Some viewers will first check other people's comments and opinions when choosing an animation to watch. Because everyone generally feels that many people watch good animation, the evaluation is not too high or not too "fire" must not be good. But in fact, this idea is not necessarily correct, because of publicity or other reasons, some animations, although not necessarily very "fire", are indeed very worth seeing.
It's a shame to miss a good work because of reviews. Today, Penguin Lady will introduce you to the animation that "deserves higher evaluation", I don't know if there are any works that everyone likes?
1: Little Witch Academy
In January 2017, the new "Little Witch Academy" is a very well-made work. Originally one of the entries for Animation Future 2013, this work was Trigger's first solo animation. Its sequel, Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade, was crowdfunded, raising nearly $626,000 (about 4.3 million yuan) in a month and running in a two-week theater broadcast in Japan in October 2015. Finally, in January 2017, the animated TV version of Little Witch Academy also began to air.
The protagonist, Atsuko (nicknamed Yako), dreams of becoming a witch after watching a magic show, and finally, she is qualified to enter the "Lunanova School of Witchcraft and Wizardry", a famous witch training school in Europe. However, she was just an ordinary person who was interested in magic, knew nothing about magic, and on the first day of school, she could not find a "bus stop" and almost failed to catch up with the start of school. Because the so-called "station" is not a bus stop at all, but a "broom station", as long as you ride a broomstick, you can successfully reach the school. However, the protagonist Subko does not have a broom, and certainly does not ride!
After finally entering the school, the study life of Subko was not smooth. Because the vast majority of her classmates came from a family of witches and began to learn magic from an early age, many of them had a contempt for "ordinary humans". In such an environment, Subko had to be exposed to completely unlearned courses, and of course, to learn broom flying... This life is not easy, but it is also very exciting, let's follow subco into the mysterious and interesting magical world!
"Little Witch Academy" does not deliberately sell cute and sell meat plot, and the human setting is not the popular route at the moment, so many friends who are accustomed to the two-dimensional culture may miss this work, but this is definitely a masterpiece animation that I will not regret after watching it.
2: The Gate of the Stone of Destiny
Destiny Stone Gate is based on the popular game of the same name, and the TV anime version was broadcast in 2011. This work is not strictly a "low-rated" work, because it is very popular among a specific population and there is a series of related works (the "Science Fiction ADV" series). However, many fans believe that the popularity of this work still does not match its content, perhaps because the style, tone or first half of the story are not attractive enough, or it is not "cute" enough... Many friends who like to watch animation have only heard its name but detoured. The result gradually became a state of "people who like it will like it, and people who don't like it won't look at it at all".
Set in Akihabara in the summer of 2010, the protagonist, Rintaro Okabe, is a very ill Chuji patient who talks to himself on the phone all day long, talking about "conspiracy" and "mysterious organization" BLABALA. He claimed to be a mad scientist "Phoenix Academy", founded the "Future Props Research Institute", and studied the "invention of fans" every day.
One day, however, something strange suddenly happened. Ryutaro Okabe went to listen to the "time machine" speech, and the speaker actually copied it to annoy him. Then, he witnessed the young scientist Makise Lying in a pool of blood, and he fled in fright, texting a friend. As a result, the world suddenly changed! The "speech" just now did not happen, and Makise Hongliqi did not die. What the hell is going on here?
The anime is two seasons long, and at the beginning, people might think, "What's so good about this movie?" "The protagonist of the second grade also makes people feel that they can't keep up with the rhythm, but the story begins to accelerate gradually, making people gradually feel that they can't stop at all." When you re-watch it a second time, you will find that there are many foreshadowings buried in the seemingly bland plot in the front. The OP and ED of this work are also very good, which is very suitable for the plot.
3: Ice Cream
"Ice Cream" is adapted from Yonezawa Hotobu's novel of the same name, and just looking at the style of the painting, you may think that this is a very ordinary campus animation, but in fact, this is a work of reasoning - rest assured, no one will die. The biggest feature of this work is "everyday reasoning", and there will be no corpses or bloody scenes, but the "micro-suspense" in these lives is also very interesting.
