"Attack on Titan" and Akiyama Yoshiko

- Japanese animation encounters the mentality of Chinese and Korean people

Japan recalls the era of its glory, China and South Korea remember the humiliation of the past, in such a national mentality, cultural exchanges will inevitably appear, over-interpretation or even misreading, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong, because no one knows what the author is thinking about in his head, it is estimated that the most thought is that the serial should not be cut in half, at this time, don't blame too much, especially accuse those "angry youth", often the more you say them, the more they are motivated. As for when this problem will be resolved? It's estimated that the world will be the same.,But the world can be the same.,Anyway, in many animation works.,Even if human beings are the same.,It's going to be divided.,You see the new episode of this episode "Attack on Titan" and "Galgantia of the Green Star" are all "people beating people" in the end.

Culture is the superstructure of society, and now that everyone is wealthy (although housing prices and wages are high, at least the standard of living has gone up), everyone has begun to pursue spiritual satisfaction. There are more and more ways of entertainment, and Japanese anime is the entertainment pastime for many young people today. Since I was a child, I have been exposed to a lot of Japanese animation, from the earliest "Astro Boy" to "Doraemon" to "Hokuto God Fist", "Saint Seiya", "Demon Beauty", "Slam Dunk" to "Ultraman" (I didn't know what tokusatsu was when I was a child, so Ultraman was also classified as animation), and now the development of the Internet has made it easier for us to get in touch with Japanese animation. However, Japanese animation、No, it should be said that the entire flow of Japanese culture in China,It is full of hidden dangers,That is, the politics of the two countries。 This month, Japan's hottest anime "Attack on Titan" was also "lying down" because of the author's 2010 blog content.

The relationship between China and Japan is often described as a strip of water, but if it is not good, it is a former aggressor and a former enemy, "little Japan" and "Japanese devil". In the early days of reform and opening up, why did a lot of Japanese animation, Japanese TV dramas, movies and goods flow into China? At that time, the Soviet Union had not yet collapsed, in order to prevent the Soviet Union, China, the United States and Japan were very close, at that time it was definitely the honeymoon period between China, Japan and the United States, when the United States even gave the Black Hawk helicopter to the Celestial Empire, Japanese companies were large-scale investment, Japanese electrical appliances were in China at that time, and what Yamaguchi Baihui, Takakura Ken also began to become popular in China at that time.

China and Japan in modern times, generally speaking, are a pair of enemies, especially before the end of World War II, China can be said to be ridden by the Japanese, the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the cession of Taiwan, the fall of Northeast China, the puppet Manchukuo, the establishment of the Nanjing Massacre and a series of Japanese aggression, basically the Japanese are China's biggest enemy, and it is still a feud. Although World War II has been a long time ago, the education we receive now also makes us feel that Japan as a country should be wary and careful, and their wolf ambitions have never stopped. Recently, Shinzo Abe's attempt to revise the constitution has made China and South Korea even more dissatisfied, and China's Diaoyu Islands and South Korea's Dokdo also have territorial disputes with Japan. In short, the historical origins and relationships of the three largest countries in East Asia are more complex than any emotional drama. And this kind of complexity has created a complex mood in the hearts of the people.

Returning to the subject of what we are talking about, "Attack on Titan" has been labeled "militaristic" by the South Korean media, and now the evidence has become more conclusive, and it has been discovered that in 2010, Isayama's blog said that the commander looked like Akiyama Yoshiko, the father of the Japanese cavalry. I specifically checked the wiki and said that Akiyama Yoshiko had participated in the Lushun Massacre as a member of the Japanese Army (but there was no mention of this in the Japanese version or the English version), strictly speaking, Akiyama Yoshiko was at least an aggressor. Of course, you say that Isayama Sou designed the commander of the garrison corps according to him, and it is not a big problem, because last year there was also a Japanese drama "Sakagami no Kumo" with Akiyama Yoshiko as the protagonist, and it was also played by Abe Kan. However, South Korea is more indignant than our Great Celestial Empire (South Korea has been bullied worse by Japan in history, during the Ming Dynasty, my Great Celestial Empire still had the spare strength to help, and in the evening Qing was finally succeeded by the Japanese) This kind of thing is even more indignant than our Great Celestial Empire, and there are already many Korean messages behind this blog post, of course, I also see Chinese messages when I read it. As for Isayama Chuang, I don't know if there was a militaristic idea when he created it, but what I can be sure of is that Isayama created the most or that this comic must not be cut in half.

What I want to say is that due to historical reasons, people in China and South Korea still look at Japan with a strange suspicion in their hearts, so as long as there are some clues, everyone will "persecute paranoia", this kind of behavior is caused by a kind of self-defense psychology in the bones, and everyone does not attack too much, just understand. And on the Japanese side, because before World War II, it was the strongest day for Japan in the international community, so they will always miss the years at that time, for example, when Jimmy was writing the article, he was watching NHK's documentary "Japan Debut", series, when the Russo-Japanese naval war was the flagship of Japan, guess what's the name? Mikasa! Not only that, but we know that many of the names in EVA are also the names of some Japanese warships, and the "Space Battleship Yamato", the Yamato was once the most powerful battleship in Japan. As a result, the difference in thinking among the people has caused friction in everyone's thinking. And due to the influence of politics, our domestic ones have lost a lot of opportunities before, such as the second session of ASLinShanghai last year, I don't know when that lineup will reappear?

As Mr. Lu Xun, who has studied in Japan, he has long told us the truth of "removing the dross and taking the essence", if you really feel bad, then don't look at it, today's society is still quite free, and everyone can choose freely. And Tong guò, so many controversial examples, can also reflect the popularity of "Attack on Titan", which also shows that the more works that are hacked, may be popular works, and now the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" released in cinemas is generally complained about as a bad movie, and as a result, the box office is very smooth and has passed 200 million.
