Attentive readers may have discovered that compared with the past few years, the current light novel works have a relatively large difference in both the plot setting and the character of the protagonist, especially many protagonists are almost in an "invincible" position from beginning to end. And this phenomenon has also attracted the attention of light novel lovers. Recently, scripter Yuji Kobayashi posted a tweet about the light novel editor's opinion on the current phenomenon, and attached his own comments.

Yuji Kobayashi: "That's what I heard from the light novel editor. When it comes to the tendency of recent works, you can find that many protagonists have been in the strongest state since they first appeared. These characters don't fail, they don't get annoyed, they don't get entangled. Therefore, they do not need any special training. 'Hmm~ It's a distressing time now~"

"I mentioned earlier that 'light novel protagonists who don't fail, don't get annoyed, don't get entangled'. To be precise, it should be said that the main characteristic of this kind of character is that "although they are just ordinary people in the real world, once they come to another world (or gain power), they become the strongest beings from the beginning, so they will not fail, they will not be troubled, and they will not have entanglements". And if it's in another world, the character will need to start an adventure right at the beginning of the work. ”

However, Kobayashi also believes that this type of protagonist is not recent. However, there is a difference in the way the work is depicted. "In fact, the story of the protagonist who does not fail, does not suffer, and does not get entangled has been there since the past. It's just that the previous situation was that this kind of protagonist was not a first-person character, but was constantly pursued by the first-person character and existed. For example, the protagonist of Sherlock Holmes is not Sherlock Holmes, but Watson. Of course, strictly speaking, Sherlock Holmes also fails, gets upset, and gets entangled. ”

I believe that according to the characteristics of Kobayashi, the names of a series of works should immediately come to mind. Of course, some netizens replied that in fact, the role that best fits this setting should be the male number one Jotaro in "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure Part III Stardust Fighter", and listed Jotaro's characteristics: "High school student, handsome guy, although he is very stylish, he has no love for beautiful women, he is scary but he doesn't work particularly hard, he has a smart mind, he has special abilities that others can't get, his relatives are big tyrants, and his mother is young and beautiful." ”

It should be said that works of any era can only attract the attention of readers if they are rich in themes and diverse genres. If the works are the same, I believe everyone will soon feel bored. Tencent Animation also hopes that writers can open their minds and bring us more surprises.

Japanese industry insiders reveal the current situation of the animation industry: animation is very dark, busy from morning to night

Akiko Nakano, a person in the Japanese animation industry, recently revealed the current situation in the Japanese animation industry on Twitter, breaking the news that animation is very dark, and no matter how much work is done, it can't be done.

Akiko Nakano is an animation practitioner in Japan, working as concept art, painting supervisor, character design, etc.

The following is translated from @Akiko Nakano's Twitter

@中野彰子: Nowadays, the animation is very finely drawn and the quality is much higher than before, but the unit price has not changed much (many Japanese animation companies set wages based on quantity). It's like going to a restaurant and ordering a bowl of somen noodles, only to have three more fried shrimps. Everyone knows that you can't get shrimp if you don't pay much, but in the animation industry, it is natural to buy good ingredients at a very low price.

@中野彰子: No matter how much you do, you can't finish the work. The animation industry is a dark industry.

Previously, some practitioners sued the animation company for arrears of overtime pay, and some people chose to commit suicide because they couldn't stand the intensity of work, which shows that only the practitioners themselves understand the sadness behind the industry......

The movie "X-Men: Future Past" released the latest PV preview screening, which received rave reviews

"X-Men: Future Past", which will be released simultaneously in North America on May 23, recently released the latest trailer PV, the scene describes the scene of a transformed woman breaking into a US military base, this video is actually included in the trailer of the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" that has been released, and this trailer is uniformly allocated by 20th Century Fox, so the question of "whether there will be a linkage between X-Men and Spider-Man" between FANS, of course, this is just FANS' speculation. After the "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", which has already won the box office, people's attention has also begun to focus on the new work "X-Men: Future Past"! Please see the new teaser PV in the header image.

In addition, according to media reports, on May 8, local time in the United States, the movie "X-Men: Future Past" was screened, and some reporters and fans watched the movie first. Judging from the early reviews, most viewers praised the film, with many saying, "This is the best X-Men film." ”

As a prequel to "X-Men", "X-Men: Future Past" tells the story of mutants who are hunted by the new special fighter "Sentinel" and face the danger of extinction. Wolverine must travel through time to find Professor X and Magneto and change history.

