Chaos warriors, wonton warriors, dumpling warriors, bun warriors, hot pot warriors...
Watching this drama was originally for learning. Shinichiro Watanabe is the supervisor. I have heard for a long time that he is very cool. After reading his works, it will definitely enhance the understanding of animation. Really... op's style of painting borrows from Ukiyo-e, which is amazing. The story takes place in the ancient Edo period, but its music is integrated into the trendy hip hop, and there is no sense of incongruity. A blend of tradition and modernity, high.
People have tension, and the fight scenes are cool.
The plot is... relatively bland, but has a charm. A little girl named Feng asked two ronin who were going to duel, Wugen and Ren, to be her bodyguards, to accompany her to find a samurai with the smell of sunflowers, and until they found them, they wanted to coexist peacefully.
Strange, these two guys actually agreed.
So they set off on an amazing journey.
They were getting ready to travel, and I happened to be on a peculiar... queuing trip. Going to the National Art Museum of China, as soon as you look up, there are _ people three kilometers away. I am a little pink socialist, and I risked dying in the team in order to see the exhibition celebrating the "Beauty in the New Era" of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The line was slow, and I had to watch Chaos Warriors to distract from boredom. Accompanied by such a wonderful drama, the result is waiting... It's still very boring, very boring.
When I saw the fifth episode, I understood, this is an animation that I appreciate, but not my favorite.
Looking at "Beauty in the New Era", I don't think it's so beautiful. Although I know rationally, the works of the masters in the exhibition are good. After walking around the exhibition, I realized that this is an exhibition that I appreciate, but not my favorite.
Why do I reluctantly accept things I don't like in order to learn? I'm ready to give up this drama that can't bring me emotions, and give up watching those paintings that I don't like to watch.
The painting did not continue to watch, but the drama continued to follow. In order to pretend in front of classmates. Express yourself as a person who loves watching animation, has a common language with them, and has a good taste.
I watched it off and on for a while, gave up for a while in the middle, and struggled to continue watching.
When you see it, you can't stop.
Because I have feelings for it little by little.
Gradually fell in love with the wind, no magic, and benevolence.
These three people, who didn't know each other at first, came together because of an exaggerated request from Feng, and their relationship was not solid. The three seem to be hiding in the shadows. Wuhuan "is very bad, and I don't want people to be friends at first sight." Ren seems to be more reliable, but he bears the secret of killing his master. As for the wind, he never revealed his life experience and the reason for his search. As for me, I can probably see their characters, but I can't really trust any of them.
But I still went through it with them. These buddies travel very loosely, so basically each episode is a separate story. Some are sad, some are funny but frigid, and some even change the world by being funny, (seriously). But these changes... have nothing to do with Sunflower Samurai. The only thing that doesn't change is that these three idiots are always starving, but have no money to eat.
After all, after earning (robbing) meals together, getting into trouble, and sharing weal and woe together, their relationship is getting better and better, and their personalities are gradually revealed.
In episode 12, Wu Huan and Ren peeked at Feng's diary, where Feng recorded everything that happened on the way. There are many episodes of memory killing, which is a very unique one. It looks at the whole development of things from another angle and effectively shapes the characters of the characters. It was from this episode that I really developed a feeling of intimacy with the wind. Let's keep a diary. She writes endlessly. Before she can talk about things in detail, she starts to say how delicious a certain dish is. When she talks about the two "bodyguards", they are both willful and emotional, (first destroying Wuhuan worthless, and then criticizing Ren) In the end, she said, because she had guessed from the beginning that these two goods would be flipped She wrote her diary on purpose to piss them off, just like a little girl.
Feng is an ordinary little girl. She was dazed sometimes, so she was always kidnapped. The opposite sex will be very happy if she has a good impression on her. (Except for the thief and the painter brother, they are all crooked.) If you meet a beautiful woman and hook up with two bodyguards, you will be jealous. Especially edible, the stomach is a bottomless pit.
Such a child can say to Ren while running to find a savior, "If there is no love in this world, there will be nothing but darkness!" In times of danger, he is courageous and fearful at the same time: he is naughty and straightforward in the face of his friends.
