The second OVA of "Re: Another World Life from Scratch", "The Trip of the Ice Knot", was released on Blu-ray a few days ago, and domestic fans can also see it. Briefly describe the impressions of this work
1. It's a lot more conscientious than the first OVA
In 2018, the OVA "Re: Another World Life from Scratch" shown in the form of public release Can be said to be a complete fan-to-welfare, although it was released in the cinema, the duration was also pulled for 1 hour, but it is really an OVA specification animation, almost no plot, daily, to meet some needs of fans, do a very "provincial";
And this "Ice Knot" is much better, at least a theme and a certain story, mainly telling the small story of Emilia's encounter with Parker when she was still alone, for Emilia, Parker, their feelings are still relatively smooth.
Because it is a story of a reminiscence nature, the perspective of the protagonist of this part, Cai Yue, is removed, and it is completely developed from the perspective of Emilia, so the story is more focused, and the production is much better than the production of the previous "provincial material", although it is still not worthy of the kind of production of the theatrical version, but for "Re: Life in Another World from Scratch", it is still worthy of the production level of OVA quality.
Although the story is original, the author Nagazuki Tatsuhira is supervised, giving the party a persuasive reference.
Personally, I think that such a memorable article with stories and feelings is much more powerful than the last 1 hour of procrastination.
2, Emilia shines brightly
Since Emilia has become the main perspective, the audience can get to know the role of Emilia one step closer. To tell the truth, the first season of TV for Emilia, the heroine of the depiction is very small, mainly cai yue pleiades perspective to present the story, including the way to deal with interpersonal relationships, etc. are from the perspective of cai yue pleiades, this time from emilia's point of view, she is gentle, even somewhat soft, but there will be a decisive side in the personality, as well as strong potential, with a heavy description. Emilia and Rem, which is highlighted in this article, are indeed two characters with very different personalities, and the audience can feel a more real and close Amelia in this work;
The depiction of Parker will also change the audience's perception of Parker. Parker's bitter mouth, even the softest side of Parker, as a fan of "Re: Another World From Scratch", is also rare;
3. Supplement and pave the way for the stories before and after
The vignette-like story of "The Stumbling of Ice" introduces the lonely time when Emilia was alone before she went to Rozval's mansion, and we can see that Emilia was resisted and feared by many unsuspecting villagers because of her status as a half-elf; in this worldview, just seeing the gesture of the silver-haired purple pupil reminds people of the evil witch, and will be treated differently, which makes Emilia very distressed, which is also mentioned many times in this story. But there is not enough detail to describe the part.
The flashes of the story should be Emilia's adoptive mother Fortuna and the laziness of her youth...
The two of them are raising young Emilia, the picture above is a novel illustration, and the appearance of the two flashes in the animation is the first time;
That is to say, although this story is not a serious main plot, it has made a small completion for the entire worldview, Emilia's part, and also paved the way for the story of the second season, and also prepared for the second season of Rem's retirement from the second line, and Emilia will stand firmly in the heroine.
