"I'm back!"

Ichiro Matsuura returned home, put his shoes in the hallway, and trotted into the house.

"Okay, then you go wash your hands, there's a small cake you just bought in the refrigerator, and Dad can eat when he comes back."

Mom's voice came from the kitchen.

"Wow! I have cake to eat, so happy! ”

Ichiro Matsuura happily opened the refrigerator door, and sure enough, he saw a beautifully packaged small cake with a matcha flavor, and he couldn't wait to take it out.

This cake is not cheap at first glance, it is estimated to cost 2,000 yuan, right?

With this in mind, Matsuura cleaned up the coffee table, then put the cake on the table and turned on the TV to taste it.

……

Ichiro Matsuura, 14 years old, is now a junior high school student, and ends school at 4 p.m. on time every day, and he doesn't have any special hobbies.

Reluctantly dragged to join the shogi club, and during this time, he developed a strong interest in some ancient history.

However, there will be no activities in the club this afternoon.

It is not so much that there are no activities, but that the head of the club asks everyone to go home and watch TV.

Because there will be two anime films on TV Tokyo this afternoon, the first is "The Tale of the First Sakura War" produced by Sunrise Animation, which is also called Sunrise Animation, although there are a lot of adaptations of history, but it can still give people an understanding of the events and characters that happened during the Warring States period.

The other is "Onmyoji" produced by Kyoto Animation

It is said to be based on the game, and Matsuura himself is not old enough to buy a cassette for Onmyoji, but I heard that the plot is quite good.

In short, he is quite looking forward to these two cartoons.

At 5 o'clock, TEPCO officially started to play "The First Sakura War"

In the picture, cherry blossoms fly, swords collide, lightning and thunder......

The theme song sounded, and many characters appeared in the picture one after another, including the male protagonist, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi......

Even if I don't know the general direction of the plot yet, seeing the bloody battle scenes, Matsuura can probably guess what kind of anime it should be.

After the theme song ends, the animation officially begins.

In the picture, there is a kendo hall.

The two teenagers attacked each other with a face cui and a kendo uniform.

The bamboo sword rattled.

"Noodles!"

The bamboo sword slashed down, and another teenager followed with a sword, and the two bamboo swords were staggered together.

"Noodles!"

"Noodles!"

The offensive of both sides was quite ferocious, and they did not back down at all, their feet kept moving on the ground, and the battle situation was extremely anxious.

It can be seen that the swordsmanship of the two teenagers is very exquisite.

Between advancing and retreating, one of the teenagers was unsteady when he stepped back, and was found by the other party with a flaw, followed by a bamboo sword slashing an electric light in the air.

"Noodles!"

Syllable!

Hit the mask hard.

The two men fell to the ground, and then the guy who was hit in the head lay on the ground and let out a sigh.

"It's me who loses."

After taking off the mask, two delicate faces were revealed.

One of them has a short hairstyle, a hedgehog head and heavy bangs, and a round face, which you can tell at a glance that it is the male lead.

The other has slightly longer hair and thin cheeks, which are softer in comparison.

In the 90s, the male protagonists of neon cartoons were basically the same, with round faces, big eyes, and short hair, in order to reflect perseverance and kindness, so that the audience could feel the blood of teenagers in them.

Correspondingly, the handsome guy with triangular eyes like a fox often plays the role of the second male lead in TV animations.

(Yes, we're not talking about Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede.) ）

Sure enough, the round-faced man is the male protagonist, his name is Sanada Ippei, and the other handsome man with a soft face is called Yasuya Kiyoshi.

The two have been good friends since childhood, studied in the same school, and joined the kendo club together, and have been learning kendo together for some time.

It's quite similar to Ichiro Matsuura, except that he doesn't have such a high level of skill as in the anime.

After a fierce fight, the two of them were covered with sweat on their foreheads, and they sat at the door of the kendo hall with tea and looked at the sky outside with burning clouds.

