After being animated this spring, "Friends of the Week" became a popular work in one fell swoop. Although the original work didn't get a lot of attention.,But now in the bookstore.,The original comics have been out of stock.,It can be said that the adapted animation of the work is a dark horse in the new April series, right? Recently, the well-known Japanese comprehensive literary magazine "Da Vinci" started from the work "Friends of the Week" and commented on the female characters who have zài "memory disorders" in some popular anime, let's enter the text below!

Speaking of the charm of "Friends of the Week", the faint narrative style of the whole article, the theme song & ending song of the story itself (a cover version of "Infinite Switch") and so on can be regarded as highlights. But at the end of the day, Fujimiya, the heroine of the work, who loses memories of her friends every week, is the most endearing. And Hase-kun, who was attracted by her charm and couldn't help but go up to talk, was also impressed by his insightful way of talking. This + exchange between the two seems to allow the audience to regain the long-lost heart of youthful love, which is sour and sweet.

But in retrospect, there are not a few heroines who have lost their memories or are losing their memories in anime works. Today, I will introduce several representative heroines of "memory impairment". And if we savor the stories of these characters, maybe we can predict the future plot of "Friends of the Week".

I believe that after seeing Fujimiya in "Friends of the Week", many anime fans will immediately think of another name, right? This heroine is stricter than Fujimiya, her memory only lasts for 13 hours, and the lost memory is not just about friends, but about things. That's right, her name is Chihiro Shinto ("Wings of the Age"). However, when we saw that she and Aso Renji were attracted to each other, overcame memory barriers, and finally came together, we couldn't help but be moved by such a perfect ending.

And in the new animation "Extremely Black Brunhilde", which was broadcast at the same time as "Friends of the Week", there is also a heroine with a memory disorder, Kuroba Ninko. Although she's transferred to the hero's class.、An alternative storage that can use magic.,But every time she uses a broken blow to destroy an object.,She's going to lose some of her memory.。 And how does this affect the story? Anime viewers should stay tuned to the plot. Of course, you can also go to supplement the original work, so as not to be spoiled. By the way, Okamoto Tsune, the original author of "Extremely Black Brunhilde", also created a manga called "Mutant Girl", in which a character named Lucy also suffers from memory problems.

The heroine we want to mention below comes from a 2013 machine-themed work that caused a lot of topics, "Revolutionary Machine Valvrave". The girl named Wildfire Truth Painting is a friend of the female number one, but she only has memories of the last 2 years. And in episode 16, in the face of her friend's crisis, she drove ValvraveI to defeat the Delcia Army in place of Haruka, but due to the excessive amount of runes she exported to Pino and ValvraveI during the battle, she lost all her memories and finally ....... "Friends of the Week" should not have such a tragic unfolding, and I believe that for the audience, they don't want to see too many such sadistic plots, right?

In addition, Homura in "Madoka Magi☆ Magic" and Yuki Nagato in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" and "Endless Summer Chapter" do not have amnesia, but they are inextricably linked to the setting of "memory". In particular, the plot of the continuous reincarnation of the two is reminiscent of some girl's games, and these two animation works that have successfully integrated into this kind of plot are not exaggerated to say that they are masterpieces, right? Also, in "Amnesia", there is also a first-year college girl who lost her memory before August 1. There is no shortage of handsome guys with excessive personalities around her, and in the face of the approach of handsome guys, she feels a little confused, but she is still struggling to get her memories back. Although the work is somewhat inferential, the heroine's appearance of being tricked by fate is also lovely, even from the perspective of cute works, "Amnesia" can definitely be regarded as a first-class product.

There are many other characters, including Intex in the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic" and other girls who have left a mark on everyone's minds. And when we recall these characters and the stories that happened to them, we immediately feel the sadness, heaviness, and sadness that we felt when we watched the works. What kind of ending will Fujimiya and Hasei in "Friends of the Week" usher in...... Let's look forward to the future episodes! (with a bit of concern...... ）

New actors have been added to the live-action Japanese drama "Mischievous Kiss 2".

