What comes to mind when you think of Japan? Are they films and television works that open their minds and can obtain all kinds of knowledge from them? Or is it the spirit of craftsmanship promoted through packaging?
I think everyone has a different answer in mind, but if you ask me, I will think of it for the first time: anime. Because Japanese anime has really achieved fame all over the world.
Why do Japanese anime do so well? In my opinion, there are several aspects, on the one hand, it has received strong official support, and under this blessing, it has gradually developed a complete set of perfect industrial chains. On the other hand, a large number of excellent works have been produced, so that the entire industry can continue to maintain vitality.
Of course, in addition, I think there is another important reason why Japanese anime can become popular, that is, it is based on real life, and the audience can find a sense of substitution in the works.
In January's new ban, there is such a work, which is the manga of the same name by LINK-sensei and drawn by Kotaro Sumono, "The Harem of the End".
Viewers who have watched the "Harem of the End" anime may object, thinking that this is at best a relatively large-scale harem drama, which is not a problem, because the current animation adaptation is only the first part of the manga, but if you have seen the second part of the manga, you will find that in the plot, LINK Sensei is depicting the current Japanese national conditions.
The second part of the "Harem of the End" manga inherits the previous setting, and the timeline has come to a few years after the "Male kill" virus incident, Shota Doi became the commander of all mankind, Mizuhara Became an expert in the direction of virus research, and the whole world was in a gradual recovery after the birth of the vaccine.
However, although men have been liberated from the freezer, a new problem has also come with them, that is, the men who have revived have all lost the motivation to pursue women, and they are no longer interested in women but addicted to comics, games and other forms of entertainment. Seeing such a setting, I don't know if I feel familiar? Yes, this is actually a true portrayal of the current national conditions in Japan.
Japan relied on the Rapid Development of the U.S. Economy after World War II and soon entered the sequence of developed countries, and the economic take-off also allowed many people at that time to live a drunken life, and the phrase "Japan in the 90s, you can buy half of the United States" is a description of the economic development at that time.
But this did not last long, because soon there was an economic bubble crisis in Japan, a large number of people lost their jobs, and the people began to enter an era of low desire.
The famous Japanese management scientist Kenichi Ozen also made a book called "Low Desire Society" to describe the current national conditions, and at the same time as entering the "low desire era", the secondary industry began to flourish, and the attention of young people was attracted by these products and no longer focused on women.
Being able to see the epitome of reality in manga may be the reason why Japanese anime can be famous all over the world.
