In the new episode in January, the animation "Lily Bear Storm" directed by Kunihiko Kihara has brought the audience a very powerful Lily bridge from the first episode, and considering his previous classic work "Girl Revolution", it seems that Lily occupies a very important weight in the mind of Kunihiko Kihara. Recently, in an interview, Kunihiko Kihara also revealed the reason why he chose the lily theme.

Kihara: "For example, I'm thinking about depicting 'love' right now. But nowadays, it is actually very difficult to tell about the love between male and female characters. 'Love' is a thing in itself, as long as you choose to describe it in terms of the relationship between men and women, then no matter how you make it, it will be familiar. However, once you enter the genre of lily, you can easily describe love by using metaphors. I think in this day and age, if you want to portray love, then it is very appropriate to choose the lily type. Besides, if you don't spend a lot of space, then it is difficult to tell about the love between men and women. It is difficult to express this aspect directly. ”

In the previous work "Rotary Penguin Jar", Jihara chose to depict the "love" story between male and female characters. However, in "Lily Bear Storm" this time, his portrayal of "love" may be more direct. He felt like he had split into two parts, shouting, "It's very straightforward indeed!" And dumbfounded thinking, "Ah, good...... In this way, it is straightforward to ......" yourself.

In fact, in the sub-track of "Girls Revolution", director Kihara also used to talk about Lily.

Jihara: "Gay people in this world will love this work. Although there are some very good places, I'm afraid I can't find 2 girls who can interpret the plot so purely. It's unique in that sense, and it makes people want to support them. ”

This time the lily project caused a fierce conflict between Chiho Saito, who was in charge of the original case & manga version of the character, and Kihara. It has even developed into a situation where there is a big noise that "may end the project". And let Jihara also get acute gastroenteritis. Now it's 2015. Jihara is going to challenge a "pure" and "full-mouthed" girl's story again.

In "Lily Bear Storm", the protagonist Chunhui Hongyu has no sense of existence in the class, and is a transparent storage of Zài. But it's such a girl.,But she was accosted by the beautiful girl Lily City Ginko, who recently transferred to school.,Start an exchange.。 However, Red Feather has a sense of disobedience to Yinzi, and always feels that the other party is not a human, but a bear. So what is the truth......?

The shortlist of animated works for the Japan Film Awards has been announced

The Japan Film Awards Association recently held a press conference in Tokyo to announce the shortlist of outstanding film and animation works for the period from December 15, 2013 ~ December 13, 2014. In the 38th Film Awards, 5 animations were selected for the shortlist of outstanding animation works.

The first thing I saw was "Marnie in Memories". This work is based on the British writer Arjune J. G. Robinson is an adaptation of children's literature of the same name. The synopsis of the original work reads: "An old couple living in a small seaside village took in Anna, an introverted girl. Anna lives a lonely life every day because she closes her heart, but one day she meets an incredible young girl, Marnie, and becomes friends with her. However, no one in the village knows about Marnie's ......, but in the movie, the stage is moved to a seaside village in Hokkaido, and the introverted girl is changed to 12-year-old Anna. This work is also the result of Studio Ghibli's transition between the old and the new, but the response after its launch was mediocre, and it is difficult to reach the heights of the Hayao Miyazaki era again. However, being able to be included in the list at least shows that the quality of the work itself is still worthy of affirmation.

The second work is "Giovanni's Island". This is a commemorative work to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Japan Music Entrepreneurs Association. On February 22, 2014, it was officially opened to the audience. The story tells the story of Tatsuo Seno, who served as the head of the defense team in the spring of 1945, his old father Genzo, and his two sons, 10-year-old Junpei and 7-year-old Kanta, lived together, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren lived happily.

The next work is "Detective Conan: A Sniper in Another Dimension". This work received a very good box office after it was broadcast, and the fact that Okiya Pleiades = Shuichi Akai was announced for the first time in the work. In addition, the addition of main characters such as Shinsumi Sera also added a lot of strength to the big sales of the work. What is embarrassing is that Jia Gong Jiazheng, who voiced James Black in the work, once said the words of "re-contact" to Xiuyi at the end, but Jia Gong Jia Zheng passed away on September 30 last year, and there is no way to "contact" Xiuyi anymore.

