Hello everyone, I am your little bow. The launch of the second season of Magic Records in July last year once again set off a burst of magical girl fever, coupled with the release of the new pv of "Yuna Yuki is a Brave Man And the Chapter of The Great Full Opening", Koju also took this opportunity to make up for this excellent and alternative magical girl work.
Some people say that after 2011, no magical girl animation can cross such a mountain, that is, "Magical Girl Circle", which can be said to be the highest praise for this work, and even many viewers have rated it as the best 12-word original animation of the 21st century. All creators desperately try to escape its shadow, and the result is often reduced to a simple imitation of it. "Magical Girl Website" is like this, so is "Magical Girl Breeding Plan", "Yuna Yuki is Brave" Although the title does not contain the four words of Magical Girl, the content under the skin of the brave also has the shadow of the magic circle.
What is Magical Girl? This is the ultimate conundrum that has overwhelmed countless gentlemen. In the past, it was an anime transformation, a magic wand, a girl's pure love, and a cute mascot with an inexplicable mouth fetish. Today, when the subject matter is gradually derived, it is pink hair crying, it is twisted ecstasy (fog), and it is black and deep. And all of this can be seen in "Yuna Yuki is a Brave", and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a masterpiece. Compared to the black and black pseudo-super combat battle royale battle royale of "Magical Girl Website", "Yuna Yuki is a Brave" has excellent emotional preparation and an extremely large world view, and the degree of despair is even far more than that of "Magical Girl Circle". However, even if it is so good, it is still impossible to escape the brilliance of xiaoyuan, why is this?
In Xiao Ju's view, "Magical Girl Circle" is a rather typical plot-oriented work, and its excellence lies not only in the music and novel settings, but also in its narrative rhythm and foreshadowing. The layers of the narrative are progressive, the truth is revealed step by step, until the story develops to the climax, through the infinite loop, the feelings are all ignited at once, and a little bit of the screenwriter's poisonous chicken soup is added in the middle, which can be said to be a textbook-level case. This is corroborated in the magic record, which lacks the crucial "mystery", and can only rely on the constant appearance of new characters and artistically shaped atmosphere to promote the plot development, and push the story to a climax in an all-star form, but in this way, the sense of surprise and surprise of the story is greatly reduced, and the impact of the truth on the girls becomes a misplaced experience of intelligence error, that is, the mentality of the happy people.
In contrast, "Yuki Yuna is a Brave" is more emotionally oriented, the power and mission to save the world are only in the hands of a few little girls, due to the lack of interference from external forces, the girl's emotions and relationships become the only way to promote the story. Outside the world is difficult to face the reality, inside the world is the false prosperity of human beings, this world is doomed to the end of destruction, Xiao Ju quite admires the world view and story setting of "Yuna Yuki Is a Brave", in such a background setting that is destined to decay, the flash of the girl blooming in a desperate situation is magnified to the extreme, and it is also in line with the image of the "flower" in the animation - the bloom of the brilliant without regrets, and then wither. However, in this way, like the magic record, what Yuna Yuki lacks is a completely innovative freshness, and what is better than Moyuan is her character modeling, which is an experience different from "puzzle" and "puzzle solving", but that's all.
Even so, "Yuna Yuki is a Brave" is still a pretty good anime, And Koju is very much looking forward to the development of the third season, whether the girls will eventually enter the happy end, and whether there are new pink hair crying and distorting shots, all of which let us wait and see "The Great Opening Chapter".
