"Winner is Justice" is finally on the air.

Iwabuchi Katsuto perked up, pinched the small notebook beside him with both hands, and was ready to criticize him - he usually doesn't find something wrong like this, but this time it's different, he won't find something to come out, and his newly grown hair will fall out again.

And both times because of Tsukasa Higashino...

Of course, he was a little unwilling.

Accompanied by a burst of simple and light music, "Winner is Justice" was launched very easily.

There are no fancy theme songs, and there are no various opening song clips..."Winner is Justice" opens unpretentiously.

This made Katsuto Iwabuchi, who was guarding the TV, a little surprised.

Originally, he thought that "Winner is Justice" would be the same as "Unnatural Death", and at the beginning, he used an excellent opening song like "Lemon" to make people shine... After all, Tsukasa Higashino, a composer, is also in Higashino Studio.

Katsuto Iwabuchi shook his head, retracted his mind, and didn't think about these things anymore, but focused on the animation.

Unlike Tsukasa Higashino's manga version of "Winner is Justice", the anime version of "Winner is Justice" has many more descriptions of the characters' facial expressions, which also makes the originally flat characters more three-dimensional.

Looking at the overly rich character expressions in the animation, Katsuto Iwabuchi couldn't help but let out a breath, and he was already thinking in his heart - how much did it cost? How many original drawings did it take to get to this point?

Shouldn't Higashino Studio be short of people? Why doesn't it look like this at all? There is no sign of looking for an outsourcing company at all.

The so-called outsourcing company is actually a means of asking an outside company to help draw the background or characters when the animation producer is really unable to spare his hands and feet and has insufficient manpower.

Of course, since it is an outsourcing company, it is natural that its painting is not particularly professional, and many of the 'stickman' in the animation or the 'long man' in the long view come from here.

However, in "The Winner is Justice", there is no such scene of ruining the work at all, on the contrary, whether it is a close-up or a long shot, the portrayal of the characters' expressions..."The Winner is Justice" can be said to be a high-class work.

If you really want to find a thorn in the fish and insist on saying something that is not very safe, it is probably because the voice actor of the victim in the first episode, Pingkura, used too much force and felt that it was not good.

Other than that, you can't even find any flaws.

One could even say that... This is actually not a flaw, at most it is just a fly in the ointment, and the level that can't be reached by picking thorns, after all, dubbing happens from time to time in animation production, as long as it is not emotionally insufficient, it can be accepted.

Aside from this voice actor who is too violent, Dai Zhenzhiko in "The Winner is Justice" made Iwabuchi Katsuto's eyes shine, and really matched Dai Zhenzhizi's feeling of being naïve and ignorant, and yearning for justice.

And at the end of the first episode, in the face of Tomoko Dai's rhetorical question, Kensuke Furumon's sentence "Don't be too narcissistic, we're not gods, we're just simple lawyers." It's really powerful.

Storyboards, close-ups, long shots, painting styles, and voice acting, there are almost no flaws to be found.

Iwabuchi Katsuto watched the whole episode, and the shortcomings were not found, but the advantages were written in a notebook... He looked at the notebook and felt that as long as this thing was sorted out and polished a little, it would be directly published in the magazine tomorrow.

He was speechless for a while, and then reached out and touched his hair, feeling that this time his hair seemed to be unkept...

There really can't be helped..."Winner is Justice" really can't find any black points.

He can't always speak against his will—when everyone says it's good, he says it's bad alone?

Then he must not be sprayed to autism by these Higashino fans on the Internet?

But there should still be a chance.

Katsuto Iwabuchi is going to see the quality of several other animations, after all, October Animation is not only Tsukasa Higashino, but also MIC Animation Production Company, Nishiko Pictures, Kawaguchi Studio, Asuka... Well... I won't talk about the Asuka Society.

As the saying goes, there is harm when there is comparison, and if the work of several other production companies is good, he can naturally compare the work of several other companies with Higashino Studio's "Winner is Justice", and he can also take it for granted that some shortcomings in "Winner is Justice".

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method worked, so he made a special trip to find the video from the previous day.

