was ridiculed by the group for his appearance, and the whole network apologized after the broadcast, and collectively "recognized his daughter"? What's so good about her?
What should the heroine of a campus fan look like?
"Journey of Youth".
Pure, long hair, cute big-eyed cute girl.
"Miss Kaguya wants me to confess".
Tsundere, cold beauty.
Recently, a campus fan was complained of being too "popular".
Simply put, it is not only ordinary looking, but even too many whites of the eyes, especially compared with the male protagonist, well, the contrast is strong.
But after getting to know her further, netizens apologized one after another.
This is not a "common woman", this is our "female goose" ah:
Vibrant youth
"Natsume Friends Account" series director's new work.
Based on the manga of the same name by Misaki Takamatsu.
Douban 9.5, as high as 9.9 on station B, once popular to the second best result of fan drama.
Why is it all said good?
Just because of its clean ingredient list:
In addition to 100% pure youth, but no additives at all!
01
Popular physique
The heroine was not looked at at at first, it was nothing more than two words: real.
And this is also something that most idol dramas and youth dramas cannot do.
Like that "So Many Years", the heroine Xiaomei is a "top student" who was admitted to an urban middle school from the countryside.
Homely.
Have a confident heart, but in the face of reality, the situation is full of situations.
This day was her first appearance: to speak on behalf of new students at the entrance ceremony.
Who knew that as soon as he walked into the subway, he would ... Lost!!!
What's the situation? Can you get lost on the subway?
Yes, if you look at the map of the Tokyo Metro, these well-connected lines are densely phobic for people who have just moved from the countryside to the big cities.
What to do?
Seeing that time passed little by little, and the opening ceremony had begun, she could only hide in a corner in annoyance, silently in a daze, blaming herself...
Right at this time.
A savior named Shima appears. (but not surnamed Xu)
Like the movie "So Many Years", Shima is a local, has a "mine" at home, and does not care about learning, but it is such a person that makes Xiaomei see hope like a straw.
Wait a minute.
Speaking of which, you may ask: isn't this a normal love affair?
No, no, no.
In fact, although "Leaping Youth" arranged such a role of "Prince Charming" for Xiaomei, there are not many descriptions of the two in the entire drama.
More is how Xiaomei blends into this "new" environment.
Take her first appearance, for example.
One second he finished memorizing the speech, and the next second he vomited because of nervousness and discomfort.
- Embarrassment.
Let's say she introduces herself in class.
After hesitating again and again, he told the "man on people" cold joke that he had been preparing for a long time, and the result was directly cold.
- More embarrassing.
If you change to an average person.
Dying again and again in this way may cause a whole inner closure, and thus become lonely and sensitive.
But what about Xiaomei.
The reason why she is popular with many people is because she does not escape this embarrassing situation at all.
She will face every embarrassing moment with a sincere attitude.
The first time she went to KTV with her classmates, she took out her pocket money from her wallet and wanted to pay first, but was told to sing first and pay later. Back table Meijia deliberately exposed her first visit to KTV.
As a result, she did not hide the embarrassment of her first visit.
While fumbling with the operation of the song, he looked at the people around him curiously, as if he had entered a different world.
I was very confident that I had a good song, and I ended up ordering a childish children's song.
Everyone's atmosphere was also heated up by her.
The first time I went to Star Mark, I ordered my favorite drink.
She is not afraid of others laughing at her for "dirt buns", and asks if the transparent lid on the drink can be opened?
Friends were moved by her simple curiosity, and they were like seeing a newborn duckling in the water, full of the old mother's relief.
Just big nerves?
No.
Sometimes she hesitated.
Once, she was reminded to be careful with Meijia's calculations.
Thereupon.
Later, when Kinomoto-san asked her if the rabbit pinned to her clothes was an ornament, she hesitated.
Is she laughing at me?
But I turned around and thought again: the classmate I just met should not have any bad intentions.
Finally, he answered her generously.
Really.
Not only did the classmate have no bad intentions, but even pinned her hair card to her clothes pocket like Xiaomei the next day, and specially came to greet her.
So to speak.
Sincerity is always a must-have.
It's like a scene in an anime.
When Shima invited her to touch her fluffy hair, she actually got started.
At this time, Xiaomei is our ideal, the embodiment of that beauty.
So under such a premise.
What does it matter if it's beautiful or not?
