Over the years, when it comes to the gods in anime and manga works, it will become the fuse of the battle. In fact, everyone has their own views on a work "God is not God", "Why God", "To what extent" and Xiaobian also welcomes everyone to express their opinions. After all, there are a thousand Reinhardts in the eyes of a thousand people (mistakenly), but xiaobian still prefers Yang.
Well, far from it, the editor wants to say: There is such a work now, and no one can say that it is not a "divine work".
No, no, no, Xiaobian did not want to raise the meaning of Osamu Tezuka this time, in fact, in addition to the work of the "god of manga" Osamu Tezuka, which is a well-deserved god work in the hearts of most manga artists, there is another work that is a well-deserved "god work".
This work is the "Biography of Saint Brother" with the two "gods" of Rulai and Jesus as the protagonists.
The Legend of The Holy Brother
what? In the face of a work with two major religious handles as the protagonists, do you dare to say that it is not god enough? Believe it or not believers in two of the world's great religions carrying kitchen knives... Oh, I'm sorry, it seems that the believers of these two major religions are not so extreme now, after all, the era of the Crusades has passed...
Perhaps, it is precisely because the author Nakamura Hikaru realized that the era of the Crusaders had passed, so he dared to create a story like "The Biography of The Holy Brother": Yi Rulai and Jesus went on vacation to the Netherworld, and then experienced a series of "daily life on earth" as the content, pinching him a lot of religious stems.
After all, the saints also have to eat!
"The Legend of The Brother" is a comic strip serialized in Kodansha manga magazine Morning Two, and Nakamura Hikaru has another work that is still serialized, that is, the equally famous "Arakawa Hilarious Troupe".
The TV series adapted from this manga also has a lot of memes
In the biography of The Holy Brother, the reader can not only see how the two "saints" lived in the human world, but also see famous roles in religion and history, such as "the thirteen disciples of Christ" and "the ten disciples of The Buddha". The appearance of these characters means constant laughter, but if you don't understand the religious memes, you may not get the comics to pinch him, such as the holy light behind Rulai, the thorns on the top of Jesus' head, and so on.
At the same time, as a work of religious fantasy, "The Biography of Saint Brother" naturally has to be guest starred in by Olympian gods such as Zeus, who often appears in the scene... I have to say that Zeus, they are really busy, and sure enough, now there are no believers who have to go out to earn money to support their families...
Of course, this comic does not use vicious means to denigrate the "saints" in those religions, but adapts the life experiences of these famous characters as a feature, on the contrary, it is a work that most believers will not feel angry after reading it.
As a manga that began serialization in 2006, "The Legend of The Holy Brother" released an OAD animation in 2013.
As in the animation
The live-action TV series will be broadcast on October 12 this year, that is, yesterday.
The director of the TV series is Yuichi Fukuda, and the two protagonists are Kenichi Matsuyama and Shota Someya.
Hong Kong is available for release!
Of course, there are also people who are upset that the original comic is aimed at a religious saint. Xiao Bian felt that there was nothing to complain about, who could guarantee that the real saints would not live like this? In the new era, when the sense of strangeness and distance is erased, can't the saints seen be like this?
Why don't saints live like ordinary people? In this era, saints can eat and sleep and play games, and of course, they can also take the subway to watch animations and make phone calls.
For friends who are really obsessed with too much, Xiaobian wants to share a sentence in the Diamond Sutra:
"All appearances are illusory. If you see that the phases are not phases, you see them as they are. ”
