Most of the animations you've seen before about ghost themes are warm and funny. And what we want to talk about today is the same ghost theme, but it is a story of killing ghosts, why say so, let me take you into the world of the ghost blade!
Devil's Blade is based on the manga of the same name created by Hu Shiqing. The animation is produced by ufotable.
The story is set in a world with ogres. Legend has it that after the sun went down, evil spirits haunted and ate people. There are also ghost hunters who kill evil spirits to protect people. Tanjiro's family is very poor, and in the case of heavy snow, they even go to the city to sell charcoal to subsidize the family.
Tanjiro went down the mountain to sell charcoal, and the people in the town were polite to the male protagonist, and no one cared about Tanjiro's family situation. Thanks to their blessing, Tanjiro sold out the charcoal before the sun went down.
When he was about to go back into the mountain, he was stopped by Saburo's grandfather and stayed at his house for one night.
When he returned in the morning, he saw that his home had been attacked and that his only surviving sister had become a ghost. In order to make his sister Youdouzi turn back into a human, under the guidance of the ghost hunter Tsuyoshi, Tanjiro went to the Narrow Mist Mountain to worship, and later stood out in the audition of the ghost killing team, and finally joined the ghost killing team. The story of the sad brothers and sisters intertwined with man and ghost begins now!
The setting of the early stages of this work is very similar to that of other juvenile hot-blooded comics. But unlike others, there is a problem in this comic that many readers are very "criticized": too many psychological descriptions. Because there are too many psychological descriptions, even the reader feels that this part is very "nagging" and cannot be read.
In the anime, the UFO Society did not delete these psychological descriptions, but directly copied the lines above the original manga. Many UP also made related spit videos to spit this paragraph of "nonsense" too much.
Why is the psychological depiction of "nonsense" not removed in the animation? For example, when Tanjiro came home to find that his whole family had been killed, he did not cry loudly, but shouted, and Tanjiro was very afraid in his heart. After feeling that his sister still had body temperature, he carried his sister all the way, and his heart was also very remorseful. This is also in line with people's inner feelings when they encounter disasters. So this section has a lot of psychological monologues in the anime.
Without these psychological monologues, this paragraph is estimated to become a silent drama. The audience can only see Tanjiro walking with his sister on his back, but can't see what Tanjiro wants to express in his heart. So that's why the UFO Club didn't delete this inner monologue but kept it in front of the audience.
UFOtable, the production company of this game, UFOtable, has produced "Fate/Zero" and "Today's Meal of the Wei palace family"
"Theatrical Version of Fate/Stay Night [Heaven's Feel]", "Theater Version of The Realm of Emptiness", etc. There are also outstanding performances in this work.
The first is the 3D insertion in the picture, which does not cause a serious sense of violation of the picture. On the contrary, it is a bright spot!
In the manga, Tanjiro's skill Water Breath is not depicted too much, and it is shown in the form of ukiyo-e in the anime. It is hard to lament that the UFO Society is really awesome!
Although the animation production is very strong, the recent blowing up of the UFO Society's tax evasion problem may affect this work and the HF chapter 3 that will be released in the future. Hopefully, it won't have much of an impact!
Of course, the soundtrack of the game is also very good, and the soundtrack in the anime is composed of Yuki Kajiura and Shiina Hiroshi.
Yuki Kajiura doesn't need to talk to everyone more, and sends Kajiura Daijin. The epic musician's songs and soundtracks in works such as Magical Girl Circle, Fate Zero, Sword Art Online, and Arslan Wars have been well received. Her popularity has soared as her workload has soared, and along with Yoko Kanno, Akira Shinju, and Ryoko Okazaki, she has been called "the four talented women of the Japanese anime music industry" by anime fans.
Shiina Hao, perhaps everyone is very unfamiliar, but most of the soundtrack of the first episode was completed by him. He was once a composer affiliated with Bandai Namco. He is active in animation works such as "Jingsao Drama Painting", "Magical Girl Sisters Youyou and Ning Ning", "Fish: Creepy Creep", "Dimension W", "Love Legend X" and so on. He left his job in 17 years and is now working full-time on the soundtrack for animation.
The OP of the anime is played by popular singer LiSA. ED is by The DefinitionJunction feat. LiSA is responsible.