The film brings together two generations of Magneto and Professor X, as well as Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Halle Berry, Fan Bingbing and many other luxury casts. Such a huge team, as well as the proposition of traveling through time and space, is undoubtedly a huge challenge, how to deal with the relationship between the characters and the narrative mode to achieve good results? Many people have been sweating for Brian Singer before, and he proved to be very good at getting the job done. Commentators and media people who watched the movie gave a thumbs up.

“Wow!「 X-Men: Days of Future Past" is fantastic, the most complete and enjoyable film in the "X-Men" series. What a great Marvel movie...... I think the fans are going crazy about it. —Sean O'Connell, columnist

"X-Men: Days of Future Past' is definitely the best X-Men movie to date, and you can't miss it." - Paul Salfen, host of "InsideEntertainment".

"I have to say that it's so cool to see two generations of Professor X appear in the same movie at the same time. Two hours and 10 minutes of film, I wish it could be a little longer. ”——StevenWeintraub

"The film is really good, in my opinion it's the best X-Men movie. It's like "The Avengers", except that the protagonists are mutants. —LatinoReview, Latinoreview-Kel

"After watching "X-Men: Days of Future Past", I was simply amazed! The action and emotion are in place. There was a scene where I was willing to spend a full-price movie ticket to watch it repeatedly for two hours. —FOX commentator

In the overwhelming praise, there were also a few negative comments, mainly questioning that some of the characters' characters were not three-dimensional and full, and some fans said that after the two "Wolverine" independent films, Wolverine seemed to have a slightly heavier weight in this movie. But many people hold the opposite view, believing that Wolverine's portrayal was very successful.

In terms of acting, Sean O'Connell praised James McAvoy as an excellent interpretation of Professor X's heart. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Quicksilver is also praised by many people, he is a surprise in the film. "Any idea of which character is awesome? Quicksilver, I'm not kidding, there's a scene that's amazing. Sean O'Connell tweeted.

And then there was a strange noise. I feel like a beautiful girl on the outside and an uncle on the inside (laughs). However, when it comes to the longed-for voice actor "Satomi Koshiro", it immediately becomes very strict.

The administrator of NicoSound, a niconico audio extraction site, has been arrested for infringement

Previously, the unofficial website "NicoSound", which is used to extract audio MP3s of videos on the Niconico website, announced the closure of the closure, and many users of the site said that it was "difficult to get used to". Recently, according to a report from the Hokkaido Police Headquarters, the Teine Police Station has arrested the manager of "NicoSound" (male, 29 years old) on May 8 for copyright infringement.

"NicoSound" is a website that makes it easy for users to extract high-quality audio, as long as you enter the address of the Niconico video you want to extract audio into the website, you can convert and MP3 extract, and generally about 1500 videos will be extracted on this website every day. However, such extraction and the downloading of music texts by an unspecified number of people violated the Japanese Copyright Protection Law, forming a large-scale infringement and illegal distribution, so it was complained by JASRAC, a Japanese general association, and was finally banned by the police.

Although NicoSound is a free website, advertising on its website has become its profit model, and its current revenue has reached 13,000 yen.

This arrest is also the first case in Japan in which a website has been shut down for copycat "parasitic" websites, and the operator has been arrested for copyright violations.

"Let's shake hands" - Man arrested shaking hands with female high school students inside the tram

On May 7, the Ebino Department of the Miyazaki Prefectural Police arrested Mototo Katsunuma (34), a suspect who was running a study class in Ijiin Town, Hioki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, on suspicion of violating the Miyazaki Prefecture Confusion Prevention Ordinance by shaking hands with a female high school student (16 years old) inside a train.

At around 6:45 p.m. on the 1st, the arrested suspect sat in front of a high school girl on a regular train on the JR Yoshito Line moving in the city of えびの and accosted him with a conversation called "Let's shake hands", and then shook the outstretched right hand of the high school girl who did not refuse.

Regarding the reason for the arrest, the Ezono Agency said, "There are several other cases of asking for a handshake inside the train."

Note: "Confusion" actually refers to behavior that annoys, dislikes, or at least unpleasantness to passengers. The "Misleading Acts Prevention Ordinance" is an ordinance to prevent violent acts that cause trouble to the public and to ensure the stability of residents' lives.

