Chapter 25: The so-called otaku spirit
Early in the morning,Mo Wangqiu yawned and walked on the road to the Peak Gasaki School Parkγ In the middle of the night last year, Shiyu Kasumigaoka didn't know what was crazy, so she suddenly called Mo Wangqiu to wake him up, and then had an in-depth discussion about the content setting of the new book, and didn't let him go until more than ten o'clock in the morning.
Thanks to this, Mo Wangqiu has no energy at all now, holding a schoolbag in one hand while yawning constantly.
"Good morning." A big man walked up to Mo Wangqiu and greeted him.
Mo Wangqiu looked at it, but it was Nozaki Metaro.
Although I usually don't feel anything, but if I walk with this guy, the feeling of surprise is a little depressing, this big guy is not like Sakurajima at all, and the height of one meter nine is definitely the existence of Ling Ling. Although Mo Wangqiu's height is also above average, it is definitely dwarfed by the other party.
"Morning~" Mo Wangqiu, who seemed to have his body hollowed out, said hello weakly.
"Listen to me, Wangqiu, I already finished the heroine's character design last night, alas, it's really not easy, alas......" Unlike Mo Wangqiu, Nozaki Meitaro's glittering appearance almost blinded the eyes of others, although people are spiritualized on happy occasions, but this guy doesn't need to have an expression like he is about to become a winner in life, right?
Especially in the eyes of the other party, it is almost like saying "Do you want to see it?" Want to see it? A few words.
Mo Wangqiu let out a long sigh, and then said, "When you get to the classroom, show me, you completed the character design yesterday." β
"Okay, okay." Although Nozaki Metaro was excited, he didn't forget some important things: "How is Miri-sensei Kashiwagi doing there?" β
"Didn't refuse...... But it doesn't look like you want to say yes. Recalling the incomprehensible book artist, Mo Wangqiu's mood was even worse, yesterday he just said a few words, and the other party hurriedly went offline, not giving a chance to communicate well.
"That's right. Mr. Kashiwagi is really not very good at talking. Nozaki Metaro touched his chin and said very strangely: "Strange, when I showed her the character design I draw, she was obviously very interested, and she redrew two character drawings with great interest." β
Mo Wangqiu shook his head, picked up his hand and glanced at it, but still didn't reply, there was really no way at all.
So far, in addition to writing the script, although the copywriter Kasumigaoka Shiyu has already started to work, the troubles in other aspects have not been solved at all. Kashiwagi Mile has not yet responded to the original painting, and the program ...... It seems that I have to go find Sun Ze first.
Script, concept art, program.
Mo Wangqiu always felt that something was missing, but he really couldn't remember it for a while.
At this time, he met a familiar black long straight girl, put aside Nozaki Metaro, and walked to the other party in a few steps: "Morning, under the snow." β
It looks like the eldest lady's snow under the snow Xue Nai has a different temperament, as if the flower of Kaolin can be seen from a distance and is not approachable, and the students around her have subconsciously kept a distance from each other, which is why Mo Wangqiu can easily see each other.
"How's Mi?" Under the snow, Xue Nai first asked about the kitten's situation, and then reluctantly added a sentence "Early." β
"Very good, close to everyone but me." Mo Wangqiu smiled bitterly.
The gray kitten called Xiao Mi doesn't know what the situation is, when he meets Megumi Kato and Aunt Ryoko, he will run to each other's feet and be coquettish, but he treats Mo Wangqiu with a swaggering appearance, for some reason, Mo Wangqiu looks at the kitten, and he will hear the dubbing of the mystery "stupid human" from outside the sky.
It makes him very unhappy when he sees the cat now, so he likes to make a grimace to scare it, and then he is counted down by Megumi Kato.
But in general, Xiao Mi's exit is still very good, and it recognizes the real person in charge of the family at a glance, the talker, and it is liked by Aunt Ryoko and Megumi Kato, and its current life is called a moisturizing, not to mention the dried fish every day, and it can still rub on the chest of Megumi Kato and Aunt Ryoko.
Alas.
I want to be a cat in my next life.
"The baseball club is hiring! Don't let your youth waste on boring studies, come and play baseball with us! Our goal is Koshien! β
"Western art research colleagues will be looking for people, whether you like Europe and the United States, Asia, or even Germany, as long as you join us, there will be old drivers."
"The Tea Art Club welcomes this year's new students...... Fan Commissioner! That illegal association has reappeared! β
Mo Wangqiu looked at the farce near the atrium speechlessly, these students are really energetic, whether it is the baseball club members who shave their heads and shout some unreliable slogans, or the members of the Western Art Research Association who are running for their lives, or the fan committee members who chase each other with sticks.
