I don't know if it is a marketing reason, after Tencent's "League of Legends" s11 finals were played, it immediately carried the animation of "League of Legends Twin Cities" directly over, as if to say: Since edg won the championship, then this "League of Legends Twin Cities Battle" animation must be a big fire.
This wishful thinking is a bit good, but unfortunately, the aesthetic way of European and Americans is different from our Oriental aesthetic way, so this time they can't get their wish!
Why are Japanese anime so popular? There's not much reason for this, why? Because it's just good-looking! This is recognized, then the reason for the Japanese anime fire is actually to put it bluntly, it is very in line with the aesthetics of the Orientals on the screen.
1. The aesthetics of the Orientals
Orientals prefer girls who look younger, shy and elegant, such as the Yamato Fumiko type that we commonly see in Japanese anime, which is a special beauty fan. Or a girl with a ripple type and a personality will be more satisfied. After all, we are used to being conservative, so we generally think that short, cute, pure, etc. will be more likeable.
But here it also needs to be explained: everyone's aesthetic way is different, so there will be some differences.
2, Screen
What is Japanese Anime? Their creative model is a supply chain-wide model. Their competitive pressure is very large, such as the jump department, the elementary school library department, the Shuying society department, the White Spring society department, etc. as we all have different needs and expressions.
And their common approach is that the pressure is particularly high. Of course, because of the pressure, nature has reached the pinnacle in drawing skills, storyboarding, and storytelling ability, which is what we often see! For example, "Dragon Ball", "Jojo" and so on are all world-class anime works. In terms of picture and story, it is much better than our side, Europe and the United States. This is known to everyone.
3. Plot
Just like the above-mentioned "Dragon Ball", "Jojo" and other anime, they are very good in the plot. For example, the most popular anime "One Piece" on our side has also broken the Guinness World Record and so on.
All show that the storytelling ability of Japanese anime is very powerful and recognized all over the world, which is one of the major reasons why Japanese anime is very popular.
1. The aesthetics of Europeans and Americans
In this "League of Legends Twin Cities" animation, we saw a very beautiful and very good one. But the aesthetic way of Europeans and Americans is different from the aesthetic way of our Orientals.
The girls that Europeans and Americans like are mature, generous, sexy, and confident girls, so it is said that the East and Europe and the United States are 2 different "worlds". Therefore, when comparing the two, we will find that people in the east will watch more Japanese anime, while the anime watched in Europe and the United States is of course focused on the more mature and so on.
For example, in "League of Legends Twin Cities Battle", Wei's "plot performance ability" is very good in my personal opinion, especially when she fights with her fists and the other boxer's fists, it is very burning, that kind of courage makes me impressed, it is indeed a very attractive and attractive girl.
Note: Everyone's aesthetic approach is different, so there will be a difference.
Just like the aesthetic way of the Orientals and Europeans I said above, the characters of the entire League of Legends Battle of the Two Cities are European and American character models, and our first reaction when we watch it is a little unaccustomed, at least I myself is like this (Note: I did not show that European and American aesthetics are not GOOD!). ), and after watching the entire "League of Legends Twin Cities" three-word animation, I felt that the animation screen this time is still very interesting.
And because the animation of "League of Legends" is three consecutive episodes, each episode is more than 40 minutes, so it is very powerful and enjoyable when watching, and it is a very good animation work. And League of Legends Twin Cities is available in English as well as Mandarin, but I recommend reading the English version first.
In terms of plot, it is easy to say, because people familiar with "League of Legends" know that several children and scientists are people, so they are very familiar with the plot, so they can also understand their various motivations and ideas.
But for people who don't understand, can you understand their motivations? Obviously not. For example, when "One Piece" and "Dragon Ball" in Japanese anime, when watching their anime, even if you don't have to deliberately look at them, you can understand the essence of the characters and the mode of action, which is the charm of Japanese anime.
Therefore, in the animation of "League of Legends" and "Battle of two cities", my personal suggestion is to understand the entire game of "League of Legends" first and then watch the animation.
Like I said above, League of Legends Twin Cities is indeed a very valuable fan-to-anime work, of course, they have only released the anime since edgs11 won the championship, presumably for the sake of a wave of fire.
It's just that they have not understood why the aesthetics of the Orientals and the aesthetics of the Europeans and americans are so, then "The Battle of the League of Legends" is also very difficult for us to catch fire. The most obvious thing is that at least they have not bought hot searches and the like, so this "League of Legends Twin Cities Battle" is indeed powerful for fans, and it is very weak for newcomers.
That's why I said that the "League of Legends Twin Cities Battle" produced by Tencent this time is actually very tragic! Are you bad at buying some lists, rankings, or anything? After all, you have so many resources. And it just so happens that the s11 competition won the championship, what a good time point. Is Tencent planning to give up the IP of "League of Legends"?