[Netizens' reactions]

You shouldn't just be arrested like that

At first glance, I thought it was a very common change of state, although the method is a bit old-fashioned, but it is a master

Why don't you say no......

- Forcibly take all AKB otaku to the police station!

It's too much. This is also a crime, huh?

If you don't give money, you will be arrested

Do you want to be arrested just by shaking hands? In this case, the police can catch enough w

This is a new method

If you are a handsome guy, you will not be called to the police and you will not be arrested

- The Confusion Prevention Act is amazing

Have you finally fallen into the world where you can be arrested with a handshake?

It seems that you still have to buy a handshake ticket honestly

・If you think about it, you can add it to the ranking

The April popularity list in the hearts of game fans: "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book R" topped the list

According to a reader survey, the famous Japanese game magazine Famitsu has rated the new popular anime list in April this year, and the ranking is divided into three categories: male list, female list and comprehensive list, no matter which list it is, the mystery animation "Kanedaichi Juvenile Incident Book R" for all ages is among the best. Of course, the most popular on the male list is "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" Part 3!

In addition, the works on both the male and female lists also include "Devil's Mystery", "Inferior Students of Magic Universities", "Dragon Ball Reform", "Game Life" and "Insect Master Sequel", basically Lily, Hot Blood, Sister Control, and Healing are all accounted for, and the unique "Volleyball Boy" and "Interpreter of the Hidden City" on the women's list are actually easy to understand, and the male list has the unique "Do you want some rabbits", "Sidnia's Knight", "Eskar and Rogi's Workshop ~ The Alchemist of the Dusk Sky ~" There is no doubt, but many netizens complained, why is there no "LOVELIVE"?

Of course, this list was originally a work selected by ordinary gamers, and the absence of "LOVELIVE" actually only shows that the overlap between idol otaku and game otaku is not reflected on this list. Here are the complaints of some netizens.

[Japanese netizens complained]

There is no "LOVELIVE"...... Is it?

If Kaneda's amount of Dragon Ball can be on the throne, this must be a vote for young people, right?

・The absence of "LOVELIVE" must be to maintain the "Idol Master", the intention is obvious, okay?

The idol genre is only popular among special audiences, and ordinary people will not be interested.

Gamers are generally "idol masters", right?

- The strangest thing is that there is no "ping pong", right? [The editor said that there is a comprehensive list! ]

The worst WTF ever: 10 weird children's toys that scare parents!

In this day and age, it's easy to find counterfeit toys on the Internet or in a small store on your doorstep, which are shoddy and have strange tastes. But in this day and age, even some authorized toys sold in regular stores can make you doubt your life......

When these tragedies of the great industrial era of the toy industry hit the shelves, everyone from the marketing director to the staff of the Quality Supervision Bureau to the toy designers should resign. Some of them were immediately removed from the shelves because of angry parent protests; But others are still on sale, and it's amazing when you realize what to look out for. We all know that there are strict safety standards for children's toys in the United States, which govern chemical issues such as excessive lead. However, these standards do not protect children and adolescents from being mentally polluted by some strange things.

In 2005, more than 200 injuries and 20 fatalities in children under the age of 15 were caused by toys. In the face of such objective facts, product recalls are common, and even some high-profit toys have been recalled and banned. Even if a toy isn't dangerous, it can be recalled if it attracts strong criticism. On the black market, collectors flock to these banned toys, such as the original Megatron model of the Transformers series, which is banned from sale on Ebay because it can transform into a toy gun. On Amazon, the original unopened version of the model has been fried to more than 200 dollars. From sexually innuendo to extreme danger, let us show you the 10 worst children's toys of all time.

10. Pole Dancer Doll

Dolls often have a variety of background identities that satisfy people's fantasies, such as veterinarian Barbie, lawyer Barbie, celebrity Barbie and so on. These different personas provide positive role models for a younger, more impressionable audience. As for the idea of a pole dancer doll, it must have been killed from the beginning. However, the doll in the picture above was actually produced in a smooth way! In 2009, a USB-controlled pole dancer doll was released at MarksandSpencer, a high street retail store in the UK, and of course, it was quickly taken off the shelves. Objectively speaking, we don't think this fancy tabletop toy is geared towards children, but angry parents don't care who your audience is.

