In the Internet era, there are many new changes in the channels we have contacted with animation, such as watching the relevant information of Weibo Big V, the new video of the B station UP master, or some self-media tweets and so on.
However, there is such an animation, its own popularity is not very high, but its heroine is quite popular on a pink APP, and once shined on the comic market, thus being well known to the audience.
This work is a light adaptation produced by Kyoto Animation in 2014.
"Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park"
The animation begins with high energy.
Transfer student Sendou Isuzu pulled out a large gun from under his skirt and issued a "sincere" invitation (with a gun to his head) to the amusement park next Sunday to the male protagonist, Ke'er Jiangxi.
Forced to be helpless, the male protagonist could only follow this transfer student who drew his gun at this place called "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park".
What can be seen is not the laughter of the children, but a desolate scene.
The facilities are dilapidated, some are shaky to play, some are unmotivated by the staff, and some even feel that people are in danger of life.
After playing most of the game, Chidou Isuzu took the male protagonist with him to find the manager of the amusement park, a girl who was as beautiful as a princess.
After some conversation, Ratifah also expressed his request to The West:
"Please serve as the manager of our Gancheng Radiance Amusement Park and revitalize this amusement park that is on the verge of closure"
Immediately, she explained everything to the male protagonist, and it turned out that the princess named "Latifa" and all the employees of the amusement park were from the real magical country - Red Maple Paradise.
The place, called Gancheng Radiance Amusement Park, is the medium through which they connect with humans and the source of their magical energy.
Due to the long period of lack of popularity, the magical energy they rely on as otherworldly humans is getting weaker and weaker, and they will be forced to leave this place one day in the future.
Therefore, Ratifa wanted to hire the male protagonist as the manager of the amusement park, and put forward the minimum requirement for him to save them, that is, to have more than 250,000 visitors to the amusement park within three months.
The male protagonist also thought that this girl was joking with him, after all, magic was too out of touch with reality.
Ratifa also understood, so she used her own way to prove the existence of magic to the male protagonist - she went straight up.
Meet A-Man Princess is LSP? Of course not, this is the need for their people to teach the male protagonist magic through this "ritual".
And after the male protagonist returned home, he was surprised to find that he could actually read his sister's heart?
Just when the male protagonist lamented that there was really magic in this world, Isuzu appeared in front of him again, and pulled out a large gun from under his skirt again.
(Incidentally, her ability is to freely pull out or retract the gun from any area of bare skin.)
It looks like the gun is pulled out of the skirt, purely because it is easiest to pull the gun from the thigh with the largest area. ）
In this way, she proves to the male protagonist:
Neither Ratifa nor herself deceived him, they were indeed inhabitants of the wizarding world and did need his help.
Although it feels a bit inexplicable, as Nishi recalls his childhood bond with the princess (and Isuzu's sincere headshot threat), Nishi finally agrees to their request and begins his career as a manager at a place called "Gancheng Radiance Amusement Park".

Workplace animation in Kyoto' true colors
First of all, I would like to ask you a question: What is the "true color of Kyoto"?
Maybe everyone will give different answers, but presumably the vast majority of people will mention the following keywords, such as painting aesthetics, character beauty, emotional delicacy, funny and warm plot, emotional drama is mostly pure love and so on...
As a work produced by Kyo Ani, although the Kyoto style is obvious, "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park" has its own unique style.
Unlike the traditional Kyoto Animation, which focuses on the emotional lines of the characters, "Gancheng Radiance" is a bit like an animated workplace drama, which can be said to have a unique flavor.
After the male protagonist agreed to Ratifa's request to become the manager, he began to carry out a drastic reform of the amusement facilities and personnel programs of the Gancheng Radiance Amusement Park.
(PS: The picture shows that the male protagonist revoked all the rest days within 3 months, and the capitalist looked directly at the insider. ）
Unfortunately, although these ideas are all good, they have encountered a lot of problems in practice.
For example, insufficient funds, insufficient manpower, land problems, rent problems, and some measures have not achieved the predetermined effect, etc.
Seeing that the general limit is approaching, Ke'er Jiangxi is also becoming more and more impatient, changing the calm and calm of the past, orders and measures are becoming more and more urgent, and treating friends around him much more severely.