"The Buddha of Osamu Tezuka-BUDDHA2 Tezuka-Endless Journey-" is also on the list. In the works, the luxurious cast of actors and voice actors, including Sayuri Yoshinaga, Kenichi Matsuyama, Yoko Maki, Seiwa Kanyo (the 26th generation of Noh Optimistic Shiryu), Nana Mizuki, etc., has attracted a lot of attention. In addition, in this work, it tells the story of Shakya after giving up his status as the prince of Shakya and traveling abroad. He meets with the one-eyed monk Deepa, a mysterious boy who can predict the future, and witnesses the great changes that have happened to the woman he once loved, Mikala, and the tragic death of Ashushi. And the intertwining of the fates of Prince Biliuli and Shakyana, who acted in order to invade the Sakya country, is a major attraction of this film. And Osamu Tezuka's understanding of Buddhism has also made many people talk about it.

In addition, the 3DCG animation "STANDBYME Doraemon" is also one of the candidates. The reason why this work has received so much attention is that the plot uses several classic stories from the original work - "Goodbye, Shizuka", "A Thousand Miles from the Land of the Future", "Romance on the Snow Mountain", "Nobita's Wedding Eve" and "Doraemon is Back", etc. Of course, the work was also the first 3D theatrical version of Doraemon in history, and such an attempt proved to be a great success. The cumulative box office has also surpassed the 8 billion yen mark.

Momoiro Clover Z sings the theme song of "Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F".

It's been two years since the release of Dragon Ball Z: Gods & Gods in 2013, and the long-awaited animated theatrical version of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrected F will be released nationwide on April 18. Today, the theatrical producer zuò Fang announced that the theme song of the work will be sung by the popular Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z!

As for why he chose Momoiro Clover Z, Toei Animation's Toei Hayashida Seito explained, "Last year, Momoiro Clover Z won the first place in concert mobilization among female artists, which can be described as a popular fried chicken in today's entertainment industry. In addition, I heard that the five members of Momoiro Clover Z are all big fans of the "Dragon Ball" series, and they are quite clear about the worldview of the entire series, so this time I was relieved to invite them to sing the theme song for "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrected F". At this stage, the title of the theme song has not yet been decided, but Hayashida Suto continues with anticipation, "I hope to maximize the synergistic effect between Dragon Ball 'Z' and Momoiro Clover 'Z' and make the theatrical version more popular."

The members of the peach-colored four-leaf clover are also very excited about the event. Natsuko Momota, the leader of the group, took out Son Goku's nirvana and said, "I hope we can sing a song (^^)/ that will give everyone vitality and vitality, as if it were Goku's anti-genki bomb (laughs)!" Takashiro seemed to convey his joy to reporters, "My dad likes to watch "Dragon Ball" very much, so I have been watching it with him since I was a child, so this time I was able to sing the theme song of "Dragon Ball Z", and the Takashiro family was very moved! Sasaki Ayakus, who worked as the voice of Saori Shirodo in "Saint Seiya LegendofSanctuary" last year, is working with Toei again, and she recalls the 2011 renaming of the group, saying, "I've always been interested in Dragon Ball Z since we had an extra 'Z' in the name of our group, and I'm really happy to be able to sing the theme song of my work this time!" We are honored to be able to sing the theme song for an anime that represents Japan! Shiori Tamai said excitedly: "We all have the word 'Z' in common, and I hope that the theme song we sing can also be loved by everyone!" ”

"Dragon Ball Z: Resurrected F" is a sequel to "Dragon Ball Z: Gods and Gods", which was released in March 2013, and is the nineteenth installment in the theatrical series. Main story: The remnants of the Frieza Army, Solube and Tagma, are approaching Earth in search of the Dragon Balls. The aim was to resurrect Frieza in order to resurrect the Legion. The most evil wish in the history of the universe has finally come true, and the resurrected Frieza plans to take revenge on Goku and the other Saiyans. As a result, the New Frieza Army gathered on Earth, and Gohan, Vic, Kobayashi and others fought fiercely with a thousand Frieza soldiers, while Goku and Vegeta began a fateful duel with Frieza. This time, the original author, Akira Toriyama, was in charge of the original work, script, and character design, and the director was Naoki Yamamuro (who previously served as the character designer and general art supervisor for the anime in "Dragon Ball Z: Gods and Gods")

The animated theatrical version of "Dragon Ball Z: Resurrected F" will be released nationwide in Japan on April 18 in two versions: 2D and 3D!

The following is a message from each member of Peach-colored Clover Z:

Natsuko Momota: What kind of miracle can be born between Dragon Ball and Momoiro Clover? We are looking forward to it!! I hope we can sing a song (^^)/ that will give everyone vitality and vitality, just like Goku's anti-genki bomb (laughs)!

Takashiro Lingyi: My dad likes to watch "Dragon Ball" very much, so I have been watching it with him since I was a child, so this time I was able to sing the theme song of "Dragon Ball Z", and the Takagi family was very moved! "Dragon Ball" is a masterpiece that has been widely supported by people of all ages, and I will definitely work hard!