9. Smooth wheel 2000 with vibration function

What a pure broomstick! It's just a copy of the one used by Harry Potter, who is it that provokes whom? But why would you add a vibration function? Parents who buy this broom for their children tend not to install batteries. In addition, there is a guy on Amazon who bought this tool for his girlfriend as a shameful thing. [I saw a large wave of 18 forbidden HP fandom attack......]

8. Oreo Barbie

In 1997, Mattel and Nabisco teamed up to launch "Oreo Barbie". For some reason, none of the two companies realized that "Oreo" was a word used to describe a black person who behaved like a white person, which was very wrong and rude. So when the black version of "Oreo Barbie" was released, it caused an outcry. Now you can buy the white version of Oreo Barbie for a few dollars, but because Mattel recalled all unsold stock products, the black version has been fried for more than 100 dollars.

7. Explorer Aquarium Pet Dora

This "virtual pet" could have been a very decent toy, but who told it to look like a male bio-breeder or an adult toy. The flesh-pink paint only makes this qiē worse. What designer wouldn't realize that this shape is terrible? Maybe he/she just doesn't care. Anyway, the huge "D" in the middle of the toy no longer seems to represent "Dora".

6. Twin Towers Airplane Toys

In 2004, a company called Lishy bought a large number of small toys as a giveaway to put in candy packaging. The company bought from an import organization called L&MImport, and by the time they found out what they had bought, it was too late. Anyone can tell that this toy is an airplane sandwiched between two skyscrapers. It's no coincidence that the production number printed on the toy is 9011. The shocking toys were packed into 14,000 bags of candy, and no one bothered to glance at what it looked like. Of course, these candies were taken off the shelves after customer complaints.

5. Lego concentration camps

This Lego has never appeared on the market, as it is an "art" work by Polish artist Zbigniew Libera. In 1996, the LEGO company sponsored Liberia's creative materials, and the company logo appeared on the outer packaging. The company then stated that they did not know that Libera was taking their Lego bricks for this and threatened to sue Libera. In the end, the lawsuit was settled. In 2012, a museum in Warsaw acquired Libera's work for $71,800.

4. "Black Peter" toy

In the Netherlands, their Santa Claus is St. Nicholas, and his attendant is a black man named Black Peter. The Dutch at the festival often disguised themselves as black men and wore sweets to play this role. Although everyone is accustomed to it, it is very politically wrong to study it deeply, and this kind of behavior has been criticized for many years. Despite this, many manufacturers have produced Black Peter-related toys, including the German toy giant Playmobil. Playmobil's products are available in combinations of St. Nicholas and Black Peter, as well as three separate combinations of Black Peter models.

3. Fast-moving Mount Tai

Everyone called him "** Tarzan". This Disney action doll was meant to make him do karate moves, but it was too much like Tarzan doing something shameful. To make matters worse, he will also jerk up and down while yelling. This made him one of the greatest tragedies in the history of toys.

2. "Dim Sum Time" cauliflower dolls

In the 80s of the last century, cauliflower dolls dominated the toy cabinet of little girls. Mattel is also constantly working on new versions and characters, including the infamous "Dim Sum Time" doll. Among the accessories of this toy are food made of plastic, which children can feed to the cauliflower doll. But these dolls eat not only snacks, but also the fingers and hair of small children. Since there is no "close" button, there have been many accidents in which children have been bitten by mechanisms. Mattel received numerous complaints from angry parents, and the company decided to offer a $40 refund and put a warning sign in the toy box. But that wasn't enough, and the doll was forcibly removed from the shelves by the Customer Product Safety Committee.

1. The original version of the grass darts

To this day, you can still buy grass darts in stores, but in a safe version of the redesigned plastic head. The earliest grass darts were designed with heavy metal heads, enough to inflict lethal Yan zhòng damage. In 1988, the father of a daughter who was pierced to death by a dart organized a total ban on the product in the United States. Prior to 1988, although metal-tipped darts were forbidden to be sold as children's toys, anyone could buy them.

YOUNGJUMP is available in both paper and electronic formats

Shueisha's manga magazine "Weekly YOUNGJUMP", which has brought a lot of popular works to manga fans, has celebrated its 35th birthday this year. The 24th issue of 2014 on May 15 will be released as the 35th anniversary issue of the journal to celebrate the occasion.

