Why do some characters get a mole in some strange part?
Because it's a visual guide.
What makes people feel worthy of returning (fan) taste (fu) no (ba) poor (wan) is more precious.
【Introduction】
If you haven't read the manga, it's boring to watch "The Kingdom of the Realist Brave" alone. In the early stage of the animation work, a lot of space was spent on the production and construction of "decent", compared with the next door "Reincarnated as the Evil Miss who Only Otome Game Destroyed Flag Season 2" emphasizes the "self-sufficient" farming culture, and this work is half dead at the beginning.
However, compared with the light novel adaptation of another "Detective Dead" next door, this "The Re-establishment of the Kingdom of the Realist Brave" is a bit of a steady and steady feeling -
Many people are looking forward to "The Detective Is Dead", to a large extent, looking forward to the white-haired girl, although they know that this girl will receive a bento at the beginning, and the plot will appear in other forms, but in fact, the work of special ability, love, and reasoning is actually "three dips and no sticks", which is really a bit of a soup dumpling - biting a light skin, but can not suck any fragrant soup juice, quite a sense of deception and deception.
"The Re-construction of the Kingdom of the Realist Brave" seems to be a cross-world crossing, and there are also traditional gameplays of high-end empowerment, plug-in chaos, and upside-down sticking of sisters, but when it comes to "kingdom re-construction", there is a sense of grounded "abnormality", for example, governing the country must first solve the people's food problems, "outside must first be safe inside", far and close attack, etc.
On the whole, playing politics does need to be like playing chess, step by step - governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, cooking is like the joy of bed, foreplay is more important.
However, as we have discussed many times before, today's social culture always emphasizes "short and fast", playing a mobile game is best to dominate the full service in 3 hours, watching a drama is best to have high-energy light pollution in the 3rd episode, this kind of thinking of "directly pounding the yellow dragon" aside from the early warm and soft language, too eager for quick success, less aftertaste, not necessarily a good thing.
If good things are like good tea, then you must simmer some flames slowly, patiently wait for the aroma to overflow, that is the taste of tea, is a realm. Therefore, we must also learn to compromise ourselves - the upfront charge of good works always has boring chanting moments.
Because at present (as of episode 3) we have no idea how the anime will be adapted to the manga part, nor do we know how the anime will be produced into the first part of the manga, I don't know what the comprehensive texture of the anime presents, but as the current plot of the manga, "The Kingdom of the Realist Warriors" is more like a "historical political drama" borrowed from the name of another world.
Notice that this is the "drama", just like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
[1] Plot and character design: Obviously it is a harem drama, but the harem has its own surface
At present, the naked eye can see the various other worlds through the ban, and the harem has almost become the standard. The existence of harem dramas can not only enrich the personalities of different characters through various events to promote the main plot, but also trigger audience discussions - and the harem here is not necessarily a man and a woman, it can also be a woman and a man, and it can also be the admiration of the protagonist.
In "The Rebuilding of the Kingdom of the Realist Brave", the male protagonist Soma Ichi is also a summoned crosser, and must bring his own buff - here the author gives him the "ability to govern", perhaps the so-called "foreign monks will chant", and the Soma Ichi who accepts Zen actually revitalizes a poor and weak country, and also makes the princess of the original kingdom, the daughter of the former king, from the previous passive to the fiancée (princess), and gradually developed admiration for the male protagonist.
At the same time, like the elven goddess of war [Aixia], the spy but not completely hostile force [Jula], one of the three dukes of the admiral, the Empire's Maria Euphoria and Joan of Arc Euphoria also have different senses of "favor" for the male protagonist for political purposes.
Judging from the current manga process, the emotional line between [Soma Kazuya] and the heroine [Lysia] is also clear, and it is not clear that this is another style of "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine" - it seems that the sisters of various roads are close to the upside down, but the male protagonist is "three thousand weak water only take a scoop to drink".
So, what is this show trying to show?
I think it's a conspiracy.
But this kind of conspiracy is not the conspiracy and conspiracy in the history books that we come into contact with, and the conquest and killing are all at the extreme.
The manuscripts of animation and manga are all light novels, as we talked about before in [some thoughts on online literature, light novels and traditional literature], a light novel wants to be successful in the market, not to see how deep your work has, but to see if you can please the majority of readers, even if it is [vulgar], but also to get good market feedback.
Here I think of another example, a well-known shopping software [Pinxixi] in order to maximize the user retention rate, before adding a short video section. Short videos, common is a variety of beautiful and delicious little sisters to show the beauty of their curves, this edge ball is just right.
So, do you say this is [vulgar]? Yes, maybe [vulgar], but it does work – content based on the human underpinnings is always something that people can linger on, and can be "color", "money" (a few cents of small profits), and the common "cool" in light novels!
This also explains why, in terms of plot design, After crossing to the other world, [Soma Kazuya] would directly become the king, and then immediately think of dealing with the kingdom's treasure to deal with the financial crisis. In contrast, the previous kings and officials actually did not think of this method, is it not a pile of waste in the whole country?