All have a sense of youth.
Speaking of which,I've decided to gather a few people to participate in the winter comiket.,And the ready-made clubs don't have an appetite for themselves.,The only anime club related to the second dimension is still an ordinary club that only plays cosplay.,Do you want to re-form a club?
Mo Wangqiu recalled the introduction of Minegasaki School Park, and he remembered that about this kind of club activity, if you are interested in forming your own one, you just need to submit an application to the school and provide the signatures of at least five students. In principle, as long as it is not too excessive, it can be passed, so Mo Wangqiu has always been unable to figure out what kind of angry thing the Western Art Research Association has done, and he was chased and killed by the Fan Committee like this.
Signatures of five people......
Count one yourself, plus Sun Ze, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and Nozaki Metaro, who are more likely to agree, and there is one less.
Mo Wangqiu couldn't help but look at the snow under the snow on the side.
"Under the snow, do you want to form a club with me?"
βοΌβ
γγγγγγ
To be honest, Mo Wangqiu is still very disappointed with Minesaki's animation club, seeing this animation club that only plays cosplay, he can't help but think of when he just went to college, at the instigation of his classmates, he visited the school's major clubs, and he was most interested in the university's animation club at that time, because in his impression, the animation club should be a group of like-minded peers to discuss and learn the two-dimensional culture, play games together, just like in the animation, it is a relaxed and happy place, and it is a gathering place for a house.
But soon, he found out that he was wrong, Mo Wangqiu's university club said that it was an animation club, but rather a cosplay enthusiast club, and the atmosphere was not as relaxed as he imagined, and like other clubs, it was indispensable to fight openly and secretly, tearing each other apart, and then Mo Wangqiu finally figured it out, the real house, but it was not so easy to get together.
So sometimes he wants to laugh when he sees the so-called two-dimensional characters in the TV series, hey, if playing cos is two-dimensional, what are those practitioners who really like this industry and give everything they have to their dreams, are they brave people who break the dimensional wall?
Especially those places called comic exhibitions, which are actually cosplay contests, sell some so-called "fandom goods", Mo Wangqiu was disappointed when he went once.
Sure enough, it's not what I imagined.
Then,In all kinds of circumstances,He didn't have the same fanaticism for the second dimension as before.,Except for occasionally watching a few new episodes under the introduction of friends.,Mo Wangqiu gradually got out of the house.γ
But in his bones, he still likes this world created by the creator, or beautiful, or hot, or full of unknown adventures.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of the world created by the creator that Mo Wangqiu can easily get in touch with some unprecedented touches, that year, he cried for the death of "Naruto" Jiraiya; That year, he was enthusiastic about "One Piece" Luffy stepping on the top to compete for supremacy; That year, he applauded Ichigo Kurosaki for defeating Aizen with the last crescent moon in "Bleach Tencho"; Similarly, that year, he was worried about Nagisa Furukawa and Shio Okazaki in "CLANNAD"; He longs for the friendship bond of "Slam Dunk" and longs for an unusual love like "Dragon and Tiger".
So after Makoto Shinkai's new work "Your Name" was released in China, he watched it six or seven times in the midst of other people's uninterrupted doubts.
He wasn't affected by those marketing methods, he just liked it, he just wanted to go.
I just want to get in touch with this fantasy world again.
Before the crossing, Mo Wangqiu saw Okada Dousifu, known as the "god of otaku", pointed out more than once that "otaku is dead", not only talking about the crooked path that the industry is constantly moving towards because of commercialization, but also Japan's prejudice against otaku, which confuses people who have a strong preference for a certain interest in a broad sense and even invest most of their time with people who like anime and games, and will also add labels such as dark personality and lack of sociality.
Is this really fair?
No, the answer is no!
Because the otaku is not just a gnawing old clan who eats and waits for death, nor is it a dark personality and a lack of social weakness.
It's like Sun Ze, whom Mo Wangqiu met before he crossed over, was a dead house in the real sense, and the room was full of all kinds of two-dimensional figures. But that guy usually looks like a big grin, although he is a little introverted, but he is an IT master who relies on his own skills to eat and drink, how can he be involved with words like dark personality and lack of sociality?
Mo Wangqiu firmly believes that even the much-criticized imperial mansion has a shining point.
That is the spirit of forgetting to sleep and eat for the things you love.
That is the hard work of not being affected by the eyes around you, and working hard to specialize.
That is the courage to endure loneliness and move forward alone.
It's the resilience to persevere and never give up easily.
This is probably the real otaku spirit, and the real "otaku spirit"!
At least, that's what Mo Wangqiu is pursuing.
