(This article is from the first station of film and television life Time Network)
<b>The special article of the time network</b> in 2017 can be called the "first year" of Japanese comic films, in addition to the fact that the number of local films released during the year is almost the highest in the calendar year, there is a special point in time - from the first japanese film history to be put on the screen of the comic change live-action series "Bipopu University" (especially in 1987's "Bipop University: College and Taro March" as a marker), this year is exactly the third decade.
In 2017, the Japanese manga live-action movie "Blowout" was almost close to 30 films
Everyone on earth knows that manga and animation are Japan's proud strengths, and the mass base at home and abroad is very solid. Except for a few people like Hayao Miyazaki or Makoto Shinkai, who are known as "once in a decade" who insist on making original animated films, most filmmakers still tend to adapt existing manga scripts into animated theatrical versions or live-action movies. On the one hand, it can use the appeal of the original work and the existing fan base to reduce investment risks; on the other hand, <b>although the manga film industry is only thirty years old, the history of Japanese animation creation has gone through 100 years, and there are too many classic anime works and even "lost pearl" comics that can be excavated by the filmmakers</b>, and there is no need to write an original script, you can bring a wave of heat.
The whole fertile soil of Japanese comics, coupled with the Japanese people's general love for local IP, comic films even if they are not exported, they can basically sell in the country, just to open a self-hi for comic fans, and then expose their own artists, they are also very happy. Therefore, in recent years, the "Japanese fresh meat" that has become popular because of the manga reform has a fight with China's "traffic students" at the level of marketing means and audience groups.
Looking at the number of live-action manga movies that have been released and finalized in Japan in 2017, the number is as high as 28, nearly 10 more than last year's 20, and double that of 13 in 2015. (List of comic adaptations released this year, see the picture below)
Among them are established anime IPs, such as "Gintama" and "Fullmetal Alchemist", which are second only to the popularity of the "Three Migrant Workers", the adventure epic "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure" in the 80s, "Infinite Resident" starring Takuya Kimura and participating in this year's Cannes screening, and so on...
There are also not so old, but in recent years more "phenomenon-level" manga IP, such as dark blood to "Tokyo Ghoul", science fiction suspense to "Asian", tear-jerking healing to "Lion of March", brain hole campus comic "Saiki Nanao's Disaster" and so on...
There is also a category of girls' manga that is the most common and common in Japan, such as Kenjin Yamazaki's "Friends of the Week." ", Hashimoto Kana's "Spring and Summer Reasoning Event Book", Ikuta Doujin and Hirose's "Teacher! And so on...
Comics love "fresh meat" a number of times
From the above 2017 "blowout" comic film list, it can be seen that the three major inertias of the Japanese comic live-action film industry: first, insist on playing iron while it is hot; second, adhere to the popularity of "fresh meat"; third, adhere to "digging graves" and "fried cold rice" for thirty years.
However, a large number does not mean a great number of good works. In the more than three years from 2014 to 2017, nearly 80 live-action comic films were released, but the only ones that could break through the 4 billion box office were 2014's "Roman Baths 2", "Langke Sword Heart: Kyoto Fire", "Langke Sword Heart: The End of the Legend" and "Nobunaga Concerto" in 2016.
If you don't count "Bath 2" with the reputation of the previous game and "Nobunaga", which is mainly the influence of Japanese dramas, in recent years, the only one who has successfully made the second dimension live-action in the real sense and obtained excellent box office is "Ranger Sword Heart". Next, let's review the history of comic changes in previous years to see if we can summarize any laws from successful cases.
<b>The "prototype" of the comic adaptation in the 90s</b>
Although the history of Japanese comic book live-action movies has gone through thirty years, in fact, the number of the first two decades is far less than that of the decade from 2007 to 2017. <b>From 1987 to 2004, basically only one comic book was published a year</b>, and the comic themes adapted during this period were basically light and funny, either around the campus or daily life, the most typical representative is the "Fishing Fan Diary" that has been released since 1988 and is released every year.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the Japanese film industry began to recover, and the first Tokyo Film Festival was held in 1985. Most of the key Japanese films of this period were adapted from best-selling novels, and the group of "original audiences" began to be targeted. Compared with the style of the early Ozu Yasujiro and Kurosawa Akira periods, Japanese films in the 80s and 90s began to pay more attention to "entertainment".
