In recent years, many new national comics have emerged, but a large part of them are those that are called "short and terrible".
Although many people do not really like this kind of national comic, but everyone has no choice. Those patiently polished works, the update speed is too slow, completely not enough to see.
Some people who do not understand the situation, when they see some of the relatively short national comics, will also mistakenly think that all of them belong to the "short and terrible".
01. This short is not the other short
Long before these "short horrors" began to prevail, there were many national comics with a single episode of short duration.
Or the problem of funding, or the problem of anime positioning, this kind of national comic is usually less than 10 minutes an episode, and even some are less than 5 minutes, most of them are relatively niche types, known as bubble noodles, a bowl of noodles bubble time, anime is also played.
At that time, the short stories, although short, but the content is very interesting, each has its own characteristics, such as "Inhuman", "Luo Xiao Black War" and other national comics, niche and not vulgar, the audience will watch repeatedly.
Now the short story, and the bubble noodle fan is not the same thing, they are actually capable of making long plots.
Other national comics are updated one episode a week, more than 10 minutes of positive films, these national comics are about 5 minutes a positive episode, and two episodes are updated a week, and there is not much difference in the length of time played in a week.
As for why one episode is split into two episodes, I have never worked for this kind of animation company, and I don't know the specific reason for doing so, if you look at it according to the operational means, the advantage of doing so is to bring high exposure and high playback.
By updating two episodes a week, you have more opportunities to be seen, and compared to anime that updates one episode a week, the cumulative number of plays in a week is twice that of other anime.
What everyone really likes is the previous kind of instant noodles, not the current "short terrible", but the number of "short terrible" is too much, so that many people forget that there is such a thing as instant noodles in the anime.
02. Fear is not "short terrible"
The length of the same episode is shorter, why do anime fans like instant noodles, but don't like this kind of "short terrible"?
This is because each instant noodle fan has its own characteristics, is a different story, everyone can enjoy it, short is not terrible, you can watch it several times.
But those national comics that are called "short and terrible" by everyone, the plot is becoming more and more homogeneous, it is simply a change of model to tell the same story, how can this not make the audience bored?
The "short and terrible" broadcast in the first part is not really terrible, but dare to think and dare to do, although the length of the single episode, but the audience can be completely treated as a bubble noodle fan.
The rest of the "short terrible" is just repeating the routine of the first part, and if you watch too much, you will get tired!
epilogue
Most anime fans now are already very tolerant of national comics, pay more attention to the advantages and shortcomings of national comics, and I believe that they will gradually improve in the future.
But there will always be some works to lower the overall impression of the national manga in the hearts of anime fans.
Old comic fans are good to say that they know how much progress has been made by national comics over the years, but for new comic fans, what they are more likely to see is a larger number of "short and terrible", if they mistakenly think that national comics are like this, it is really terrible.
The length of a single episode of the national comic is not a terrible thing, the terrible thing is that these national comics that tell the same story in different sets of models waste both production and audience time.
You know, they could have been used to make new types of national comics, and the audience could have used these times to watch better national comics!
