Chapter 196: Vicissitudes
After listening to the song that Yui sang on the TV, the Yoshioka family of three did not say that they would turn off the TV directly. They subconsciously continued to watch the cartoon, maybe in their eyes, such a cartoon because Xiao Wei sang the theme song, so the cartoon is like Xiao Wei's work, and the family of three wants to see how such a work is! Even Xiao Wei himself subconsciously wants to watch more of such a cartoon at this time! Soon, after the theme song is over, it will be an "interface" that Japanese anime often has - the names of various sponsors and other names must be specially listed. This is one of the most special features of Japanese anime and TV dramas. TV dramas in other countries, such as China, may sponsor the TV series manufacturers will require a logo after the end of the film - such as "The costume of the characters in this show is provided by the xxx brand" or something like that, or simply show the relevant product appearance in the TV, which is also a built-in advertisement.
The United States and South Korea are similar, they relatively rarely advertise in the subtitles after the program, and they play a simple "acknowledgement", and more are various product placement ads. For example, the cars used by the protagonists, such as the computers used, are all trademarks that will be displayed, and if the trademarks are displayed, isn't that product placement? Maybe a play is sponsored by Chevrolet, then all the cars in the play are Chevrolet, and then after parking, there will be a Chevrolet logo on the front of the car, which is also very normal. But the Japanese side rarely uses such a method, and in such a strange island country as theirs, the acknowledgment is not placed on the final subtitles. It's after the theme song or something is over. Before the feature film begins. A page with the word "provide" comes out, and the names of several manufacturers are written on it, which is considered an acknowledgement!
After the "provision" is finished, the main drama of such a cartoon is finally about to begin. The first image that appears is a shot of a city in the desert. It's a city that still looks very lively, with children playing in the streets and various storefronts doing business on the streets. It doesn't look like the overall period background or anything is not very old. This Xiao Wei's parents have never read any "Fullmetal Alchemist" novels and comics, and this is the first time they have come into contact with the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist". So they think it's a novelty. Soon after the children finished playing, I saw two people, one tall and one short, appearing in the camera, and the two asked for two drinks at the bar outside the door of a snack bar, and then at such a time, the shopkeeper's antique radio somehow fell off the cabinet and broke it all at once.
Then I saw a tall man in armor who was going to help the shopkeeper repair such a radio, and I saw him draw a circle in the ground with chalk, and then draw a six-pointed star, and then put the radio in such a circle. Then I saw that he seemed to be reciting some incantation, and then he slapped the circle he had just drawn with both hands. All at once such a radio was repaired! At that time, the shopkeeper was moved, so he hurriedly asked if these two people were legendary alchemists!
At such a time, the two men confessed. Then there is the introduction of such a world in the anime - this is an alchemist's fantasy world, in such a world, as long as the principle of equivalent exchange is followed, then you can make alchemy, you can make all kinds of things. For example, turning sand into glass, for example, absorbing all kinds of iron elements from the ground, and then alchemy becomes a weapon! However, in such a world, the usual alchemists need to draw an alchemy circle before they can start alchemy, but in such a fantasy world, there are some people who can do alchemy without an alchemy circle, such as the short protagonist is one of them!
Such an introduction quickly focused the attention of a family of three on such a small yellow-haired protagonist. In such a cartoon, the yellow-haired protagonist is not tall, and at the same time he is not smiling. On the other hand, such a tall and big brother wants to make his brother laugh all day long. Although I don't know why the brothers' personalities are so different from their body shapes, I have to say that this is still quite dramatic, at least that's what Xiao Wei's parents think! Soon, the two of them heard something, as if the lord of such a city could actually resurrect the dead! This made the brothers suspicious, because in their cognition, it was absolutely impossible for the human body to be refined! If you want to succeed, unless there is something magical - the Philosopher's Stone!
With such suspicions, they lived in such a city for a while, and then met a girl. The lover of such a girl died, and she wanted to bring her lover back to life anyway, so she went to ask for such a lord. Especially after seeing the lord resurrect a dead bird in public, she was even more convinced that the lord could resurrect her lover. But the protagonists and brothers are puzzled and persuade the girl that it is basically impossible to succeed in such a thing as resurrection of life, especially when the human body is refined. Of course, the girl didn't believe it, so the girl ran to the lord for help, and at this time, the two protagonists also wondered if the lord had the Philosopher's Stone, so they followed.
As a result, who knows what the lord behind has already said to the girl, as if the alchemists of these countries will rob the lord of all the philosopher's stones on behalf of the power, so the protagonists are equivalent to being designed! Then one of the lords used the Philosopher's Stone to change the ground to a sand ground where the alchemy circle could not be drawn, and at the same time released various beasts to attack the protagonist. But who knew that as soon as the protagonist touched the ground with his hands folded, he directly pulled out a metal two-handed sword from underground! The protagonist doesn't need an alchemy array to launch alchemy at all! Such a situation directly stunned the lord, and at this time, the tiger and eagle released by the lord before also tore apart one of the protagonist's trousers and one sleeve. At this time, everyone noticed that one of the protagonist's arms and legs were metal!
And the protagonist said to such a wide-eyed girl at this time, this is why they told her before that they couldn't resurrect the dead, because they tried to refine the human body, but the consequence was that the person who wanted to be resurrected was not resurrected, and his limbs were taken away! And then of course, it's going to be a big fight! As a result, during the war, I found out that the younger brother who was tall and big in armor was not wearing armor at all, but armor! Such a younger brother and his elder brother were in the process of refining the human body of the dead mother back then, the younger brother lost his body and only his soul remained, while the elder brother lost an arm and a leg! There is no way, this brother has stored his brother's soul on such a armor, and it looks as if his brother is walking in armor!
When the plot progressed to this point, the Yoshioka couple were a little shocked! In their impressions, although animation has a certain youth orientation and adult orientation, that is, it tells more about the dark side or something, but those are also broadcast late at night, and half of what can be broadcast on Japanese TV during the day is a hot-blooded juvenile animation or a childish mess of children's animation. In those animations, the protagonists are basically brainless, basically single-celled animals, and then often mixed with some carefree and playful with their companions, the whole atmosphere is relatively relaxed. But in such a "Fullmetal Alchemist" it is different! Although such a cartoon looks like a juvenile animation, but now it shows that this kind of "forbidden thing" is a big mistake.,It's really like the content that only exists in various youth animations! And Fullmetal Alchemist, such a cartoon, actually has this kind of deeper, darker content?
As a result, the progress of the plot after that made the parents feel even more eye-opening - it seems that the Philosopher's Stone of the Lord turned out to be a replica, that is, a fake! So what kind of bird he resurrected has a time limit, and after the time limit, it will be completely exploded! Seeing this, the girl in the animation who has always wanted to resurrect her lover can't stand it directly! When I saw this, the first episode was over. Waiting for the theme song sung by Xiao Wei again at the end, this parents suddenly felt different from the first time. When they have a little bit of an understanding that such an animation is not so simple, but a little dark and a little mature, and then listen to the lyrics in their daughter's singing, it really makes them feel like they have a daughter! The vicissitudes of her daughter's singing, combined with the depth and darkness in the plot, always make them feel ...... There is a feeling that it is difficult to say, or that the sea has been difficult to water!
They didn't expect that their daughter was only 14 years old and could sing such a vicissitudes of song. Especially when such a song is coordinated with the plot, the lethality and appeal are really sufficient, and it directly makes people feel that such a song should be sung by people in their thirties and forties. But who knew that 14-year-old Xiao Wei was obviously very young, but she sang very tastefully! (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