In addition, the 80s was the golden age of Japanese animation, and classic works such as Dragon Ball, Baseball Hero, Totoro, and Soccer Boy were simply popular abroad, and Miyazaki, Mori Oshii, Katsuyo Otomo, and Hideaki Anno, who became famous supervisors and authors, all made their fortunes during this time.
Be-Bop High School series
In this environment, it is also expected that the movie "eyeing" the comic theme. Released in Japan on December 14, 1985, "Bipopu High School" was released in Japan, and this school youth film adapted from Theauro Kiuchi's manga of the same name not only won the second place at the Japanese box office in 1986, but also the debut masterpiece of Miho Nakayama.
From 1985 to 1988, the series produced a film version every year, <b>and 1987's "Bipopu College: College and Taro March" won the "Most Talked About Film Award" at the 11th Japan Academy Film Awards that year</b>, which was enough to see the popularity of "Bipopu University" that year. That's why 1987 is now the year that comic book adaptations begin.
As for the manga adaptations of the 1990s, the most representative ones are the 95 version of "Flower Man" (starring Yuki Uchida and Naoto Fujiki), Tsuyoshi Domoto's "The Legend of the Shanghai Mermaid in kaneda's Juvenile Incident Book" (1997), and Takashi Takashi Antimachi's "GTO Spicy Teacher" (1998).
Tsuyoshi Domoto is the "original generation" actor of Ichi Kaneda
Among them, "Kaneda Kazu" grossed a total of 2.38 billion yen that year, which was also a good result at the time.
You know, before "NANA" in 2005, the highest box office record holder in Japan was the "Diary of a Fishing Fan" starring Toshiyuki Nishida and his "old friend" Rintaro Mikuni, and the highest one was "Diary of a Fishing Fan 7" in 1994, which won 2.85 billion yen at the box office, and it has not yet broken 3 billion.
<b>Even today, as long as a local comic reform crosses the threshold of 3 billion yen, it can already go through a wave of press releases to celebrate. </b>At that time, Tsuyoshi Domoto, who was only 16 years old, also became a classic in the hearts of many fans as the first live-action actor of Kaneda Kazuichi.
In contrast, the 95th edition of "Fancy Man", which only earned 760 million yen that year, seemed too non-existent, and they probably did not guess that this would be a super IP that would be popular throughout Asia for many years in the future.
In fact, the 95th edition of "Fancy Man" by Naoto Fujiki, partnered by Yuki Uchida (at the peak of his appearance), is the first version adapted from the manga of the same name by Kano Leaf. After that, in 1996, the first animated version of "Fancy Man" was released, and the fan base began to expand.
It was not until later, people successively experienced the 2001 Taiwan adaptation of "Meteor Garden" and the 2005 Matsumoto Run's version of "Flower Man", which really ushered in the unprecedented popularity of "Flower Man".
In 2008, after the end of the drama version, the movie version of "Fancy Man Final" actually grossed 7.75 billion yen, almost ten years later, <b>and it is still firmly the third place in the history of the Japanese comic box office</b>.
From the "encounter" of the 95 version of "Fancy Man", it can be seen that a large part of the box office success of Japanese manga live-action movies still needs to rely on the support of TV stations, or often, directly the movie version of popular TV series.
<b>2005: Prologue to the tide of comic book reform</b>
2005 was definitely a watershed year in the history of Japanese manga adaptations. Before 2005, there was not a single domestic comic film that could be on the 3 billion.
And during that time, what was the situation of Japanese cinema that had just entered the new century? Since basically 80% of the top Japanese box office films are imported films, we will only compare Japanese domestic films here.
In 2001, Miyazaki's world-dominating "Spirited Away" grossed 30.8 billion yen (still the first in Japanese film history); in 2002, the domestic head was "The Cat's Reward" with 6.44 billion yen;
In 2003, "Jumping the Great Search Line 2", which can be recorded in the history of Japanese cinema, with a box office of 17.35 billion yuan, it is still the highest domestic live-action film in Japan; in 2004, it continued to have Hayao Miyazaki's "Hal's Moving Castle" (19.6 billion yen) and Masami Nagasawa's famous work "Call for Love in the Center of the World" (8.5 billion yen)...