A few days ago, he made a special trip to record MIC animation production, Westport Pictures, and Kawaguchi Studio's animation work, and now it comes in handy.

Katsuto Iwabuchi watched them one by one and evaluated the three animation production companies, MIC, Nishiko, and Kawaguchi.

MIC Animation Production's "Takagi-kun Next Door" is a conventional youth daily animation, but to be honest, this theme is nothing more than falling in love and solving the problem of adolescent and teenage years... These routines are too old, and although MIC is quite well made, there is still too much lack of animation that is out of the routine like "Winner is Justice".

Westport Pictures' "Galaxy Century" focuses on special effects and battle scenes, but it may be the reason for the poor sales, screening, and peripheral results of the previous animation work, so this time the "Galaxy Century" is overstretched, and some daily pictures are obviously hired by outsourcing companies, which is too different from the picture during the battle, not to mention compared with "The Winner is Justice", and even "Takagi-kun Next Door" is not comparable.

And Kawaguchi Studio, as a veteran studio, is really strong, the first episode of "Guns and Fire" has a strong momentum, and the perception of watching it over and over again makes Katsuto Iwabuchi even feel that he is in the middle of "The Winner is Justice"... Maybe "Winner is Justice" surpasses it, but the difference is not particularly big.

But this kind of result will definitely not be satisfactory to Katsuto Iwabuchi, none of the three famous animation production companies in the industry can crush "Winner is Justice"...

Of course,In fact, there's still a bird club left.,It's just a lily moe animation... To be honest, Katsuto Iwabuchi has never caught a cold.

After all, it's 2004, and the era when Japan's Showa atmosphere is still very strong, and every Japanese man wants to be a macho Showa man, not this kind of thing that looks at the love between girls and sells cuteness.

"Let's see." Iwabuchi Katsu thought that he had seen so much anyway, and there was no shortage of this Asuka Club.

So I rummaged through the footage and began to look closely.

And then...

And he was fascinated.

......

The next day, Moriya magazine released a photo.

The photo above is the editor of "Moriya" magazine who deliberately coded his face.

All of the hair they had grown in the past few months had now been shaved off, and each of them had a 'strong' hairstyle.

Moriya Magazine has fulfilled its promise.

It was also funny for Higashino Tsukasa to know about this.

He had a little impression of this magazine, after all, they were very ruthless at the beginning, and it looked impossible.

But honestly, they're willing to keep their promises, and that's pretty good.

It's like Iwakaku Publishing House and Mozuki Bookstore, who secretly scolded Tsukasa Higashino for the reproduction of "Winner is Justice" some time ago, and now he is shrinking his head and being a turtle, looking like he dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it.

The reputation of "Winner is Justice" also began to completely reverse directly after the official release of Fuji TV, and now there is basically no one who will suddenly kill the dark horse.

And as an investor in "Winner is Justice"... That is, Fuji TV, they are smiling from ear to ear... Fortunately, when Tsukasa Higashino approached them to negotiate the specific details of the screening time of "Winner is Justice", they were very polite and did not blindly ask for high compensation.

Now it looks like it's fully earned.

As for the ratings... The ratings of Midnight Animation are actually about the same everywhere, even if it's "Winner is Justice", it won't change much...

This is not a question of the plot and the degree of excitement, but a simple problem of the Japanese animation audience, after all, most Japanese viewers will still watch their favorite TV series, and will not choose to watch late-night animation.

Even if it was Tsukasa Higashino's previous life, there were only animations like Japan's national animation "Miss Conch" and "Cherry Maruko" - Tsukasa Higashino only vaguely remembered that even "Dragon Ball" and "Naruto" didn't seem to have this qualification.

Of course, many people may not have heard of the name "Miss Conch", but it does deserve to be the first in the ratings of Japanese animation, relying on the carrier of "animation" once cut 19% of the ratings, surpassing many Japanese dramas, and broadcast almost thousands of episodes, which has a deep impact on the Japanese, similarly, "Miss Conch" has not been broadcast overseas, and in the minds of many Japanese, its influence even exceeds that of official Japanese news.

