March 19th.

The day after the final episode of "Madoka Magical Girl" aired.

Very suddenly.

The Asahi Shimbun evening newspaper published a review article on "Madoka Magical Girl" written by the famous anime critic Yuxin.

In the time when the official website of BPO was still hanging with criticism of "Madoka Magical Girl".

The Asahi Shimbun evening newspaper published a review article about "Madoka Magical Girl".

There was no warning in this review article, and even Gu Xue didn't know about it.

The title of this review article is - Magical Girl and Gu Xue.

["Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"] ”

Hello everyone, I'm Yuxin, I believe you are very familiar with the above sentence, especially after countless secondary creations have emerged.

This sentence is from the work produced by YUKI Studio and supervised by Gu Xue - "Magical Girl Madoka".

This is an impressive quote that may be unimpressed by those who have not seen it, but I actually thought so at first.

To tell you the truth, before the character Asami in the play turned around, even at the most tense moment, even if I saw Sayaka and Madoka hugging each other in fright, I still felt disappreciatively, "It's going to be fine~"

But after that, you also know the development, and the next plot is like a punch to the bridge of my nose. Then he yelled:

"Whoever gave you the promise will be fine???"

Yes.

Magical girls will be killed and injured, which should be a matter of course.

If you think about it carefully, even those magical girl stories that are really peaceful, there have been moments of urgency, but we never thought that magical girls would be killed or injured.

However, if it was just a punch to the bridge of my nose, I would at best think this anime was bold, but that's all, just for the sake of curiosity.

But this animation is not as simple as punching the bridge of my nose...... It punched me twice in the stomach.

Heartbreaking.

However, while it is heartbreaking, I can't deny that this is a good anime.

If the audience is familiar with Hollywood-style three-act writing techniques, they will find that the script of the animation "Madoka Magical Girl" perfectly fits the writing of three-act plays......

……

…… In fact, the success of this animation is far more than just the excellent narrative logic and narrative rhythm.

In the animation, Gu Xue supervised the use of extremely stylized ways to express the witch and the maze, plus a large number of scenes that rely on shapes rather than carefully drawn, so that the places that need to be expressed the most are particularly charming.

The atmosphere and emotional rendering of the story are also very in place, with excellent, pilgrimage dubbing, which is very successful in telling the story of a rather cruel but romantic magical girl.

The whole story of the animation, the structure is very complete, starting from a proposition of the comparison of the values of the two parties, a whole world and story are constructed to tell the opposition and conflict of these two values, the whole story clues are extensive and unified, the world view is self-consistent and complete, and the characters are fully motivated.

In terms of character creation, this animation is even more extreme, such as Sayaka and Apricot, in fact, the time for them to really shape positively, only 4-9 This short five episodes are interspersed, and the plot of the protagonist group is also interspersed, but I am still very shocked and moved by the choice of apricots at the end of the ninth episode.

Not to mention Xiao Mei Yan and Madoka.

Out of love for Madoka, Madoka has been reincarnated countless times, and Madoka finally took on the love of Madoka Xiao, so she wanted to give love to the world, and decided to become the Ring Principle to save all the witches in this world.

These are extremely moving.

After watching the animation in its entirety, it is true that the previous story is tragic, but tragedy is not something that this anime is trying to express.

How tragic the previous story is, how heartwarming the ending is.

Because of Madoka's disappearance, the world is saved, and the contradictions in inner values, the debts and contributions in interpersonal relationships, and the cruel flaws in the view of time are all saved at once by an act that can be called a miracle because of long-term efforts and waiting.

Like yesterday I saw a comment that said.

This is the magical girl anime that is least like a magical girl.

But in the end, it's the most magical girl.

Throughout the history of animation, there has not been a single work like "Madoka Magical Girl".

Thank you to Supervisor Gu Xue for the gift to the audience.

This work will eventually leave a name in the history of animation.

And those who love animation will remember and remember the poignant story told by the animation "Madoka Magical Girl".

- Rain Heart.

……

That's right, in addition.

Let me digress.

BPO。

"Madoka Magical Girl" is a late-night animation, I want to know, who is upset? Is it inside the BPO? If this kind of late-night animation, without any bloody scenes and revealing scenes, is going to be off the air, then I have a suggestion, just ban the animation. 】

……

A large animation review article.

's blow to "Madoka Magical Girl" is very, very high.

But this is not the most exciting, the most exciting thing is that the author of this review article, the famous critic Yu Xin, at the end of the article, bombarded BPO, although it was a small line, but she did bombard BPO......

You must know that the Asahi Shimbun has been published for more than 100 years and enjoys a good reputation throughout the country, making it one of the largest newspapers and periodicals.

