From GAINAX to VIGOR
In 2011, Yoshiyuki Imaishi ran away with a group of key members of the veteran excellent animation company GAINAX, founded THE FLAME Animation Company, and began to produce animation on its own. Just 2 years later, KILL la KILL (hereinafter referred to as "Double Chop") came out as the company's first TV animation, and its excellent quality and excellent reputation made STRIKEGER a hit, and also let everyone remember the name of the supervisor Imaishi Yoyuki.
Like Akiyuki Shinbo (Magic Garden Supervisor, Shinbo 45 ° Source of Evil) and Hideaki Anno (EVA), Yoshiyuki Imaishi's works also have a unique charm that people will never forget, and the formula of this charm is Imashi Yoshiyuki's refinement and self-creation on the basis of the Kaneda style, resulting in a novel performance style, which is "exaggerated" in a word, and this style is also more and more perfected with imaishi in the directing of different works, and finally evolved the final form in "Double Chop"
The exaggerated perspective rules portray the characteristics of the characters very thoroughly, and such illogical distortions make the images of the characters more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and a large number of nonsensical performances and storyboards make the style of the work become novel and fantastic
The inconspicuous acting skills of the characters also make the supposedly violent fight scenes appear humorous and funny
Being able to use two relatively extreme expression techniques very skillfully is the performance of Hiroyuki Imaishi, who is very familiar with the carrier of "animation", and it is this exaggerated performance method combined with rich whimsy that makes "Double Chop" gain a more extraordinary charm, and in terms of character design, the usual wild style of Yuki (Ishizaki Shoufu) also makes each character design enthusiastic
The big sister temperament on the protagonist's body is quite a bit of a female version of the full stream Jiro feeling, and the shy performance of the exposed clothes does not lose the cuteness of the female character, the black sailor suit is matched with the middle two senses of the transformation bracelet, and the seemingly unrelated elements are very cleverly matched
Cool transformations and handsome unique skills also add a lot of color to the character
As a mouth cannon in this game, The manjutsu is designed to be humorous and cute, full of vitality, and can always alleviate the tense atmosphere through those "nonsense" mouth cannons in serious situations.
The sense of disparity caused by the influence of such a character on the plot is also deeply recognized by Hiroyuki Imaishi
As an instinctive word, the "Shenlong Gang" Ghost Dragon Courtyard Gao Yue's thick eyebrows and serious and rigid poker face also reflect the aggressiveness of the strong temperament that is proud of the crowd, in the color design of the work, TRIGGER invited Yukiko, who had participated in the production of "Little Witch Academy", the use of a large number of fluorescent and pink systems, gorgeous cartoon rendering will depict the world in "Double Chop" is inseparable from the virtual reality, with the help of Yukiko Yukiko Ishida's keen intuition for color, the expressiveness of "Double Chop" is also on the basis of the original level.
Imaishi Hiroyuki x Kazuki Nakajima x Hiroyuki Sawano
Located in Tokyo, Japan, Honnōji Gakuen is like an isolated island, and the pyramid-shaped architectural style embodies the explicit class system in an easy-to-understand way
The gap between the rich and the poor in the rich and the slums is also depicted extremely harshly, where clothes are a symbol of class, and clothes of different stars correspond to different classes, so the straightforward class system is simple and chilling, and various strict rules are also oppressive and uncomfortable
The school's narrow classroom is filled with a tense atmosphere, the dim light inadvertently reveals the breath of despair, freedom has been out of stock, obedience is almost the inevitable result of every student, under the suppression of absolute power, everyone no longer looks forward to the hope of resistance, no one cares about the world is abnormal or what is the difference between their own abnormalities, following the rules is what to do at the moment, no one complains that no one fights, maybe there is, but also under the oppression of the powerful is rounded up, the strict management system seems to make everything seem very "harmonious" Unfortunately, the "good scene" is not long, this seemingly self-consistent "harmony" is broken with the arrival of the tangle, the debauched big sister head personality is doomed to the mismatch between the tangle and the instinctive word, the contradiction is inevitable, and the resolution of these conflicts is often carried out in the way of fighting, the quality of the play has naturally become the most direct way to measure the work, although there is no lack of thunderous names in the painting, but in the face of a large number of play shots in "Double Chop", the number of excellent original paintings has also become a problem, in order to solve this problem "Double Chop" chose to use the new technology of three shades and twos, through the rational use of 3D to 2D technology, effectively reducing the workload of the original artist team, and can more smoothly express a group of wonderful pictures.
Of course, the picture alone is not enough to ignite the audience's emotions, the composer invited the famous Hiroyuki Sawano, the usual magnificent style of music is like a Mantos with Coke, with a concise and cool character, painting will stimulate the blood-boiling fight in "Double Chop" to the extreme, accompanied by the sound of BGM, the voice of the tangled streamer shouted out "Human clothes are one!" , so that the overwhelming excitement, with the tension of the picture overflowing the screen, directly hit the audience's heart.
Why did I see only blood in my eyes at the end?!
