As of now, January Shinban has generally aired two or more episodes. Compared with the past, the number of nearly 50 new fans in this quarter is not small, but the overall quality is relatively average. And in addition to a few works such as "Takagi Classmate" and "Giant Final Season", there are not many popular IPs.
As for the new animation, if you want to say that you have accumulated a certain popularity with the original work before the start of the broadcast, this "Rust Eater" is one of them.
The Last Days of Rust is a light novel written by Shinji Tumuro, the first volume of which was released in 2018. In the following year, he also won the first place in "This light novel is really great".
According to the past practice, the quality of the adapted animation of light novels that won the first place in "light force" is not much worse. "Spring Things", "Sword", "Ryogu Haruhi", etc., are all examples.
This time too.
From the two promotional PVs announced before, it can be seen that the production quality of "Rust End" is significantly higher than most light animations, and the actual performance after broadcasting is indeed not disappointing.
The picture is stable, the action is smooth, and the 3D scene does not have a cheap feeling of plastic smell. Placed in the new fan in January this year, the appropriate front-line level.
In terms of style, this animation also has the setting of the wasteland worldview. The story is set in a fantasy apocalyptic world.
Originally very similar to modern society, it had high-rise buildings and a sense of industrial technology, but due to the impact of a storm that could corrode everything, most of the civilization was destroyed. Many people also get rust as a result.
And the master of the male protagonist Red Star Bisco is one of them.
In order to find the mushroom "rust" that can cure rust, he embarked on an adventure with his master.
Of course, it should have simply drifted around seeking medical treatment. However, because of the special identity of the two people and the ability of the male protagonist, they are regarded as a threat by everyone.
It was also this that his journey with his master was fraught with danger. While curing the disease, it is also necessary to avoid the enemy's pursuit at any time.
At the beginning of the anime, the master Javi is accidentally injured due to a fight. In desperation, the male protagonist could only take him to the nearby city of Jibin. And here he found the cat Liu Meilu, known as "Panda Doctor".
Unlike the image of the male protagonist, a hot-blooded teenager who always likes to solve everything by force, Meilu is a kind personality and at the same time has a medical skill.
To say that the only thing that the two have in common is that their relatives have rust disease. The male protagonist is the master, and Meilu's is the sister...
"Rust Eaters" has aired two episodes as of monday. Compared with the original, the script of the animation part has actually made a small change.
It does not directly introduce the original plot sequence, but slightly disrupts the timeline. At the beginning, the scene where the male protagonist and the master disguise themselves to pass through the level, and then the scene turns, which is the incident where Jibin and Miro meet.
As for the story that happens in the middle, it is explained in fragments by interspersing the way of telling.
This practice of animation is nothing more than to emphasize the equal importance of Red Star Bisco and Meilu to this game. It's just that the actual look and feel is actually quite general.
This kind of inverted chronological approach is quite suitable for reasoning. Can be put into the fantasy blood fan, the effect is greatly reduced.
In addition, there are more characters in the first two episodes of this game, as well as a slightly more complex world view setting. Under this premise, the chronological order is deliberately reversed, and for many viewers who have not understood the original work, the viewing experience is very unfriendly.
Of course, this small flaw in the script does not affect the overall good performance of the first two episodes of "Rust Eater".
Compared with the large number of routines in January, its world view and plot setting are quite innovative, and the production quality is far beyond the industry average.
It is a new one that is worth watching.
