Chapter 149 "Anohana"! Healing or Depression? (

Chapter 149 "Unknown Flower"! Healing or Depressing? (superior)

As soon as "Unheard Flower Name" was released on major video platforms, many long-awaited anime fans couldn't wait to click on the first episode and enjoy it!

"First!"

"First!"

"Support Lin Qiu! Support the old thief! Qiu thief, up!"

"This old thief book fan is here for a visit!"

Yuan Xi looked at the computer screen and saw many barrages floating on the top of the screen.

"Let's see what happens!"

Yuan Xi looked expectant, and then he started eating potato chips while curiously watching this new anime.

At the beginning of the story of "Unknown Flower Name", the male protagonist Renta appears at his summer home, playing video games with a popsicle stick in his mouth.

Cicadas were screaming outside the house, and the summer atmosphere was strong, which perfectly matched the summer theme of the August broadcast.

As an old animation fan, Yuan Xi knew from the opening scene of "The Name of the Flower" that the quality of this animation is definitely not simple!

"This picture!"

"Ouch!"

"Can Xiazhou Animation also produce such awesome pictures?"

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

You must know that in the Xiazhou animation industry, there has almost never been 2D animation of such high quality, but there is 3D animation.

Regardless of the plot, the outstanding graphics of "Unheard Flower Names" alone are enough to compete with the high-quality animations in Yingzhou.

It seems that Chang'an Film and Television Company's high investment has something to it, at least it is not wasted, or deceiving the audience and cutting leeks.

Next, we have to see whether the story of "Unknown Flowers" can support this scene.

Just as Yuan Xi was thinking this, the next moment, the heroine Meiko appeared on the stage barefoot and free.

She constantly surrounds the male protagonist Renta, looking like Renta's younger sister.

She has fair skin, petite stature, and innocent speech.

This kind of image setting is very classic in animation stories, and Yuan Xi is not surprised. However, at first glance, Yuan Xi doesn't particularly like this animation image, and it doesn't feel cute enough.

"Classic brother and sister?"

Yuan Xi murmured, but before his guess came to fruition, the next plot made Yuan Xi freeze in place.

I even stuffed the potato chips into my mouth and forgot to chew them!

Just when Meiko was playing around with Hita innocently, in the reflection of the mirror on the cabinet, only Hita's figure appeared!

"Fuck!"

Yuan Xi has a strong sense of observation and immediately felt that the story might not be that simple.

Sure enough, as Yuan Xi expected, Renta's father could not see Meako's existence at all!

This is an……

ghost! !

…

"I'm a fool!"

"Where's the healing anime you promised? Don't do these scary things!"

"Ghost heroine? Interesting!"

"If we follow the style of Lao Zei's novel, I'm afraid Meiko is at high risk. I just don't know if Lao Zei will change her gender."

"I don't believe that Lao Zei will change his gender even if the sky falls, but I didn't expect Lao Zei's original comics to be so good."

On the barrage, many discussions about the plot quickly passed by.

The screen flashed and suddenly returned to childhood time, showing Jinta and Meiko when they were young, as well as several childhood playmates from the "Super Peace Busters".

It can be clearly seen that the Meiko in memory is the Meiko in real life, but she has grown up a bit.

This time, even the slowest audience members are aware of the character's setting!

Meiko is a ghost!

"I'm sick. It seems I'm under too much mental stress."

"Psychological trauma, eh..."

Renta shook his head. Although he was always surrounded by Meiko, he didn't believe that the Meiko he saw was a ghost.

It's a hallucination after trauma.

This "soft science fiction" and "semi-metaphysical" character setting immediately struck many anime fans as novel and attracted their attention.

The plot of the first episode is very simple.

It is because the heroine Meiko, who died accidentally in childhood, has remained in the world and by the side of the hero Jinta because her wish was not fulfilled.

Then I introduced the situation of the male and female protagonists and several childhood friends.

The people of Xiazhou are so familiar and familiar with this setting that the obsession has not disappeared and the soul remains in the world.

Because throughout the ages, countless storybooks have similar plots.

But in anime, it's really rare.

At first, Renta thought this was all a hallucination caused by psychological trauma after Meizi's accidental death.

But a series of physical feedback and experiences later made Renta confirm that Meiko's obsession was still unresolved and her wishes were not fulfilled.

And this wish is most likely a wish that requires all childhood friends to fulfill together!

But the childhood playmate gradually drifted away after Meako's death.

…

"How did Meiko die?"

