Zootopia
In 2016, Disney's "Zootopia" became popular all over the Chinese mainland, and the natural enemies of each other, "Judy the Rabbit" and "Nick the Fox", formed a partnership and won the love of countless children.
In October last year, Station B released a new work from Japan, which is also anthropomorphic, which at first glance is very similar to "Crazy Animal City".
Then you are too naïve, this is definitely a child-friendly, adult must-see anime!
As soon as the manga was made public, it won an unprecedented sensation and won numerous prestigious awards in the Japanese manga industry.
This fan has a high score of 9.1 in Douban, and the second part has soared to 9.4 points, and many netizens praised it as "a few great animation works".
It's the dark adult version of Zootopia – Animal Rhapsody.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Extremely tense plot: can meat and herbivores live in peace</h1>
In Animal Rhapsody, the author constructs a world in which carnivores and herbivores coexist.
At the all-boarding Cheriton College where they lived, whether they were weak herbivores or mighty carnivores, they all coexisted peacefully.
In order to maintain this peace, the Academy has also formulated corresponding rules.
First, carnivores are forbidden to eat meat. Only custard and soy products can be substituted.
Second, accommodation is also strictly classified according to meat and herb.
Third, carnivores are never allowed to show their fangs.
But even under such strict regulations, carnivores and herbivores still cannot avoid friction.
As small as squirrel rats are easily stepped on by large animals, as large as the drama club starring Alpaca Tim, who was brutally killed one late night.
It is said that the murderer showed his fangs and bit Tim to death, which must have been committed by carnivores.
As soon as this incident came out, carnivores and herbivores broke the already precarious calm, and the trust between them collapsed in an instant.
Herbivores and carnivores who are also in the drama club, rookies and chickens with each other, guard against each other, from friends on the same front to enemies against each other.
The performance of the drama club is imminent, after Tim is killed, the star actor Reindeer Louis senior looks for Tim's replacement, and brings the protagonist of the story, the gray wolf Regsy, to complete the performance together.
The academy explicitly prohibits late-night rehearsals, but in order to keep up with the rehearsal schedule, Rigsy looks at the wind for the starring role, but accidentally bumps into a mini rabbit Xiaochun.
Rigsy's fear of being caught in the wind, as well as his instinct to hunt, made Rigsy pounce on Koharu.
Koharu couldn't dodge and desperately waited for death, but she didn't expect that this would be the beginning of her and Rigsy's love.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > high-energy character setting: symbolize characters as animals</h1>
The reason why "Animal Rhapsody" can be a god is inseparable from its exquisite production.
In the play, burning funds can be seen everywhere.
When Rigsy smelled the smell of Xiao Chun, a smoke invaded the body along the 3D modeled Rhizy's nasal cavity, and the blood vessels were intertwined and complex, and they all appeared.
On the night that Tim the alpaca was killed, in the dim light, the alpaca's hair was delicate to the point of texture. In the darkness, only the outline is outlined with light blue lines, leaving a trace of blood that is particularly conspicuous, touching the hearts of countless viewers.
There are countless such scenes, but only by refining the production, it is far from the point of sealing the gods.
The high-energy character setting in its high-quality story is the soul of this story and the most evocative place of the story.
The male protagonist of the story, Regsy, is a gray wolf. He was tall and fierce-looking, but he was extremely gentle and kind at heart.
He and Tim had the best relationship and would pass on Tim's unsent love letter to another lamb after Tim's death.
He never clashed with people and tried to pretend to fail each time.
Rigsy was initially always rejecting his own strength, because he could not find the meaning of his existence, and although the wolf was powerful, it was useless in this academy.
Later, he fell in love with Koharu and found that if he wanted to protect the people he liked, he could only release the nature of carnivores. This means that he must fight against the rules of this world.
Rigsy accepted himself at that moment: "Born to be a wolf, I'm sorry. I also gradually began to understand the meaning of being born a wolf. Claws born for you, fangs that grow for you. I want to be your beast, just to protect you. ”
For Koharu, Rigsy is the salvation of life.
Before meeting Rigsy, Koharu had a depressed life of pain.
Because of her special type and petite stature, she suffered from racial discrimination and bullying.
When watering flowers downstairs, the roommate would deliberately throw books and mattresses down and hit her head;
Go to the cafeteria to eat, no one will ever want to share a table with her, and was splashed with water by the clown rabbit;
In order to survive and protect himself, he had to sell his flesh;
But Xiaochun did not want to look so delicate, she was not humble when she was bullied, and fought back with words.
It is only forced by the weakness of appearance, destined to live at the bottom of the food chain for a lifetime, destined to be bullied for a lifetime.
It wasn't until I met Rigsy that I got a hint of warmth.
In addition, there is Louis, who aspires to a strong body of carnivores, and in order to become stronger, he does not hesitate to weigh the pros and cons and compromise on power. A 14-year-old zebra who was forced to work in a nightclub because of his livelihood.
Every animal has its own hidden feelings and secrets. In this world of the weak and the strong, who can be left alone? Who can stay out of it?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="85" > a profound story theme: borrowing the mouth of animals to expose human nature to good and evil</h1>
Animal Rhapsody and Zootopia have some similarities in setting, but in the discussion of class, race, and human nature, the former is superior.
We often say that man is an animal of desire. When writing about animals, you can write about human nature; when you write about people, you may as well write about animal nature.
"Zootopia" is to borrow the love and killing of Judy the rabbit and Nick the fox, turning enemies into friends, to reflect that humans of different skin colors and different races can live well in the same land.
Animal Rhapsody exposes the prejudiced and discriminatory side of society.
The gray wolf Rigsy is tall and bound to be dangerous and fierce;
Mini rabbit Xiaochun is weak and is bound to be delicate inside; the clown rabbit is purely blooded, so he looks down on Xiaochun.
Even if Rigsy is a wolf, he must obey the orders of Louis the reindeer, because Louis is a magnate and a popular star.
All sentient beings are suffering, but they still have to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on;
Some people are born in the clouds, fame and fortune are at their fingertips; some people are in the mud all their lives, unable to get rid of the shackles of class.
But after a long night, dawn breaks, and there is still hope in the darkness.
Louis the Reindeer is ambitious, bent on possessing the power of carnivores and breaking stereotypes.
Gray Wolf Regsy has learned to endure desire in the past 17 years. He is not indisputable from the world, but he knows that peace in this world is not easy to come by, and it needs the shackles of rules, and he also needs to take the initiative to restrain and tolerate.
Koharu is even more different, she is powerless to break free from her natural destiny, but she also lives out her true self in despair, not afraid of prejudice, and jedi fight back.
The three of them are actually a type of person.
Isn't Ceril College a reflection of our real world?
In this society where the weak eat the strong, everyone is desperately sharpening their heads, trying to become famous overnight and become superior.
When you are strong, anyone wants to rub you; when you are weak, someone wants to fall into the well.
Only a few people understand that inner strength does not mean that others are used as stepping stones; weakness on the outside does not mean that inner steadfastness is lacking.
True strength is not necessarily tall, and real winners are not necessarily arbitrary.
The second season of this anime is over, where will Rigsy and Koharu go in the future? Can Louis realize the ideal of "coexistence and co-prosperity"? Who was Tim's killer?