Ayakusa Sasaki: I've always been interested in Dragon Ball Z since we had an extra 'Z' in the name of our group, and I'm really happy to be able to sing the theme song of my work this time! Dragon Ball has a long history, and we are honored to be able to sing the theme song for an anime that represents Japan!

Shiori Tamai: We all have the word 'Z' in common, and I hope that the theme song will be loved by everyone! I'm full of energy right now, and I'm so motivated that I'm about to be able to release the Turtle Wave Qigong (laughs)!

Amazing reviews! The electronic version of Shirou's Masamune manga series is on sale

Shirou's plan to make an e-book of his works has been officially implemented, and the first installment of the work "The Digital Version of Apple Nuclear Wars 1 Prometheus Challenge" has been released in major electronic bookstores such as BOOKWALKER from today.

This project is to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the publication of Shirou Masamune's debut book, "Apple Nuclear War", and the e-book work will be supervised by the original author, Shirou Masamune, and unnecessary annotations have been removed and content that may cause misunderstandings has been corrected. The second installment, "The Digital Version of Apple Nuclear Wars 2: The Liberation of Prometheus", will be released in March this year. In addition to the commemorative project, on January 17, "Apple Nuclear Wars Alpha", which uses the latest CG technology, will be screened nationwide. This film is different from the American version released half a year ago, and this is the Japanese version directed by director Nobushi Aramaki, who has produced many theatrical versions of "Apple Nuclear Wars".

The following is the content of the message published by the original author, Shirou Masamune:

"Apple's Nuclear War" was first published in 1985, but today, 30 years later, due to the development of the Internet and mobile terminal dictionary functions, I think the need for off-column footnotes has been very, very low, so in the process of e-booking, I have deleted all the footnotes that can be deleted. In terms of the characters' lines, the outdated statements and the parts that are easy to mislead have also been corrected. Therefore, I don't know if this correction will be approved by all readers, but I personally think that it should improve the reading experience of the work and make it more fluent for you to read.

When I was working on the removal of off-column footnotes, the editor said to me that "off-column footnotes are also a kind of personality", so I listened to the editor's advice and kept the three footnotes that I had intended to delete. As for the basic content, the era setting, and the painting, it is exactly the same as it was at that time, and nothing has been added or removed. Of course, after all, 30 years have passed, and I understand that the work will look a little old, but at the same time, I think it is inevitable and not too big a problem for the work, so I have no plans to make new interpretations or new changes at the moment.

I'm sorry to the readers for not being able to add anything new to the old version. In addition to the restoration of the original manuscript in my spare time from my daily work, I am afraid that if I didn't have this opportunity, I would not have had the opportunity to read my manga again. This time, I would like to thank all of you who participated in this e-book project, as well as all the readers who were willing to purchase this 30-year-old manga. I hope this work will still bring you fun!

The Hollywood version of "Ghost in the Shell" was released in April 2017

On January 14, Walt Disney, a major American film company, announced the release schedule of blockbuster films after 2016. According to the announcement, the film "GhostintheShell", produced by DreamWorks, will be released on April 14, 2017.

The Hollywood live-action movie "GhostintheShell" is adapted from the original science fiction comic "Ghost in the Shell" created by Japanese cartoonist Shiro Masamune, and it has been confirmed that the well-known American actress Scarlett Johansson will play the role of the heroine Motoko Kusanagi. In addition, the film will also be shot in 3D, and it is believed that its realistic images will definitely amaze the audience's eyes.

Although there are still more than two years to go before the official release, there has been a lot of gossip about the movie. As early as January 2007, the Hollywood version of "Ghost in the Shell" signed a live-action film agency contract with the Japanese animation production company ProductionI.G. It wasn't until 7 years later, in 2014, that rumors began that the movie would be directed by Rupert Sanders of "Snow White and the Huntsman" and that Scarlett Johansson would play the heroine, and it was also said that Disney would be the film scheduler. The scale of the film's release has been raised from 3,000 theaters earlier to 4,000 theaters at present, which shows that the official is full of confidence in the film.

On the other hand, the four-part film "Ghost in the Shell ARAISE" filmed in Japan has officially ended in 2014. But that's not the end of it, just a few days ago, "Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version" announced the production of zuò, and it will be released in Japan in the early summer of 2015. Due to Hollywood's tendency to avoid making the same work a movie in a third-party project, many fans are worried that the domestic anime version will be pressured by Hollywood to temporarily suspend the production of the new series of animated theatrical versions.