The male protagonist, Origi Bōtaro, describes himself as an "energy-saving man" with the motto "Do not do the unnecessary things, solve the necessary things as soon as possible", he has no interest in community activities, but is forced into the Classical Society. At the strong request of the inquisitive Chitada Aiyu sister, he will face the puzzle in the journal "Ice Cream" left by the senior who suddenly dropped out of school thirty-three years ago.
The production of this work is very sophisticated, it can be said that the entire TV animation maintains the fineness of the theatrical version of the animation, and the drawing and performance of each episode are perfect. At the same time, this work is also a masterpiece suitable for everyone to watch, if you think of it as an ordinary campus animation, you will regret it!
4: Eden of the East
"There's a way to save the country with 10 billion yen."
Eden of the East is an original TV anime created by Production I.G and aired in April 2009. The story tells that on Monday, November 22, 2010, a terrorist attack occurred in Japan in which 10 missiles were dropped across Japan, but no one died. The incident was called "Negligence Monday" because the Prime Minister said "negligence", because there were no casualties and the incident was quickly forgotten.
Three months later, a teenage girl who was visiting the United States, Mikamori, was caught up in a conflict in front of the White House and rescued by a Japanese teenager in danger. This teenager's name is Takizawa Lang, cheerful and bright, annoying, with its own charm aura. He lost his memory, but didn't feel dangerous, and Mori returned to Japan with him. However, on that very day, Japan was dropped with the eleventh missile... At the same time, Takizawa received a strange phone call, which made him think that he might be the terrorist, and he still had all kinds of weapons and passports in his residence in Washington, D.C.
Give you ten billion (no matter which country's currency) can you save a country? This is a work with a very novel setting, which is entertaining while watching it and makes people think a lot.
5: "From a Calm Tomorrow"
From a Calm Tomorrow is an original TV anime that premiered in October 2013. The setting of this anime is very novel. In this work, humans are born from the ocean, when humans could breathe and live in the sea. But then some humans abandoned the sea and came to live on land, while some people remained in the ocean. The human beings on both sides have also had different ideas because they live in different places and lack communication for a long time.
In this work, four teenage girls from the ocean (Hikaru Kenjima, Aihana Shoto, Chika Hiira, and Isaki) are transferred to Mihama Junior High School on land because of the abandonment of Haru Junior High School, and they meet new lives and new friends on land. This is a story of youth full of marine atmosphere.
"From a Calm Tomorrow" is a very delicate depiction of the psychological activities of the characters, and some people have commented that this work is "the completed form of girl comics". Of course, the first impression of watching this work must be "so beautiful"! In short, this is a fresh style of fairy tale style youth story, recommended to friends who like this style!
6: Soul Eaters -Zero-"
Soul Eater Zero is a prequel to The Soul Eater by Japanese manga artist Hatsushi Setkawa, and takes place two years before the original manga.
Who awakens a soul wandering with hatred? Who are the sad people who wander in the darkness? The two people who are bound together by the bondage of fate... It is necessary to cut off the fate of the evil spirits.
The performance of this work is very strong, the level of painting is very high, and it is very suitable for the dark style of the work, the music is also very good, and it is a good animation that deserves to be revisited many times.
7: From the New World
From a New World is based on Yusuke Takashi's original novel of the same name, and the ANIME TV version premiered on September 28, 2012.
The story takes place in Japan a thousand years later, and the protagonists are five teenage girls. In that era, children could use "spells" to move objects, and the story begins at the age of 12, when the five protagonists learn this "spell" and strive to advance to higher school.
The world is obviously the "future", but it looks very idyllic and fresh, and there is no sense of "future". In addition to humans, there are also creatures in this world who have the intelligence of ordinary people, "demon rats". Behind the fairytale-like setting, however, there is a dark background: because children's actions are thoroughly monitored and managed, irrational memories are erased, and "problematic" children are treated as scrap.
Five teenage girls learn of the brutal history of humanity, and they gamble their lives to fight. And when they were 26 years old, an unimaginably terrible fate struck mankind...
