The power of women? Demystifying the development trend of Disney works

"Cinderella", which is an adaptation of the royal princess story into a live-action work, is currently being screened in many countries and regions around the world, including the United States, and as expected, this work has won explosive popularity. Previously, Disney also announced that it would make "Mulan" into a live-action movie, and "Beauty and the Beast" starring Emma Watson is also in the pipeline. So why did Disney make such a move? Recently, some Japanese media have interpreted it from the perspective of the increase in female audiences. The details are as follows:

Disney is currently actively involved in live-action versions of famous animations. One of the important reasons for this is the well-received relationship between "Alice in Wonderland", which has accumulated more than $1 billion at the global box office, and "The Dark Witch: Maleficent" starring Angelina Jolie. In particular, the Whirlwind of "Frozen" has completely proved the strength of the Disney brand, and fans are starting to expect not only the arrival of feature-length animation, but also some live-action titles. Previously, live-action works in the film and television industry once fell into a slump, but now they are making a comeback.

Another reason is that Hollywood productions are currently gaining more and more attention from young women. The main reason why American movies have been so well received around the world is that they meet the entertainment needs of male fans, and the most representative work is "The Avengers". However, in recent years, popular series with strong love elements such as "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", as well as adaptations of erotic novels "Fifty Shades of Grey", have all targeted female audiences, and of course, "Frozen" is also among them.

Why do young women bring about the popularity of their works? Regarding the background of this, some people in the industry cited the "overwhelming proliferation of information brought about by the use of social tools". Although it is definitely not easy to say that a work wants to satisfy the audience's taste, Disney has hired the well-known director Kenneth Branagh in "Cinderella" and Bill Lecondon as the director in "Beauty and the Beast", and these staffing itself ensures the artistic taste and stable quality. In fact, "Cinderella" fully reflects Kenneth Branagh's talent as a director, so it is not surprising that it has won a lot of praise.

In the future, Disney will also prepare a number of live-action adaptations of famous animations, including "Prince of the Forest" (released in 2016), "AliceinWonderland" sequel "AliceinWonderland: Through the Looking Glass" (released in 2016), "Dumbo" (release date undecided) and so on. And we are looking forward not only to these classics, but also to their unprecedented brilliance.

The first volume of the "Blood Front" Blu-ray Disc will be released in June, and the details will be revealed

All 6 volumes of the TV anime "Blood Front" Blu-ray and DVD based on Yasuhiro Naito's original work will be released from June 17, and pre-orders are now open.

The event is tentatively scheduled for October 4.

"Blood Battle" is a combat manga serialized by Yasuhiro Naito, the author of "Gun God", on "JUMPSQ.". It tells the story of the members of the secret society Lebra who act secretly to maintain the balance of the world in the city where the other world and the present world intersect.

The cover image of "Sailor Moon Character Music Collection" includes tracks

The new live-action trailer for "Mobile Police" contains a new song

The latest promotional video of the live-action movie "THENEX**ENERATION" finale "Capital Decisive Battle" of the classic animation "Mobile Police" has exploded.

The trailer is about 60 seconds long and uses Ayaka's new song "LoseControl" as the background music. "LoseControl" is a new song from Ayaka's original new album "Rainbow Road (original name: レインボーロード)" that will be released on April 15 for the first time in 3 years.

This song completely subverts Ayaka's image in the minds of fans, and it is a fast song with a distinct rhythm. This "Battle in the Capital" is a "women's battle", and Ayaka who is about to become a mother also exudes a stronger and stronger aura, which is very suitable for singing this song.

By the way, Ayaka used to sing the theme song "Tonight is also embraced by the stars (original name: tonight もも星に抱かれて)" for the theatrical version of the anime "Air Killer" by Mamoru Oshii Mamoru Zuò. This is not the first time they have worked together.

The live-action series "THENEX**ACTIVATION Mobile Police", which was produced at a huge expense, was supervised by Mamoru Oshii, and realistically reproduced the 8-meter-long Type 98 INGRAM and the Special Car Second Division in the anime. The series consists of a short film with all 7 chapters and a feature-length film. Now that all the short films have been released, the final feature-length film, "Battle in the Capital", will be released in Japan on May 1.

Akira Ishida leads! The stage event of "Persona 3" was well received

The third chapter of the theatrical version of "Persona 3", which was officially released nationwide on April 4, is now attracting the attention of many anime fans. Since the first chapter "#1SpringofBirth" in 2013 and the second chapter "#2MidsummerKnight's Dream" in 2014, it should be said that this work has been praised by fans of the game and anime audiences. In the third chapter of "PERSONA3THEMOVIE#3FallingDown", the season has changed to autumn, and the battle between the protagonist Yuki Ri and others is getting better. In addition, the appearance of the mysterious transfer student Aya Mochizuki pushes the story to a new chapter, so you can imagine what fans will expect.

