The aesthetics of the West have always been strange from the eyes of Asians, and the "Oriental beauty" in their eyes is not very high-grade in the eyes of most Asians, for example, the famous Internet celebrity "Sister Feng", whose name is almost well-known in China, is considered to be a good-looking category in the eyes of many Westerners, and in the eyes of some black Americans, Sister Feng is more attractive than the artistic photos of stars surnamed Fan.
This aesthetic difference is also reflected in the animation industry, most of the European and American audiences in the eyes of the anime beauty image representative should be sausage lips, bee waist (in the real sense of the bee waist), exaggerated **** and huge ****, of course, with the aesthetics of European and American audiences, the big eyes, lines and noses of Japanese anime characters may not be much better. The gap between aesthetics has led to the fact that the animation market between the East and the West has not reached a good tacit understanding, and the positioning of European and American animation and Japanese animation is fundamentally different, and the difference between the market and the audience makes it difficult for the two to establish a competitive relationship. Therefore, even though there is a gap between aesthetics, Japanese animation has developed a certain audience in the West, and the most influential in this regard is the Japanese animation masterpiece "Violet Blooming Garden" and the 3D animation "RWBY" produced by Yu Kamiya.
After more than a year of silence, the popularity of "RWBY" in the Western region has not decreased much, and it has occupied the top 10 of the list of the original painting area of [Fake Book] all year round, and the cos of the four heroines can be seen everywhere when the Comic-Con is held, and if you want to form the football team "RWBY", the character coser can already hold the World Cup. The biggest reason why "RWBY" can endure in Western countries is its special positioning, which is different from the mainstream animation films of all ages in Europe and the United States, which depicts a new fantasy world for the audience, and the theme of "RWBY" is very much in line with the heroic plot of European and American audiences.
In addition, "RWBY" also has a place that people talk about, that is, the shooting techniques of animation and the construction of animation as a whole, what scenes are used for what shooting techniques, what music is used to set off, and how to deal with the tone and atmosphere of animation, etc., to put it bluntly, it is the means used to show the appeal of the movie, and in this regard, "RWBY" has become a textbook for the entire industry.
Various factors have led to the popularity of "RWBY" by Western media and audiences, and indirectly, Yu Kamiya, an animator who has naturally attracted the attention of many Western audiences. In fact, many European and American audiences were very disappointed when they learned that Yu Kamiya planned to make 2D Japanese anime, the first was that they wasted excellent 3D painting, and the second was that most European and American audiences were really not interested in Japanese anime.
After the appearance of "Magical Girl Naye", this impression was slightly reversed, and the battle scenes in Magical Girl Naye combined with 2D and 3D are not inferior to "RWBY", and many big scenes are shocking. In terms of plot, "Magical Girl Naye" is also biased towards teenagers, implementing the traditional friendship theme in Japanese animation, the depiction of characters and the expression of feelings have reached the extreme, and at the end, it has received a large number of tears from European and American audiences who pay attention to Yu Kamiya.
"Magical Girl Naye" at the end of the [fake book] website of the Japanese anime evaluation list squeezed into the top ten,This top ten refers not to the top ten of Japanese anime that year, but to the top ten in the entire history of Japanese animation development,"RWBY" was not classified as Japanese anime, so it did not enter this list,The first place is still the amazing work "Violet Blooming Garden"。
Transition to "Madoka Magical Girl", the fans who pay attention to this work are no longer only those fans of Yu Kamiya, the promotion of the [fake book] website makes European and American audiences who like Japanese anime basically know the existence of this animation, through the change of the plot of the seventh episode, "Madoka Magica" has caused greater audience shock in the West, and the twists and turns of the bizarre plot development and the strange world view revealed, these two elements are integrated into Japanese animation and subvert the views of countless Western audiences on Japanese anime.
