Introduction

Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, the once long and long 2014 has ushered in its end, and the growing chill is about to leave us. In the past three hundred and sixty-five days and nights, the ACG world is still turbulent and not calm. We are in or out of the circle, and we are sometimes worried about this "turbulence" and "great change", sometimes laughing, and enjoying the infinite fun brought to us by ACG. At the end of the year, looking back on the various experiences we have experienced in the past year, it is inevitable that there will be several emotions. So, what are some of the haunting events that have happened in the anime industry that we know and love in the past year? Of course, the definition of "big things" inevitably has some subjective factors, today's ACG world is like a huge and complex rivers and lakes, three religions and nine streams are all-encompassing, for different audience groups, the definition of major events is obviously very different, so this article has the right to throw bricks and stones, only responsible for waking up everyone's sporadic memories, and then make up for it, you still need to complete it yourself.

The queen-palace king is still strong and incomparable, and Long Aotian has always been domineering

When it comes to the phenomenon of Long Aotian in the ACG world, it actually raised its head as early as 2014. The popularity of a "Sword Art Online" seems to awaken the early memories of the powerful male protagonists, and a black and white thorny rose has opened out of thin air in the sea of gentle and indecisive harem male protagonists, and has also successfully further spread the YY elements of the big starting point on the platform of ACG. And in 2014, this wind is still howling, and the dragons are as proud as they are, destroying the world.

Although the craze for light novel adaptation animation has cooled down slightly this year (the reverse product of the blowout adaptation frenzy in 2012 and 2013, the manufacturers who swarmed up finally calmed down a little), but the strong masterpiece still firmly controls the position of the wall of its masterpiece (not that IS, please do not sit down), "Sword Art Online" timely launched the second season of the animation with guns and bullets flying GGO chapter, cleverly re-emerged at the point in time when the popularity has changed slightly, and continued to attract attention for half a year, Although the quality of the anime adaptation is different, it is clear that the black-clothed swordsman with the dual swords in his hand will continue to drift away on the road of Gao Daquan.

Another one that vents domineering to the point of incomparable is of course the annual topic masterpiece "The Inferior Student of the Magic Science University". Si Boda also hung the name of his inferior student for a long time, and while he and his sister Qingqing and I were in a no-man's land, he completely abused all kinds of opponents, and then seemed to be tired of boring words and illustrations, and stepped into the tide of animation in one fell swoop. In view of the "uniqueness" of the plot, Devil Bad has received a high depth of free warm-up that others can't achieve from the beginning. As soon as the animation was broadcast, this kind of topicality was burned to the top, and the X-explosive aura of Uncle Tatsuya, who could move, made many viewers linger.

Perhaps light novel scripts are no longer a panacea for box office and sales, but it is conceivable that even after 2014, the heroes of light novels will still be active on the big stage of ACGN. By the way, after "Sword Art Online" entered 2014, the sales of the original novel exceeded 11 million copies, reaching the third highest in the history of the light novel industry.

Wine is the fragrance of Chen, try to discuss the new era value of classic old works

2014 is a year of old trees blooming, and we can see many familiar figures in animation, film industry, and even Japanese dramas. Although this phenomenon of old wine in new bottles is largely due to the current "script shortage" phenomenon in the ACG world, from the point of view of the results, it is not a good thing for many kind people who have been staying at home for a long time. Many years of regret can be made up for in this form, and it feels like finding something beloved that was lost many years ago (not an exaggeration).

An animated remake of "Sailor Moon",Evoke how many old girls (and cute dolphin otaku) green memories,I thought that the ribbon transformation memory that had been sealed in the groove of the brain gutter with time suddenly awakened,The regret caused by the limitation of the level of the animation system back then,After more than 20 years, it has been filled in a little bit.,Even the style of painting is perfectly restored to the style of the original comics.,It's just that Mrs. Fujian's painting style is actually quite different from the animation of many years ago.,So it's good or bad., I'm afraid we will have to wait for the inspection of time (BD sales) to know.

The former curiosity-seeking masterpiece "Parasite" was also animated in 2014, a fifth of a century after the serialization of comics. For this work, which can be called the curiosity and speculative enlightenment of the majority of readers, it has been a pain in the hearts of many fans for a long time. Fortunately, the wish was finally fulfilled, although after twenty cold and summer, there is a big gap between the animation painting style and the original comics, but in terms of the number of episodes currently broadcast, the supervisor has basically grasped the essence of the work, and for my old house, it can be said that it is another wish beyond the end of "Hunter".

The memories are still stained with star frost, and the white eyebrow fragrance is dissipated in the karmic fire of Kyoto...... In 2014, the live-action movie of "Rogue Kenshin Kyoto Great Fire Chapter" was released, and the box office was close to 600 million yen in just one weekend. The time has not washed away the infinite charm of the classics, and after many years, the handsome red-haired swordsman is still active on the stage, although in a different dimension, the mellow fragrance is timeless. After watching "Japan's three-dimensional movies also need two-dimensional to save", it is not a lie.