The sequel to the live-action Japanese drama version of the popular shoujo manga "Mischievous Kiss 2LoveinTOKYO" has announced a number of new actors. The new actors who starred in "Mischievous Kiss 2" include Shinta Horii of the young actor group "D-BOYS", Suzuki Minari, who won the most photogenic award in the "Junon SuperBoy Competition", model and variety artist Risako Ito, musician and actor Julia Kawakami, actor and snowdoer Totoshi Takeuchi, and mixed-race model Emi Nakai.

"Mischievous Kiss" is a super popular shoujo manga created by the late manga artist Kaoru Tada, and the cumulative circulation of the manga has exceeded 30 million copies. In 1996, it was adapted into a live-action Japanese drama starring Takashi Kashiwahara and Lanko Sato, which influenced a generation, and was later adapted into a live-action TV series in Taiwan, China, and South Korea. Last year, Japan released a new version of the Japanese drama "LoveinTOKYO" for the first time in 17 years, starring Yuki Furukawa and Honoka Mikura, and its popularity has regained its original glory.

"Mischievous Kiss" tells the story of Kotoko Aihara, a clumsy high school girl, who chases Naoki Irie, the perfect male god of IQ200, backwards. The upcoming sequel "Mischievous Kiss 2LoveinTOKYO" tells the story of Kotoko, who finally married Naoki after ending her 6-year relationship, and continues to struggle after being admitted to the nursing department. The new actors announced this time are all Kotoko's classmates. The starring roles are still the same as the lineup of the previous work, with Honoka in the future as Kotoko, Yuki Furukawa as Naoki, and Yuki Yamada as Kinnosuke Ikezawa.

In the first picture, from left to right, Shinta Horii plays Keita Kamokari as Keita Kamokari as Risako Ito, Risako Ito as Tomoko Ogura, Hoka Miku as Kotoko Aihara, Yuki Furukawa as Naoki Irie, Minari Suzuki as Kanki, and Juillia Kawakami as Mana Shinagawa. The second picture, from left to right, is Yuki Furukawa as Naoki Irie, Kotoshi Takeuchi as Seiichi Funazu, Hiroki Yamada as Kinnosuke Ikezawa, and Emi Nakai as Christina Robbins.

Hiroki Yamada said of the differences from his predecessor: "This time Kanosuke has a new relationship, and it is very difficult to perform Kanosuke after Kotoko's change of heart. He recommends the highlight: "The rivalry between me and Emi Nao's Chrissy is like a couple arguing, and I personally like it very much." ”

Shinta Horii, who starred in Keita Kamokari, said frankly, "Because the previous work was a very good work, I felt a lot of pressure when I decided to let me participate in this work. He likes his role very much, saying, "Keita is a big brother type who is very good at taking care of others, and his enthusiasm for nurse work is twice as high as others." I will do my best to create this character, and I hope everyone can enjoy Keita. ”

Suzuki, who played the Kikyo Stem, originally thought that he would play Keita or Seiichi Funazu, but he didn't expect to end up playing the Kikyo Dry, which surprised him very much. He analyzed his role and said: "Gan is more feminine than a woman, more masculine than a man, a male and female character, and I am very impressed by him." ”

The live-action Japanese drama "Mischievous Kiss 2 LoveinTOKYO" is scheduled to air in 2014.

The smoking scene in "JOJO" encounters special coding techniques

The popular "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure Season 3 Stardust Crusader" must be familiar to everyone, but it is such a late-night animation, which has recently been regulated by some scenes due to suspected underage smoking.

In the third season of the work, the main character, Jotaro Kujo, is a high school student with calm judgment and a strong sense of justice. But because he is a minor after all, the scene of smoking is painted with a "black shadow", which is shocking. Many netizens in Japan have expressed their incomprehension of this kind of regulation of late-night animations.,Late-night animations are generally for adults.,Is it a bit of a cart before the horse if you're afraid of affecting teenagers? So what do you think of this incident?

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" was serialized in Shueisha's shonen manga magazine Shonen Jump from 1987 to 2004, and has been serialized since 2005 in Shueisha's youth manga magazine UltraJump. After several generations of great adventures, with "survival" as the key word, Araki Hirohiko unleashed his imagination and created a bizarre world of "JOJO". "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has been adapted into many works including anime and games, and the original manga currently consists of eight parts and is currently being serialized.

