Railways, food, guns, swords, ships, and even the country itself, Japan seems to want to turn these things into cute beautiful girls or handsome guys. In recent years, there has been a boom in "anthropomorphism" in Japan, and a recent fleet anthropomorphism game can be said to represent the highest point in the history of this anthropomorphic craze. The game, comics, and anime of the Armada Collection were well received, with advertisements everywhere and merchandise selling to the full. In addition to "Fleet Collection-Ship colle-", there are many works that use this kind of "anthropomorphism" to gain people's love and recognition, but why? Why does Japan have such a large anthropomorphic work? This report will take you to explore and analyze this anthropomorphic history of Japan!

"Bincho Tan", which is known as the work of the anthropomorphic ancestor

Although anthropomorphism has only become popular in recent years, if we look back at the history of anime and games, we will find that anthropomorphism is not actually something new, and there has been a classification of works in the fandom field for a long time. As early as 2003, an anthropomorphic manga officially began to be serialized, and it was adapted into an animated work soon after. That is "Bincho Tan" created by Ekusa Tenhito. The protagonist of this work, "Bincho Tan", is, as the name suggests, from a piece of Binchotan in reality. The supporting characters other than the protagonist of the story are no exception, and they are all born by anthropomorphizing various carbons. In terms of the content of the story, it mainly describes the daily life of the cute "carbon", which belongs to a daily work. Although the original manga of this work was only sold in four volumes, it is not a big hit, but it has indeed gathered popularity with its unique creativity. Even today, ten years later, this work still has many fans.

Get into the public eye with the help of animation

So how did the anthropomorphic works that originally only existed in a niche circle transform into a popular work that is known on the streets? The author speculates that this is probably related to the animation boom that began in the second half of the 2000s. Animation is a good channel to increase the popularity of works, and as animation has gained public support and love, some anthropomorphic works have gradually become famous through this good channel of animation. In addition to the "Binchotan" mentioned above, there are also works such as the "Hetalia" series, which personifies countries around the world, and the "Miracle Train" series, which personifies stations on the Oedo Line and Chuo Line. I believe that many friends have seen or heard of these works, and it is like this slowly, anthropomorphic works began to enter the public's eyeballs, taking the first step for today's prosperity.

There are 8 million theories of God in Japan since ancient times

The origin and history of the rise of anthropomorphism have been mentioned above, but why is it so popular with anthropomorphism in Japan? This may have something to do with the 8 million theists that have existed in Japan since ancient times. Of course, this article is not intended to touch on too much religion-related things, but in a nutshell, "eight million theists" means that everything in the world (including the dead) has a soul and a god attached to it. For example, the computer screen you are looking at, the eyes you wear, or even the air you breathe contain the soul. From a historical perspective, it is not difficult to understand why the Japanese thought of anthropomorphizing objects. Because everything has a soul, it naturally has its own personality. In fact, we can also look at the objects around us from a different angle, do you have feelings for things that have been used for a long time? Are you particularly cherished and cherished some of the things that have been with us for a long time? Such a feeling that knows no borders in daily life may also stimulate Japan's love for anthropomorphism.

The anthropomorphism craze will continue to grow

Even if they are lifeless dead creatures, if they are endowed with a special character and flesh, will a feeling of love immediately arise in their hearts? And the more commonly used items and things that are often touched, the easier it is to evoke this feeling in people's hearts. The current hit "Fleet Collection-Ship Colle-" comes from warships, but "they" fans are not limited to military enthusiasts, after all, ship girls have cute appearances and unique personalities, who dares to say that they don't like them? Recently, the wind of anthropomorphism has blown to the sword class again.,A game called "Sword Flurry" was well received soon after it was launched.,The swords in the game are personified into all kinds of handsome guys.,The man version of the ship girl.。 This kind of anthropomorphic craze with new ideas, I believe that there will be greater achievements in the future, go farther and farther, and become more and more prosperous!

It's not easy to be a cartoonist! MARUTA TWITTER VENTED BITTERNESS

Recently, there have been a lot of ACG works related to the profession of cartoonists. And the plots in some works have also resonated with many cartoonists. Recently, there is a cartoonist who makes a living by drawing comics. MARUTA TWEETED HER OPINION.