In line with the publicity, we will also carry out a project in the area of digital delivery that has never been done before. Specifically, while the print version will go on sale on May 15, the "JUMPBOOK Store!" will be included. "Domestic e-book stores will also start a digital version of the paid delivery service.

Due to the large number of popular works on Weekly Youngjump, it is also a topic of interest which manga will be included in the digital edition. However, according to official news, including "Martian Xenomorphs", which is the frontispiece color page of this issue, as well as "The King of the World", "Tokyo Seed Eater", "Extremely Black Brunhilde" and other masterpieces will all be displayed in front of netizens. It is worth noting that the practice of the same day sale of both print and electronic magazines is the first time in the history of Weekly YOUNGJUMP.

The electronic version of "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" will be delivered from 5 o'clock on May 15 to 23:59 on June 11, which is about a month. In addition, the price of the digital version of Weekly Youngjump No. 24 is 315 yen (excluding tax), which is basically the same price as the paper version. In recent years, manga magazines have been moving further and further down the road to electronic editions, but most magazines have adopted the model of "paper editions are the same price as electronic editions". "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" is not exempt from vulgarity.

When it comes to the advantages of the electronic version, then it is natural that for those who do not want to walk around with magazines in hand, there is a chance to read comics "easily". However, most of the electronic magazines were delivered later than the print version, and many readers who wanted to watch the serialized plot had to continue to endure the torture of the heavy paper version. Now, "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" is taking the opportunity of the 35th anniversary issue to launch a concurrent release event, which may also bring a new kind of inspiration to the industry.

The project of "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" is not limited to the simultaneous release of the electronic and paper versions, but also other related projects are also in full swing. For example, "The first episode of YOUNGJUMP's serial is super weighty!" AND THE LONG-FORM MANGA PRIMER "STARTERBOOK" WILL BE PROVIDED WITH FREE DELIVERY SERVICES.

Among them, "YOUNGJUMP's serialized first episode is super weighty! It will contain the first episode of the 28 works that are currently being serialized in "Weekly YOUNGJUMP". These contents are compiled into "Quick Volume", "Advance Volume", and "Hit Volume". With a whopping 1,200 pages, it's a lot of weight. "STARTERBOOK" is a plot that selects the first episode from the popular feature-length works. There are a total of 7 manga included, namely "ZETMAN", "GANTZ", "King of the World", "81diver", "Liar", "TOUGH" and "Rose Girl". These works will be officially distributed from May 15th. On the one hand, they serve as a primer for various popular works, and on the other hand, they are also a good opportunity to test the waters for those who have never touched the digital version of comics.

[Digital edition of "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" No. 24]

"The Wind Rises" will hold an exhibition of original paintings in June this year

As director Hayao Miyazaki's retired work, "The Wind Rises" not only achieved good box office results, but also attracted attention for some related planning activities. Recently, it was officially announced that from June 25th, a special event called "The Wind Rises Original Art Exhibition" will be held in the SPACE634 of Soranomachi, Tokyo. At that time, the audience can enjoy the fun brought by the original painting of "The Wind Rises" and experience the charm of the master.

This exhibition of original paintings is carefully planned to commemorate the release of "The Wind Rises" DVD & Blu-ray products and "Director Hayao Miyazaki's Portfolio" on June 18. At the scene, you can see a lot of information used in the animation, so as to make a review of the work. However, the exhibition will only be held until June 30, which means that the audience only has 6 days to enjoy the original paintings. Considering this premise, I am afraid that there will be overcrowding during the exhibition, right?

The materials on display at the scene are materials that fans can't refuse. This includes the impression line drawings drawn by director Hayao Miyazaki in the early stages of the production of zuò, the character design, and the background art, and of course, the art line drawings created by the art director will not disappoint everyone. There are more than 100 original paintings on display, plus some related materials, which can make people go straight to the secret behind the theatrical version. I believe that by watching this exhibition of original paintings, the audience will be able to fully appreciate the satisfaction brought by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli's animation.

The DVD and Blu-ray production of "The Wind Rises" will be the latest installment in the "Studio Ghibli Collection". As with the previous products, the cover packaging will be made using the latest technology. In addition, the "Miyazaki Directorial Collection" will include all of Miyazaki's full-length works, including "The City of Lupin the Third Carriostreo" and "The Wind Rises". It can be said that it can give the audience a taste of the visual miracles that this animation master has brought to fans in the long years from his debut to his retirement.