Not really, if, like traditional martial arts stories, a small red guy (such as Yang Guoba) needs to suffer all kinds of grievances to become a party overlord, this kind of long cycle story is no longer suitable for the mainstream routine of light novels. Writing articles is also like fashion, economy, there is its cycle, as long as people do not change, the cycle of habits will continue to change.
Today's market routine for light novels is to start by hanging buff directly – strictly speaking, it is the way that readers of that era were accustomed to when the author first began to submit articles on the website "Become a Novelist" in 2016.
Of course, this design is also completed in the subsequent plot - that is, the queen has a special ability to pass on the message to her past self. The decisions made by the king and queen at the moment are the most preferred choice for each possible future retrospective.
Oh, isn't that the same as Doctor Strange in Avengers suggesting that Iron Man "only has 1 choice" is the only way to save the world?
If you can accept and understand such a background, I believe that you can not be too harsh on the design of many "counter-common sense" in the plot -
For example, in order to solve the food crisis, the popularization of octopus as a seafood in a country suspected of being an agrarian society is significantly less practical. At the same time, since there is magic, it is possible to use earth spells to boost the output of crops.
At the same time, in a world with magical settings, the "ruler" can use [mind control], and the "conquest" can directly use the magic array to directly destroy across space, rather than the siege scene of the medieval cold weapon era in the plot.
Deferred by the plot, it is the character design.
I only read comics and knew nothing about the author's characterization in light novels. From the comics alone, the personality display of different characters is not prominent, and there is a lack of visible edges and corners. Whether it's the protagonist group or the villain group.
For example, in the first wave of plot small climax of the "Conquest of the Three Dukes", the plot has always shaped the Army Grand Duke as the strongest rebel against the first villain with the heaviest plot, but the final plot presentation feels like "a punch on the cotton" - too soft and spongy.
Although the many reversals designed here are indeed eye-catching, if you look at it from the perspective of the script, the climax of this stage of the plot is bound to highlight the arc of the character, so that the personality display of different characters is more substitutionary. Instead of just plain and simple, the "three princes" were surrendered.
Considering that the military master [Hakya Kuomi] is translated as "Kong Ming" in some manga translations, I don't know if this is derived from the Japanese meaning of the name. In any case, the mention of [Kong Ming] seems to mean that the author still wants to play a big game - but if it doesn't work, it depends on the author's talent for the story.
[2] Metaphors of politics and reality: If you only read "Monarchical Theory", the pattern is shallow
In the manga (anime), the protagonist Kazuya Soma often borrows ideas from Machiavelli's "Monarch" to expound his own concept of governing the country. Considering that the cover of the first volume is a "tribute" to Napoleon's classic portrait, "Napoleon Across the St. Bernard Pass in the Alps", the main line of the entire work is mostly the idea of "unifying the world".
When it comes to the "law of domination", "The Monarch" is definitely among the most influential books in the West, and the author's "innuendo" of the theoretical and practical events in the book in "The Re-establishment of the Kingdom of the Realist Brave" makes the work look very interesting.
(Speaking of which, it is completely possible to mix in some books such as "The Theory of the Social Contract" and "On the Spirit of law")
Pick a few details that you can say.
For example, the tool of public opinion [Yuyin]. (This translation is really awkward)
To put it bluntly, this is live television. In order to win the support of the American people for the government, Roosevelt's fireside talk can be described as "a classic within a classic." Many times, people prefer spiritual comfort to the de facto truth. From the perspective of dissemination, those in power can completely publish only a part of what they want the public to know, so as to achieve the purpose of "wanting to cover up".
After the occupation of the Principality of Amidonia, Soma Kazuya and others used Yuyin to teach the originally repressed Spartan residents of the Principality a "vivid lesson" - a country full of joy and can sing at will is the right thing to be free! (Well, another example of singing to save the world)
The fatality of this approach is a bit of a "from frugality to luxury, from luxury to frugality", once the people experience the pleasure of [freedom], then the future ruling line of the Principality of Amedonia is bound to emphasize the proportion of entertainment (please remember entertainment until death). Otherwise, without further violent institutions maintaining the control of public opinion (entertainment), there will be resistance from the whole people – which is equivalent to indirectly weakening the foundations of Gaius Armedonia's rule.
In fact, there is also a metaphor (probably) here, that is, about [Caesar] and [Octavian], the original ruler of the Principality of Amidonia was Julius Armidonia, and his son, the later ruler, was Gaius Armidoña.
And the full name of Caesar in ancient Rome was "Gaius Julius Caesar", Caesar's adopted son, the later Roman emperor Octavian's full name was "Gaius Octavian Augustus"—this is still a bit interesting.
Huh.
Another example is the long-distance and close-range attack.
Judging from the current plot line of the manga, the Glencaios Empire and the Kingdom of Elfridon have concluded a secret pact, and the two sides will also set up embassies for each other. I speculate that the author here is some historical archetype, but there are no very straightforward clues.
The Empire is the female ruler, and the historical great countries have empresses and temporary representatives of Britain and Tsarist Russia, and the representative figures are Queen Victoria and Tsarist Catherine II. The Empress of the Empire has the nickname of The Virgin, and the Christian Mary is not only the Virgin, but also the Virgin, who gave birth to Jesus while maintaining her virginity.
