The comics and animations of "The King Spares Life" are relatively popular works, and after being adapted into animation, many fans of the original are also looking forward to it, but after seeing the positive film, they have dissuaded many people.
It is reasonable to say that the animation of the new routine of "The King Spares Life" should be liked by many people, but now that the first season has been released halfway, it still has not been able to catch fire, and even less than the number of broadcasts of some national comics.
Judging from the 6 episodes currently aired, I think the reason for this result is that the animation is not highly restored, and there is a lot of violation.
01. The plot rhythm is not right
"The King Spares His Life" is not the kind of classic cool text routine that starts with Goldfinger and the villain takes the initiative to send, but to hold on first and win slowly. The male protagonist Lü Shu does not have an invincible ideal, and he is satisfied to have his own home with Lü Xiaoyu.
Such a setting is destined to be inferior to those cool texts in terms of coolness, but it will be slightly better in depth and can bring some thinking to readers.
However, the rhythm of the animation is not as addictive as the original work, but let people watch one episode and have no desire to watch the next episode.
From being bumped at the beginning and unlocking the system, to selling stinky tofu and helping Lü Xiaoyu cultivate, there is nothing wrong with the content, which is basically consistent with the original work.
But the rhythm is wrong, the protagonist is too Buddhist, the supporting role is too lacking, and there is a lot less catalyst for the plot, which makes people unable to lift their strength.
02. The protagonist's voice is contradictory
From the time I watched the PV, I felt that Lü Xiaoyu's dubbing was somewhat contradictory, and Lü Shu's dubbing was still decent.
However, after seeing the positive film, I found that Lu Xiaoyu's dubbing was not bad, and Lü Shu's dubbing violated to the extreme.
Lü Xiaoyu's voice actor is Zhao Shuang, who voiced Dongfang QinLan in "Fox Demon Little Red Lady", and that slightly black feeling can still be felt in Lü Xiaoyu.
Lü Shu's voice is Yang Tianxiang, who voiced Bai Yuechu in "Fox Demon Little Red Lady", Bai Yuechu's setting is a slightly "frivolous" student who loves to take advantage of small things, and in "Fox Demon Little Red Lady", he feels that his voice is very appropriate.
But in "The Great King Spares His Life", it is still the voice of Bai Yuechu, which is a bit of a drama, and the image of Lü Shu and the voice of Bai Yuechu are very incompatible.
The feeling that Lü Shu in the animation gives me is that I want to be steady, to highlight the difficulty of Lü Shu to earn tuition and support my family, and I want to be frivolous to make Lü Shu reasonable and intimidating.
But in the main film of Lü Shu, both are not done well, with a "frivolous" voice to pretend to be stable, with a stable age to intimidate people, very contrary to harmony.
The Lü Shu deduced in the animation has less of a touch of aura, which is different from the impression given by the original work.
The protagonist appears in the most scenes, and the sense of violation is still so heavy that it is difficult for some audiences to substitute for it, and it seems that it is not surprising that "The King Spares His Life" cannot catch fire.
epilogue
The setting of "The King Spares His Life" is still good, and the system is upgraded by absorbing the negative emotions of others, which can be said to be a new theme of domestic animation, and another similar theme is "I Cry Millions of Cultivators" produced by Suo Yi culture.
The two animations have their own characteristics, but for the audience, the plot of "I Cry Million Cultivators" with slightly inferior picture quality may be more acceptable.
If you want to experience the plot of "The King Spares His Life" more intuitively, you can go to the comics and make up a voice of Lu Shu in your brain, which may be better than the animation look.