It's still March, and the cherry blossoms outside are in full bloom, fluttering in like snowflakes.

The two chatted with each other and talked about their favorite Warring States characters.

"Of course it's Oda Nobunaga!" Yiping laughed, "The Sixth Heavenly Demon King, if he hadn't died in the Honnoji Temple, he would have been the one who unified the world, and there would be no monkeys in the back." ”

The other boy smiled softly, "I like it...... I guess it's a monkey. ”

"Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to go from the bottom, an insignificant little person step by step to the first person in the world, and I really admire his perseverance and courage."

"For someone like me, I probably never like him."

Yasuya looked down at his palm.

The light of dusk converges in the palm of your hand, and the surrounding light is soft, although it is golden and spring, it always gives people a feeling close to autumn.

Seeing this, Matsuura couldn't help but be envious.

How happy it is to have such good friends in life.

"Hey, Ippei." The long-haired male number two looked up.

"Huh?"

"No matter what happens in the future, we will be best friends."

"Hmm." Ichihei nodded earnestly.

At this moment, the eyes of the two people suddenly changed-

The surrounding light also changed, from dusk to brighter, but this brightness came from a more vivid red.

Because there was a raging fire in the kendo hall.

The firelight lit up the night sky and turned the whole world red.

The two of them hurriedly walked towards the gate, but they never thought that the gate was actually locked.

The cherry blossoms were burned by the flames and scattered in the courtyard, and the lawn was full of sparks.

"No! Be sure to get out! ”

The two men hurried to find something, trying to knock the door open.

In the process, the long-haired male number two hand was burned with a large scar.

Ippei desperately slammed into the gate of the courtyard with all his might.

Bang!

The actor used too much force, and when he slammed open the gate of the courtyard, his body also rolled out.

As the camera moved, everything around him changed when he stood up.

The fire is blazing.

There were terrible shouts of slaughter and the crackling sound of wood burning all around.

Ruins and broken walls, and various swords intersect.

Mars flew all over the sky, like the petals of cherry blossoms.

The camera pulls away, and the male protagonist is no longer in the original modern kendo hall, but in the courtyard of a temple.

"Wise Mitsuhide!"

"It's the army of wise Mitsuhide!"

"Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed Oda-sama!!"

"Huh? This is...... What happened? ”

……

This is......

Ichiro Matsuura immediately became alert, sat up straight, watched the cartoon playing on the TV, his lips moved, and he said to himself-

The change of Honnoji.

In the early morning of June 2, 1582, Oda Nobunaga's right-hand man, Akechi Mitsuhide, rebelled in Kyoto's Honnoji Temple and killed his lord, Nobunaga.

Neon history has been rewritten.

This event is known as –

The change of Honnoji.

The male protagonist crossed.

From the neon in 1990, it traveled to the Honnoji Temple in 1582 and witnessed history.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga had been surrounded by Akechi Mitsuhide, and his subordinates were killed and wounded heavily, and seeing that there was no hope of escape, he committed suicide by seppuku.

And when the protagonist appears, Nobunaga has already died.

However, when the two finally met, and when they looked at each other, Nobunaga's eyes showed unwillingness and shock.

At this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the top of the Honnoji Temple.

The sky outside was cut through and illuminated in the daylight.

Oda Nobunaga asked the actor to break through with Mori Ranmaru and not die here.

After dying, he handed the saber he was carrying with him to the hero.

So a fugitive journey to Shiba Yu Hideyoshi officially began.

The two of them broke through from a part of the broken wall, and finally crossed the river, but they met Yasuda as a soldier's guard under the command of Akechi Mitsuhide.

Just when the two of them were at the end of their rope and were about to die here, a shadow suddenly appeared behind the actor-

The soul of the demon king Oda Nobunaga on the sixth day, holding the hero's hand with both hands, and the soul coincides with it.

Immediately after, the male protagonist's eyes opened.