"There are a lot of works that make me think about a lot of things as a cartoonist, such as "White Box" and "Can This Product Be Considered a Cartoonist?" And so on. Cartoonism is not simply a profession that makes you feel unfortunate all the time. They have no friends, and even if they collapse in a high fever with the consciousness of death, they will fall into a situation where no one cares. It's simply not something that people can do. ”

"In "Can This Thing Be Considered a Cartoonist? depicts characters who have given up their careers as manga artists despite their best-selling works. But I think it's the right choice. Isn't it a matter of course to choose to give up this profession in order to be happy? But despite all that, I've been drawing NAME since the morning. The last time I saw someone was 2 weeks ago. ”

"I don't want to say anything like 'I want to get a wife,' at least I want to have a male friend. Before I die alone, at least one friend will know that I have fallen. As I approached the threshold of 40, I was often caught up in this loneliness, trouble, and fear. This is not what a normal person should be. ”

"It's good to be a cartoonist or something, but like a lot of people, I'm just working. Even if it's just one person, I really want to have my own family and friends. Thinking about it this way, "Can this product also be considered a cartoonist? The final scene is really emotional. I've had the feeling of crying since the morning. ”

"In this way, some people will say, 'I don't deal with other people at all except for work~'. However, they prove their existence by interacting with others in their work. At the same time, when I returned home, my wife and children were waiting, so what this kind of person said could not comfort me at all. I live alone, and I only see my assistant 2 days a month! ”

"Whether it's in the work or in reality, there will be such a husband and wife combination - 'a husband who is always working and rarely socializes' and 'a wife who always deals with people with a smile on her face'. So when will such a wife come to me? ”

Akiho Uejo's new work "The Secret That Can't Be Blown" PV released

Akiho Uejo, the author of "Ghost Eyes Crazy Knife" and "Extrajudicial Sanctioners", released a PV of more than two minutes on the Internet.

Although all the PV uses comic pictures to make zuò, but after adding dubbing, it becomes more realistic. It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays the expressionless male protagonist Taki Shintaro is Yoshimasa Hosoya who plays Sosuke Yamazaki in "Free!" and Yoko Higasa who plays Mio Akiyama in "Light Girl".

"The Secret That Can't Be Blown" is currently being serialized in "Evening" (Kodansha), and two volumes of the single book have already been released, and the third volume is scheduled to be released on April 23. It tells the story of Takitaki Shintaro and the strange members of the wind club.

The new work of the "Mercury Navigator" series is confirmed to be released in September!

The news that the healing beautiful girl animation "Mercury Navigator" series will produce a new animation "Mercury Navigator The**VENIRE" has finally been confirmed, and now the official website news has been announced. As previously circulated on the Internet, the new work "Mercury Navigator The**VENIRE" will be released at the event on September 26. Blu-ray Disc BOX will also be released soon.

The 2005 TV anime "Mercury Navigator" celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, and this new work "The**VENIRE" is part of the commemorative event. In terms of the production of the lineup, the supervisor is still the familiar Shunichi Sato, and the script is still written by Reiko Yoshida. The members of the TV anime version have gathered again, and I believe that fans will not be disappointed.

The original work of "Mercury Navigator" is a manga work by Kozue Amano, and the cumulative circulation of the single book and related books is as high as 4.8 million copies. He has produced 3 seasons of TV anime and still has many fans following it today.

Kozu Amano:

2015 is exactly 10 years after the first season of the anime aired.

I didn't expect it to be so long, and to be honest, I was surprised.

The work "Mercury Navigator" originally only wanted to be a single book, and it ended easily and happily.

I decided that I wanted to draw something happy freely, but I didn't expect it to be serialized for a long time, and it was the largest number of episodes in a single book I've ever published, and it was animated several times......

I really didn't expect it to become my life's work.

To this day, I still find this incredible.

This time, I was overjoyed not only to see "Mercury Navigator" in the high quality of Blu-ray Disc, but also to see a new work......

I would like to share this happiness with all of you and make the atmosphere even more lively.

Shunichi Sato supervised:

Not only do you want to make a picture more beautiful than before, but what a blessing it is to be able to return to Mercury again.

In retrospect, this work really encountered a lot of miraculous luck.

When I was working on the first season, I was racking my brains about how to condense the original work into 13 episodes, but I didn't expect to make 4 seasons at once......

In that case, why not plan for it in the first place...... But it's still very happy.

Although it is hard to make "Mercury Navigator", you can spend a happy time with the staff.

Unfortunately, some of them are no longer able to work with us, but they will certainly be happy for us.

Welcome back to the world of Mercury Navigator. Let's have a great time together.