As for Joan of Arc, the most famous in history is naturally the French national hero [Joan of Arc]. If you do this, the empire has the shadow of Britain, France and Russia.
Of course, putting the Demon King's territory in the north can also have another explanation.
As for the Eastern Union and the Kingdom, it is a buffer between the Demon King's Lord and the Kingdom of Elfridon. I wondered, is [Eastern Union and Country] the original Japanese text? Or a paraphrase of the translation team? If the "alliance of the east" is to resist the buffer belt of a certain "force", if this is combined with reality, it will lead to more content.
In short, if the author really hides a lot of details in the setting, this work is really worth savoring. Of course, I personally prefer to be my own over-interpretation, otherwise, in case the author "at this time silence is better than sound", I am afraid that it is not another political event.
By the way, as for the "spy war", "adjusting the tiger away from the mountain", "waiting for work with ease", "sound east to hit the west", etc. involved in the plot, it is an interesting highlight, probably Tu Yile.
[3] Summary: Not like a light novel in a serious light novel
The "values" of common Japanese light novels are like pseudo-concepts, and they rarely add some big and empty things such as family and country feelings. And this "Realist Warrior's Kingdom Reconstruction" has the illusion of preaching that "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight".
[Soma Ichiya] was originally just a mortal who wanted to be a king temporarily, after tasting the sweetness of power, he began to gradually face his ambitions and responsibilities again, if the author can write well from this point of origin, in fact, he can achieve a good work - when the unification of the world is completed, it is a more common and appropriate way to deal with the story abruptly.
If "serious light novels" revolve around "funny", then "The Kingdom of the Realist Brave" should be that the author hides a lot of his own private goods under the appearance of "pleasing readers". You could even say that the author is a bit of a "keyboard politician" – after all, the top-down design of those in power is very different from the bottom-up look of ordinary people.
But the thought of someone willing to write such a story in the "framework of light novels" is also a "clear stream".
The real "politics" is the "politics" behind the history books, the politics of both clearing and turbidity, and the politics under trade-offs -- far from the legend of "commanding the world and who dares not obey".
The law of domination involves [Dharma], [Technique], and [Tao]. The so-called "law" is the law and regulation, which is something on the surface; and the "technique" can be understood as a social moral norm, and can also be understood as a means of enwei and the use of grace and power, which is something that is not on the surface; as for the "Tao", it is "Dao, not the Tao", which is between the light and the dark, and the relationship between in-laws, public opinion offensives, Spring and Autumn brushwork, etc., can be included.
But as mentioned above, it is impossible for the original light novel to talk about these contents [in a simple way] - if it is really talked about, it is difficult for the work to succeed. Because it is not popular at all, and the public may not understand and need not understand.
Looking at it from a higher dimension, the public prefers simple happiness.
Therefore, whether it is a comic book or an animation of "The Re-establishment of the Kingdom of the Realist Brave", perhaps we can see the author's heart from a certain angle, but in the end it is just an embellishment. (What's more, with what is preached in contemporary Japanese culture, their understanding of history and politics can be astounding.) ）
The whole work is Tu YiLe, and at the same time, this kind of fun may be different than other works called "toilet paper" or "buy comics and give toilet paper".
[4] Author, cartoonist, voice actor and production team: The favorite word count moment
The development of this "Kingdom of The Realist Warriors" is not legendary, and it is also common for light novels to be successfully adapted to a single line, while being cartoonized, and then animated a few years later.
This 2016 work was not animated until 2021, which shows that the Japanese market is a new work that lacks enough creativity, and will choose some chic animation from the old works that already have a market foundation
The author of the manga is "Winter ゆき", and after searching for it, it seems that it is really the original artist of FGO, no wonder the heroine's face once made me think that it was another famous actress who cameo.
As far as I am concerned, the comic look and feel of "The Kingdom of the Realist Warriors" is not good, not the plot or the storyboard, but the drawing style. I originally wanted to compare "This Talk" to make a comparison, thinking that these two works are not the same category at all, and the comparison is of little significance.
Of course, I personally still recommend "This Talk", whether it is manga or animation.
In terms of voice actors, the male protagonist is voiced by "Yusuke Kobayashi" and the female protagonist is dubbed by "Mizuse Kei". The former is the voice actor of Cai Yue in Re: Life in Another World from Scratch, and the latter is rem's voice actor. The love of these two people can be regarded as a broken string in another other world, and from then on, they can be harmonious, no shame and no impetuosity.
As a new work of [J.C.STAFF], if the kingdom of realism is not too magical to follow the manga, at least it can ensure that it "tells a good story". At the same time, no matter how hard we grasp the frequency and scale of welfare, I believe that the public will still buy this work.
Or look forward to this rare work with a good start and a satisfactory ending!
The original queen, the current empress dowager is the one who holds the script. I watched a crowd of people shouting "I have realized", could it be that young people like to be mature, and when they are mature, they will like young?
Alas, what a human nature!
