Recently, two original animations have been launched, one is to study the obvious "Salted Fish Brother" of "Assassin Wu Liuqi", and the other is "Defective Product: Banishment to the Starry Sky" (hereinafter referred to as "Defective Product")
As a result, the quality of the two animations is really quite collapsed, and "Salted Fish Brother" has been analyzed here.
"Defective Products" originally had many Chinese comic fans looking forward to, and the reason was simple. This animation is adapted from the author of priest's web novel of the same name ("Zhen Soul", "Kill the Wolf", "You fei"), the original action studio was the coastline studio that produced "Nanocore", which was later changed to Shanghai Lingxi Culture Production.
In any case, such a strong combination or a science fiction animation has indeed aroused the expectations of many national comic fans.
As a result, the quality of this animation after it was launched was really too much, at least the first two episodes were pulled down to some unbearable to look at. Not to mention compared with the current domestic science fiction animation top "Spirit Cage", it is not even as good as Xuanji Technology's "Devouring The Starry Sky".
This animation has the feeling of a mysterious animation mode everywhere, which makes the mysterious mode more and more questionable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > the painting style is rotten, the scene is plastic, the female characters are exaggerated, and the animated version of "Defective Products" is really too much</h1>
This animation is really bad, and it is very unfriendly to both fans of the original and passers-by. Because for the fans of the original work, it is a mess, and it is too bright for passers-by and audiences, from technology to content.
1, the technical level of this animation is really not good, plastic and there are no obvious advantages and highlights
We are not on the 2D animation, the well-known domestic 3D serial animation in recent years, if you look carefully, you will find that there is a breakthrough in the technical level, and even have their own advantages and highlights.
Of course, "Spirit Cage" does not need to be said, it is a breakthrough in art, painting style, mecha, modeling, soundtrack and so on. Some viewers may not like the Western face modeling inside, but you have to admit that its technical level is indeed the highest in the current domestic 3D serial animation, and it has reached the level of the movie.
"Mortal Immortals" is a change in the kind of modeling and painting style since the Xuanji Technology, using live-action face modeling, action design using live-action motion capture, the whole animation has a very obvious advantage in action design.
The advantages of "Reflections" are not as obvious as the above animation, but its advantage is the comprehensive anti-mysterious modeling method. Female modeling is no longer popular, and male modeling is more recognizable. The art, props and painting style also have their own characteristics.
The animation of "Defective Products" can be described as no highlights and very "net red face" at the technical level.
The male character modeling in it is the "mixed-race face" of white women who have been criticized by the domestic network for a long time, and one is more white and feminine than the other, but if you compare it with animations such as "Spirit Cage", "Mortal Immortal Cultivation", and "Reflections", you will find that its character face shape does not have any characteristics.
You can't remember it after reading it, because a lot of male character modeling on the market is like this.
Female modeling is to do this "net red" aesthetic to the extreme, first of all, there is no recognition of the face shape, and the biggest problem is naturally exaggerated to the extreme figure, the first episode appeared a total of three female characters, except for a little girl modeling is normal.
The other two female characters have modeled body proportions to the point of madness, which is currently disliked by female audiences, let alone pleasing male audiences.
In addition to the lack of breakthroughs in modeling, the design of art, painting style and costume road scenes have a cheap plastic feeling, let's look at this painting style, not to mention compared with "Spirit Cage", really even "Devouring Starry Sky" is not as good.
In addition, this is a science fiction animation, and the costume and design of science fiction may not be completely realistic. But for some settings you should at least follow some common sense.
Starfleet, Future City, these have no characteristics, and foreign similar works are not to say.
Let's look at this motorcycle that the female character Penny rides, does this flame really not burn her feet?
2, the story plot is too bad, the original fans are not satisfied with the passers-by audience feel unattractive
The background of the first two episodes about the world view is too little, which is understandable, after all, it is impossible for anime to read the narration for so long like reading a history book, but it is still necessary to be more detailed. The original book starts from a group of children visiting the museum, and naturally cuts into this world, and the dialogue between the narrator and the little boy directly leads to the Garden of Eden and the Silver Fortress.
The sentence :"Admiral Lin will be our ultimate shield" is gone, which is really a pity.
For example, why didn't general Lin explain what happened before he was "assassinated", especially his conversation with Lorde. General Lin clashed with the Interstellar Alliance before he was assassinated and was forced to recall, which is the key contradiction between the Garden of Eden and the Silver Fortress. The average viewer has not read the original and has no idea what happened!
General Lin is so inexplicably "collared bento", and Lorde is a very important figure in the later stages, can you give him a little face. General Lin's betrayal may involve political issues that would be more sensitive, and if deleted, it would be more understandable.
The current problem makes ordinary people unable to understand, and ordinary audiences must be confused -
In addition, the picture production of the eighth galaxy does not show a sense of ruin that it should have, so it is difficult to form a picture contrast with the later works, and it is impossible for the audience to appreciate the difficulty of Lu Lin and the eighth galaxy leading, and from the name point of view, they cannot win the weight of the "defective products" of the government.
Anyway, this animation is really quite "pulled down", there are no highlights and their own advantages in the production level, and the restoration of the world view and background of the original work is not in place. The level of storytelling is even more so, the original fans are not satisfied, and the general audience looks bored.
