Chapter 399: Worldview
The story to be told in the first episode is still very long.
The price of a single episode of "Demon Hunting Notes" is not low, but again, it is quite worthy of the price.
An episode is cut off from the beginning and end, and it is also a full hour long. And the level of production, to be honest, many praised domestic animated films, the works shown in theaters, are not as strong as "Demon Hunting Notes".
In fact, if Dimension Entertainment wants to, then they can use the level of Pixar animation to make ten episodes of animated feature films. But the cost of that is too high, even if there is a dimensional system, the calculation time of the whole picture will be dragged too long.
At the current level, it is enough. It can even be said that for serial animation, the production quality level of "Demon Hunting Notes" is too superb.
The follow-up story is probably that the young Sue has been raising young children by working as a coolie in the past few years; Later, when the mine was closed, old Hans showed him a way to get pure food and water by hunting some wild monsters, which was also dangerous, but Sue did it anyway, and did it.
It's been several years, condensed into about ten minutes.
Later, the baby grew up a little and became a little girl. They used to rely on a large leech to get clean water from it. But after the leech died, the two who depended on each other could only change places and move to a nearby town to live.
However, on the first day of my visit, I encountered a bad situation. Su was targeted, and the traffickers tried to snatch the baby from him by diverting the tiger from the mountain and setting up an ambush.
A child with no mutation and fair skin is an extremely valuable commodity in this era.
Su Kill returned to the hotel where they had been staying temporarily, and before they could enter the door, they heard the little girl's sobs. As soon as the door opened, the little girl did nothing but sit on the floor in the middle of the inn hall and wept. With her as the center, the surrounding area is very bloody, more than a dozen adults died in a very miserable appearance, and the picture is slightly bloody.
The little girl sat in the middle of a hell of flesh and blood.
Although it is not explicitly stated, the composition centered on the little girl, the contrast between the cleanliness in the middle and the surrounding gore, and the bone cleaver that the little girl holds in her hand are almost higher than hers, which is a metaphor for the little girl who should have done this.
She has a special power.
And that's exactly what happened.
When the crying little girl, when she saw Sue, she burst into tears and laughed, and ran into his arms regardless of the filth.
Outside the hotel, there was a sudden noise of people, and someone shouted: "The outsider has killed someone!" The butcher is dead! I see they're still inside! ”
The crowd shouted louder and louder, and the sound of metal striking could be heard at all times.
Not to mention, dozens of people surrounded the four-room hotel.
The sheriff of the town kicked open the door of the inn. He raised the submachine gun in his hand, pulled the bolt, and aimed it at the two children.
"Get out of here!"
With a sudden sound, a hand wearing dark black leather gloves was inserted into the thin iron sheet that was used as a wall, and when he held and pulled, the entire iron sheet was torn off by him and thrown more than ten meters away.
It was a tall, handsome, arrogant, and cold young man, with short blond hair standing on end like a burning flame. He wore a half-body armor made of silver-gray alloy to protect vital parts such as the chest, back of the heart, and lower abdomen. Beneath the armor was a dark black uniform with dark gold stripes, and the long leather boots on his feet were polished and shiny, out of place with the dirt around them.
Behind the blonde samurai, behind the walls of the original inn, a four-horse carriage resembling the 18th century of the old era was parked, with its ancient and elegant body in black and gold, and its sparkling brass headlights. It was driven by four tall horses, and it was rare that all four horses had the same snow-white fur, without a trace of variegation.
In front of and behind the carriage stood eight heavily armed samurai, wearing alloy armor identical to that of the blond youth. The difference was that the blonde youth was empty-handed, while the sixteen samurai were armed with heavy firepower. Compared to the four heavy machine guns, the submachine gun in the sergeant's hand was simply a toy.
At this point, the background music of the story changes.
Four attendants in black tuxedos, snow-white shirts, and neatly ironed bow ties rolled out a scarlet carpet.
Just this flamboyant, well-made carpet is worth no idea how much it is worth in this day and age. But the attendants did not feel distressed at all, and regardless of how dirty the blood and mud were on the ground, they directly spread out the carpet one by one, from the side of the carriage to the inn.
Then, out of the carriage came a woman dressed in the costumes of an old-time medieval court.
As soon as the woman got out of the carriage, the residents of Yorkston Town suddenly forgot about their neighbor who had been shot and was still lying at their feet. Most of the people here have never seen a woman with smooth skin in their lives, let alone the old-fashioned dresses and jewels that would make the eyes of the ladies of the old age reddened with jealousy.
Almost everything around this woman is so out of place in this era, extravagant beyond the reach of people's imagination.
Just when people's emotions were about to get out of control, a guard suddenly raised his gun, and the muzzle of the gun suddenly erupted with a blazing stream of fire, and in the torrential rain of gunfire, hundreds of bullets easily tore apart the ones that stood in front of them, cutting an abrupt hole in the crowded human wall!
It wasn't until the entire chain of bullets was wiped out that the guards lowered the already hot heavy machine gun, and there was no expression on Mu Ran's face, as if he had just shot not dozens of people, but just livestock.
The honorable woman did not glance at the scene of the massacre, and from the moment she got out of the carriage, she had her eyes on the girl. She gracefully raised her hand and pointed at the girl with her black and red fingertips, saying, "I want this girl." ”
Later, she had a conversation with Sue and eventually took the little girl away.
Su knew that she couldn't resist, but she remembered the identity of this woman who was revealed at the end.
She claims to be the Spider Empress of the Blood Council and is called Angelina. Fragrance. Lana Xhis.
So far, the first episode of the anime has passed about half of the content. And at this point, the entire prologue of the original book has been told.
It seems that the pace is slow, and the content of more than half of the episode does not enter the theme, but in fact, the amount of information is very sufficient, which plays a very important role in initially giving the viewer and establishing the world view of "Demon Hunting Notes".
And the second half of the episode is to push the timeline to the story of Su's adulthood in a blink of an eye.
Tall and slender, Sue, dressed in a black robe, stood on a high point, holding a somewhat rough but very designed sniper rifle, sniping in the distance, surrounding a group of hunters' mutated giant wolves.