Yuan Xi was deeply attracted by the plot.

Obviously "Unknown Flower Name" is a healing anime from the perspective of the screen plot, although there are no ups and downs or ups and downs in the setting.

However, the exquisite production and interesting settings quickly attracted Yuan Xi, who has read countless stories.

Not to mention the ordinary campus dramas, passionate dramas, and even the domestic drama Yuan Xi has finished watching it.

In the second half of the first episode of "Anohana", the childhood memories of Jinta, Meiko and several friends emerged.

It turns out that Jinta and his group of six were best friends in their childhood.

Until one day, Jinta was suddenly asked such a question by An Ming, a girl who had a crush on him:

"Jinta, do you like Meiko?"

Boys and girls in their childhood are very thin-skinned.

Upon hearing such words, both Jinta and Meiko's faces turned red. Even if they liked each other, they could not admit it in public.

Coupled with the teasing of several friends, Jinta was embarrassed and said something that made him regret his whole life. It was also the last sentence Jinta said to Meiko:

"Who would like such an ugly thing!"

After saying this, he looked back and saw Meiko's forced smile, and Jinta ran back home in shame.

I thought I would apologize to Meiko tomorrow, but who knew that this farewell would become a farewell forever.

"I can never come back again."

When seeing Meiko return home and see her old age and haggard parents burning incense for her, these anime fans all felt a little sad.

Family love is always the most murderous knife.

The death of any child is a huge disaster for their parents and a dampness in their lives.

The six-member group, who were originally childhood friends, completely fell apart after Meiko's accidental death.

At the end of the first episode, under the background music of "Secret Base ~ What You Give ~", the remaining six members of the group were shown.

Although they seemed careless on the surface, in fact, like Jinta, they were also deeply traumatized by Meiko's death and never healed.

……

After the first episode was played, Yuan Xi looked at the list of production staff and came to his senses and took a deep breath.

"Xiazhou can actually have such a high-quality animation!"

"Those who say Chang'an animation is not good are all pig noses!"

"If it's not good, then what animation is good?"

Yuan Xi picked up the Coke at hand and drank it all!

It felt like a warrior drinking a glass of wine before leaving!

He then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the animation forum to fight against those haters of Lin Qiu and Chang'an!

Damn, it's okay to blacken others, but who can blacken Chang'an Film and Television Company, a super conscientious company in the entertainment industry?

Yuan Xi rushed to the animation forum as soon as "Anohana" was broadcast.

In fact, Yuan Xi didn't need to do much. Once the excellent work was released, it would naturally reverse all public opinions.

In just half an hour, the animation forum felt like Chang'an was unified because of the broadcast of "Anohana"!

[Black fans speak! Speak! Speak louder, I can't hear you! ]

[The graphics of "Anohana" are really awesome. The quality of the graphics is not inferior to that of the big animation companies in Yingzhou! ]

[Don't be impatient, this is only the first episode, there is no content at all, even if you want to shout, you should wait until the end of the broadcast, right? ]

[I'm shouting NMLGB, my face is swollen and I'm still barking! Lao Zei's original comics plus Lin Qiu's production, how can the plot be bad? ]

[Hahaha, it's still capital! If it weren't for capital like Chang'an that has set its eyes on the anime cake, would you have such an awesome anime to watch? ]

…

Looking at the overwhelming water on the forum, Yuan Xi nodded with satisfaction.

Whether a short anime is good or not, old anime fans will know it after watching one or two episodes, provided that the plot is not broken.

But the key is Lao Zei and Lin Qiu, they are the "powers" of the two major entertainment industries in Xiazhou.

One is a "power" in movies, and the other is a "power" in novels. Both of them have top-notch plot abilities, and Lao Zei may be a little worse.

With the strong combination, the anime fans naturally don't believe that the plot will collapse later.

In addition, the OST, which was probably the weakest link in Xiazhou, was perfectly supplemented by Lin Qiu.

At present, "Anohana" does not seem to have any obvious shortcomings!

Now on major forums, there are water armies that specialize in blacking Changan Film and Television Company, whether it is the release of film and television dramas or animations, but this Changan Film and Television Company is really too tough.

Every work produced is very hard!

Instantly shut up many black fans!

...

The animation industry, especially the animation industry in Xiazhou, is actually not a big circle.

As long as the quality of the animation is good enough, it will be spread by word of mouth in the entire animation community, and the popularity will soar.

Even a lot of publicity costs are saved.

Why does this happen? It is because the production of animation itself is difficult, the production cycle is long, and it does not cost much money to watch.