And comic book theme movies, whether from the audience level or the level of production investment, are slightly inferior to non-comic films, and 3 billion seems to be a barrier that cannot be stepped on.
nana 2005
It wasn't until 2005 that the live-action version of NANA came out.
Adapted from the comic of the same name, "NANA" is also known as "The Other Me in the World", this IP is definitely a lot of youth memories after 8090. With the popularity and topicality of the original work, as well as the blessing of Mika Nakajima, whose singing career was in full swing, the live-action film "NANA" won 4.03 billion yen at the box office<b>, becoming the first comic film to break 3 billion and 4 billion. </b>
The other heroine of the film, Aoi Miyazaki, although she became famous as a teenager, did not really begin to be remembered by more people until she starred in "NANA", and together with the work, it went from Japan to the whole of Southeast Asia.
Sunset in Samchome
Also in 2005, the adaptation of the short comic of the same name, "Sunset of Forever Sanchome", also grossed 3.23 billion yen and won the "Japan Oscar" (the 29th Japan Academy Awards) for best picture that year. This is arguably the most artistically accomplished of Japanese manga films.
The original manga "Sunset in Sanchome" depicts in detail the character story and social map of the economic recovery after the successful olympic bid in Tokyo, Japan, and the theme of this manga is larger, which is far from other more popular school comics, fighting comics, and girl comics.
It is worth mentioning that the sequel "Sunset of Forever Sanchome 2" in 2007 became the highest-grossing film in the series, ranking among the top ten in the history of Japanese manga adaptations with a box office of 4.56 billion yen. The third "Sunset of Forever Sanchome", which was restarted after five years, continued to be the original team of hidetaka Yoshioka and Masaki Horikate, which also won 3.44 billion.
If in 2005, "NANA" and "Sunset of Sanchome" began to smell the "plasticity" of comic-action films, 2006's "Death Note" was the prelude to the japanese comic book boom that really set off the nearly decade.
The 06 edition of Death Note is hard to surpass
With this Death Note, which can manipulate life and death with its name, the Night God Moon, who upholds "justice", becomes almost the first "villain" protagonist in the history of Japanese comics. Death Note, original by Obaba and Ken Obata, has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2003, with a cumulative circulation of more than 30 million single books, which once caused the manga to be sold out of stock.
The setting of the original work has both the magical elements of the "God of Death" and the realistic problem of the relationship between the system and the right, the key is that the promotion process of the whole story is to present an IQ game of two male duels, and the plot of various psychological temptations, sets, reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance is rigorous and rendered meticulously, and it is still wonderful to clap.
In 2006, Ryu Fujiwara and Kenichi Matsuyama starred in the live-action version of Death Note (part 1), which was first released in June, followed by the anime series in October of the same year, and the sequel, "Death Note: The Last Name", was released in November. This year can be called the year of "death book".
The two live-action versions grossed nearly 8 billion yen at the box office, especially "The Last Name", which was released at the end of the year, and finally accumulated a box office of 5.2 billion, becoming the second comic book adaptation of live-action movies with a box office of 5 billion after "Sea Ape 2: The Boundaries of Love".
"Death Book" is not only successful in Japan, but also affects the three regions of China, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States and around the world, and in Hong Kong has broken the single-day box office record of imported films, which is one of the few successful examples of live-action films that not only did not destroy the original work, but even reacted to the original work.
Moreover, the popularity still continues to this day - in 2015, the Japanese film party, which has been committed to "fried cold rice" for thirty years, first restarted the Japanese drama "Death Note", played by "Little Prince of Manga" Kento Yamazaki, and Masataka Kuwata played the night god moon, with uneven word of mouth; in 2016, the live-action movie "Death Note: Light up the New World" called "Orthodox Sequel" was released, continuing the story after "The Last Name" ten years ago, and also found Kenichi Matsuyama of Toda Keiri kazu (who became XXL) to appear on camera and play the love card Although bad reviews are everywhere, it still broke 3 billion. This year, the American version of "Death Note" has just begun in August...
