Most cross-genre anime give the audience the feeling of nothing more than a cheerful viewing experience and a tense and exciting plot progression, but these two things are exactly what Gray and Fantasy Grimgar (hereinafter referred to as "Gray Illusion") lacks. It is precisely for this reason that this wonderful and realistic crossover drama is most likely to have no second season, not even a theatrical version.
The style is like ink painting.
However, this sensory enjoyment is like fast food, eating fast and forgetting quickly, not only the desire of the second brush is low, even for a long time, it will not leave too much thinking and aftertaste for the audience. Although everyone watches anime for different purposes, the depth of an anime's thinking determines exactly how likely it is to be often mentioned by posterity after it has passed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > why Grey Fantasy is not the usual way</h1>
Although Grey Fantasy is a traversal drama that follows the setting of the game and the dungeon, it does not bring the audience a light adventure story.
However, the price of carelessness is the loss of life.
All of the above, are the general crossing drama will not be deliberately highlighted, it is difficult to cross to the other world, do not experience a lively adventure story, not a surprised dragon arrogant big man, but because of the lack of money to cook more salt, poor only a pair of underwear at night washed and dried to continue to wear during the day. What anime is so unromantic, and yes, it's Gray Fantasy.
So what exactly does such an unusual work want to tell us? According to the author's own words, it is to commemorate the years when the game was played, especially the online game. Many people may not understand, online games, in addition to PVP, is not the kind of knife 999, and then the equipment is full of ground, so it should be designed into the kind of plot of The Dragon Auror to be more in line with the truth.
Monsters also have their own lives.
Speaking of which, I'm reminded of a game called World of Warcraft (WOW), the early WOW, and in the age of the 40-player quest, any one person making a small mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire team. It can be said that the team that was able to successfully pass a large copy at that time had experienced many attempts and run-ins, and was an experienced team with tacit understanding, and before it was equipped, before it was able to tolerate, it was almost impossible to make a mistake in thinking of a BOSS.
However, today's WOW, in addition to retaining some difficult bosses, many times a random group of temporary passers-by can still pass the copy without making mistakes.
Seeing this, you may be able to understand what the author of "Gray Illusion" means by remembering the past. Because nowadays, many things are developing towards the trend of fast food, and there is no reverence for reality, but "Gray Illusion" depicts us an almost real crossing story, which can be described as a clear stream among many dragon pride.
A beautiful other world, if you don't have to fight monsters.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > just being alive, I've done my best</h1>
Just as "Gray Illusion" shows a different style, like the background of the ink painting style, the characters in "Gray Illusion" also really seem to be the story that happens around them, which has a fresh and unworldly feeling. Under normal circumstances, crossing from a boring reality to another world full of unknowns should be full of fun and curiosity.
Originally placed in the general crossing of the goblins that even gave the protagonist experience points too little, the protagonists had to play 7 or 8 episodes, playing the feeling of the final boss; the goblins that should have been able to drop a piece of the knife in a second, the protagonists besieged a goblin that took a lot of effort to eliminate it. The trembling hand holding the dagger, the feeling of the weapon poking into the other person's bone, the pain of being shot through the drill heart by the bow and arrow. These are all questions that are avoided by ordinary crossings, but these are the ones that Gray Illusion focuses on.
In any case, don't give up.
In the game, the king who kills all sides, in reality, give him a chicken and a fish, he may not dare to start, especially when the poultry desperately resists, the hands of ordinary people holding knives may tremble. While playing and traversing give us illusory fun, they also give us the illusion that we can really do it, but most people really can't. At least not until you have experienced enough exercise and grinding.
And the performance of "Gray Illusion" here is even more cruel, if you want to live you must grow, but there is no simulated battle, every time is to fight with your life, just live, you will do your best, you can survive it, a small mistake, there is no second chance.
Such a gap, relying on individuals, how can it be beaten without hanging.
I think it's just a kind of reverence for the truth. The strength of human beings has never depended on individuals, nor on the strength of human biological organisms, but on brain power and thinking, on unity and cooperation. Under the trend of fast food, people become more and more "brainless", the plot of course, the logical errors full of loopholes, the inferior to the general picture of PPT, these are not important, as long as they can bring the audience a pleasant experience, they can sell well, they can get the second season, but those excellent works, but because of some persistent persistence, lost to the market, became a lifetime.
Back to this drama, before watching "Gray Illusion", I think many people will be eager to cross to another world full of mysterious colors, but "Gray Fantasy" tells us that even if we can really cross, there may be no such thing as the protagonist's aura, and perhaps even the most ordinary food and clothing can only be exchanged at the risk of life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > say goodbye to yesterday's self and move toward tomorrow with hope</h1>
Let go of yesterday's hurts.
"Gray Fantasy" uses a lot of protagonist monologues and psychological descriptions to show us how to survive when an ordinary person faces an unfamiliar environment. When there is a gap between peers, when the responsibility of leading the team falls on their shoulders, how people's instinctive reactions are, and how people should overcome and adapt.
Of course, in addition to these, "Gray Illusion" also focuses on conveying a positive value to the audience:
In any case, people have to look forward, no matter what unfortunate and sad things happened in the past, it belongs to yesterday. Those who survive still have tomorrow and the future, and they must continue to move forward with hope. Life and the meaning of life depend on the surviving people to explore and find for themselves. However, the premise of the existence of these meanings is precisely the truth, and if it is a random Dragon Pride heavenly mind, it is difficult to appreciate these connotations.
Beautiful love can actually be encountered in reality.
epilogue:
Grimgar of Grey and Fantasy, although the rhythm is gentle and the monologue of the stream of consciousness is too much, it is a clear stream. If you like crossover dramas, you may wish to try this different fan, it should not disappoint you.