Therefore, the animation produced every month cannot actually meet the needs of anime fans.

For example, anime fans will watch all the August series, unlike the film industry.

So in the animation industry, good wine really needs no bush.

As long as it is good enough, it will always be discovered and recommended by thousands of animation fans.

However, the animation companies in the industry are looking at each other at this moment, not knowing what to do next.

If Changan Animation creates a market for 2D animation, should they do more?

Shortly after "Anohana" was launched, Lin Qiu and Lao Zei promoted it on their blogs.

Coupled with the promotion of Changan Film and Television Company and blogs, the hot search of "Anohana" instantly rushed to the top of the hot search!

Nowadays, young people, even those who are not usually anime fans, are still very receptive to anime.

In addition to good anime, you still have to watch it, so there must be some publicity, just to let more netizens see this anime.

Sure enough, as soon as this bought hot search went online, there were a lot of discussions!

[Xiazhou has a good anime? Zundu fake du? ]

[Go and watch it! Lin Qiu + Lao Zei + Changan, a strong combination, I just finished watching it, it's so beautiful, I can't wait to watch the second episode tomorrow! ]

[I haven't watched it yet, I plan to watch it when I get home. Is it really good? ]

[It's really awesome. As expected, capital has entered the anime market. It's really different when you have money. Go and support it. Xiazhou Anime finally has hope! ]

[It's actually a 2D anime? I have to support it for Lin Qiu. ]

...

Different from movies

The fermentation, spread, and presentation of the reputation of animation are quite fast.

After all, movie fans have to spend real money to support movies, but animation is different.

Whether it is good or not, you can know it by watching it yourself?

Changan Film and Television Company's entry into the animation industry is considered a gamble by industry insiders.

Because Xiazhou Animation's monetization ability is not particularly strong.

Otherwise, they would not give up 2D animation to switch to 3D animation with lower costs in order to avoid risks.

In the current animation environment, unless you can make extremely excellent 2D animation, there are too few ways out, even big advertisers are too lazy to look at it.

Many comics hope to commercialize through increasing popularity, using free high traffic, and then licensing IP to film, television and games.

But in fact, the market progress of comic-adapted film and television, comic-adapted games is far from as fast as imagined.

Therefore, when Changan Animation Department was about to be established, Lin Qiu's parents were not particularly optimistic at the beginning.

If Lin Qiu himself did not have the system and many excellent animations with at least 9 points in his previous life, he would not want to set foot in this industry.

The animation industry, at least in Xiazhou, is difficult to break this shackle in a short time.

…

The entire Xiazhou animation forum, with the broadcast of "Anohana", is almost full of related posts.

From the second episode, the number of viewers of "Anohana" has increased like a rocket, and officially entered the main plot.

The audience also gradually understood what kind of story this animation tells.

To put it simply, Jinta's childhood playmates, friends who "lost" after growing up, for various reasons, returned to Jinta one after another, and accompanied Jinta to fulfill those seemingly childish wishes of Meiko.

The first to join the "realize Meiko's wishes" team is the honest Bobo!

Bobo, who used to be weak, but is now the strongest, actually believed in the existence of Meiko's soul after hearing the description of the male protagonist.

In order to realize Meiko's wish!

He and Jinta played childish video games together and collected pets from childhood video games.

It was during this process that the other friends gradually came into contact and joined in.

The second one was An Ming.

An Ming should be the most guilty of Meiko's death among all people.

It was because she had a crush on Jinta that she had some tricks in public and asked Jinta whether he liked Meiko or not!

That directly led to Jinta saying such a thing.

It eventually led to Meiko's accidental death!

These years, every time he lay in bed, An Ming couldn't help but think of Meiko and everything he had destroyed.

And Axue and Tsuruko actually had their own personal reasons, and they gradually became estranged in these years.

…

At the end of August, during the period when Yingzhou Anime had not been updated, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" undoubtedly became the only spiritual food for Xiazhou anime fans!

What's more, this is the last week of the summer vacation, which makes anime fans look forward to it.

At the same time, the anime forum in Yingzhou also gradually began to post about the Xiazhou anime "Anohana", which gained considerable popularity!

[I recommend you an anime from Xiazhou! "Anohana"! ]

[Anime produced by Lin Qiu, Na-san likes Lin Qiu's movies very much! ]

[Xiazhou has very high-quality anime! ]

Anime fans in Yingzhou are not as arrogant as fans in Kyushu, mainly because Xiazhou movies themselves are difficult to go to Kyushu, while Xiazhou anime still has a certain audience in Yingzhou.

