Of course, the reversal of the plot cannot cause an explosive sensation from the beginning, nor can it make the popularity of "Madoka Magical Girl" explode in a very short period of time, this is a new twist, and the foreshadowing of the previous plot plays a role in presenting the real content of the work to the audience. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info's amazing plot reversal also brought about an increase in topicality, driving the popularity of the original pool of stagnant water, and many viewers who didn't care about this animation noticed the existence of the work. It's a slow accumulation process, and the snowball that seems to be rolling down the mountain will only get bigger and bigger.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple." 【Sunrise】Shuichi Kitagawa, the company's senior animation supervisor, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and he hasn't moved his chopsticks since he watched last night's recorded "Madoka Magical Girl", focusing on watching the plot development on TV. Unlike the general audience, he had a completely different evaluation of "Madoka Magical Girl" from the beginning, and when he watched the third episode, he decided on this idea, and the fifth episode had already expected that there would be a major plot twist after that.

Even more exciting than in his phenomenon, all the plot foreshadowing of the first five episodes broke out in one go, and scattered clues and various puzzles began to reveal the answers. The new OP and ED style of the animation has changed suddenly, and while the animation reveals the truth of the plot, it seems that more clues have begun to be buried, and the healing painting style and various weird settings that are completely out of line with the theme combine to make people feel indescribably depressed, and "Madoka Magica" has broken away from the limitations of the subject matter and developed towards the unknown abyss.

"It's no wonder that the age limit of the audience was stated at the beginning, and the overall style of the animation is going to be curious, but this change is not very abrupt." Shuichi Kitagawa looked at the bloody picture in the picture and frowned and groaned, the degree of bloodiness is not as good as the depiction of large-scale realistic wars such as "Warring States Heroes" in the same month, but the degree of depression in the atmosphere will make the audience have a visual impact and discomfort.

After watching the sixth episode in one go, Shuichi Kitagawa hurried back to the company without finishing the rest of his breakfast, and along the way he was thinking about comparing his "Mobile Suit 007" with "Madoka Magical Girl", which anime would he prefer if he were an audience? Putting aside the emotional factor, Kitagawa Shuichi was sure that he would choose the latter, and the foreshadowing and plot reversal of "Madoka Magical Girl" gave him a lot of impact as an audience, and he was more interested in the follow-up plot.

No, what would happen if you looked at it from the perspective of an animation director? Recalling the various details of the "Madoka Magical Girl" anime that he had watched before, Shuichi Kitagawa couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head, feeling that his ability in animation supervision was inferior to others for the first time.

The details of the picture, the processing of the plot clues, the understanding of each line, the reversal of the plot without a sense of abruptness are the results of this series of foreshadowing, but these are just the tip of the iceberg of the animation performance, Yu Kamiya has created a work world that makes people unable to extricate themselves, seemingly relaxed but rigorous, every line in every scene will not feel boring. The average viewer will only feel relished when watching "Madoka Magical Girl", and they are reluctant to drag the progress bar to watch it roughly, but this consistency is the best illustration of the "fun" of a work, and it is also the most testing of animation supervision.

Shuichi Kitagawa continued to think about it, feeling a tangle in his heart, and what Yuu Kamiya poured into "Madoka Magical Girl" subverted his understanding of the identity of an animation supervisor: "Is making animation such a complicated thing? ”

There are more topics on the Internet about "Madoka Magical Girl", and the impact of the reversal of the plot development has caused heated discussions among the audience, some of them have an in-depth analysis of the plot, some of them shout that Kamisaku highly recommends them to others, and there are those who threaten to send blades to Kamiya Yu, resenting him for creating such a unique character as Ba Asami and setting her ending as death. In this world, the animation industry is full of flattery, and ordinary animation production companies don't dare to play like this, and most of the animations that please the audience have also developed a large number of glass hearts, and the death of Asami has caused tons of mental attacks on this part of the people.

Especially the most surprising name of the QB incubator, the incubator? Hatching a magical girl? So what will the magical girl be compared to an egg?
