Hello everyone, I am your little bow. Go Boy is a famous Go anime that currently has two seasons, the first in 2005 and the second in 2009. After many years, a "New Go Boy" PV promoted by CCTV was officially released, making many viewers shout "Ye Qing Hui". The core theme of "Go Boy" is naturally the "Go" that Xiao Ju is familiar with, but outside of Go, what impresses the audience is the soul of the martial arts hidden around Go. Perhaps the knowledge of Go is a little niche, but the martial arts pride is something that every audience can deeply appreciate.
Go is a game with minimal rules and extremely complex variations. The black and white sides play chess one by one, exploring the way to victory in the nineteen-way chessboard. As a competitive game, the charm and fierceness of Go are concentrated between winning and losing. In "Go Boy", whether it is "Heaven and Earth Datong" or "Heaven and Earth Dahua", these moves with martial arts style are actually pursued to defeat the opponent. But if the meaning of Go is only to win and gain the supreme honor, then Go becomes a tool, a means, and the soul of Go is too narrow.
Just like Lei Lingyun in the animation, he will stop at nothing to win, but when the honor of the country is on his shoulders, the so-called villain can also sacrifice himself. Whether in "Chess Soul" or "Go Boy", Go is not only a simple signifier, but also a signified with infinite possibilities. Not only that, As one of the paintings and calligraphy of Qinqi, Go itself is an elegant sport, from "Yaozuo Go" to "idle knocking chess pieces to fall into the lights", Go can also become the elegant fun of literati and inkers. If Jiang Liu'er didn't need to carry Go to give him more responsibility, he could also meet friends with high mountains and rivers.
In "New Go Boy" (of course, we can also call it "Go Boy 3"), in addition to the big changes in the production team, the most surprising thing for the audience is the change in the style of painting. I have to say that in the first two seasons of "Go Boy", the painting style is more unique, of course, it does not feel exquisite enough. Judging from the PV released by CCTV, the painting style of this animation has become close to that of mainstream 2D national comics, and of course, it also proves the maturity of Jiang Liu'er and Fang Baihua's age. But to be honest, the new version of the style of the painting is unlikely to satisfy all the audiences, but the most important thing is whether the plot is sincere enough.
However, although CCTV promoted "New Go Boy", CCTV is not an official production, and it can be known that in fact, the production funds of this animation are not particularly abundant. In Xiao Ju's view, in fact, 3D, 2D or 3 Yan 2 animation production methods can not determine the quality of the animation itself, and "Go Boy" as a classic national comic in the eyes of the audience, the use of 2D production is obviously the best choice, and the production team can also have enough space to spend money on the blade. In fact, although the picture and special effects are the key, the plot is the core, and the plot can be accepted by the audience without pulling the crotch.
It is worth mentioning that the total number of episodes of "New Go Boy" is 52 episodes, which is exactly the sum of the first two seasons. Koju is more worried about the problem of animation narrative rhythm that may be brought about by the long number of episodes of 52 episodes, and the core component of Go cannot be highlighted. The current popularity of Go is not high, and many people will even think that it is backgammon when they see black and white. In modern life, Go may really only be accessible to groups like Xiaoju, who can often be exposed to, to speak for Go. I only hope that "New Go Boy" can fully carry forward the classics and let Go be known by more people.