For example, Xiazhou's popular ink painting anime "Da Tang" is quite popular in Yingzhou.

Yingzhou anime fans have watched 2D anime since childhood, and they will be attracted to anime of different styles. A 2D healing anime like Lin Qiu has never appeared in Xiazhou.

At first, both Xiazhou anime fans and Yingzhou anime fans focused on Meiko's ghost identity.

After all, this setting is really uncommon in anime.

But after a few episodes of the anime, the audience in Xiazhou were the first to realize something was wrong!

[Oh my god? Why does it feel like another tear-jerking anime? ]

[Hachiko hasn't harvested enough tears from you guys? Here you go! Here you go! Here you go! ]

[Old thief and Lin Qiu, I guess there won't be a good ending in the end? ]

[Don't worry, I've got the knife in my hand! If I can't cut the old thief, I can't cut Lin Qiu! ]

"Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" continues to move along the line of fulfilling Meiko's wish.

Anime fans of the second dimension are sentimental. Whenever they see the plot in "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" or some subtle expressions of the characters, coupled with the sad OST, they can't hide their sad emotions.

…

Yuan Xi would stay in front of the computer on time before 8 o'clock every night, waiting for the update of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day".

Obviously, the plot of the past few days has completely substituted him.

"What is Meiko's wish?"

"Will it be to set off fireworks?"

Yuan Xi murmured.

In the previous episodes, the childhood friends gathered around Jinta and searched for Meiko's wish together.

From Meiko's diary, it is known that Meiko's wish is likely to set off rocket fireworks.

But in this process, except for Bobo, the rest of the people, Anming, Axue, and Hezi, didn't want to mess around with Jinta anymore!

They gathered together again because of guilt, or because of missing, or because of various personal factors, but it doesn't mean that everyone believes that Meiko's soul really exists in this world.

Until...

While everyone was arguing, Meiko's diary suddenly fell to the ground, proving her existence!

At this moment, Yuan Xi's whole body trembled suddenly.

It was from this moment that all anime fans felt the throbbing from the soul!

The relationship between everyone was changing subtly, and several people had their own selfish desires, waiting for the day when Meiko's wish would come true.

The day before the rocket fireworks were set off, everyone gathered in a secret base and recreated the scene in their childhood.

And this time, Jinta finally gave his answer to the question of whether he liked Meiko:

"I like it."

...

The overall plot of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" is quite simple.

In childhood, Meiko died in an accident and could only be seen by Jinta, one of the six. Through the connection of this lovely and kind soul, Jinta gathered his childhood playmates.

While fulfilling all of Meiko's wishes, the story of regaining the friendship between the six people.

But such a simple story can constantly touch the hearts of the audience and move them.

Coupled with Lin Qiu's nearly perfect OST soundtrack, the previous eleven episodes gradually laid the foundation for the audience's emotions.

At the end of the eleventh episode, everyone was in a complicated mood. When they saw the rocket fireworks they made fly into the sky, Jinta suddenly panicked!

At the same time, the audience was also panicked!

Whoosh——

With a "pop", the rocket fireworks made by everyone jumped into the dusk sky and exploded.

It was like a colorful and gorgeous light band opened in the sky and dissipated in all directions.

When those colorful light bands swayed and fell from the sky, they were like long flowing Manjusha under the clouds, which was beautiful.

This scene was done beautifully by Changan Animation.

"It's so beautiful."

"It's really so beautiful!"

...

"Meiko, will you disappear?"

When the ending song of the eleventh episode sounded, the highly anticipated "Anohana" had only the last episode left in a blink of an eye!

At the same time, the emotions of all anime fans were completely ignited, and they couldn't wait to see the finale tomorrow!

Even if it costs 20 yuan to watch it in advance, it's fine!

But in today's entertainment industry, there are very few entertainment works that are so ugly. If you want to do some activities similar to advance viewing, you must be afraid of being criticized.

"It's not that easy to cry. It's a little exaggerated. I'm telling the truth."

"Crunch, crunch--"

Yuan Xi murmured while eating potato chips and flipping through the posts on the forum.

In the entire anime forum, many anime fans posted that they cried after watching "Anohana" or were so touched.

At least for Yuan Xi, the story of "Anohana" is far from enough to make him cry.

But this last episode.

It will be the biggest tearjerker.

The accumulated emotions of all the characters will burst out completely in the finale!

…