But ah, blind impatience can not solve any problem.
Therefore, can the male protagonist finally complete the goal of "making the amusement park more than 250,000 visitors in three months", so as to save gancheng Glorious Amusement Park and Princess Ratifa?
This point still has to be seen by everyone to know the answer
02
Life in the amusement park is diverse
After talking about the plot, it is natural to talk about character shaping.
Although "Gancheng" is much worse than works such as "Ice Cream", "Kyobuki", and "Violet" in terms of popularity, it does not lose them at all in terms of character shaping.
For "Gancheng", the most important characters in this work are the male and female protagonists, that is, Ke'er Jiangxi and Qiandou Fifty Suzu, the two inherit the style of Kyoto Animation, the male protagonist is tall and very personally charming; the female protagonist is cute and sexy, and at the same time a little natural and cute.
But to be honest, the character and character shaping of the two have not been able to make new ideas, and the characters who impressed me more in this work are several supporting roles in the animation.
For example, this cute bear voiced by Ayako Kawasumi named "Mofu road", as The uncle of Ratifa, although he has some suspicions of sister control, he is very reliable in the play.
Wenneng solicits customers at the entrance of the amusement park, and Wu Neng wakes up the male protagonist in a violent state with one punch, which can be said to be the top pillar of the amusement park.
Then there are the two good friends of Mof Road, Tirami and Macaron, who often have a mouth full of yellow strips.
However, like Moflu, as social animals, they are still very reliable in their work.
As the mascot of the amusement park, every day is overtime and hard work, until after work, I will go to the izakaya to relax my mood, stir up my sister to drink and talk about the mountains, and finally engage in yellow or something, which can be said to be very real.
And the most bizarre thing is that these mascots not only contract the work of attracting tourists in the amusement park, but also fill the yanyi piece with skill points, so that I always have a strange feeling of watching the Happy Sheep when chasing the fan.
In Japan, there is no happy sheep, but the producer's unintentional action has given us some magical visual sense, and the personal feeling is still quite interesting.

A strange woman with a gun under her skirt
In the title, I mentioned the word "Benzi" because the heroine of Gancheng, Qiandou Fifty Isuzu, single-handedly singled out the former Benzi King several times on C87 and was eventually crowned.
And she also achieved good results in the subsequent C88 and C89, and even until 2021, the book about Qiandou was also favored by many painters.
The reason for this is that the setting of Sendou Fifty Isuzu is really perfect.
Uniforms, uniforms, over-the-knee boots, firearms, absolute fields, long linen hair, white silk, ice beauties, giant breasts, mouthless... and because the ancestors were mixed with kappa blood, they naturally have the attribute of cleanliness.
Therefore, it is often fashionable to stage fancy bathing and dressing scenes for the audience at every turn, which can be said to make the gentlemen very addicted.
Coupled with Shangjing Ani's excellent painting, it is a pity that Gancheng did not make a lifan!
Oh no no, my inner thought is that it's a pity that Gancheng didn't have a big fire like Kyobuki and Ice Cream!
However, when it comes to the topic of not being hot, here is still an explanation, there is a reason why the heat of Gancheng is not high enough.
One is external pressure.
That is to say, several of its predecessors are too strong, and the kyobuki of the younger generations is even more outrageous, so it has squeezed its market to a certain extent. (The author of his original light novel is He Dong Zhaoji, the author of "All Metal Frenzy", so it is often compared))
The second is that Kamseong was too "Kyo Ani" after being adapted by Kyoto Animation.
Although the plot is interesting and the characters are beautiful, with the development of the plot, it abandons the in-depth discussion about magic and gun pulling out under the skirt in the early stage of the animation, and takes the road of family fun, failing to further explore the potential of the work.
Therefore, the whole story has become an adult story cloaked in fairy tales, and at the same time has the characteristics of nonsense and daily orientation, which has led to the weakness of the storyline and has been criticized by some fans and audiences.
In general, "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park" is a very good work, but for various reasons it failed to burst into flames, and many fans do not know this work, so I would like to give you Amway here.
If you have time, you are welcome to the "Gancheng Radiance Amusement Park" to experience this world created by Kyo Ani, depicting dreams, transmitting dreams, and realizing dreams.
