→ Better Links for Typography: Hong Fu Ye Run Ji - Love Death Robots
In less than 4 months in 2019, this series has become the best of the year in my heart . 18 stories, 18 styles of painting, and 18 stunning shocks. Most of them are adapted from science fiction short stories, and their brains are surprisingly big. The beginning scrolls with a simple three logo that serves as the title of the episode. Each episode is very short, but it builds and presents such a grand 18 worldviews in an extremely limited space. The production team is really awesome.
"Love Dead" undeniably marks a new height for animation/CG/non-live-action film and television works. Briefly record the look and feel of each episode, with a personal diversity star rating:
Ep1 Sonnie's Edge Sonnie's Advantage
★★★★★
Most cult episode. The awakening of female consciousness, telling hardcore stories from a feminist perspective. Coupled with R-level fighting scenes, the impact of the look and feel is unprecedented. Sonny's modeling is very similar to Ruby Rose. If there is a live-action version, it must be played by her. She is sassy and strong.
I am fighting for my life.
That is my edge.
If Alita still retains some elements of the girl's comics, then this is the adult-to-bloody version of the Hell's Angels. In just ten minutes, the plot is reversed and then reversed. The script is exquisite and visually gluttonous. It is very suitable to use this episode as the opening. I will tell you intuitively that this series will not be ugly.
Ep2 Three Robots
★★★☆☆
The end of the world is set, and all human beings are extinct. A whole episode was made by three robots, and the perspective is very fresh. It is the most relaxed and pleasant episode in the entire 18 episodes, and there is no bloody violence or R18 scenes. The only episode is suitable for public viewing XD Probably the screenwriter is a cat slave, a cat man on top.
Ep3 The Witness Witness
★★★★★
Best of the season! The cyberpunk harbor-style horror cruise ship, the loop setting is matched with a kaleidoscope-like picture, which makes people look even more magical. My favorite part is the heroine running through the narrow pink neon streets of Hong Kong, wrapped in only a silk coat, which is so touching.
The production team is from "Spider-Man Parallel World", and the image of the heroine is also the setting of the initial parallel world. But this one is more amazing than the parallel world. It is the most "good-looking" in the style of painting and the most "good-looking" in the plot. like.
Ep4 The Suit Mobile Armor
★★★★☆
The style of painting changed, and it became a game of defending the manor. At first glance, the plot seems very ordinary, but the last shot is zoomed out, suddenly raising the world view to a whole level, making people feel chills down their spines. Under the Dome + Stranger Things, add one for the ending
Ep5 Sucker of Souls Soul Eater
★★★☆☆
In the style of comic books, the scene where the little apprentice was split by the monster was more impressive. There is also the sentence of mercenaries that prostitutes overcharge XD ps Is David Fincher involved in the screenwriting, cat people rule the world +1
Ep6 When the Yogurt Took Over
When Yogurt Ruled the World
★★★★☆
The title is the story, just by looking at the title, you can see how big the brain hole is. Played with the two big countries of the United States and China, Ohio and a province, which is very interesting and ironic. Hahaha. Tell a dystopian fable, kind of like a yogurt version of Animal Farm
Ep7 Beyond the Aquaila Rift
beyond the cracks
★★★★★
The most thought-provoking, scalp-tingling episode. When deviating from orbit by hundreds of light-years, do you choose an illusory gentle tomb or a broken reality? I might choose the former.
I saw a comment saying that the Zerg treat these yaw pilots like humans treat stranded whales, and there is no other way but hospice, spraying them with water, and creating dreams. With this episode's ost [ Living in the Shadows], I can suddenly feel the tenderness of this worldview.
Ep8 Good Hunting Happy hunting
★★★★★
Oh my god, I actually saw a visual ancient steam mecha punk! A worldview that has only been seen in novels before, people who are addicted to "Slaying the Wolf" are so excited that they bite their fingers. This episode is like Alita's version of Liaozhai, adapted from "Happy Hunting" by Chinese writer Liu Yukun. The color is outstanding in the style of painting and setting. I can see such a local and pure Chinese style in the production of Netflix. I like it.
Ep9 The Dump Junkyard
★★★☆☆
Overall a bit boring (compared to other stories throughout the season), maybe this episode isn't quite my way? The ending is also expected, but the impact is still not small.
Ep10 Shape-Shifters
★★★★★
Ep10, 13, 18 of the military war theme, I like it very much. This episode can be called War Wolf directly, really War Wolf. The setting of the werewolf soldiers is really interesting, and I especially want to see the American drama version continue this story line. From the side you can see how sophisticated this series is.
Ep11 Helping Hand
★★★☆☆
Literally help "hands". The more modest space stories, the sophistication is precisely in this pun.
Ep12 Fish Night Ancient Fish Revival
★★★★☆
The most romantic episode ever. The style is fantastic, and so is the story. If human souls linger nearby after death, so should animals. Do you believe the trapped desert was an ocean in ancient times? The ending is also amazing.
Ep13 Lucky 13 Lucky 13
★★★☆☆
The thirteenth episode just tells the story of Lucky 13. Once again, I was moved by this small idea. When the battleship also had its own consciousness, I almost shed tears in the end. A very sweet episode.
Ep14 Zima Blue Zima Blue
★★★★☆
The most philosophical episode ever. Are you a machine with human brain consciousness, or a human with a machine body? In the last paragraph, all things return to their ancestors, returning to their original nature, and I was stunned.
Ep15 Blindspot
★★★☆☆
It's a bit like Defending the Farm in Episode 4, but it lacks the thrilling impact at the end of Episode 4. What's more interesting is the "Brain is here." in the screenshot here.
Ep16 Ice Age Ice Age
★★★★☆
Open the refrigerator to see the evolution history of the world, very interesting settings. It's also very easy, and there is no bloody violence. The imagination is very colorful, and it feels like playing around the earth in three minutes.
Ep17 Alternative Histories
★★★★☆
Especially absurd game settings, like a hilarious version of "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch". AKA Hitler? But it makes people want to have this app.
Ep18 Secret War
★★★★★
The war scenes in this episode, the bloody cruelty, are too realistic. The first time I saw the military theme from the perspective of the Russian army, the fighting story of the fighting nation was different from the beginning of the atmosphere. A little bit of the sense of fear and crisis shrouded in the heavy snow of the game of power Winter is coming, and the final ending is even more chilling and shuddering, which is reminiscent of the beginning of the zombies in "Kingdom".