The success of NANA and Death Note broke with the previous situation that "blockbuster comic films are basically theatrical versions of TV series". On the one hand, the number of Japanese movie screens in the past few years from 2004 to 2006 has increased rapidly; on the other hand, the theme of manga reform has begun to jump out of the daily tone of campus or life, or combine the background of the times, or explore deeper social issues, not only for fans, but for a wider audience.
<b>Nearly a decade of successful comic adaptation</b>
With several successive waves of manga success stories in 2005 and 2006, the number of Japanese manga movies has been released every year since 2007, and since 2011, there have been almost 20 releases every year (except for the "disappearing" 2013). Through the data, it was found that the <b>works that exceeded 3 billion yen in the history of Japanese manga reform were all works after 2005. </b>We've summarized some of the comic book live-action movies that have exploded at the domestic box office in Japan, so let's take a look.
Rookie Story: Graduation
It was released in 2009
The local box office is 8.55 billion
(1st in manga history, 54th in Japanese film history)
Mtime rating: 7.9
Turning over the history of The Japanese manga box office, at the top of the food chain is actually a group of "rookies". "Rookie Story" (also known as "Godhead Boss") is a long manga serialized by Morita Masaharu from 1998 to 2003, telling the growth and dream story of a group of rookie baseball players, is a common school sports juvenile manga in Japan, in 2008 was made into a TV series to get very high popularity and ratings, the TV series has not yet been broadcast, TBS began to consider making a sequel, and the sequel is not a new season series, but a film version directly as the finale.
Theatrical trailer
The "dramatic" rebirth of bad students, the bloody and sensational lines, the fierce battlefield... All of this gave hundreds of pounds of chicken blood to the people of the whole country, and the final box office of the film version exceeded 8 billion, becoming the Japanese box office champion of the year, and still ranked first in the history of Japanese comic films. By the way, although it is a manga adaptation, in fact, the script of the film version is original, but it also embeds a large number of famous scenes in the original comic.
<b>The key to success: blood, fresh meat, TV series popularity. </b>
<b>The Sea Ape series</b>
In 2004, "Sea Ape" grossed 1.74 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 7.5
In 2006, "Sea Ape 2: The Boundaries of Love" grossed 7.1 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 7.4
In 2010, "Sea Ape 3: The Last Message" grossed 8.04 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 7.2
In 2012, "Sea Ape 4: Braveheart" grossed 7.33 billion yuan at the local box office
Sea Ape is definitely one of the most valuable series in the history of Japanese manga. Adapted from the manga of the same name, it revolves around the thrilling story of the beach rescue of diver Daisuke Sendaki (Hideaki Ito), and the first part of the series premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and won a good reputation. With the budget in place, the second film was filmed with a large ferry of more than 10,000 tons, which was the largest in Japanese film history at the time. The director of the "Sea Ape" series, Eiichiro Hasumi, was the chief assistant director of the "Jumping Search Line" drama version, and also participated in the film version of the director (including the 17.35 billion "Jumping Search Line 2: Blocking the Rainbow Bridge"), and was influenced by the style and ideas of the highest-grossing series in Japanese history.
<b>The key to success: popular comics, disaster films, big productions, and strong universality</b>
The Final Chapter of The Man of Flowers
It was released in 2008
The local box office is 7.75 billion
As mentioned above, I will not elaborate further. This F4 and Shancai story has long been a national comic adaptation in 2009. Together with the 15.5 billion "Goldfish on the Cliff" in the same year, it raised the market, and the total box office of Japanese domestic films in 2008 became the highest record after 2000.
<b>The key to success: the popularity of TV series, star effect</b>
<b>Symphonic Lover's Dream series</b>
In 2009, "Symphonic Lover's Dream Final Movement: Part 1" local box office: 4.1 billion
Mtime rating: 8.2
In 2010, "Symphonic Lover's Dream Final Movement: Afterword" local box office: 3.72 billion
Mtime rating: 8.1
Another old friend after the 8090s, "Symphonic Lover's Dream" is the most successful campus love to the comic after "Fancy Man". Also as a sequel to the popular Japanese drama, the two film versions have also collectively won nearly 8 billion. The interaction and interpretation of Hiroshi Tamaki and Shuri Ueno in the play can be described as a highly restored original, full of two-dimensional painting style, and set off a wave of classical music learning in that year.