The astonishing terrifying momentum surged out in an instant, like a fierce tiger.

The surrounding enemies all looked at each other and retreated in shock.

Seeing this, Matsuura Ichiro only felt his blood boiling.

……

But at this point, the first episode is over, and the ending song also sounds.

Yes!

Damn it!

It's actually broken in such a place!

Ichiro Matsuura squinted his eyes, only feeling an itch in his heart.

I can't see enough, I can't see enough.

I have to say,Sunrise is really an expert in making mecha and hot-blooded animation.,The first episode is down.,The action is hearty.,And the story line is very full.,The conflicts and contradictions between the characters are very sharp.。

And in the end, staying on the line of life and death, the place where the counterattack is about to be counterattacked, is really uncomfortable.

……

After a while, his father, Mitsuhiro Matsuura, also returned home.

When I entered the door, I took off my shoes and took a look, and found that my son was watching a cartoon.

"Ichiro, why do you watch cartoons as soon as you get home? Are there no activities in your club? ”

"Well, there are no activities scheduled by the club today, and I don't watch cartoons every day." Ichiro Matsuura retorted, "Today's anime is very interesting and can help us learn." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? ”

Mitsuyo Matsuura was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the mother in the kitchen trotted out to greet her, wiping her hands and saying, "Honey, go wash your hands first." ”

"It's time to eat."

……

At the same time, Pokeni Co., Ltd.

"Ah~" Chikawa Hiroichi clutched his chest and let out a sigh.

"Sunrise Animation is also doing a fantastic job, right?"

"This opening plot is more attractive than I imagined, and it's too unpersonal to be in this kind of place, right?"

"If you want to defeat Yasuda as a soldier, you'll have to wait until next week."

Hearing his words, the little HR blinked his eyes and signaled him.

Chikawa, don't you want to live?

Don't you know that Sunrise Animation's "First Sakura Senta" and our family's investment in "Onmyoji" collided?

If you boast about the rise of the sun like this, if the onmyoji's grades are not good later, then won't you be scolded by the president?

However, she turned her head and looked at Qing Zhiyuan's expression next to her, wanting to understand this person's inner thoughts.

saw Qing Zhiyuan sitting in place, with an indifferent look on his face.

There was even a vague smile on the corner of his mouth.

How can you laugh?!

The little HR only felt that the president's brain was really broken.

"Well, that's a good job." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "That's what you want, I hope that Sunrise Animation's "First Sakura War" will be as popular as possible, and the higher the ratings, the better." ”

Ha?!

Is the president really stupid?

"Where can you cheer on your competitors, president!"

"Well, you don't understand that, do you?" Chikawa gently poked Xiao HR's shoulder with his hand and chuckled, "This shows that we are doing better, and the president is obviously more confident in Kyoto Animation's "Onmyoji".

If Sunrise doesn't do a good job, how can it be worthy of being our opponent?

Right, President? ”

"Hmm...... Qing Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, "Not really. ”

"Huh?!" This time it was Chikawa's turn to be dumbfounded.

……

Meanwhile.

The atmosphere here in KyoAni is unusually solemn.

This time, the "Onmyoji" superintendent Kigami Masaharu swallowed silently.

I just felt that my heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out.

After watching "The Tale of the First Sakura War" on the side of Sunrise Animation, his face was unusually solemn.

The company is in a small apartment rented by the president, and the lights are not very bright, but they are definitely not dark, but at this time, Kigami Masaharu is pale.

It's like being shrouded in shadows.

"Sunrise Animation is a veteran company, from storyboards to scripts, to LOs, and now to the finished animation products, they are all a notch higher than us." Kigami said.

The others looked solemn and did not speak.

President Hideaki Hatta didn't feel very good in his heart.

But what Kigami said is also a bit too much, at least from the perspective of the storyboard, the storyboard made by Kigami is still of a top-level level.

It's just that......