With the exhibition of original paintings and the release of related video products, you can once again taste the super popular work "The Wind Rises", which set a record for the top box office in Japan in 2013, and I am afraid that the secret of the world's fame of the work is also in it, right?

Advance tickets are 400 yen, 500 yen for same-day purchases, and free for high school students and younger. ADVANCE TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM MAY 17 BY LAWSON TICKETING.

【The Wind Rises Original Painting Exhibition】

Original Editor's Selection of "Promising Voice Actors"

With more and more newcomers pouring into the voice actor industry, how to judge whether a newcomer can succeed in this field has also become a topic of conversation among industry insiders. Recently, a person who claims to be the editor of a former voice actor magazine has selected 3 newcomers who he thinks will be "great in the future", so let's take a look at who they are!

Rina Ueda

Born on January 17, he just turned 20 this year. My hometown is Toyama Prefecture. It is currently affiliated with 81Produce.

Main starring works: "Groping it! A live drama" (Sonoda Moe Maiko), theatrical animation "Aru Mosini" (real world famous tree service), etc.

[Voice actor genre that has never been seen before]

When I met her for the first time, the characteristics that showed her were not so much "spiritual" as "temperamental". I don't think I've ever seen a voice actor of this type before. And her snow-white skin is also impressive, and I can't help but make up for myself: Toyama Prefecture belongs to the Hokuriku region, is there more people with white skin there?

Tanabe stays

Born on May 23, he is 16 years old. My hometown is Tokyo. It is currently affiliated with STYLECUBE.

Main works: "WIZARDBARRISTERS~Ben Demon Cecil" (Sudo Cecil), "The Buried Treasure of Dragon Lady 777" (Dragon Lady 777) and so on.

【Favorite food is cheese kamaboko and crab miso】

The manager of the office commented on Tanabe: "It's a little strange. "And after meeting her, it does feel like a strange girl. She kept emphasizing: "Oh, I'm really honest! On the other hand, for some reason, the queen laughed "oh hehehe", which made the whole scene very lively. And her favorite food is cheese fish cake and crab miso. It's hard to associate her with a "16-year-old girl", but instead feels like "a very skinny uncle". However, when asked about the voice actor image she longed for, Tanabe immediately replied seriously, "It's someone like Satomi Kozaka." "I can be bold and straightforward about photography work that I am not familiar with, and although I have only seen it once, it is very impressive.

[Go forward, grow! ] 】

At present, Tanabe is playing the female lead in "The Buried Treasure of Dragon Lady 777", and she is also showing more and more growth. Being able to play the heroine in two consecutive seasons after "WIZARDBARRISTERS~Ben Warlock Cecil" shows her outstanding skills on the one hand, and on the other hand, that positive attitude also makes people feel happy, and I can't help but be infected. It seems that her own characteristics are being projected into her acting skills. I hope that she will continue to move forward positively in the future, and it must be a pleasure to do so.

Yu Serizawa

Born on December 3, he is 19 years old. My hometown is Tokyo. It is currently affiliated with 81Produce.

[Debuted as a member of i☆Ris]

About a year and a half ago, Serizawa's group i☆RIS made their official debut. She has a very clear temperament, but to be honest, I didn't think she would be a voice actress at the time. However, after that, she successively played roles in "PrettyRhythm: RainbowLive" and "Bug Mission", and also made the voice actress · The image of "Yu Serizawa" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is worth paying attention to future developments.

Today's newcomers not only have outstanding voices, but the characters they dub are also constantly entering the audience's attention! For a person who has been engaged in voice actor reporting all year round, the voice actor world is really impossible to take your eyes off!

The theater "Takako Love Story" has been well received by the industry

The latest theatrical version of "Tamako Love Story" released by Kyoto Animation has been officially released nationwide on April 26. This theatrical version is a sequel to the new TV anime "Tamako Market", which was broadcast on TV from January ~ March 2013, and the story will tell the story of what happened after the TV anime. After the release of the work, it can be said that it has received rave reviews and has won praise from many people in the industry. Including Hanada Shiki, Nishiki Ori, Masudang Ryuya and others all posted their testimonials on Twitter.