In the stage appreciation event on the premiere day, the main creative voice actors such as Akira Ishida (Riki Yuuki), Emi Toyoguchi (Yukari Yuga), Kosuke Chokai (Shunhei Iori), Mamiko Noto (Kazuka Yamagishi), Maaya Sakamoto (Aegis), and Emi Ogata (Kanji Amada) all appeared. In addition, Kazuki Adachi, the producer of this work, was also present to interact with the fans and held various forms of talk shows.

It should be said that one of the highlights of this work is that Akira Ishida not only dubbed Ri Yuki in this film, but also acted as Ayatoki Mochizuki and Faroros, realizing a one-person triangle. At the stage event, when asked about Ishida's three roles, Adachi said, "When Riki and Ayatoki are talking, the rhythm of their conversation is one of the highlights of this film. ”

And Toyoguchi interpreted his own role in Gali. She believes that this character has a lot in common with herself, so she doesn't need to deliberately create a character at all. However, there are a lot of very strict plots in the third chapter, and it takes enthusiasm to perform for this. After that, Noto, Sakamoto, Chokai, and Ogata all talked about the behind-the-scenes footage of the dubbing, and the scene remained very hot.

Before the start of the stage event, the official also asked all fans questions through Twitter. This time, the questions focused on what the voice actors found most difficult, and what they thought about the memorable school trip. Actually, in the third chapter of "Persona 3", there is a plot of a school trip, but Adachi said, "I hope you will pay attention to the leaves when you see this episode", which can be regarded as another place worth paying attention to. So what form do leaves actually take? I'm afraid you can only know if you watch the movie. In addition, Adachi also said that the third chapter invited Keitaro Motonaga as the director, and after the master's handwriting, the work will be more explosive in terms of fighting plots.

At the end of the day, all the performers addressed the fans who came to the show, and the premiere event came to a successful conclusion. Currently, the third chapter of the theatrical version of "Persona 3" will be released in many theaters across Japan from April 4. In addition, a stage event will be held in Kyoto and Yokohama on April 11, so if you have the conditions, you may want to come and experience the style of the idols.

"Persona 3" tells the story of the protagonist Yuki Ri who was attacked by the alien monster "Shadow" after transferring to Moonlight Pavilion Gakuen High School, and the story of the "Persona" power awakening and his friends who also have the power of Persona to form a special extracurricular activity department.

"Dragon Ball" Kamesenjin sunglasses are on sale and pre-orders are open

The lenses of these sunglasses have been specially treated to make the reflection into a comic-like effect, and the degree of restoration is very high. Fans who want to live a life of being a turtle immortal should not miss it.

The new promotional video of "Asterisk" in the autumn was exposed

Saki Miya's light novel "Asterisk in the City of Learning" has been confirmed to be produced as an animated version for TV, which is scheduled to be broadcast from October. Now the official website of the animation and the official website Twitter have been launched, and the lineup and promotional video have been exposed.

Although it is still half a year before the official broadcast, the promotional video has been produced very completely, and the narration is still a very high-end and atmospheric English version, containing a large number of animated shots, which can definitely make everyone enjoy watching it at one time.

"Asterisk City" is set in the aquatic school city "Rokuka", which is known as "Asterisk", and tells the story of the boys and girls of the Star Vein generation of the six schools who use "Huang-style weapons" to compete fiercely in the martial arts tournament.

The chief supervisor of the anime version is "Horizon on the Borderline" and "The Inferior Student of Magic Science High School" Manabu Ono, the supervisor is セトウケンジ of "T Treasure's Tragic Daily Awakening Chapter", and the character setting and general painting supervisor is Tetsuya Kawakami of "Posthumous Text" and "How Can My Sister Be So Cute". The animation company is A-1 Pictures.

The author of "The Seven Deadly Sins" draws the characters of "The Battle of Arslan".

Starting April 5th, MBS/TBS will broadcast a new work from the animation program at 5 p.m. This is the adaptation of the manga "Arslan War" by Yoshiki Tanaka and Hiroshi Arakawa. This work has been hailed as a "magnificent Japanese fantasy masterpiece", so the presentation form of the anime version has also attracted a lot of attention.

Among them, there will be a special end card at the end of the first episode that will be broadcast. This depicts the protagonist Arslan and the mysterious man in the silver mask. But I'm afraid that friends who see this picture will feel that the painting style is very familiar, right? It seems to have been seen in this type of place before. In fact, it was the manga artist Yang Suzuki, who became popular with works such as "The Seven Deadly Sins", who drew this picture. This is also one of the projects carefully prepared by the government.

The reason why this project can be realized is also because "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Battle of Arslan" are broadcast at the same time. "The Seven Deadly Sins" has just ended, and "The Battle of Arslan" is about to begin, which also plays a role in connecting the past and the future. And Tong Guò's end card this time can be regarded as a kind of interaction between the authors of the two sides.

