Since ancient times, listening carefully to lectures in class has been an iron rule that students must abide by in the classroom. As people continue to develop their brains, children gradually master the ability to use both minds. Naturally, students will be able to do their own thing while listening to lectures. Some people will seize the time to do homework for other courses, others will empty their minds and enter sleep mode, and even more, they will play dominoes, shogi, and strange robot models in class... This week will walk into the wonderful story of this classroom lazy master, Kwan Joon Sung.
The window position in the last row, the tall and burly front seat, and the teacher who pretends to see nothing meet the favorable conditions of the time and place, so that the protagonist of this time can do his own thing in the classroom and ignore the teacher. However, if guan jun is only used as "deserting in class" to describe Guan Jun, it will be slightly inappropriate, and the scale and completion of his play can almost be called "the wonder on the desk". In the corner of the classroom, Guan Jun is on the small desk, exploring the infinite possibilities.
And Guan Jun's every move is basically unfolded from the perspective of his table mate Yokoi. In the anime, the wonders of the desk are more intuitively displayed through the strange playthings on Guan Jun's desk and the brain holes of Yokoi's whimsy. The anime "Little Action in Class" is based on the manga of the same name serialized by Takuma Freemori in weekly Comic Flapper. It has been a critical acclaim since its inception, and has been called the first manga in Japan to seriously describe "laziness in class".
The animated version began airing in 2014, which was broadcast on TELEVISION at a length of 6 minutes per episode. Due to scheduling reasons, the remaining episodes are scheduled to be broadcast on the network. It is worth mentioning that this game is also the first late-night animation produced by animation company SHIN-EI. It was adapted into a live-action TV series in 2015. Because in the two works of "Small Actions in Class" and "The Image of Xiao Liumei" by Hara Kexuan, the name of the heroine is very coincidentally called Liumei (るみ). Therefore, at that time, the live-action TV series of these two works was merged and broadcast together, and each lasted 12 minutes.
The upper and lower ones are "Small Actions in Class" and "The Story of Xiao Liumei", and the promotional posters for the merger of the two works are combined.
As the male protagonist of this work, Guan Jun's line volume is less than other supporting roles. Guan Jun is actually responsible for letting the audience see what he is doing, while the table mate Yokoi is used as a commentary, sometimes hindering, sometimes participating in Guan Jun's game. In this work, the voice actors responsible for the male and female protagonists are Hiroshi Shimono and Kaori Hanazawa, who have cooperated many times, and their past two work experiences have made their voice acting in this work more tacit. The two also made the original author, supervisor and other staff laugh during the audition stage, and it can be said that they are the best choice for dubbing this game.
So then again, what is it like to voice a character without lines? Before the news of the anime was announced, Shimono was a fan of the original manga. When he learned that he was going to voice a character who didn't speak, he immediately reacted to "Class Little Moves". Although it was good to be able to dub his favorite works, it wasn't until Shimono calmed down that he realized what he should do for a character who didn't even have a line. When he actually got the script, he found that his lines were basically "! "Hummm..." and "...", plus at most some "hahaha" laughter, and so on. In most cases, it is necessary to rely on Shimono for free play or improvisation.
There are a variety of toys in this game, both Japanese and Western, and there are many ways to play with the same toy. And the gameplay of different things in this game is also free from the rules inside and outside. For example, games like Go Shogi are known to most viewers. However, in the work, shogi can ignore the board and play an action game, and Go is also placed in the shape of a bear and a rabbit. A situation like this that goes against the gameplay within everyone's perception is also very interesting. There are also some things that are not well known to everyone, or that are very interesting to play in themselves, and it is also refreshing to move to the classroom. Although the desk is small, it does not limit Mr. Mori's unlimited imagination at all.
Although Guan Jun did some unrealistic things in class, it still resonated with the audience. It may be inevitable that everyone will desert in class, blacken the letters in English textbooks, and graffiti on the faces of historical figures. When Mr. Mori was a child, like Guan Jun, he drew a small animation of turning pages in textbooks. However, for Mr. Mori, the number of pages in the textbook was too small to satisfy his story of drawing kendo competitions, so he chose to draw on the dictionary in the end. Because Mori Fan's drawings were too wonderful at that time, he was urged by his friends around him to quickly draw the back part. As a result, Teacher Sen Fan, who had not yet entered the industry, had already experienced the pain of rushing to work in hell.
Finally, I will end with a clip of Guan Jun's animation in the OP, and demonstrate the correct posture of desertion in class.
The clip contains the storyboard, layout, original painting, animation, motion inspection, coloring, playing table and AR recording process in animation production, which is simple and clear and easy to understand.
