From the start of "China Qitan" to the fourth episode, the Douban score has dropped from 9.5 to 9.4.
The piglet demon in episode 1 is the absolute pinnacle of this animation, and the current score can still be stabilized at 9 points, which is a great contribution to this unit.
The piglet demon got three life-saving hairs at the ending, which may be used to save the reputation of the entire work.
If you continue to update the unit animation that is lower than expected, I am afraid that the hair will no longer be enough, and it will fall from 9 points to 8 points.
Ye Qiuchen has always had a point of view, which may not be correct, but he would like to share and discuss it with everyone.
For works that need to be interpreted and analyzed to "guess", the audience has been deliberately narrowed when they are created.
Maybe advanced, maybe profound, maybe deep, maybe philosophical.
But it is definitely not the type that the public likes to see.
However, the rating is given by the public.
Once the audience feels obscure after reading it at first, and is too lazy to look at the analysis and interpretation of the article, then the score in the heart will naturally fall.
And everyone has their own interpretation, and every analysis is possible before the official stamp.
I remember Ye Qiuchen mentioned in his last article reviewing "Chinese Wonders" that I don't like the work in episode 3 "Linlin".
At that time, there was a point that I forgot to raise, that is, the presentation of "Lin Lin" is very untopical. Whether it is a piggy demon or a goose, goose and goose, either the background of the story has Chinese elements, or the effect painting style has Chinese elements.
But "Linlin" is a bit far off.
Many people in the comments to that article shared their views with me, extending the depth and breadth of the story.
Some say that the relationship was domesticated by wolf dogs, and some say that the villagers went to the city to see the world and were happy...
Too much.
It's a bit annoying, and I don't even want to know which one is the dominant view.
However, there is no such situation in "Summer of the Little Goblin".
Although it has irony, it gives the answer clearly through a simple story background framework and a direct chain of character relationships.
Standing in the position of the piggy demon, you think of workers.
There is hardly any other speculation.
Judgment from a high level.
But the meanings that "Linlin" and "The Country Bus Took the King and the Immortals" want to convey are a little too deep.
A lot of people don't want to pick it up at all.
This is one of the reasons why open-ended questions are always low.
The core is too scattered to grasp the point.
For such works, there is a fixed preference group, so these reviews of "god works" often appear on the Internet.
It doesn't matter if it's a god's work, in fact, there are some hidden meanings, and you really don't have to understand them.
Because even if you "guess" and understand, you don't know whether it is the correct answer, and you enter a state of no solution.
That's going to be a bit boring and boring.
Therefore, what is written below only represents Ye Qiuchen's personal opinion, and it can be regarded as a forced interpretation made by himself.
Before writing the review of "The Country Bus Takes the King Child and the Immortals", I carefully reviewed the content of episode 4 several times.
Probably the core can be summarized in one word, sick.
Various diseases.
Physical diseases, psychological diseases.
Wang Zi'er was physically ill, and the fever damaged his brain, but people couldn't explain the internal reason.
When you encounter something that you can't understand because of your own limitations, you blame it on youkai.
When encountering things that may not be possible even with hard work, they will put their hopes in the gods.
These are psychological diseases.
In terms of cognition, people have distance and limitations due to the growth environment and their own pursuits.
In other words, some people want to improve, and some people reject it.
The story is chosen in a relatively remote place, relatively backward in understanding, and in their after-dinner conversations, monsters are the content they are accustomed to.
Wooko wants to worship the gods, and even if he hears the child say that there are three shadows, it is not surprising, because the existence of the monster is only reasonable for them.
She even felt a little helpless, such a normal thing, why ask?
Just believe, how absurd things are reasonable in the head.
In the story, the little goblin always follows only the older generation.
Because they believe.
Before the change, everyone is the thinking mode and logic of the past.
However, the village bus that opened to traffic in the village is a representative of progress.
Country buses can take people from remote places to more progressive cities or to another world.
But it can only take away some of the views and ideas, as well as the royal child who does not seem to fit in.
The process of Wang Zi'er constantly rocking and waiting for the car is also the process of a group of people's minds swaying and not knowing where to go.
Immortals and monsters just represent some old ideas in the minds of these people, which exist when they are needed and leave by bus when they are not needed.
The little boy who believes in the existence of the yokai is the protagonist of this story.
From his point of view, he once had three shadows.
In addition to one true shadow, the other two represent progress and backwardness, respectively.
If you are sick, you need to apply medicine, and if you lag behind, you need to improve, but if you lick the smeared medicinal tongue, the final outcome will be like a dog, leaving this mainstream world.
Although I left, in my imagination, I also left with a beautifying color.
Life, in a romantic way, ends the curtain.
The dog that got sick and left the world at the end, followed by the older generation represents the heart-sick little monster who refuses to progress, the two black shadows who are entangled in whether to get sick, the king child who is sick but cannot be cured so abandoned, and the god who cures the heart disease with the doll elves who have not been able to turn into human form.
They all ended up leaving with the country bus.
Went to another world.
Seeing the dog leave, the little boy buried his past with his own hands, and also forgot some things that happened because he grew up.
It's the same as we are now.
In Episode 4, the most obvious hint of the core idea is the public toilet in the finale.
Although there are public toilets, there are still people who pull wild.
Backwardness, progress.
Change.
The taste becomes intense and pronounced.
In fact, there are still a lot of backward ideas hidden in the story.
For example, after the successful courtship, the girl has to make 12 pairs of small shoes to hang back, and the boy only needs to make 11 pairs.
Why?
I think you know the answer.