Thanks to 2014, we can regain one memory after another that we have almost forgotten, and in this prosperous year, the majority of readers have once again tasted the romance of the end of Showa and the beginning of Heisei.

The goddesses/gods of the 2.5th dimension who marry other people's wives (husbands).

2014 seems to be a festive and auspicious year, I don't know if I want to have a good fortune in the Year of the Horse, a large number of voice actors chose to enter the palace of marriage in this first year. Although the news of the voice actor's marriage has been heard from time to time in the past few years, the scale and weight of this kind of news have increased a lot in 2014. One after another, the first-line voice actors, carrying the blessings (tears) of the voice controls, entered the palace of marriage without hesitation.

On January 15th, Kana Acheng got married, and since then, Xiao Baiyang, Naiako, and Miss Suosuo Mei have become the dependents of the mysterious general staff; On June 8th, Miyuki Sawajo got married, and the S aura of the True Red Queen and Senior Sister Poison Island had their own exclusive husband to savor; On July 4th, Shotaro Morikubo got married, and for this, there are many rotten girls who beat their chests and said that heterosexuality or something is completely unacceptable; On August 4th, Hitomi Tengme got married, and everyone said that if Ito Jing hadn't been so ruthless last year......

The voice actors can be regarded as the special existence of the 2.5th dimension, they were born because of ACG, and they are also popular because of ACG, and the infinite charm of the second dimension of Tong guò has won a unique position in the hearts of otaku. But after all, they are different from the perfect characters in the second dimension who don't need to eat and sleep and can stay young forever, they are just ordinary people, and they all need to eat, sleep, get married and have children. It's just that this tide of marriage came too fast and too often, so that in 2014 it showed an uncontrollable momentum, and it was a pity that your voice-activated little hearts had to bear the impact of heavy information one after another. Luckily, most people don't have too many natal numbers, and on average, the blow is still within an acceptable range (laughs). Thankfully, similar to Haruka Tomatsu and Toyosaki's boyfriends were exposed, and the fans were furious, but fortunately, the unpleasant incident of sending a knife to the voice actor did not appear again, maybe because most of the voice actors who got married have deep qualifications, and the relative fan base is also relatively mature and calm? We don't know, but as a special form of star-chasers, being able to maintain a tolerant and peaceful heart is the highest state of true love.

Steel and roses, the triumph of the little thin book

2014 is a year of steel and roses - well, it's a bit abstract to say this, with the afterglow of C85 and the unfolding of C86, the ship mother continued to sweep away the supreme strength of the fandom, and even surpassed the king of Comike in the past dynasties - Oriental, and jumped to the throne of the king of Xiao Boben in one fell swoop. From C85's 1100+ to C86's 2300+, regardless of what kind of mental (physical) journey these cute girls in armor have experienced, C86's "feat" of defeating the East in one fell swoop is concerned, and its achievement has undoubtedly been a milestone.

In fact, when this web game was first launched, how many people expected it to be so brilliant in the future? However, under the careful creation of the Kadokawa Group's efforts of the whole company, supplemented by the viral communication marketing of various artists and people in the ACG industry on major social networking sites, a monster-level super popular series finally matured completely in 2014, and the overwhelming number of books is only one of the appearances, one character after another of the clay, figurines, adaptations of novels continue to come out, plus the upcoming animation...... The success of the ship girl shows the charm of the collective to the public, and a large number of fans of all tastes can find true love for appetite in it, and the cute natural black belly and Nadeshiko are all available, fully exerting the advantages of the anthropomorphic system. Zhai Xiang's illustration + Zhai's dubbing + awakening some of the remnants and some souls in the hearts of the otaku - one qiē is ready, and then you just need to smile and count the bills.

For us, although we can't empathize with the theme of ship girls like Japanese otaku, the majority of otaku people who have been immersed in otaku culture for many years still jumped into the pit without hesitation, transcending the barriers of nationality (and the Internet), and witnessed the fermentation of this miracle together in 2014, and a few years later, when we recall 2014, we will inevitably take out this miraculous work again.

Today, have you gambled on a boat?

Young people are good xx, don't keep thinking about gambling on boats.

So, which one do you love the most?

Never–say－goodbye

There is a gathering and there is a dispersion, this is an eternal truth. But whenever parting comes, we still can't help but feel more sentimental. 2014 is also a year of farewell, in this not too long 365 days, one after another works have chosen to draw a stop in such a year after accompanying us on a long journey.