<b>The key to success: or the TV series fierce. </b>
<b>The 20th Century Boy series</b>
In 2008, "20th Century Boys: Part I" local box office: 3.95 billion
In 2009, "20th Century Boys: Part II" local box office: 3.01 billion
Mtime score: 7.0
In 2009, "20th Century Boy: Part III" local box office: 4.41 billion
Naoki Urasawa's "20th Century Boy" won numerous manga awards in Japan and abroad at the beginning of the century, and is undoubtedly a true masterpiece. Factors such as the ups and downs of the plot, the thick character fate and character description, and the painting style of anti-Japanese traditional painting are all doomed to be extraordinary. The trilogy has invested a total of 6 billion yuan, which can be said to be a big deal in Japan, and the main force entering the theater is still a fan of the manga (although it has also been complained about as a Cosplay film). It is also rare that this is a live-action movie adapted directly from a manga, without any TV series and anime versions, and the three movies together have won more than 10 billion yen, which is quite classic.
<b>The key to success: The appeal of the original work, big coffee (Karasawa Shouming, Takako Tokiwa, Teruyuki Kagawa, Hitomi Kuroki).</b>
<b>Roman Baths series</b>
In 2012, "Roman Baths" grossed 5.98 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 6.6
In 2014, "Roman Baths 2" grossed 4.42 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 6.9
When "Roman Baths" swept the Japanese film market, perhaps many people were impressed by the "bath culture" of ancient Rome in Japanese. In the year of the release of the sequel "Roman Baths 2", under the bag of "Conan", "Spider-Man", "Sugishita Ukyo" and other "celebrities", it was really surprising that it was able to break through and win the box office figure of 4.5 billion yen.
<b>The key to success: popular manga, hilarious novelty of the story, and Japanese hot spring townships as selling points. </b>
<b>The Ranger Sword Heart series</b>
In 2012, "Langke Sword Heart" grossed 3.01 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 7.6
In 2014, "Langke Sword Heart: Kyoto Fire" grossed 5.22 billion yuan at the local box office
In 2014, "Ranger Sword Heart: The End of the Legend" grossed 4.35 billion yuan at the local box office
In 2012, without being optimistic, the live-action version of "Ranger Sword Heart" was eye-catching, and the excellent action scenes and high degree of comic restoration were unanimously praised by many comic fans. And two years later, the launch of two sequels in one breath can see Warner's confidence, and indeed won nearly 10 billion box office.
The choice of starring actor is undoubtedly extremely critical, Ken Sato met Sword Heart, just like Gail Gadot met Wonder Woman, too suitable; other supporting roles also chose big names; action scenes consulted the Hong Kong team; art, scenes, costumes and other designs as far as possible to restore the comic... It is also worth noting that <b>it is most suitable for the needs of contemporary films, which greatly weakens the sense of violation generated by "two-dimensional works". </b>The entire "Langke Sword Heart" film crew has accumulated a lot of "practical" experience, resulting in a qualified summer commercial blockbuster, which is definitely <b>one of the most successful commercial comic adaptation templates in recent years that can be studied and referenced. </b>
<b>The key to success: sincerity. </b>
Nobunaga Concerto
The local box office is 4.57 billion
Mtime rating: 6.8
As part of Fuji Tv's 55th anniversary commemoration project, the Japanese drama "Nobunaga Concerto" has attracted much attention as the first "costume drama" to land on the ninth day of the month. The film, starring Oguri, is based on the manga of the same name by Ishiibu, which tells the story of high school students after crossing the Sengoku period. Since the end of the Japanese drama was at a very delicate node, everyone was curious about the subsequent development, so the "Nobunaga Concerto Movie Version", which was planned as the end of the work at the beginning of the project, naturally attracted a large number of fans.
<b>Death Note series</b>
In 2006, "Death Note, Part 1" grossed 2.85 billion yuan at the local box office
In 2006, "Death Note: The Last Name" grossed 5.2 billion yuan locally
In 2008, "L Changed the World" grossed 3.1 billion yuan at the local box office
As for the details of the popularity of the "small book of death" around the world, it has been described above and will not be explained much.