△ Hanada Shihui (animation screenwriter, light novel writer, responsible for works such as "NOGAMENOLIFE Game Life", "Science Super Electromagnetic Gun S", and also participated in the production of the TV version of "Tamako Market")

"I went to see Tamako Love Story, and I walked back while crying on the streets of Shinjuku. Damn it......!! It was put on the table!! The whole person is completely defeated! I love this work so much! ”

△ Hiroshi Nishiki (animation director, representative as "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic")

"After watching "Tamako Love Story". The work is not so much a reflection of the happy atmosphere of the shopping street, but rather the cute personalities of Tamako and Kizo. It's a great movie. In addition, the biggest attraction of this work is the growth of the stuffing (you pay attention to this!). ）”

△ Ryūya Zengdang (famous film critic)

"I finished watching "Tamako Love Story". It can be said that this is exactly an outstanding love story that movie fans must watch. On the one hand, the work delicately depicts the supreme cuteness of adolescent girls that can resonate with women, and on the other hand, it seems to express the comedy of animation with the effect of a silent film. At the same time, the audience will also find realism in the same-sex characters in the work. Movie fans, hurry up and notice the cinematic talent of director Naoko Yamada! ”

Disney will introduce Doraemon animation this summer

Japan's Sankei Shimbun reported on Friday that the American media company Disney will broadcast the classic Japanese animation "Doraemon" dubbed in English on TV channels throughout the United States. In the 44 years since the original machine qì cat manga aired, its animated version has been broadcast in 35 countries and regions in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. However, in the United States, this is the first time that "Doraemon" has appeared on TV screens. Here's what the American media reported on this:

The manga "Doraemon" was created by the manga group Fujiko Fujio A (Hiroshi Fujimoto and Suo Yasuko) in 1969. The manga tells the story of a machine cat who travels from the future to the present to help a teenager named Nobita. In the story, Doraemon, Nobita and the other children use the wonderful props in Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket to solve or guide countless problems.

According to reports from Japan's Sankei Shimbun and Disney's XD, a children's channel with 7,800 viewers will take over the broadcast of "Doraemon". The channel will air 26 episodes of anime five times a week. However, this channel positions "Doraemon" as aimed at lower elementary school students.

The stories of the anime, the names of the characters and props will be adapted appropriately according to American culture and customs. Nobita's name will be changed to Noby, Gian's name will be BigG, flyingcontraptionTakecopter will be reduced to Hopter, and DokodemoDoor will be translated as anywaydoor. The recent English version of the Doraemon manga also uses essentially the same name.

Unlike the existing unlicensed version, this time the English version will be subject to strict censorship in the United States. All depictions of violence, discrimination and sexuality will be dealt with strictly. But perhaps on the bright side, this version of Doraemon should be able to pass censorship in all other English-speaking countries.

Doraemon has already been shown in Southeast Asia and Europe. The Sankei Shimbun said that just like the Japanese TV drama "Ashin" series, the "Doraemon" anime has played a huge positive role in Japan's external image.

With the exception of the TV anime, which premiered in 1973, Doraemon releases an animated film every year. This year's theatrical version of "Doraemon" "Standbyme, Doraemon" is the first 3DCG Doraemon movie in the series directed by Takashi Yamazaki and Ryuichi Yagi, adapted from many classic plots of the original work, and is intended to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Fujiko F Fujio's birth.

"Killing Reincarnation" adapted from the movie Chinese trailer

Today, Tom Cruise's new work "Edge of Tomorrow" released a finalized trailer. This trailer focuses on the male protagonist played by Tom, giving the audience a brief introduction to the origin of the story, the worldview of the work and the shocking war scenes of the work. At the same time, this trailer also has a special version trailer for Chinese audiences, which includes the director's Chinese greeting clip to the audience. The film said that the work will be released simultaneously in multiple regions around the world on June 6, including Chinese mainland.

And the reason why this movie produced by Warner is particularly interesting in the anime industry is that it is adapted from the science fiction novel "All-you-need-is-kill" written by Japanese light novel writer Hiroshi Sakurasaka in 2004. In addition, the manga version of "All-you-need-is-kill" drawn by popular manga artist Ken Obata is also being serialized in "Weekly YOUNGJUMP" (Shueisha). This science fiction work has not only won unanimous praise from science fiction writers such as Yasutaka Kani, but also attracted the attention of Tom in recent years and was introduced by Hollywood. Prior to this, Hiroshi Sakurasaka's debut work was the light novel "Simple and Understandable Modern Magic" released in 2003. This light novel has been adapted into an anime and brought to the TV screen in 2009.