She is the center of a small group of three. Bonded two diametrically opposed people, Wuhuan and Ren.
In the episode of Diary, I reflected their characteristics through the performance of Wuhuan and Ren. In order to understand the Sunflower Samurai, he stole Feng's book without any illusions. When listening to Ren reading the diary, he reflected intensely (he was illiterate) Ren, he said "it's not good to touch other people's things without consent", but with relish Looking at it, I was sullen when I watched it.
Fantastic is my type. The martial arts are strong, and the moves are weird and marketable. She has the intuition like a beast, is arrogant and carefree, she will fight when she sees a strong person, and a beautiful woman will think with her lower body as soon as she arrives. It is very delicious and treats the rules like bullshit. At the same time, he is generous and forthright, with a strong sense of justice and responsibility. He is both good and evil, and overall he is full of rocket-like momentum.
Ren, there is much more culture. Think he still wears glasses. If Wuhuan Wugong is folk, benevolent is "academic school". He was icy cold. Not much to say, very literary as soon as you speak. The surface is calm, but the heart is clear. In the last few episodes, his concern for the wind, his thoughtfulness, warmth and delicacy, moved me and saddened me. He has feelings that are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, like a fire in water.
The relationship between them is a little delicate. Between Wuhuan and Ren, there is a feeling of being both an enemy and a friend and gaygay. The wind seems to like two people a little, especially Wuhuan. Wuhuan doesn't have any strange feelings for Feng, and is more taken care of as a younger sister. Ren seems to have a special feeling for the wind.
These three people went their separate ways at a fork in the road because of contradictions, and they were always connected again because of fate, as if they would not truly be separated until they completed their mission. When they are together again, it is very natural, and they will not say some nonsense such as sorry.
When we finally got close to the goal, the protagonists and I both felt lonely and sad. They took off their veils. Wuhuan has no stories, and Ren tells his own past. Feng finally revealed that Sunflower Samurai was her father and abandoned her mother and her. She couldn't forgive him and wanted to slap him all the way.
Finally saw my father, he was dying, and the wind was not in the mood to fan him. And he soon died under the knife of the government lackey. It turned out that he was hunted down by the shogunate and abandoned them in order to protect his mother and daughter. In the days and nights away from them, I have been thinking about them.
Feng was about to be killed, but she survived under the desperate protection of Wuhuan and Ren.
In the end, the three separated. This period of fate is over, and when they parted, it seemed that there was no special nostalgia...
It should be said that this plot is like a little tadpole looking for her mother. It is very simple, but the more I watch it, the more immersive I feel. I remembered a lot of things while watching it, and it made me understand something.
In fact, the Sunflower Samurai is a symbol, a symbol of some kind of elusive goal. All three were missing something, and they were all looking. Some people say that the main line of Chaos Warrior is not clear and lost in stories big and small. This is what I happen to like. If anime is also a kind of three-dimensional writing, and other anime is a novel, it is a tepid, passionate prose. The shape is scattered and the spirit is not scattered. Because in fact, the Sunflower Samurai (the goal) is not important, and when it is actually achieved, it is just like that, and it is even sad. What's interesting is the people they meet, the things they're looking for, they've actually found results. partner. Bonds between partners.
So Wu Huanren did not duel, they are no longer like lone wolves in the mountains, they have found something more meaningful than making themselves stronger and challenging others _ no longer draw swords just for themselves.
What I sigh is that they gently started such a warm and rich trip, and finally parted ways quietly. This is the best way to say goodbye.
The whole play tells us a very common truth, but in a way that is soothing and silent, which is truly acceptable to people, just like accepting food, because it speaks to the heart of the characters. I think this is probably art.
Mr. Zhu Guangqian said that to appreciate art, it is necessary to see flowers through the fog and to get away from subjective feelings, so that it is beautiful. Maybe. I think that appreciation with emotion is not only beautiful, but also happy, and tears in laughter.
Thinking about it, I don't like "beauty in the new era" because I haven't set foot on the road of Chinese art, or the sense of the times in those paintings is not strong enough after all.
I think of the combination of music and plot in "Chaos Warriors" again. The reason why it is not deliberate is because this story tells about eternal feelings, and jazz rap should be the best way to express it.
