Ancient style animation has sprung up in the Chinese animation industry in recent years, and its profound cultural heritage and exquisite pictures have attracted a large number of audiences. However, behind this antique craze, there are also some controversies worth exploring. Today, we will take a deep look at a number of ancient anime that are talked about by the majority of audiences, and reveal the depth and complexity behind them through the analysis of the authenticity, logic and details of the story.
First of all, we have to mention the authenticity of the stories of these ancient anime. Ancient style animation is often based on ancient Chinese history, myths and legends or martial arts novels, and through rich imagination and artistic processing, it has created one fantasy and more charming world after another. But are these stories ever real, and how do they relate to historical facts?
Taking "The Legend of Mortal Immortal Cultivation" as an example, this work takes immortal cultivation as the theme, telling the story of Han Li, an ordinary boy, who finally became a powerhouse in the immortal cultivation world through unremitting efforts. However, although the concept of cultivating immortals is involved in ancient Chinese culture, it is more in the form of legends and myths. There is no clear record of cultivating immortals in the real history, which makes the authenticity of the story of "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" questioned. Some viewers believe that this work pursues fantasy and excitement too much, ignoring the authenticity of history, thus losing its depth and connotation.
However, there are also viewers who have a different point of view. They believe that the charm of ancient anime lies in its ability to break the shackles of reality and shape a whole new world through imagination and creativity. In this world, people can pursue their dreams and realize their values. Therefore, the authenticity of the story is not the only criterion for measuring the merits of ancient style anime, but more importantly, whether it can resonate and project emotions from the audience.
In addition to the authenticity of the story, logic is also one of the important factors in evaluating ancient style anime. A good work must not only have a compelling storyline, but also a rigorous logical structure. However, in ancient style anime, it is not difficult for us to find some logical loopholes and contradictions.
Taking "Demon Patriarch" as an example, this work takes the struggle between the Demon Dao and the righteous path as the main line, and shows a world full of contradictions and conflicts through complex character relationships and intricate plots. However, in the process of advancing the plot, the handling of some plots seems to be not rigorous enough. For example, the motivations of some characters are not clear enough to make it difficult for the audience to understand the logic behind their decisions, and for example, some plot developments are too abrupt and lack the necessary foreshadowing and transitions, making the whole story seem coherent and incoherent.
These logical loopholes and contradictions have affected the viewing experience of ancient anime to a certain extent. Some viewers believe that if a work can't even justify its basic logic, then it can hardly be called an excellent work. While other viewers believe that antique anime, as a form of entertainment, does not have to be too strict with logical perfection, as long as it can bring visual and emotional enjoyment.
Finally, let's take a look at how antique anime performs in terms of details. Details are an important part of a work, enriching the storyline and enhancing the audience's sense of immersion. However, in ancient anime, some details are not handled carefully and accurately.
For example, in terms of costumes and props, some works ignore the historical background and the characteristics of the times in order to pursue the beauty and visual effect of the picture. This makes it difficult for the audience to feel the charm and breath of ancient culture when watching. For another example, in terms of character building, some works pay too much attention to the appearance and personality traits of the characters, and ignore the portrayal and in-depth excavation of their inner world. This makes the character image appear thin and lacks depth.
Although these shortcomings in details will not have a fatal impact on the overall quality of ancient style anime, they will make the audience feel a little regretful and dissatisfied when watching it. Some viewers believe that if ancient anime can be more attentive and detailed in details, then its viewing experience will be more perfect and outstanding.
To sum up, there are certain controversies and deficiencies in ancient style anime in terms of story authenticity, logic, and details. However, this does not mean that ancient anime does not have value and significance. On the contrary, it is these controversies and shortcomings that prompt us to think more deeply about and explore the connotation and value of ancient style animation. At the same time, it is also expected that the future ancient style animation can make more improvements and promotions in these aspects, and bring a more exciting and perfect visual feast to the audience.
I think that as a popular cultural phenomenon, ancient animation has both depth and controversy. It is not only a modern interpretation of traditional culture, but also a carrier of young people's emotional projection and dream pursuit. Although there may be flaws in the authenticity, logic and details of the story, the ancient style anime does not affect it from becoming the youth memory of a generation. After all, in the fast-paced modern life, what we need more is the touching and resonance that can touch the heart. Ancient animation, with its unique charm, has become the never-fading landscape in our hearts.