Therefore, if you really want to look at the results of "Winner is Justice" from the side, you still have to wait for the results after the sales of Blu-ray discs.

This is something that is waiting not only for Tsukasa Higashino, but also for animation production companies such as MIC, Nishiko, and Kawaguchi.

They are waiting for their results.

is also waiting for the results of the dark horse of "Winner is Justice".

In this kind of waiting situation, except for the special effects artists and sound effects engineers who are still working in the post-production stage, the other employees in the Higashino studio are basically in a state of having nothing to do, and seeing that they have nothing to do, Higashino Tsukasa did not hesitate, and directly pulled them to play table tennis.

The reason used is also very legitimate, instead of sitting and waiting for sudden death, it is better to stand up and exercise.

The result of this pull made Higashino Tsukasa completely unexpected, most of the people in Higashino's studio would play table tennis, and they played decently.

So taking this opportunity, Higashino Tsukasa carried a racket and killed the employees in Higashino's studio - the title of Higashino Table Tennis Demon King was also shouted louder and louder.

In the back, even Yumi Takahashi, Aoi Fujiwara, and Ryoka Konoe, who came to visit, took the initiative to join in the fun, and went to the table to find Higashino Tsukasa for a few games.

Among them, Yumi Takahashi is the most athletic, but under Tsukasa Higashino, she still lost after two rounds, and said angrily: "Mr. Higashino, why don't you talk about martial arts at all, it's over before I can see the ball." ”

And Fujiwara Aoi saw that Yumi Takahashi was defeated, but she was disdainful in her heart, she felt that Yumi Takahashi was not like her, she played with IQ, and only used her athletic talent to challenge, which would definitely not be able to beat Tsukasa Higashino.

She's different, she's used to thinking with her brain and making tactics.

According to Aoi Fujiwara, Tsukasa Higashino is good at forehand killing, but he hasn't seen it a few times, so his weakness should be on the left side of the table, and the return hand is a point he is not good at.

She served straight to her 'high IQ' analysis and twice pulled Higashino's forehand to the left of the table to force him to return to the ball.

Then Aoi Fujiwara was soon sent off by Tsukasa Higashino 11:2.

Until the end of the game, she was still full of chagrin and confusion - what's going on? That's not what I expected.

How did I lose?

For her expression, Higashino Tsukasa on the side couldn't help but shake his head.

His ball skills are from the Celestial Empire... In other words, if you haven't played in the Celestial Empire, you don't know what kind of rookie skills you are proud of.

Finally, there is Konoe Ryoka, she has no athletic talent at all, and she doesn't know what to do while pinching a table tennis racket... But it was such a person who didn't know what to do, but he lived the longest, and even played with Higashino Tsukasa with a score of 11:9 at one point.

Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara next to them were dumbfounded.

That's not how you put the water? This is a galaxy that has been released directly.

Both of their mouths are really sour... Yumi Takahashi was almost so angry that she ran out now to find a table tennis genius boyfriend and came back to torture and kill Tsukasa Higashino.

Konoe Ryoka also knew that Tsukasa Higashino had released the water, so the audience blushed, and they didn't dare to speak in the face of the strange eyes of their two dead friends.

In this situation, a week passed quickly, and under the command of Tsukasa Higashino, the first Blu-ray disc of "Winner is Justice" was put on the market, along with the works of several other companies.

The next step is to wait for the results.

As long as the Blu-ray disc of "Winner is Justice" sells more than 50,000 copies, it means that the hegemony animation of this season of "Winner is Justice" is promising.

The whole sales process does not need to be repeated, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara both paid for a disc of "Winner is Justice".

And Konoe Ryoka bought three full portions with a lot of money, spending 15,000 yen, showing the true nature of a rich woman - there is really a feeling that even if you don't go to work, I can support you.

On the other side, Tsukasa Higashino was notified by Ryuichi Yano at the sales report meeting of "Winner is Justice"-

The Blu-ray disc of "Winner is Justice" sold just over 15,000 copies on its first day.

The atmosphere of the entire conference room was also suppressed at once.

Because of this achievement...

How to say it...

It can only be said that it is average.

I can really only say that it is average.

So what's wrong?