Unlike other works that base the plot of the hot blood on the basis of the character's previous tragic experience, the blood in "Double Chop" is very pure, and the past of the tangle is not repeated too much in the animation, only mentioning the murder of the father, which makes the purpose of the son of the son very clear - to find the murderer of the father and avenge him, such a simple and clear character position Even if it does not need any excessive tragic experience, it can also make the character image of the character who is persevering deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I have to admire Yoshiyuki Imaishi's profound skill in performance
As a work full of contradictions, the position relationship between the characters in "Double Chop" has become the most important element in this work, with the development of the plot, Tang Liuzi not only met his only friend Manju as Makoto, but also appeared with the ghost Dragon Courtyard Gao Yue who was contrary to his position, when the two met, there was no excessive line burden, a few words will show the position, full of gunpowder atmosphere is about to erupt
With the sound of BGM's explosion, the two jumped up and sworded each other in the air, bound to fight for your life here
Hiroyuki Sawano uses his masterful stirring music to vent his high emotions behind his back, while Hiroyuki Imaishi vividly expresses the blood-boiling emotions in the picture with his own unique and charming exaggerated storyboard
Such a first-class combination of the industry, breaking the audience's previous threshold of feelings about the tension of the picture, with the explosion special effects of the picture in the middle of the mountain cracking straight up into the sky, every swing of the knife by the characters on the screen is like provoking the goosebumps of the audience off-screen, so the ultimate audiovisual enjoyment directly pokes the G-spot of the audience, can't help but make people addicted, but also thanks to such a "drug-like" climax clip, the rhythm of the animation plot is also brought to the sky, other animations may take two or three episodes to tell the story "Double Chop" an episode to get it done, However, even such a fast-paced plot did not make the entire section of the work collapse, and with the blessing of Nakajima Kazuki's high-concentration line information, the plot development of the entire work was smooth and refreshing, while not showing the diaphragm, but also retaining the residual heat of the previous climactic plot.
Of course, this "addiction" of "Double Chop" is not only because the high-burning plot fills the whole film's meat selling shots have also become one of the sources of addiction, under the control of Imaishi, these originally relatively cheesy sensory stimuli have also been blended together, not only did not dominate, but also served the development of the plot as a clue, laying the groundwork for the subsequent story.
La vie est drôle. Life is fun, isn't it?
With the strength of TRIGGER, "Double Chop" has achieved great success in shaping the style of the work, but Hiroyuki Imagishi is clearly not going to stick to the immediate victory. Leaving aside the style of the work that was abolished, what he wanted to express was a deeper reflection on the story, as the tangle flowed step by step into the interior of the instinctual character academy, the puzzles behind it were also thrown out with the emergence of various factions, and the tangle flowing son who was at the intersection of many contradictions was the only one who maintained values similar to normal people, and the determination to avenge his father at all costs, naïve as if the son was offered to the protagonist in the animation, but unfortunately born in this absurd world
From the moment she stepped into the instinctual word, she has been involved in a long-planned revolution, when everything in the past is subverted because the truth is revealed, the blinded reality is gradually exposed, everything she believes in becomes crumbling with the storm of this revolution, the inner entanglement brought about by external conflicts, the impact of values from different positions, and all the problems are thrown to us with the contradictions of these roles.
Ever wondered what your clothes were in the first place? There are too many answers that can be said, maybe you will move the definition of clothes up, but this is not actually the answer that "Double Chop" wants, so let's refine the question a little bit - why do students wear school uniforms? Police officers want to wear police uniforms? Dress at various banquets? I believe that after thinking about it, you should be able to figure out a rough idea - whether people give clothes the function, or clothes give human functions?
There are many theories about the origin of clothes, some say that humans are born to withstand the cold, some say that they are born because of shame, and some say that they are born to reflect identity, but no matter what form of theory, the relationship between people and clothes is often because people have clothes, clothes are present in people's lives as human creations, for this, Nakajima gave a different statement - "It is not that humans wear clothes, but that the creatures that wear clothes become human beings". In Nakajima's view, clothes are involved in human activities as an independent creature, and this idea also determines the worldview of Double Chop as the basic structure of the story
Although this unrealistic statement can not find a basis in reality, but the meaning hidden behind the content is worth scrutinizing, when the abstract concept in reality has a concrete image, the thinking of the problem will be much more convenient, with the power of animation, our usual feelings about contradictions and conflicts can be amplified
"Clothes are symbols of class, clothes of different stars correspond to different classes", such a power system seems obviously ridiculous in the real world, but it is undeniable that when these absurd settings are stripped of their whimsical components, a sense of déjà vu comes over the face, and everything in the fictional world seems to be a reflection of the real world, so using the same method, we will raise Nakajima's view of clothes from "Double Chop" to our dimensions. A slightly abrupt question arises before us – should clothes be above human beings? Is it possible to be welcomed in clothes worth thousands of dollars; to shoot in the clothes of a policeman; to accept bribes in the clothes of officials; to have hobbies other than studying in school uniforms? People are still people, but clothes are different clothes, and while we are surprised by the whimsy of the imaginary world, we also naturally admit that these inconceivable things exist in reality.
