Wen Xun's "Fullmetal Alchemist" has caused a lot of repercussions in the Japanese otaku world! Although Wen Xun's novels have been published before, comics are also in the process of continuous serialization, and even a single book of comics has been released, but after all, some people still don't read comics much and only watch animation. For example, there is a TV station in Tokyo, Japan, called tvtokyo, which is translated into Chinese is TV Tokyo, such a station, it is really otaku TV, and cartoons are played all day long.

TV Tokyo is currently the TV station with the largest number of animated series in Japan, and is famous for its animation and variety shows. Among them, the anime "Pokémon", "Neon Genesis Evangelion", "Detective Keroro", "Hamtaro", "Naruto", "Charge 21", "Guardian Sweetheart! and Yu-Gi-Oh have been broadcast on television stations around the world, and the protagonist of Pokémon, Pikachu, has become the station's mascot. In China, where we live in Wenxun, many TV stations want to broadcast CCTV's "News Network" from 7 to 7:30 in the evening, so we ordinary people will not be surprised that no matter what station it is transferred to at a time, the picture is the same.

As for Japan, unlike China, only one national television station is NHK, which is really public, and the other five major television networks are privately owned. The five TV networks -- Nippon Television, Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation, TV Tokyo, TV Asahi, and Fuji TV -- basically don't broadcast NHK news, so basically you can't see anything on the Japanese side, and all TV stations are showing the same picture news! Unless it's a particularly urgent event, such as 911. Or rather, a particularly big disaster. Even the death of the king of Japan and the like. But among these TV stations. There's one TV station that's wonderful, and that's TV Tokyo. As the smallest of the five major television networks, such a TV station is quite distinctive -- no matter what breaking news happens, even if the other four TV networks plus NHK report it collectively, they will not be in urgent news!

For example, it has always been rumored in the otaku group in Japan that according to a few Taiwan newspapers, there is a standard that allows ordinary people to quickly understand the seriousness of the matter - the first level, that is, NHK breaking news reports, so it is enough to pay attention to such a thing. And the second level, that is, the other four private TV stations, also started to broadcast emergency news. Then such a thing is likely to be very big, such as the United States encountered 911 or something. Then you need to be vigilant. And at such a time, Tokyo TV is still playing cartoons as usual, and there is not even a subtitle for a marquee! So at the third level, TV Tokyo began to insert marquee subtitles under the screen of the anime! At such a time, it can be said that the otaku will be preparing to evacuate, and it is likely that Japan will have a major earthquake and tsunami.

And at the fourth level, that is, Tokyo TV didn't open emergency news or anything, but inexplicably changed the schedule, so you really should go out and evacuate immediately! Level 5. If other TV stations suddenly start broadcasting the Japanese prime minister's briefing, what kind of remarks the prime minister has made to the people of the whole country, and so on. Then a state of emergency was introduced. And the last level is that the Tokyo TV has actually started to broadcast emergency news! Then this is definitely a sign of the end of the world, no run! So such a TV station, there is no news at all, and it is just cartoons, cartoons and cartoons all day long! So like the target audience of such a TV station, will it be people who can still read comics all day long?

Although Japan is said to be a country of anime, the things that adults and children watch are often different. Wen Xun once heard that Japanese manga is so divided into levels - if you take yo-yo as the theme, then the children's manga is "Let's play yo-yo together", and then the shonen manga is "Your dad beat my dad with a yo-yo, and today I'm going to beat you with a yo-yo!" And then the youth cartoon is "Back then, your dad beat my dad with a yo-yo, and robbed my mom, causing my dad to die of depression, and now I want revenge, I want to beat you and snatch your woman again, and let you die of depression!" And what about the comics that adults read, it will become "Your company's yo-yo defeated our company back then, but this year's new product yo-yo of our company will definitely beat you and regain the first place in the market!" ”

So obviously, in such a country with a lot of manga and animation, there are different works to watch for different age groups. From a business point of view, this is the so-called market refinement. In such a detailed market, there are really many people who haven't paid attention to this "Fullmetal Alchemist" before. But when such an anime was broadcast after "One Piece", it really shocked too many people and liked it at once! After watching such an Fullmetal Alchemist for the first time, many people's first reaction is that such a cartoon can still be so realistic? That's right, realistic! In the previous cartoons, it was really hot-blooded!

