Chapter 62: Maverick
In terms of plot alone, the ending of the Black Rock Shooter in each episode can be guessed with your feet, and the battle between "Black Rock" and "Lord of Death" in the first episode naturally ends with the former winning and the latter being "liberated".
The battle footage needs to be supported by high-intensity painting, and thanks to the relatively adequate funding, Mad Poihat has done his best to deal with this. But the most impressive thing about this sentence is really the special effects...... the role of "foreign aid" is played at this time.
In fact, with sufficient funding, it is possible to completely outsource the special effects and post-production work.
And this statement shows that the fledgling Mad Poihat is dealing with certain qualities in the picture - like their next-door neighbor, Mad Poihat seems to like to use bright light.
Chase-encounter-battle-victory, it can be said that the plot of the six episodes of the Black Rock Shooter is repeating such a process, the difference is the enemy's identity, ability, and the way the battle is expressed.
At the same time, because of such a plot arrangement, the work does not need to be too deliberate to create an atmosphere, an empty environment, a lonely winner, and the sense of emptiness can be easily shaped under the effect of such key points.
The relationship between the characters and the environment has always been like this, and it is even because of Mad Poihat's unusually high filling of background details that it brings out the "singleness" of the protagonist Heiyan more and more - basically only two characters will appear in each episode, and then one will "disappear" at the end, so the remaining feelings of the rest of the people remain...... The word "lonely" is enough to describe it.
This is one of the few emotional tones in this work.
Of course, this is all point-to-point or superficial, and this work does not intend to show anything profound, nor does it deliberately express anything profound, and of course, there is no way to show it. The victorious are forever trapped in this space, while the defeated are liberated – and so is what the character of "Black Rock Shooter" pursues.
The single plot, rich graphics, and varied music and soundtrack style can be said to be the main characteristics of Black Rock Shooter.
Black Rock Shooter will play 4 episodes in November and 2 episodes in December, and the OP of each episode will be reset, and the way of the soundtrack will change accordingly...... Of course, because the OP will continue to change, then the OP's picture will also be redone, after all, each word is only twelve minutes, and not reusing the picture is a more conscientious point in production.
In other words, the OP of the Black Rock Shooter in the first episode was "not completely burning", and he was honorably laid off in the second episode, and the OP was replaced with another song called "Black Bullet" with a brighter rhythm.
Black Rock Shooter's OP plus ED alone has 8 songs, judging by the quality and quantity of these songs...... It is almost foreseeable that if the work "Black Rock Shooter" can achieve a certain amount of popularity, then the biggest beneficiary will definitely be the trio of Kaoru Sazaki sensei; And if the work "Black Rock Shooter" fails, then the biggest beneficiary will definitely be this trio.
Because no matter what, it's definitely a musical success in this work.
In any sense, Kaoru Tokizaki Studio should benefit more than the producer Mad Poihat because of this animation, because it can be "an instant hit" with Kuroiwa's music and soundtrack work, although the core work is not done by that side, but this is known to no one except the person concerned.
Of course, the nature of this job is different between the two, Kuroiwa is only a job for the teacher, and Miyadai is only a job for the teacher, while Miyadai is on the side of the company, so it is "significant" that such a project can be successfully born.
All of the songs in Kuroiwa's shooters are marked as "songwriters" as "M. Juglans", and the singers are Asami Fuyushiro, Chibongi Chinatsu, and Shengjingjima Rokkana.
However, due to factors such as age and "self-protection", their names do not appear directly, and the corresponding singing column is written with words like "Neko...... The three of them should be counted as a group for the time being, and "Neko" is the name of this group.
The meaning of the name of the combination is also relatively clear, that is, M(iss). Juglans is a cat (Neko) - of course, this meaning is only known to whoever chooses the name, otherwise anyone can trigger such associations from these two names unless the brain is pumping.
And Kuroiwa's music style should also be said to be "unchangeable", because they themselves come from different works with their own styles, and Miyadai has never thought of integrating these together.
For new animations, there is often a "three-episode rule",That is, the level and "value" of an animation can be determined from the first three episodes.。
When I came to the third episode,Whether it's the picture or the plot,The audience has seen the place where they should see.,The feelings of the work are basically determined.,You can even speculate on the future direction of the work based on the existing plot.,So at this time, there is a disagreement.:If you think the animation is interesting, you'll continue to chase it.,If you think it's boring, you'll give up.。
As far as the producer is concerned, in order to further retain the audience, they often set up different plots in the third episode, or further reveal the plot, or create fierce conflicts.
Similar to Hollywood's commercial film production model, there are detailed arrangements for joke settings, plot contradictions, etc., and animation also has this kind of routine, but it has not matured to that extent.
Of course, the three-episode rule is mainly a statement for Ji Fan, and the "short drama" of Black Rock Shooter is a bit special after all, and the third episode may have just aroused the audience's desire to watch, but it is already halfway through.
But even so, its third sentence is handled according to similar principles...... It's impossible to have any twists in the plot, but radical changes have been made in the music style and picture style.
In terms of fighting style or performance, Kuroiwa finally got the title of "shooter" in the third episode...... She went from "melee artillery" full-time to "mobile battery".
The shooter really still has to use the cannon to hit the long range, so it is inevitable to bombard the city and buildings, so the special effects of this sentence has increased in a large proportion.
And the core soundtrack of this episode has become the kind that quite sets off the atmosphere:
The title that no one can understand, the lyrics that no one can understand, the familiar melody and the "Randian" are quite sufficient...... This is the legendary "Hiroyuki Sawano".
Cover up the lack of the original painting with special effects, create a strong emotional conflict with music, and in line with the principle that whoever copies is not copying, since it is a bombardment, then the third episode is replaced with the famous "MKALIEZ".
Aside from the problem of genre, in terms of lyrics, Sawano's style is truly maverick. His lyrics have always been a mixture of English, German, and Japanese, and no one can figure out what is written without studying monkhood.
Of course, "Black Rock Shooter" can't have the vast background of the Martians coming to Earth, and Black Rock itself is not an interstellar player, but ...... If you use it, you can barely use it.
Brainless burning is fine.
