Maybe some people don't know very well what is called a reverse A cartoon. Simply put, reverse A animation is an animation program founded by Fuji Television in Japan in 2004, and its column name notiamina is the reverse writing of animation (animation).
Its purpose is to reverse the common sense of animation, and its goal is not to attract otaku but to attract people who do not watch animation in the middle of the night to watch animation in the middle of the night. Therefore, the cartoons that can be inverted A animation photos are generally unique in style and theme.
For example: "Library War", "Genji Story Millennium", "East of Eden", "Silver Key", "Boat Chronicle" and so on.
"I want to cry but I can't cry." Why am I here? The chaotic state can't go anywhere. Who is this for? For what? ”
"Summer Snow Secret Meeting" naturally will not be a work of idleness, this is a super realistic animation, the emotional entanglement of the three protagonists is delicately portrayed, it is a sadistic and warm work.
<h1>"It's me who wants to cry" vs "I hate it."</h1>
The elderly young Ye Yue fell in love with the florist Liuhua, and every weekend holiday would disguise herself as a regular customer to buy small potted plants before returning home in the evening, just to get back the sad and cheap satisfaction of finding change, and then repeat the aftertaste over and over again until nightfall. The plants he bought grew luxuriantly, as leafy as his love for the six flowers.
Although Ye Yue has always taken care of Liuhua to be able to interact with Liuhua really, she has even become an employee in the flower shop and gets along with Liuhua day and night. But Rokuka's nostalgia for her dead ex-husband goes deep into the marrow, and when she is most vulnerable and uncomfortable crying, she still wants to rely on her dead ex-husband Shimao. "It's me who wants to cry" is probably the truest portrayal of Ye Yue's feelings.
The dead ex-husband Shimao has been thinking about whether it is more painful to leave it alone or the one that was left behind? Shimao wants Rokuhana to be happy and doesn't want to give Rokuhana to anyone, and Shimao feels conflicted and bitter about this.
When Rokuka cried after his death that he didn't want him to leave, he decided not to go anywhere and stayed by her side. Although he knew everything about Liuhua as a wandering soul, he couldn't do anything for Liuhua. When Liuhua had a cold and fever, he couldn't even cover her with a blanket.
No matter what, Liuhua's life will continue, and Ye Yue, the person who fell in love with Liuhua, appeared. Because he didn't want to give up The Six Flowers to Ye Yue, Shimao kept blocking from it, but it still didn't help.
Shimao had a high fever when he was young, which caused hearing damage in his right ear, so Rokuka basically walked on his left, and the left side unconsciously became his acquiescence seat. But his acquiescence seat was snatched away by Ye Yue.
"I hate it so much" is probably the most expressive sentence for her dead ex-husband.
<h1>Fairy tale vs reality</h1>
"Can't touch, can't speak, can't see" is the most painful thing for Shimaio. His nostalgia for Liuhua is a stumbling block to liuhua's new step.
So when Ye Yue said to Shimao, "Give me Rokuka", and when Ye Yue said to Rokuka, "I don't care if I do it for the second time in my life" and hugged each other; deeply touching his pain points and making his mentality unbalanced, Oshima began to doubt the meaning of his stay here. Driving Ye Ye Yue out of his and Liuhua's bedroom became a declaration of his claim to ownership.
He was jealous that Ye Yue had a real physical body and could have the possibility of the future with Liuhua, but he could only stay where he was forever and watched as he could not participate. So he wanted to have Ye Yue's body.
When Ye Yue is confused about her relationship with Rokuka and worries that she can't help but let the other party show the same happy smile that she had when she was with Shimao, Shimao gets the opportunity to possess Ye Yue's body. Being able to have a substantial body, being able to touch Rokka again, and talking to her is a fairy tale unfolding for Shimao.
Ye Yue, whose body had been stripped away, had the opportunity to understand the mood of the dead who had not been interested in her before.
Ye Yue enters the picture book that Shimao scribbled and scribbled in the boring time of the hospital before he died, where he encounters Rokuka in the picture book, and Rokuka takes him to the fairy tale world depicted by Shimao.
Ye Yue realized that although Shimao always pretended to be calm and indifferent, he was trying his best to live in order to reverse his life.
Shimao is a regular visitor to the hospital because he is weak and sick since childhood. Therefore, many of his companions' natural hiking sports are not related to him, so they unconsciously habitually give up. In Liu Hua's view, it was dangerous to forcibly kill helpless things and depressed feelings. But Liuhua may not know that for Liuhua, he can't easily say give up no matter what.
Shimao, who had gained his body, asked Rokuka for the clothes he had worn before he was born, and Rokuka Yoshimasa refused verbally, and Shimao couldn't help but shed tears -- I think at that time he experienced Rokuka's nostalgia for him.
But also by seizing Ye Yue's body, Shimao realizes that Ye Yue is a strong and introverted poor youth. At the same time, he also deeply and painfully realized the significance of Ye Yue's existence to Liuhua.
It is precisely because of this realization that Shimao wants to take advantage of this fairytale moment to fall in love with Rokuhana. It is precisely because he loves Liuhua as Ye Yue that he truly appreciates the true feelings between Ye Yue and Liu Hua.
So Shimao left his last trace on Rokuka's neck, the bite mark, and finally returned his body to Ye Yue, allowing Ye Yue to return to the real world to guard Rokuka's life.
"There's no need to eliminate it, force yourself, pretend it's okay, obviously like it very much but you have to forget." Ye Yue's idea of acknowledging and accepting Shimao's existence redeems Rokka's guilt and gives her the courage to take a step forward in the pursuit of happiness. The mutual understanding and compromise between two men reflects the attitude that a mature emotional outlook should have, and mutually achieves the happiness of the three parties.
<h1>Aimer vs Yuya Panasonic</h1>
Aimer and Matsushita also sang the ending and opening songs of "Summer Snow Secret Meeting" respectively. The two echo each other, and in my opinion, they are the mutual confessions of Rokuhana and Shimao respectively. I think a lot of people know how good Aimer and Matsushita yu sing, so they don't need to talk about it.
I know Aimer not through "Future City No.6", "Death God", and "Natsume Friends' Account", but instead comes from the ending song "Summer Snow Secret Society", "Summer Snow Secret Society". "If there is a wish that can be fulfilled, I want to touch you again. Feel the sun shining on that day, and feel that it is so good to be born in this world.
If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have felt such heart-wrenching pain. Even so, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have understood being strong and gentle. Close your eyes and I can feel your presence. "This lyric is simply Rokuka's confessional love letter to Shimao."
Similarly, I know Matsushita Yu not through "The Tale of the Headless Horseman" and "Black Deacon", but through the ending song SEE YOU from "Summer Snow Secret Society".
Shimao's words to Rokuhana are condensed in the lyrics: "Your dream is my dream, it gives me the same light of hope, and I will support you to the end." I have believed in you since the day I exchanged agreements. Say goodbye softly to each other, and you have given happiness that belongs only to me. ”
Xia Xuecao's flower language is innocent thoughts and memories, ランデブー is a foreign language: derived from the French "randez-vous" It contains the meaning of: appointment, appointment, meeting and other rich meanings. The name of this anime work is exactly the same as its theme: a secret date full of innocent thoughts and memories.
"Summer Snow Secret Meeting" describes the love of mature young people: do not force yourself to forget the feelings you once liked, do not eliminate its existence, and cherish the warmth and innocence that have been harvested, but you cannot turn it into a stumbling block to the pursuit of happiness. When happiness comes knocking at the door, please take a brave step forward and hug it tightly.