In other respects, there is a real gap in strength.

"It's useless to think so much, we still have a chance, do a good job in the rest of the content, and there is still a chance."

"Hmm." Everyone nodded.

Since they were [motivated] by Qing Zhiyuan last time, they are actually more calm in their hearts now.

As the president said, Kyoto Animation's opponent has always been himself.

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening, "Onmyoji" officially started.

After eating, Ichiro Matsuura sat back down in front of the TV.

The father, Mitsuhiro Matsuura, looked surprised, and really wanted to slap this son on the back of the head, "Have you finished your homework and started watching TV?" ”

"I'm done with my homework, and watching TV is my homework."

Ichiro Matsuura's eyes didn't roll.

Neon's schoolwork is not as heavy as in China, with little homework from elementary school to junior high school.

So hearing his words, Mitsuhiro Matsuura could only turn a blind eye.

"It's my turn after watching this animation." Mitsuhiro Matsuura looked at his watch, and there will be "Intimate Lover" later.

"Okay." Ichiro Matsuura nodded.

I think this father is really annoying.

……

The opening song of Onmyoji is quite beautiful, and a lot of funds are spent here, whether it is the character modeling, the special effects, plus the music melody and the sweet and gentle voice of the lead singer, all of which will substitute the audience into that antique but romantic era.

After the OP ends, the anime officially begins.

In the vast snow, a young man carried a heavy bamboo basket on his back and walked forward with difficulty.

But even in such a cold weather, the corners of the boy's mouth were full of smiles.

"Asakura, can you buy so many things?" The uncle in town asked with a smile.

"Well, these are all needed by the guests of the hot spring inn, and if the service is not good, they will be scolded."

The protagonist's name is Asakura Yuan, who is the male protagonist of the same name in the game "Onmyoji", who lives in an era where a person coexists with youkai and survives by opening a hot spring inn with his aunt.

However, his real dream is to become an out-and-out onmyoji.

After walking for a while, a group of people wearing high hats appeared on the hill ahead.

Asakura couldn't help but chase after him excitedly.

Sure enough, it's the onmyoji from Kyoto.

After saying hello.

"It's not been peaceful in the village lately, boy, you'd better not go out."

"Huh? Why? "Asakura is far from understanding.

The long-bearded Onmyoji at the head raised a hand and pointed to the forest in the distance.

"See where?"

A sika deer walks in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There was a black hole in its torso, but not a drop of blood could escape.

The deer's eyes shimmered red.

"That sika deer was bitten by the ghost clan, and now it has become a monster.

Of course, the same is true for humans. We've got to find the ghost, or this village will be destroyed sooner or later. ”

After speaking, one of the onmyoji raised a bow, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow sank into the deer's body.

Then a blue flame danced from the wound, and in an instant it burned to ashes.

Only a blue arc of light in the snow remained.

……

……

In the process of walking back, Asakura Yuan saw a long bloodstain at the door of the hotel, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Sure enough, when he walked into the hotel and pushed open the door, he found that many people had died.

Oniyahime came out of the back of the house, tilted her head, and looked at Asakura Yuan with a smile.

She licked her tongue.

"Next, it's up to you."

"Ahh

The camera zooms out, and screams are heard in the hotel.

……

The onmyoji arrived in time, which saved the hero's life.

For this reason, he also learned some simple yin-yang techniques.

But in this case, the aunt was seriously injured and her life was on the verge of death.

The onmyoji felt that she would not live long, so they comforted the actor a few words, asked him to bury his relatives properly, and continued to rush to the next place.

Just when the male protagonist was extremely desperate, a strange-looking man appeared behind him.

He took Asakura Yuan's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "If you want to save your aunt, you have to go to the fairy island, where there is a fairy, and her elixir can bring the dead back to life." ”

Hearing his words, Asakura Yuan was stunned, and then rekindled his hope and resolutely embarked on the journey to Xianling Island.