The cumulative circulation of the "Broken Blade" comic exceeded 3 million

Japanese manga artist Yunosuke Yoshinaga's work "Broken Blade Sword" recently spread good news, the website "COMICMeteor" serializing the manga announced that the cumulative circulation of the single book of the work exceeded 3 million copies. On May 12th, the 13th volume of the work was released in Japan, and various projects are in full swing to celebrate this commemorative figure.

In the story of "Broken Blade", the protagonist Lechhardt lives as a rare and "magicless" anomaly in the wizarding world, but it seems that God is fair, but he is able to pilot the extremely destructive machine QÌ Graem, so he is drawn into the conflict of brutal war.

This work began to be serialized as early as 2007, and the Internet was chosen as a platform to publish the comics. It can be said that it is the forerunner of today's popular webtoons. And the fact that the work can get such a high popularity is also inseparable from the animation. Since 2010, the work has been released in the form of six films in exclusive activities, which has further increased the influence of "Broken Blade". In 2014, it seemed that the time was ripe, and the TV anime version of the work began to be broadcast in April of this year. And the launch of TV animation has further promoted the market of the original work.

In fact, until 2013, the cumulative circulation of this work had just exceeded 2 million copies, and now it has been able to resell 1 million copies in less than a year, which is also an impressive achievement. Among them, the new version released in 2013 can be said to add a lot of weight to the series. In the new edition, the author has made extensive changes to the original comics, which has also allowed "Broken Blade" to gain a new fan base and ensure that the work sells well all year round.

In order to further increase the popularity of this work, "COMICMeteor" has also hung up large promotional posters on transportation lines in Japan since May 12. Currently, "Sword of the Blade" can be found on major routes in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including the Yamanote Line, Kansai area, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and other train lines across the country. In addition, there are video advertisements for the trains, electronic boards around the station, and even on the handles of the trains. I believe that fans of this work will definitely feel surprised and delighted in the face of so much publicity, right? And those who have not been exposed to this work may also take this opportunity to jump into the pit of "Broken Blade".

"Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" will launch 7 works in a row

As one of Japan's oldest manga magazines, the "Weekly Shonen Sunday" series has brought us classics such as "Inuyasha", "Ranma", and "Baseball Heroes", and the national manga "Detective Conan", which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, is also the main brand of the series. However, it seems that "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" also hopes to be able to bring more works into the hall of animation, and recently officially announced: It will launch 7 works in a row for 10 months. And the official even used the "unheard of animation plan, go!! Such a provocative word.

These 7 works (some of which are works of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAYS") are "Wangshi and Junxiong", "Alice of the Land of Imaji", "Sister Log", "Fantasista", and "Resident Battle Array!! Bug Walk", "Magic Flute Boy MAGI", and "Whirlwind Butler". Works such as "The Magic Flute Boy MAGI" and "Whirlwind Butler" have been adapted into TV animations many times and have enjoyed good popularity in many countries and regions, including China. And "Worm Execution" and other TV animation versions have also appeared, which has caused some topics. According to the plan, this time the work will be released in the form of a new issue of manga with a DVD, and it can be seen that this time "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" is also a bloody investment.

However, although the publicity momentum is very strong, it seems that Japanese netizens do not buy it very much. After this news was exposed, many people published articles such as "Can "Whirlwind Butler" be animated again? "With these works, but without "The World Only God Knows", what does SUNDAY think?" "I can't stop SUNDAY's disorientation and rampage", "I used to be a TV animation project, but now I can only play OVA, which is a step backwards."

Indeed, as one of the three major weekly magazines in Japan, Weekly Shonen Sunday is facing a crisis of increasing strictness. The sales of the magazine have been declining in recent years, and 802084 copies were still sold in October ~ December 2008, but in the same period of 2013, it has fallen to 490334, only 6% of the level in 08. In addition to the recession of the entire industry, the inappropriate measures taken by Weekly Shonen Sunday are also unavoidable. Including the end of "The World Only God Knows", many people questioned whether the magazine had cut this popular manga that had been serialized for many years in order to introduce new works as much as possible. I wonder if this OVA project can give this publication that has been with you for many years a chance to regain its strength? Tencent Animation will wait and see.