And Yuxin is not an unknown person.

This newspaper has just been launched.

His remarks were noted.

But that's not all.

Just when Gu Xue saw the news, she was a little confused.

Twitter.

A large group of well-known practitioners in the industry have stood up and stood on Gu Xue's side to attack BPO.

Among them are famous supervisors, original artists, illustrators, manga artists and even light writers, presidents of animation production companies.

Some people knew Gu Xue.

For example, the gangsters such as Ando Zhenyu, such as the supervisors who have worked with before, Abe Wangichi, Nakata Tomo, and the performer Sengoku.

But more of them are those that Gu Xue doesn't know, but has heard of the name.

For example, Fu Qing, the superintendent of Fwn Co., Ltd.; Before the release of the "Attack on Titan" disc, the animation supervisor Itano Sora, the animation with the highest sales of animated discs; Cao Hong, the most anticipated top 10 famous superintendent, has served in many well-known works and has the title of original crusher Fuko Takaya; President of Works Animation Production Company; This year's light-selling champion writer Kenji Hote, and manga artist Narumi Jinjin, who has the second best-selling historical manga volume...... And so on and so forth.

"Who's upset?"

"If this kind of late-night animation, without any bloody scenes and revealing scenes, will be stopped, then I have a suggestion, just ban the animation."

These two sentences, for a while, frequently appeared in front of almost everyone's eyes.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Today, because of a "Magical Girl Madoka", half of the AC circle ran out.

The BPO side was stunned.

In particular, Junichi Hamada, the chairman of the board.

This time, it was not an ordinary audience that was questioned, but a well-known figure in the AC circle.

It's not just about venting this time.

More like ...... Forced palace.

"What the hell do you mean, you can give me an explanation."

Probably, that's what it means.

They didn't say that there was anything wrong with BPO regulation, but they were all supporting "Madoka Magical Girl" and asked for an explanation.

"Why, why do you all have to help this Gu Xue supervise the platform ......?"

Chairman Junichi Hamada looked at his phone, his brows almost furrowed.

……

YUKI Studios.

After Eri Sato shouted that something big was not good, Gu Xue also saw the tweet.

The same shocked.

She didn't know what was going on.

Finally remembering what Ando Zhenyu said, Gu Xue was about to make a phone call to ask.

The phone rang first.

Unknown numbers.

Gu Xue picked it up.

"Hello, Supervisor Gu Xue, "Madoka Magical Girl" is very good!"

As soon as Gu Xue picked up the phone, the person on the other end of the phone said such an opening sentence.

"Huh? Who are you? ”

"I'm Ai Hashimoto, hello, Gu Xue overseer."

“……”

Gu Xue was stunned, not understanding the situation, and after a while, she held back a sentence: "Thank you......"

"No thanks, the animation is really good, you're amazing."

On the other end of the phone, Ai Hashimoto, who didn't know where to get Gu Xue's call, said with some admiration.

Gu Xue responded, then changed the conversation and asked, "Thank you, is there anything wrong?" If not......"

She didn't have time to listen to Ai Hashimoto flattering herself, even if the other party was a big idol, she still wanted to ask Jinyu Ando what was going on.

Ai Hashimoto was a little anxious and said, "Wait, Gu Xue supervises you not to hang up the phone." I know you've been having some trouble lately, BPO, right? ”

"Hmm."

"It's really troublesome.,I also looked at Twitter just now.,So many seniors give you a platform.,It's huge.,But it's going to be ugly.,The most important thing for BPO is credibility.,Now BPO has noticed that there is a problem with the review of "Madoka Magical Girl".,But it's still holding on.,It should continue to hold on next.,Because no matter what,They won't let their credibility be damaged.。

"In addition, Gu Xue supervises I don't know if you have understood, in addition to the program, BPO also accepts appeals from artists, such as unfair treatment, harassment, etc., as long as artists encounter such things in the program, they can appeal to BPO......"

Gu Xue didn't understand what she meant.

Lobbyists?

Gu Xue frowned lightly and asked, "Miss Hashimoto, what do you mean?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a lobbyist."

Ai Hashimoto seemed to have guessed Gu Xue's thoughts, and immediately replied.

What a delicate girl.

Gu Xue was puzzled: "Then who are?" ”

"I want to help you, I can help you with this matter."

"Help me?" Gu Xue was a little strange.

"Yes, though, after helping you, I hope you can help me for a ...... too"

Gu Xue: "Huh??" ”

On the other end of the phone, Ai Hashimoto took a deep breath, and after a pause, she said with some frustration:

"Supervisor Gu Xue, you ...... Interested in working as a director on a live-action film? My original director ran away......"
