Zodiac signs, twelve souls!
A few days ago, I saw a domestic animation promotion PV, the name of this animation is called "Zodiac Twelve Souls".
To be honest, just watching the title "Zodiac Zodiac", my inner monologue is like this: This name is so general, I can't be interested at all...
But after watching the promo, my thinking changed by one hundred and eighty degrees: the content (specifically the action scene) is so dazzling! I blew it up!
Of course, before starting to blow, I still have to exercise restraint and maintain a bit of rationality, after all, the propaganda film may also be a propaganda "deception".
I wanted to wait until it started, after all, I didn't know the content, and I couldn't talk about it, but I noticed that it was a manga adaptation, so after reading some of the manga, I came to talk about my opinion on this anime (no spoilers involved).
My biggest feeling about this comic is one word: Absolutely!
Where is it? Absolutely in its storyboarding.
The art style is indeed a matter of opinion, but the storyboard is a relatively fair indicator of the evaluation of comic works.
As a color strip (yes, it is a stripe), "Zodiac Souls" can do so much in its storyboarding, and I am sure that its storyboarding is even more than the vast number of horizontal comics on the market.
In addition, in addition to the storyboarding, which I am very impressed with, the characters created in the manga are also very plump and full of familiarity.
As shown in the following figure, I think you can see their prototype at a glance, right?
In addition, other characters that we are very familiar with are also used, such as the Kaifeng Fu line in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", such as Inuji (Bao Qingtian) and Inuyasha (Zhan Zhao).
In addition, comics also like to subvert people's common sense, for example, because of "Journey to the West", monkeys are considered lively and agile, while pigs are somewhat silly, but in "Zodiac Zodiac", the two are swapped.
The animal princess pig in the protagonist group is lively and agile, and Qi Tian, the monkey, although retaining the magic power in our impression, has increased his body size, and now the image is like the lyrics in the lyrics, silly and cute.
Speaking of characters, I have to say that I had a doubt when I watched the promo: Where is the dragon? Could it be that the dragon-shaped black shadow (the villain) is the dragon?
After I read the comic, I suddenly realized that in fact, the turtle in the promotional film represented the dragon.
But think about it, it also makes sense, after all, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the image of the sixth son, Gantu, was a big turtle.
Nevertheless, as a zodiac sign, there is no dragon in our impression, which is also a relatively large subversion.
It is worth mentioning that there are two major groups in the comic, the beast tribe and the beast tribe, and other small groups, the protagonist group originally belonged to different camps, so that they came together many years ago, the rat tribe's extermination tragedy and the championship competition that runs through the whole, the plot is even more interlocking and fascinating.
What the story is all about? Then you need to read it for yourself, and I will not repeat it here.
Good pass animation, a business card in domestic animation!
Manga is undoubtedly a domestic manga with a superior plot and graphics, and its animation is guaranteed?
Friends who are familiar with domestic animation, I think they should have heard the name of "Good Transmission Animation"? This company, with its technical strength, there is no doubt that it can be called a business card in domestic animation.
For example, "The Great Protector" and "Dali Temple Journal" are all written by his family, and in addition, in only three episodes, the "Five Elements of the Misty Mountains" that is quickly out of the circle also has the assistance of his family.
In general, their own animation technology is completely fine, in addition, if it wants, with its connections in the circle, it can indeed pull big bulls and capable people.
So, "Zodiac Twelve Souls" is run by it, and I can say: stable!
The world of comic book? Backfired
Let's diverge into the anime "Zodiac Twelve Souls" and things other than that.
Many years ago, some people once said bluntly that the future is the world of comic change! And what are the facts today? It can only be said that it backfired.
Although there are many domestic animations online every year, and in these animations, the vast majority are online novels, there are not many original animations, comic animation is scarce, in the comic animation, penguin family in the past two years is also "Westbound", "Wu Gengji", and ah B there, "Dali Temple Log".
The former glory of domestic comic animation "Fox Demon Little Red Lady", "Under One Person", "Town Soul Street" is now old and strong, but the new generation of comic works is difficult to succeed, the word animation, this is the combination of animation and manga, if it is difficult to become a climate for domestic comic animation, I think, "the rise of national comics" is still a very difficult road.
The reason why the producer (that is, the father of the gold lord) is keen to adapt the network novel is because of commercial avoidance, after all, the popular network novel has countless fans, the change has collapsed, the fans scold while watching, spraying garbage, passers-by also have a hunting mentality to watch, and the change is good, the fans blow while watching, incarnate tap water, pull people into the pit, so, no matter what, this can usher in a very high degree of topic, the topic heat comes up, then the amount of playback comes, then the commercial value is reflected.
Having said this for so long, I just want to express that this domestic animation adapted from the comic of the same name, "Zodiac Twelve Souls", as the only remaining comic animation of the fruit, has been regarded as a rare and valuable, and what is even more valuable is that it is actually a 2D animation, which arouses my interest, in advance, I have no prejudice against 3D animation, but I do like 2D animation more...
summary
To make a summary, "Zodiac Twelve Souls" as a comic adaptation, and the story content around the legend of the zodiac adaptation, not too novel, but the victory in its art style is unique, as a strip of manga, can be the fight storyboard painting to the fullest, it is really amazing, and the production team for the good transmission of animation, I believe that with its strength, animation must retain the characteristics and charm of the comic, here, I have to whisper two sentences: the characters are animals, Fury control ecstasy!