Today, "Madoka Magical Girl" has received a high score of 96 points in the audience rating survey report of the [Fake Book] website, "Naha the Magical Girl" has maintained a score of 95 points since the end, and "Violet Garden" and "RWBY" have both received the highest score in history with 98 points. The reaction of "Madoka Magical Girl" in Europe and the United States is not as exaggerated as that of "RWBY", but it is the best of Japanese anime, and if the follow-up is not weak, the popularity can reach the height of "Violet Blooming Garden" sooner or later.

"Alger, Harry is looking for you." The middle-aged woman's thick voice came, Alger, who was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone, raised his eyebrows, opened the bedroom window, and sure enough, he saw his friend Harry, who grew up with him, playing with the basketball in his hand downstairs, and it seemed that he should want to take him to the basketball court.
Alger waved out the window and shouted, "Hey! Harry, come up! ”
Harry nodded, and soon came to Alger's bedroom and said with great interest: "Alger, there is a new team on the field, and I heard that there is another retired player." ”
"I'm sorry, I want to take a break today." Alger replied with a spread of his hands.
"It's Saturday, and you, a seventeen-year-old man, are going to rest at home?" Harry put down the basketball in his hand and looked like hell.
"I surfed the Internet late last night, and my body still can't adjust."
"That Japanese anime again? I don't know why you like those big-eyed cartoon characters so much. Harry sat back in his chair and sighed helplessly, looked at the basketball in his hand and threw it aside in frustration. He knew that his friend had been watching a Japanese anime late at night late, but the anime was running late on Friday night, and several times he had been turned down for the same reason when he had asked Alger to hang out with him on Saturdays.
"Do you want to take a look? I think it's still a pretty good work, and you also like "RWBY", and the maker of this anime is the animation director Yu Kamiya. Alger came to his computer, opened it, entered the Japanese animation channel of [Fake Book], and clicked on the "Madoka Magical Girl" column.
Harry sighed, "Alger, you know I'm not interested in this kind of thing. He said that, in fact, he was still a little interested, and the last time Alger recommended "RWBY" to him, he was very impressed.
・・・・・・
"Okay~! Magical Girl! Magical Girl? Will there be those shameful transformation scenes, which are known by Mei Li and the others, and I will probably be ridiculed by others for the rest of my life. ”
・・・・・・
"The style of painting is too weird, oh! Is this one of those oil paintings that gives people a headache?"
・・・・・・
"The plot is finally a little more interesting."
・・・・・・
“whta? Is this an atomic bomb? With the atomic bomb as a weapon? wtf!? ”
・・・・・・
“wtf! wtf!! wtf!!! oh! What is it****! You can't do that to me! oh!shite! ”
There was a lot of vulgar swearing in his ears, but Alger was used to lying on his bed and reading the magazines in his hand, and Harry was staring at the screen, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, which made Alger wonder if he would tear the screen off to vent his feelings. Alger removed his magazine, glanced at the impatient and surprised look on Harry's face, and said with a knowing smile: "Harry, please keep quiet, disturb me reading the magazine." ”
"This animation you recommend is ****! What a **** plot is this! Harry turned his head and pulled off his headphones, indignant.
Alger put down the magazine and looked at his friend with a strange expression, but a big man was in tears.
"Are you crying?"
"Crying?" Harry was stunned for a moment, and touched his face with his right hand There were really water marks, the plot development of "Madoka Magical Girl" just now had made him tense and nervous, and the depressing atmosphere made him breathless. Harry does not deny that the animation is very good, and he has been substituting the role of Madoka Kamei, coupled with the appeal of the animation, which made him feel sad as a man, until the plot of the seventh episode developed and he couldn't control his emotions in the end.
Harry wiped his tears and scolded again, "Shite! You know I hate tragedy. ”
"That's why I recommend it to you. Haha~ I didn't expect your reaction to be so interesting, it's the same as what those viewers on the Internet said, many people on the Internet said that they cried when they watched the seventh episode, and one punched through his computer monitor because he was excited. Alger got out of bed with interest, he was more reserved, he only felt uncomfortable for a day after watching the seventh episode of "Madoka Magi", and now a real example of a person who would cry after watching the seventh episode was in front of him.