Starting from various cartoons such as super robots in the 70s, it is a story of the struggle of various hot-blooded protagonists, and it reached a peak in the 80s! Whether it's "Saint Seiya" or "Fist of the North Dipper" or "Dragon Ball", it's all kinds of fights! The protagonists are all characters who want to move forward! And in the 90s, it was about the same! Like "Rogue Kenshin", like "Slam Dunk", or even like "Yuyu Hakusho" and the like, these are all battle-based animated comics! And then their protagonists, on the whole, there is no dark place, the overall is sunny and upward, and the overall cartoon style is all light-hearted and interesting, plus the tension of various struggles!

But in such a "Fullmetal Alchemist", then everything is different! In the first episode, it was broadcast that the protagonist and his younger brother had a forbidden human body refining in order to resurrect their mother, but as a result, the protagonist lost one of his hands and feet, not to mention, and his younger brother didn't even have a body! What a mistake! So the protagonist says that he is not looking for the Philosopher's Stone now to resurrect his mother, but to get his brother's body back! He wants atonement! Such a protagonist is very deep at the beginning, there are no funny scenes, and the protagonist is a little unsmiling, but the younger brother wants to make his brother laugh all day long. The protagonists have made a big mistake before the opening, and the rest of the plot is "atonement". Honestly, it's all so different! According to the habits of Japanese animation in the past, the protagonist and his younger brother want to resurrect their mother, they may not succeed at first, but as they travel, as they practice, they will eventually find the Philosopher's Stone or something, and then finally resurrect their mother, which becomes a happy ending.

But in this "Fullmetal Alchemist", it is different, the protagonist said in the first episode that he doesn't want to resurrect his mother, he just wants to get his brother's body back, he wants to atone for his sins! Such a theme obviously implies that the protagonist of the finale will not resurrect his mother in the future, just such a comparison, is that not shocking enough? This is no longer a happy ending! And there is also the first episode in which the lord deceived the people in various ways, and the little girl wanted her lover to come alive but was deceived by the lord, and finally gave people the feeling that in such a cartoon, it was really not the same as other cartoons, just if you want to do extra efforts, you will definitely succeed! Such a cartoon world, it is really the same as the real world, and if you work hard, you may not succeed, and even some things will not succeed!

Such a difference in worldview is so shocking! So when the first episode of such an anime aired, it directly caused a great shock among various groups in Japan, and everyone didn't expect a shonen manga to be drawn to such an extent! No one thought that such a story could be so deep! And in the next second and third episodes, one after another, it makes people see that the lives of other people in the story are not very happy! In addition to the girls in the first episode, the characters in other towns who appear in the second and third episodes are also the same as the girls in the first episode, and they all have people they want to redeem. Their lives are not perfect, there are all kinds of shortcomings, and there are people they can't forget! Such an atmosphere is very special! It's completely different from other animations!

In other animations, passers-by in the cities are living happily, or living happily, and basically few people are miserable. And in such an animation of "Fullmetal Alchemist", everyone's life is not perfect, and everyone has their own shortcomings. It's just too much like the real world! In the real world, where are so many people happy? Everyone has someone who they can't forget and want to redeem, such a person may be a family member, a lover, or something they regret and want to redeem. These are life! And "Fullmetal Alchemist" is simply like transferring the heaviness and profundity of life to the cartoon! And the result of this is to make everyone feel so different, so the direct consequence is that the ratings of such an anime will be close to "One Piece" little by little!
