"Magical Girl Naye" is very popular in the last world where Kamiya Yu is located.,It's one of the masterpieces of magical girl-themed animation.,But this animation is an animation produced in 2004 after all.,Looking at this animation from a perspective that exceeds this era, it may be crowned with the title of excellent work.,But it won't exceed this evaluation much after all.。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The world in which Kamiya Yu lives now is 2017.,Even if the abnormal development of the animation industry has led to a lot of lag behind the Japanese animation of the same era in the previous world.,It's undeniable that it's far from being comparable to the Japanese animation industry around 2014.,Magical girl-themed animation has been used rotten in this world.,Even if most of them are sub-supply-oriented genres, there's no lack of things that make people feel bright.。

"Magical Girl Naye" is certainly an excellent work in such an industry background, but it will not be the most dazzling pearl of this genre, and the comprehensive quality will not be equal to the historical status of the previous world.

What's the problem?

Quality? The picture quality of "Magical Girl Naha" is the pinnacle of Japanese animation of this era, and every frame of screenshots can be used as a computer desktop.

Music? Most of the music still retains the style of the original work, and after the optimization of Yuu Kamiya's consciousness space, it is theoretically the song that best fits the theme of the anime.

Fight? The animation production company has accumulated a wealth of experience in portraying battle scenes when producing "Rwby", and it is estimated that no industry peers have come out to oppose the self-proclaimed number one in the world.

Plot, rhythm, core, these are the three elements that Yuu Kamiya ignored when he made "Magical Girl Naha". Inheriting the plot of the original work means that the rhythm and core of the subsequent animation will not change, and the three elements are entangled and connected to each other, and modifying one of them will implicate the entire animation.

Leaving aside the main plot and rhythm, the most fundamental problem lies in the core.

The core is, what exactly does this animation want to express? Excellent animations have a prominent core, just like the friendship and adventure in the hot-blooded boy animation "One Piece", like the iron rules [equivalent exchange] that runs through "Fullmetal Alchemist", and like the hope, despair and redemption of "Madoka Magical Girl" that Yu Kamiya wants to make next, even the idol animation "Lovelive" is under the banner of hard work and friendship.

"Magical Girl Naye" has its own story core from the beginning - redemption. Throughout the original work, the plot seems to be too scattered in the process of expressing this core, from the early appearance of the [Seed of the Holy Stone] to the love and killing of Naha Takamachi and Fett Testrosa in the later period, there are too many inconsequential branches so that the core foreshadowing has not yet been prepared, but the content of several episodes explains the tragic experience and character of Fett Testrosa, and it ends hastily at the cost of the death of Fett's mother, the archmage Precia Testrosa.

In this regard, the results of the discussion at this meeting of the animation production company can be summarized in the most appropriate evaluation: ""Magical Girl Naha" is an excellent animation, but it is not an animation that can move people's hearts. ”

So Yuu Kamiya made up his mind to abandon the two episodes of the animation that had been completed, and even made a decision to delay the broadcast for a week, which would affect the popularity and reputation of the animation. He wanted to further refine the theme based on the core of the original "Magical Girl Naha", and greatly adjust the plot and rhythm of the animation to create a touching effect.

The clash of beliefs, the reward of hard work, the unyielding will, etc., are all used to highlight the core of the anime.

Some of the more successful examples in this regard are the sacrifice of Ace in "One Piece", the requiem for the last episode of "Lelouch the Rebellious", the final relieved smile of the male protagonist in "Five Centimeters per Second", the death of the ant king in "Full-time Hunter", and the smile of Rei Ayanami in "EVA"...

There are many examples of failures, and there are problems in the expression of the plot and rhythm, resulting in the failure to create a touching effect, the most typical example is - most of the works of the animation director Okochi, because "Rebellious Lelouch" barely ended up and was a big success and liked to use the "dead male lead" method, "Guilty Crown", a comprehensive animation with a lot of shadows of "Rebellious Lelouch" is one of the failed examples.

Salvation

Who saves? Who was saved?

Naha Takamachi, a little girl who lives in an extremely happy environment, in a sense, already has everything she desires, and if she hadn't met the silver beast, she would probably be able to spend her life happily. Her living environment is also reflected in her character, kind, cheerful, upright, and gentle, just like the sunshine in spring, warm but not hot, soft but not dazzling.

Fit Testrosa, a hopeless but desperate girl, was a tragedy from the beginning when she was created by her mother, the Grand Magus Precia Testrosa, as a stand-in for Presia Testrosa's real daughter, Alicia Testrosa. However, Precia Testrosa, who is well aware of this, thinks of her daughter every time she sees Fett Testrosa, and takes an extremely abusive attitude towards Fett Testrosa under the torment of her heart.

Archmage Presia Testrosa ordered Fett Testrosa to collect the Sacred Stone Seed in order to resurrect her dead daughter, and wanted to use the Holy Stone Seed to interfere with the power of the dimension to open the entrance to the Forgotten Lands.

The most distressing thing is that Fett Testrosa is a replica, and she often dreams of Alicia Testrosa's related memories, she was portrayed as an extremely gentle character but was thrown into a cruel and ruthless world, if she was a magical girl belonging to the "Magical Girl Madoka" system, it is estimated that she would have turned into a real witch long ago.

Madoka Shikame and Akami

Naha Takamachi and Fett Testrosa

The two protagonists of the magical girl-themed anime have similar experiences, but the former is undoubtedly more impressive.

"The key point is that Fitt Testrosa didn't fully express her inner thoughts and experiences in the original work."

"Arrange a blackening plot? It's a shame to think of [Sacred Stone Seed] as an introduction to the animation, but from another point of view, such a huge power can also become a necessary prop for incarnating a "witch". No, it shouldn't be blackened, it would be more correct to say that she is drowning in a desperate world with tenderness, and her situation must be portrayed as more tragic and lovable, in stark contrast to Naha Takamachi's situation. ”

Then in the final battle, he learned the truth, and learned that Alicia Testrosa would not be resurrected and that her mother Precia Testrosa planned to blow herself up and let everyone be drawn into the dimensional abyss, and the almost desperate Fett Testrosa used the power of the nine holy stone seeds to incarnate as a "witch" to teleport all the people involved out of the dimension, and sank in the dimensional abyss alone with the dimensional sailing island. ”

"Naha Takamachi, who reacted, knew what happened to Fette Testrosa and planned to save her regardless of the cost, using the seeds of the nine holy stones also stored in the Divine Heart to burst out the terrifying magic of a super-SSS-level magister, forming a [Galaxy Shatter] to shatter the dimensional abyss and bring Fett Testrosa back."

"It's a good idea, but with such an ending, you have to have lines and dialogue that can resonate with it, and background music."

Yu Kamiya, who redrew the storyboard of "Magical Girl Naha" at home, had a divine light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were full of excited smiles. He found the "breaking point", and the inspiration to refine the core theme of the work continued to flow into his mind. Kamiya thought for a moment, put down the electronic paintbrush in his hand, and returned to the bedroom, intending to enter the consciousness space to conceive. (To be continued.) )