It is reported that the official English name of the movie version of this work is "Edgeoftomorrow", and the official translation of the mainland is "Edge of Tomorrow". The film is directed by Doug Liman, the director of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and tells the story of Lieutenant Colonel Bill Gage, played by Tom Cruise, who died on the battlefield against the background of alien invasion, but fell into a cycle of time and space, constantly experiencing the process from life to death, and met the heroine played by British actor Emily Brown who had the same experience.

Warner said that before the global release on June 6, the film will hold grand premieres in multiple regions. Tom Cruise, known as Hollywood's hardest working actor, said he intends to hold premieres in a total of three cities around the world. He will represent Warner Bros. in London, Paris and New York in just one day for three consecutive premiere events.

The premiere on May 28 kicks off in London, with the event officially starting at 7 a.m. and film screenings at 9 p.m. Tom Cruise and Emily Brown will be in attendance, along with director Doug Liman. Immediately after, they need to arrive in Paris at 2 p.m. and start showing the film at 4 p.m. The final red carpet premiere is scheduled for 10 a.m. with New York, while film screenings will begin at 11:59 a.m. Will the 113-minute film be able to capture the hearts of European audiences?

The American media commented that although Tom's box office appeal is declining, his fame does not seem to have diminished. His last film, "Forgotten Wars," led the domestic box office with $37 million last April, but he grossed $6,000 overseas. Of the film's total box office of 286 million, 197 million came from overseas. This is the result of Tom's unsparing campaign around the world, in Tokyo, Taiwan, London...... and many other areas, all of which have left the footprints of Tom and "Forgotten War".

The live-action version of "Tokyo Rambers" announced a new PV

The manga adaptation of the same name, "Tokyo Mobger", which was previously announced to be officially released nationwide on August 30, has recently announced a new promotional video. In the video, we can see the picture of A-list stars such as Ryohei Suzuki and YOUNGDAIS Kiyono Nana competing on the same stage. And further through the guò promotional video, we can find that in addition to the actors introduced above, there are also Ryuta Sato, Someya Shota, Yosuke Tsukatsuka, Ritsuki Takeuchi and others. And they also showed their shocking acting skills in the pictures full of action effects.

The director of this work is Yuan Ziwen. He has launched works such as "Hell Kaimera" and "The Sin of Love", which have been well received by fans. However, all we know is that it tells the story of the overlords who occupy the streets fighting each other, and other information is unknown. Therefore, for more information to be released in the future, I hope that fans in this area will continue to pay attention.

In addition, the live-action film version of "Tokyo Mobsters" will also include some interpretations that are not found in the manga and only appear in the movie. For example, the character in the original work who shaved the monk's head appeared in front of the audience in gold. In addition, this movie is also a new challenge for the actors, and even fans of some of the movie stars may find it difficult to recognize their idols at a glance. The most representative of these is Ryohei Suzuki, who will use his powerful acting skills to create a fierce and vicious character.

ON THE OTHER HAND, YOUNGDAIS AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF "SEA" BY GUÒ. However, his character design basically follows the style of the original game. And there will also be action scenes between YOUNGDIS and Ryohei Suzuki in the story, I believe that the muscles they specially trained can make the male audience feel the blood boiling, and the female audience can't stop the nosebleeds, right?

"Tokyo Mobsters" is a masterpiece serialized by the well-known manga artist Inoue Santa on "BOON" since 1998, and it took a total of 9 years to serialize. The "mobsters" in the title generally refer to the bikers, most of whom are mainly men, who have a full hairstyle and wear red and purple clothes, often disrupting Japan's traffic and neighbors, and in reality they are also the object of a headache for the Japanese police. However, the work portrayed by Mita Inoue is highly regarded not only in Japan, but also in Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York and other places, and has also made him the hottest manga artist in the fashion industry. He often portrays the future portrait of a man with a sense of the world, expressing his personal dreams, so we cannot limit our eyes to the negative impact of the "rampant people". This work was also released by MADHOUSE in 2006 with 13 episodes of animation. And I believe that this live-action movie will also have a new interpretation of the work.