In February, the hustle and bustle of "Demon Daddy" settled, and the lively and absurd drama of the Demon World vs Human World came to an abrupt end, and readers can only reminisce in their memories of the green years when the bad boy dad and the poisonous tongue maid circled around the prince of the demon world; In March, the comic of "Something from the Sky" ended the seven-year itch, and the legend of Opai and the little pants came to an end, and the turbulent days were gone; In April, "My Goddess" finally ended the 26-year-long love run, and Hotaru and Belo Dandy were finally able to escape the curse of the infinite loop unit drama, happy (?) hand in hand; And in November, more heavyweight news stirred up the entire ACG world, and the ninjas of Konoha Village also unloaded their empty bags and lowered their tired bodies after fifteen years of swords and swords, and a song of love and hatred across the turn of the century returned to tranquility together with the blood and water of Naruto and Sasuke. Even the official television station, which is serious and unsmiling, has changed its past stinginess and made space to report on this news that is enough to go down in history.

The end of each work is tantamount to the passing of a youthful dream. At least five years, more than ten years or even twenty years, how many people have only once in the cardamom years stained with the traces of these works, at the end of the time, looking back on the past works when they began to serialize, even if there is no vicissitudes of life, at least a few sighs, sigh the ruthlessness and swiftness of the passage of time.

The end is cruel, sentimental, but by no means hopeless. No matter which work it is, although the serialization has come to an end, the story still continues, the only difference is that there are no more hot manga updates waiting for us to enjoy at that familiar point in time every week. The ensuing end is just a significant addition to the extraordinary year of 2014.

All－Hail－the－Queen

2014 is the year of the Queen! I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate, for various reasons, the release time of "Frozen" in Chinese mainland and Japan was postponed to 2014, so with the chill, along with the popular "Letitgo", it was overwhelming praise for the Ice Queen.

A "Frozen" once again imprinted Disney, a name that was already too familiar to be familiar with, on the iris of people all over the world. From Europe and the United States to East Asia, a storm that belongs to the ice and snow dance almost never stops. Especially in Japan, which was released late, this "cold wave" decorated the island country in 2014 with crystal clear, and the box office of 10 billion has become the historical crown of animated films...... If it weren't for Disney's strict ban on the circulation of fancomics for its products on the market, it would be difficult to say who would have won the Oiran on Comike.

The same is true in China, although the release coincided with the Spring Festival, and "Where Are You Going, Dad", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and other "family movies" scheduled, the film scheduling rate was extremely low, the first-day film scheduling rate was less than 10%, and the early publicity was insufficient, but it still relied on the super high quality of the film and the infinite charm of the queen to capture the hearts of the majority of audiences (especially the houses) in one fell swoop, and then the box office played a triumphant song all the way, and after "Frozen" won the Oscar on March 3, the schedule in the mainland was postponed to March 20 for a rare precedent, the final box office reached 300 million soft girl coins.

Too much praise seems to be redundant for "Frozen", Elsa, a new star who is both traditional and modern, both integrates the current various cute aesthetic interests but retains the ancient style of Disney, has already been filled with a first-line "star" between his gestures, the winter of 2014 belongs to the queen, she is using her actions to show the world, not only the Japanese understand the "cute way", I big Disney is the real king who leads the trend!

Tangled domestic animation,Parallel between tall and undisciplined

It should be said that for the domestic original animation industry, the general environment in 2014 is still not easy, but this has not completely extinguished the spark of domestic animation. In addition to the original comics that are extremely active on online platforms, the animation of folk zuò has also increasingly entered the eyes of the audience.

The release of the movie version of "Qin Shi Mingyue" has awakened the memories of many people's early years, and everyone's thoughts have drifted back to the eventful years when relatives were separated. The beautiful picture and the embarrassing story can be said to represent the highest level of the current domestic 3D film animation system, although there are still a lot of slots to spit out, but it is undoubtedly a kind of progress to see the "theatrical version" of our own familiar works in the theater. With the profound plot nurtured by traditional culture and the wide giant screen, do you also feel a little high-level experience?

In 2014, low-cost animation produced by the private sector also sprung up, and it was even more unconstrained by various external forms, treating festivals as rubble and regulations as passers-by. A series of funny and complaining animations were born, so that the nonsensical and undisciplined "crooked" wind more vividly impacted the pure hearts of the majority of readers in a dynamic form, which was hilarious, but also felt a little different vitality. The animated versions of "Mr. Marvel in China" and "Corpse Brother", which have been a topic of conversation before, have been on the air, and the Chinese original animation industry, which has always been like a backwater, seems to have finally caused a few ripples. Although the road ahead is still full of thorns, it seems that there is still one or two more sparks of hope than in the past.

Epilogue 2014 is about to go away, in this year of laughter, tears, sighs, and sentimentality, what remains unchanged is the many memories that ACGN has brought us. Looking back does not mean sticking to the past, and summarizing the past year is more conducive to looking forward to the upcoming new year. I believe that anime can still bring us supreme fun, if we can not forget our original intention, with the most sincere and pure emotions to enjoy, that is the best praise for ourselves.

Goodbye, 2014, thank you for bringing us a qiē.