In fact, the end card of the last episode of "The Seven Deadly Sins," which aired on March 29, was drawn by Hiroshi Arakawa, and it had already sparked some discussion at the time. The practice of two popular cartoonists working together to draw the end cards of each other's works was not common before, so it has caused a lot of topics. This is naturally the second time to cooperate. And Suzuki uses his unique powerful brushstrokes to vividly portray the characters in the work. This is also the best cheer for the upcoming "Arslan Wars".

"The Battle of Arslan" is a majestic restoration work. In the story, the kingdom of Pars, a recognized land power, prospered politically, economically, and otherwise under the rule of King Andrakolas III. However, the good times did not last long, when the neighboring Rusitania invaded Pars, the "invincible" Pars cavalry was defeated! As a result, King Andrakolas was also captured by the enemy, while the crown prince ̇Arslan narrowly escaped death with the help of the fierce general ̇Daron. The two then visited the wise general ̇ Narsas and worked to turn the situation around. With the assistance of the two, Arslan will embark on the arduous road to recovery......

On the other hand, "The Seven Deadly Sins" will also have various forms of event planning in the future. In addition to the current Blu-ray/DVD discs, the "FES of the Seven Deadly Sins" will be held at the Maihama Amphitheater on July 25~26. At present, the Blu-ray/DVD full production limited edition 1~4 volumes will come with tickets for priority sales application tickets, and interested friends may wish to pay attention to it.

The classics are back! The new promotional video of "Mercury Navigator" was announced

The classic work "Mercury Navigator The**VENIRE", which previously announced the production of zuò's new animation, has recently been officially exposed many of the latest developments. Among them, a 30-second video gives us an overview of the worldview and timeline of the work. In addition, the characters who will appear in this anime are also shining. According to the information provided in the promotional video, this work will be officially released on Saturday, September 26 this year.

At the same time, the official also released the character drawings of the main characters and the voice actors of the related characters. Of course, basically the voice actor lineup is not particularly different from the previous anime. Erino Hazuki, Chiwa Saito, Ryo Hirohashi, Sayaka Ohara, Chinami Nishimura, Junko Minagawa, Kaori Mizuhashi, etc., will all contribute to this work again, but Ryuko Kawakami, who originally voiced Athena, has passed away, so how should her role be completed? It may also become a topic of concern for everyone. As for more developments about this work, Tencent Animation will also continue to pay attention.

2.9 million! The number of registrations of "Ship Niang" broke a new record

Developed, provided, and operated by Kadokawa Games, the browser game "Fleet Collection-Ship Colle-" has been loved by players since its launch. And in January of this year, the TV animation about this work was also officially broadcast, and the news of the second season of zuò soon came out. Despite all the controversy surrounding the anime version, it seems that the effects of the animation are still clearly revealed. According to the latest official statistics, the number of player registrations for the game has exceeded 2.9 million. The announcement is as follows:

The number of registrations for "Armada Collection-Ship Colle-" has continued to grow significantly this year, surpassing 2.9 million in late March, and at this rate, it will reach a record of 3 million registrations this month. Thank you very much to all the Admirals who have supported us! We will also quickly work on the adjustments/enhancements of existing servers and set up new ones.

Oppose the same people to engage in the base! The author of "The Battle of Arslan" expressed his position

Originally written by Yoshiki Tanaka and illustrated by Hiroshi Arakawa, "Battle of Arslan" has already begun broadcasting as a TV anime. I believe that when I see the male protagonist with a positive face, many of the same creators have already opened their brains, right? However, according to the news on Twitter recently, the original author Yoshiki Tanaka made it clear: The bottom line for me to allow secondary creation is to "prohibit foundations". The details are as follows:

"I believe that many people like it after watching "The Battle of Arslan". However, Yoshiki Tanaka, who is the original author, has set a bottom line in terms of permission for secondary creation, that is, "secondary creation of a work is not allowed in the following cases: explicit sexual depictions and homosexual depictions appear in the secondary works." Therefore, I hope that everyone can also read this request before creating.

In this regard, a person familiar with the matter said: "Mr. Yoshiki Tanaka doesn't like explicit BL depictions, so it is impossible to allow secondary creation in this area." And the opportunity for this is because of the BL doujinshi that fans gave him. For this reason, he later deliberately mentioned in his works that Narzas and Daron went to visit the kiln. Although everyone needs to satisfy their self-fetish when facing fanworks, they must also conform to the taste of the original author. ”

"The Battle of Arslan" is a majestic restoration work. In the story, the kingdom of Pars, a recognized land power, prospered politically, economically, and otherwise under the rule of King Andrakolas III. However, the good times did not last long, when the neighboring Rusitania invaded Pars, the "invincible" Pars cavalry was defeated! As a result, King Andrakolas was also captured by the enemy, while the crown prince ̇Arslan narrowly escaped death with the help of the fierce general ̇Daron. The two then visited the wise general ̇ Narsas and worked to turn the situation around. With the assistance of the two, Arslan will embark on the arduous road to recovery...... Indeed, in such an epic background, if the characters are bound to a story of small attacks, then it is reasonable for the original author to be mad, right?
