was highly anticipated by the audience because of the combination of Xuyuan Xuan and Shinfang Akiyuki.,In January 2011, the new attention list ranked first.,But the performance of the first two episodes is similar to that of general magical girl animation, which caused many viewers to be disappointed.。 What made "Madoka Magical Girl" take off in popularity was the third episode - "There's nothing to be afraid of anymore." Because of the screenwriter's malice, the title of this episode is the last words of the main supporting character in "Madoka Magica".

Sister Bama Mei was very happy because she made the protagonist Kameka make up her mind to become a magical girl, thinking that she already had a companion and there was nothing to be afraid of, so she said this line before fighting [Snack Witch Charlotte] and accompanied by passionate music... In this way, she was bitten off her head by [Snack Witch Charlotte], and the headless corpse fell from mid-air, causing the protagonist Shikame Yuan who was watching from a distance to panic.

"There's nothing to be afraid of" has since become a famous flag in the industry comparable to "I'll go back to my hometown to get married after this battle".

The subversive development caused a heated discussion among the shocked audience, when did the magical girl theme die in such a bloody way? What the hell is this plot twist? It is also this episode that carries forward the "three episodes" rule in the animation industry, and it has become the basic principle of many viewers to watch animation only when they see the third episode to evaluate the quality of the animation. Many Chinese viewers who like animation know the name of screenwriter Xuyuanxuan because of this episode, and they are called his old and affectionate name.

In addition, there is an interesting fact about "Madoka Magi", after the tenth episode was broadcast, because of the 2011 earthquake in Japan, the animation announced an indefinite suspension on the grounds of self-sufficiency, and it was once scheduled to be rebroadcast on the Niconico network and postponed. This decision caused rumors to circulate among the audience that "the ending was changed because it was too miserable", and after the rumors were refuted, there was a joke such as "the tenth episode that caused the Great Japanese Earthquake".

The quality of this anime is not very good from the perspective of Yu Kamiya, and the reason why it can cause a phenomenal reaction in Japan is entirely because the work subverts the definition of a magical girl, and the combination of Akiyuki Shinbobo and Gen Void Abuchi plus a depressing ending with dark elements.

"Madoka Magical Girl" has a unique breakthrough in the same type of animation, which is why Yu Kamiya chose to use this work to make a magical girl-themed animation for himself.

Madoka Kame, Akami, Sayaka Miki, Asami, Kyoko Sakura, there are a total of five main characters in the anime, but the length is only thirteen episodes, which are interspersed with a lot of side content, resulting in the portrayal of the characters being too weak. Yu Kamiya plans to expand the original length of twelve episodes to twenty-four episodes, using Xiao Meiyan's time travel ability as a clue to expand the plot tension and character impression with more space.

For example, the plot related to Sayaka Miki, the original work of her transformation from a magical girl to a witch was not impressive. The person she likes is also a childhood friend Kyosuke Jojo who was hospitalized in a car accident and lost the ability to play the violin, and Sayaka Miki made a wish to restore his arm and became a magical girl, but after being reminded by Kyoko Sakura, she realized that she didn't want to help him, but wanted to be the one who helped him.

However, Kyosuke Uejo, who didn't know what price Sayaka Miki had paid at all, fell in love with Sayaka Miki's close friend Shizukihito, and Sayaka Miki in the original work became a witch under the torment of her heart.

How does Yu Kamiya plan to recast this plot? The original Sayaka Miki's transformation into a witch is indeed a depressing tragedy, but it is far from enough.

To paraphrase Gilles de Les, a character from Fate/Zero, "Human beings are in constant fear, and their feelings will gradually die." Horror in the true sense of the word does not refer to the static that does not change, but the dynamic that changes. The transition from hope to despair, the horror of that moment. ”

The original meaning of this sentence is contrast! The contrast between hope and despair makes a sense of the terrifying disparity in it.

If the despair mentioned by Gilles de Rice is the fluctuation between hope and despair, the despair that Yu Kamiya intends to create is a waltz of hope and despair, where the two coexist, the two depend on each other, and the two are entangled, and they are on the same stage to achieve the strongest contrasting effect.