02
How we see the world
But is it just sincerity?
No.
More is the way we see the world.
With the naked eye, this society has become more and more complex.
Because of interests, because of positions, because of those ridiculous and sad water and fire incompatibility, it is difficult for us to fully expose ourselves in the face of others.
Not to mention.
Only see the beauty of others.
A contrast, Xiaomei and classmate Meijia.
In "Leaping Youth", several seniors robbed Xiaomei and Meijia of the territory where they practiced volleyball.
What is the way the two people deal with each other?
Meijia:
She remembered the name of the enemy and planned to report to the teacher later.
Mei:
Noting the name on the shoe, they remembered the name of the benefactor who passed by to help them teach their senior.
Quite the opposite.
This incident made Meijia suffered.
She finally figured out why everyone can become friends with Xiaomei, and she always can't get the sincere treatment of others.
Xiaomei always sees the good side in others, so she treats them very kindly.
And Meijia, because of the experience of being misunderstood, became oversensitive and worried about her injury, and the first thing she noticed was that others hurt her.
Yes.
To put it in chicken soup, whether I am bruised or not, I will believe in the beauty of this world.
Because how the world is depends entirely on your gaze.
What you see, it is.
So the anime spends a lot of space on observations of campus life.
Like socializing.
The strong social atmosphere is not a good thing for some people, and it is easy for people with social fear to fall into a situation of isolation.
So for the boys who constantly exude social exuberance, there will also be girls passing by who will start to complain ruthlessly with contemptuous eyes.
Like learning.
Except for the male protagonist and Meijia, everyone is studying very hard.
Shima, who missed class because of his lack of energy on a rainy day, had a small friction with Xiaomei, who was worried about him, and was distressed, and ran to talk to Fa Xiao.
Fa Xiao can only put down his studies and listen to gossip.
Such as seeing each other's good points.
Xiaomei knows that Meijia doesn't like her, but she will definitely give real feedback.
So I chose her to teach myself volleyball.
Yes.
If you expect an animation of pure love, expect an animation of blood and blood, "Leaping Youth" may disappoint you.
As manga writer Misaki Takamatsu said, she doesn't want to make the heroine a hero who saves people.
But it is precisely because of the ordinariness of the heroine.
We see more, good qualities that we have long lacked.
and, the way we are accustomed to seeing the world.
The world needs mutual trust to become better.
Perhaps friendships will keep going up and down.
Maybe endless exams will upset you.
But as long as you open your heart to each other and take every little thing seriously, the world will get better and better.
03
Does appearance really matter?
So back to the question at the beginning:
In a work, does the appearance of the protagonist really matter?
Just like "The Little Mermaid", many people complain that the heroine is too ugly.
Or "Spider-Man: Across the Universe", some people also spit on the protagonist is "black".
Appearance, turned into an admission card for a work?
That's right. Sometimes, appearance is indeed the first step to pull us in.
Especially idol dramas and costume dramas. In a way, they can project our fantasies and ideals.
After all, few people would fantasize about an unforgettable love affair with a rough man like Li Kui, right?
But as we get older. As we gradually see the reality of this world.
We will also understand that those marshmallow-like worlds can only live in idol dramas after all.
People are supposed to be diverse.
And in "Leaping Youth", what we see will not be a vacuum world.
Even, teenagers and girls face social anxiety, appearance anxiety, love anxiety, self-discipline anxiety...
Even the anxiety we can't escape.
For example, someone is out of place.
Some people engage in small groupism.
There are also intrigues.
What the animation does, is render it and tell us:
It doesn't matter whether the so-called is right or wrong. The so-called love-hate entanglement is also not important. What matters is whether you leave an unforgettable memory, a sincere friendship.
The director said: "I hope that those who are struggling with relationships watching it can get cues in the heroine's interaction with other people and reduce social pressure." ”
Simply put, this is a gift for ordinary people.
So.
Such a work, if the heroine is a high-value that everyone loves, isn't it a paradox? Finally, let's talk about this comic.
In the original work, I especially like this sentence: whether you are a boy or a girl, a primary school student or a grandfather, I will like you, so I want to make friends with you. On the surface, it's just talking about camaraderie.
But in fact, it also expresses the attitude of this work: in this world. We should be tolerant of those diversity.
Male and female in gender, ugly and beautiful in appearance.
In the presence of human emotions. Nothing.
