I've got a lot more around Ilia than I do... Among them, there are handmade, hanging paintings, clay, and different surroundings of scenery. Cabinet after cabinet, of course, I was amazed that the collection of this big guy was so in place, but I was also amazed that unconsciously, the character of Ilia of Fate had been born so much around her theme, in other words, Ilia had created so much wealth for the upstream copyright holders such as Aniplex and Moon.
The character of Ilia, although important in Fate/Stay Night, is not as eye-catching as the other heroines of the main story, Rin Tosaka, Sakura Ma, and Saber. The real development of Ilia's greater commercial value should be after the birth of "Magical Girl Ilia".
"Magical Girl Ilia" was originally an experimental work, written by Hiroshi Hiroyama, a bit like a fan story, but after Takeuchi Sensei read the prototype and agreed, it became a formal manga that added elements of the Fate series without affecting the main plot, and owned the copyright.
"Magical Girl Ilia" created a different world view from "Fate", but only borrowed some of the content of the world view and not the same world view, so that it is a good way to avoid the problem of the way out of the world view, will not be like the "Fate/ZERO" novel, causing fans to argue about the setting of the world view, is a good source and good start for fans to the work. I think that's very important.
At first, Hiroshi Hiroyama's painting style was also very immature, he painted Ilia's eyes too big, and his face was not cute enough. However, with the animation of "Magical Girl Ilia", the style of animation has given him a good reference. Because the style of animation will be more universal and unified, and the painting formation of Hiroshi Hiroyama has been modified by a powerful person designer, the shape of the animated version of "Magical Girl Ilia" is indeed more cute and more in line with the aesthetics of the public.
Ilia in Magical Girl Ilia is younger and more cute than the original. The personality also removed the taste of the original belly black, the voice is more juvenile, into a natural department, ordinary like to spit on the character of the primary school students, without the cruelty of the Holy Grail War, Ilia may become a little girl who is loved by everyone.
"Magical Girl Ilia" reduces the age of Ilia's image in the original work, which is also very important, because according to a website keyword survey, people who like the two-dimensional A-house are still very fond of the attribute of "Lori", and it seems that the effect is faster after reducing the age.
As the protagonist, Ilya is paired with the attributes of the "magical girl" common in Japan... It also gives fan works an inexhaustible theme... Don't underestimate the role of fandom comics, it still has a very great significance for promoting the popularity of a character, the copyright owner is not stupid, to commercialize the role, it will naturally pick the most popular character, then the most popular Saber in "Fate" has been excavated after the unlimited commercial possibilities, the more Luo's shape of Ilia is naturally the next target.
The good news is that Hiroshi Hiroyama, the original author of "Magical Girl Ilia", is also a full-fledged creator, and did not get sloppy because the work has the aura of "Fate". Not content with the original daily story of the manga, he began to create a serious main plot, which is also the secret of allowing a foreign comic to continue to produce a single line. After having his own main story, the natural manga can be drawn one after another, drawing more, and you can also see the improvement of his drawing skills from Hiroshi Hiroyama's single book.
Nowadays, most of Ilia's hand-made images are no longer based on "Fate/Stay Night", but on the "Magical Girl Ilia", according to the plot of the comic, Ilia will also give birth to different new forms, postures, showing different faces of Ilia, or shy, or handsome, but all around the biography of Ilia. The success of the character of Ilia cannot be separated from the popularity of "Fate/Stay Night" and the setting of the world view of the "Fate" series, but it cannot be separated from the cute Ilia brought by Hiroshi Hiroshi Hiroyama, who is closer to an ordinary elementary school student.