This is naturally not a good animation, at least not the beginning of a good animation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > "Defective Product" is very similar to "Devouring the Starry Sky", and the mysterious mode is really "harmful"</h1>
From the production mode, this animation has a strong behind the big company (there is ip), investment in the production of an animation (project), looking for animation studio cooperation (take money to do things), animation studio production in the technical, storytelling level are a little worse (artistic pursuit).
Here is not to accuse this model of bad, to be honest, this model is one of the important progress of the rapid commercialization, industrial chain and marketization of the domestic animation industry. Animation production has risen, fixed audiences have been cultivated, investment companies have made money, animation studios have lived better, and a large number of staff have been trained to develop the entire industry.
However, the shortcomings of this model are also obvious, compared with a large number of original animations such as "Spirit Cage" and "Reflection".
This kind of cooperative IP animation, whether it is technical or storytelling level, feel that they are indeed perfunctory, after all, it is to take money to do things. If you can live well with five points of force, why use ten points of force. The original animation has to make twelve points of force, because it is not the IP market that is not guaranteed to break out, and you are dead warped.
The best way for domestic animation to live in this mode is Xuanji, and there are almost no original animations under this company.
If it is only like this, the key is that Xuanji is really listed and a little "floating" after cooperation with large manufacturers, the Xuanji animation of that year is known as the top of domestic animation, and there are probably several adjectives that can be summarized.
The first is to talk about the company: Xuanji production, must be a fine product
The second is to talk about works: history is the wing, art is the bone, Chinese civilization, and carry forward the hundred generations
Do these things still exist? Take "Douluo Continent" alone, it is really for the sake of quantity without considering quality, and it is seriously commercialized, industrialized and streamlined.
1, the technology has not changed for tens of thousands of years, there is no pursuit and even began to copy peers
In the past, the modeling of Xuanji was the ceiling of the national comic, and the beautiful female characters had characteristics, styles, and personalities. The current mystery is the unchanged modeling style for thousands of years, the man's walk is only a promise, the woman's walking waist can be twisted into a twist, the female corner will never change to wear high heels, and the fans also call it "Xuanji Step".
Which character has high popularity, pay attention to which, use the dead skin filter to make the entire character's face shape into a silicone doll, Qian Yuxue appeared full of light pollution, and all five features were spent; Ning Rongrong's cataract eyes, Liu Erlong's centrifugal hair. Xuanji is not a small workshop, can you use dim sum to match the reputation you have played before?
Now when you have money to do anime, you like to use what unreal engine, character action, expression, mouth type, performance is embarrassing to death, especially the character lip type is not good, resulting in more awkward dubbing, making it the same as the animation film that Blue Fox made 10 years ago.
The most important thing is that Xuanji, as a large domestic manufacturer, is still engaged in plagiarism? Is there a sense of morality in copying domestic counterparts? Fans think that Xuan Ji copied "Five Elements of the Misty Mountains" or looked up to him? What is the difference between this rice circle culture and the traffic star rice circle culture? It's not a family that doesn't enter a door.
These unenterprising technical levels have led to the next door "Spirit Cage" and "Dependent Thoughts", even the modeling of Medusa in "Breaking the Sky" has thrown you a few streets away, and you have also squeezed into the top five of the national comic technology level?
2, technically and content has been left behind is not terrible, the most terrible thing is to be satisfied with the status quo of not thinking of enterprising
The simplest example is the recently concluded "Bad Guy 4", before the theme of the "Cup Mo Stop" and other animations were cut, Wakomori began to cater to fans and popularity, the character damned not to die, should not die suddenly died, and then reversed for the sake of reversal, for the sake of anti-routine and anti-routine problems.
However, as soon as "Bad Guy 4" came out, the national comic rating so far in 2021 was the first, there was progress in technology, and the content was burning and well-spoken and balanced, which immediately made Ruosen turn over.
To tell the truth, Xuan ji is still stronger than Ruosen, but look at how Ruosen used "Bad Guy 4" to turn over.
Finally, now the animation that Xuanji evaluates better is also "Tianbao Fu Demon Record", and the "Qin Shi Mingyue" that is getting worse and worse and reluctant to abandon is not mentioned, and other animations are basically assembly line products under the national comic industry chain. Update stability is stable, but there are really no highlights and advantages.
If the audience is strict, it is really impossible to get their hands on it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="102" > the end</h1>
"Defective products are really full of mysterious mode feelings everywhere, if you don't look at the background settings and character names, the two animations are set into each other to see no sense of contradiction.
On the surface, commercialization is mature, and at a deep level, it is that there is no feature in the assembly line.
It may still have an audience in previous years, because there are fewer similar works on the market, and the audience has too few comparisons and choices. The problem is that there are now too many domestic animations that have breakthroughs in the technical level, advantages, background settings and content.
The animations of "Spirit Cage", "Mortal Immortal Cultivation", and "Reflections" may not be perfect to reach the world-class level, but they have bright spots and their own advantages, which can attract the audience to watch.
For example, the storyline of "Reflections" is too slow to advance, but the excellent modeling and painting style can still be seen.
The animation of "Defective Products", which is not good at both technical level and storytelling level, is naturally not liked by the audience, because the audience watches better animation, and the worse is not competitive, and the market is so realistic and cruel.
Finally, I hope that domestic animation is getting better and better!