<b>The key to success: mainly the original fierce, the story is bold, and the live-action version respects the IQ of the original. </b>
<b>The Sunset of The Eternal Three-Chommome series</b>
In 2005, "Forever Sunset of Sanchome" grossed 3.23 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 8.4
In 2007, "Sunset of Forever Sanchome 2" grossed 4.56 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 8.0
In 2012, "Sunset of Forever Sanchome 64 Years" grossed 3.44 billion yuan at the local box office
Mtime rating: 7.8
As mentioned above, I will not explain more.
<b>The key to success: fit the times, popular comics, and strong universality</b>
<b>Gintama 2017</b> (as of press release)
Japan grossed 3.789 billion (JPY)
Chinese mainland Box Office 79.975 million (RMB)
If you use box office figures to define "whether a manga is successful or not", "Gintama" is the most successful manga adaptation since the end of the "Ranger Sword Heart" series in 2014 (not counting the "Nobunaga Concerto", which is mainly a sequel to the TV series). Although from the perspective of the quality of the film itself, the difference with "Sword Heart" is not several levels.
Incidentally, another popular manga adaptation that lay guns at the beginning of the live-action version of "Gintama", "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure: Immortal Diamond Chapter 1", has been released in Japan for more than a month, and it is only 878 million yen, and the gap is also very large.
"The Giant of the Street"
<b>In addition to "Gintama", after "Sword Heart", there are three comic adaptations that can break through 3 billion</b> - one is "Attack on Titan: Prelude", which was recognized as "Hot Eyes" in 2015, although the word of mouth was unbearable, it still won 3.25 billion yen at the box office (it seems that human beings are still dying of curiosity). However, the box office of "Attack on Titan: The End of the World" released a month later was only 1.68 billion, which shows that half of the people have been scared off by the previous part.
The second part is the girl comic adaptation "Orange Orange Miracle" starring Kento Yamazaki and Tsuchiya Taiho at the end of 2015, which also earned more than 3.3 billion at the box office. It is a relatively successful example of girly comics.
There is also a 2016 "Assassination Classroom: Graduation Chapter" starring Ryosuke Yamada and Shoki Sugata, which was called "conscience manga reform" by fans, and won a good score of 3.52 billion. Together with the prelude to 2015's "Assassination Classroom", it contributed nearly 5 billion at the box office.
However, if we do not talk about heroes at the box office, there are some comic live-action movies that are not very high in the box office, but have a good reputation (mainly recognized by fans of the original). For example, in 2011, the two parts of "Killing City" also had 4 billion+ together. Although the box office figures are not as prominent as before, under the direction of Shinsuke Sato, with the blessing of kenichi Matsuyama, Kazuya Ninomiya, Shoto Hongo, Takayuki Yamada and other manga artists, the overall restoration is still good.
For example, the two parts of "Hot Blood College" released in 2007 and 2009 respectively, the "campus gangster" image of Oguri Shun and Takayuki Yamada and others is also a classic in the history of manga reform, the former is 2.5 billion, the latter is 3.02 billion, the box office is not a big hit, but as a low-cost campus manga reform can be a difference.
Parasitic Beast
For example, the controversial work "Parasite Beast" is relatively good at reduction, the first part has a box office of 2 billion, but the second part is only 1.5 billion, the performance is average; there is Kore-eda's "Sea Street Diary" in Japan box office only 1.68 billion; Ken Sato and Takayuki Kamiki's "Dream Eater" is also very good, but the box office is only 1.76 billion.
Comic book movies have their own peculiarities. The target group of many comic book live-action movies is mainly fans, and the people who contribute to the box office are not enough for the public, often resulting in the box office always failing to break through the established digital threshold. The box office fierce "blockbuster" comic can not only serve fans, even if it is a "migrant worker comic" level comic change can not rely on comic fans, but also to lay a good mass foundation, catering to the mass market, here are three TIPS:
Try to create a popular TV series, let the movie version become the sequel to the drama version, or directly the finale (personally I think it is really a hooligan, I really don't want to admit that this is a movie); the topic is more in line with the needs of the public, pay more attention to the pattern and universality (after all, the girl comic can sell 3 billion or less); live-action In the pursuit of reduction, it is still necessary to quit some "two-dimensional" habits to avoid just becoming a Cosplay feast.
Anyway, emotions are not everything.