Alger is a big fan of "RWBY", and like most fans, his boyish heart is conquered by the wonderful battle scenes of "RWBY", the roar of bullets creates a great sense of blow, and the impact of fists to the flesh makes him fall in love at first sight, and then when he watches it in the cinema, the impact of the huge picture makes him feel numb and his blood boils! His obsession with "RWBY" made him know the name of the animation production company and Yu Kamiya, and he was very disappointed and puzzled when he heard that Yu Kamiya planned to put aside the creation of "RWBY" for the time being, knowing that the charm of the "RWBY" series had just been discovered, why he suddenly gave up.
After that, he often paid attention to the dynamics of the [Yuanzhikong] animation production company, and learned that Yuu Kamiya turned to the 2D Japanese animation "Magical Girl Naha". Time has reduced his enthusiasm a lot, but he still can't forget the feeling left by "RWBY" on his body and heart, so he paid attention to Yuu Kamiya's new work "Magical Girl Naye", this Japanese animation is even better than he imagined, there is no fist-to-flesh scene but extremely magnificent battles, maintain a deeper excavation of the character, the plot appeal and character depth created by the animation are better than "RWBY", and at the end of "Magical Girl Naye" is the first time he cried for a film and television work.
Alger didn't know what his mood was at that time, but he still remembered what happened to Fett and how he was redeemed in despair, and his gentle personality in the face of despair shocked him so much that when he looked at the girls in his class during this time, his restlessness as an adolescent boy turned dull.
Compared with the seventh episode of "Madoka Magical Girl" is only shocking in terms of plot twists, and the appeal is far less than that of "Naye Magical Girl", which has twelve episodes of foreshadowing, Alger does not deny that the plot twists of the sixth and seventh episodes of "Madoka Magical Girl" also gave him a lot of shock, overturning his opinion of this work. Intuition tells him that it is also a magical girl theme, and the same name has a magical girl, but "Magical Girl Naye" and "Magical Girl Madoka" are completely different types of works.
Harry doesn't pay much attention to anime, "RWBY" was recommended to him by Alger, and now that he is bored during the school holidays, he is bored and plans to go out to Alger, and Alger wants to stay at home so he recommends this animation saved in the computer by the way, and he lies in bed and reads magazines.
"Alger, if you don't like anyone in the future, you should really recommend him to watch this anime, damn it, I'm not in a good mood for the day." Harry muttered angrily, clicking on the option for the next episode of Madoka Magical Girl on the computer.
Alger held the magazine and said casually: "The anime is only halfway through the broadcast, and no one knows the ending except for the Japanese director Yu Kamiya, so don't watch it if you don't like it." ”
Harry rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger at him: "That's the most excessive, well, this anime managed to get my attention, I hope the ending won't be as tragic as this time!" I really like the dark-haired girl in this anime, it's cool! I really should recommend this anime to Jesse as well. fuck! The animation has begun, and I won't talk to you anymore. He hurriedly turned his head and continued his great work, and he didn't even want to skip the OP of the animation.
Alger was speechless for a moment, it seemed to be his room, and Harry was using his computer.
Harry's fascination with "Madoka Magica" surprised Alger, and he has been staying in front of the computer since the morning, and after watching the eleventh episode of the latest broadcast, he still can't get enough of going back to make up for the seven episodes he watched roughly, and after watching it, he used his online social account to post a review of it, and then left a message on the [fake book] website, and checked all kinds of messages about "Madoka Magica", and when he made a new discovery, he would excitedly call him to watch together.
Alger regretted it a bit, and always felt that it might not be a good decision for him to recommend "Madoka Magical Girl" to Harry, as he had never seen Harry be so addicted to a work.
Little did Alger know that his actions were a classic example of missionary success! (To be continued.) )
