Author: Adult's fairy tales
are ranked first in Japan's three major juvenile manga magazines (Shonen Jump, Shonen Sunday, and Shonen Magazine) in terms of sales and current influence. At the moment when the quality of Shonen Jump's works is not as good as before, I also found that I haven't read it for a long time. What a surprise to find in this magazine.
Jump in the period of the three pillars of the three pillars has three migrant workers in the Pirate Naruto Reaper, occupying half of the country in the field of the hot-blooded youth, and at the moment when the Hokage is over, the Reaper is lingering, and the Gintama is nearing the end, only One Piece is still standing. , and other works that are positioned to be younger and younger are also difficult to take on. The painting style and story have indeed been innovating all the time. Works such as the captive of food and the assassination classroom have successively taken over the banner from the first-line works of the previous generation, but the innovation speed of eating old books is still not as fast as the readers and audiences. speed.
No impact. The enthusiasm for updating must-sees is waning.
Like the giant who gave me a lot of shock a few years ago, the author Isayama was rejected by Juvenile Jump, and then turned to Juvenile Magazine, and finally got serialized (the giant was serialized in "Bessatsu Juvenile Magazine").
It's been a long time since I experienced the thrill of this magazine's work. When watching Gintama, I couldn't stop laughing one moment, but couldn't stop crying the next second; when I watched Hunter, I complained about the rough lines of the draft just now, but I was immediately conquered by the shocking storyboard; When I wrote Death Note and Dream Eater, I deeply realized that tension and blood don't need to be explained by battle. These feelings seem to be gradually disappearing.
Until the emergence of the spirit of the halberd.
The original work of Yuto Yuto, who has experience in serialization, and Tosh Saeki, an artist who has experience in serialization, is responsible for the original painting of the spirit of eating halberds. The cooking showdown quickly caught my attention. The original work quickly gained the reputation of the spirit of aphrodisiac with its seductive body lines and full-bodied performance when tasting food, but for readers who have read it seriously, such an impression is by no means the All the works with rich content. The animation adapted by JCSTAFF also restores the advantages of the original work very well. Not only does it master the balance of the rhythm very well, there is no procrastination or blindly rushing the progress, but it also has a high degree of restoration of the original characters, and the painting is meticulous and there is almost no collapse. . After the 24th chapter of the first season, the production of the first half of the main drama "Autumn Selection" in the early stage of the original work has been perfectly completed.
In terms of the development of the plot, although it is no different from the kingly development of the general gourmet manga, the so-called halberd is a showdown of cooking. However, the well-designed exam content, the selection questions with different themes, the ingenious selection and matching of ingredients, and the description of a large number of cooking knowledge and cooking skills, all come from the actual research, and then show a force higher than reality, which makes people feel It's interesting, and I want to practice it myself. For a dish, the selection of fresh ingredients can be described as the top priority, and the freshness of the script of the spirit of eating halberd is maintained quite well. It is impossible to have a new nirvana in every battle, but every halberd has a New spice combinations, new ways to cook, new ways to win.
Synaesthesia is a rhetorical device we all learned in middle school. It was already very difficult to translate the feeling of taste into words, but in the food animation, it is necessary to express the feeling of taste in pictures, the difficulty can be imagined.
However, the spirit of the halberd has been handled very well. Not only did he put a lot of effort into the design of the recipe and the cooking process to make the audience salivate and stimulate their appetite, but also exaggeratedly present this kind of food through the various reactions of the users. Stimulation from the sense of taste (this is also the origin of the reputation of the spirit of aphrodisiac). Although this is not a new technique, I remember that in the food comics many years ago, there are still exaggerated bridges that can restore memory, fly to heaven and reunite with dad, and even go back to the past to rewrite history. However, the spirit of eating halberds is not in any way out of reality. It simply exaggerates the subjective feelings of eating food, and truly conveys the deliciousness to the audience.
On the other hand, the spirit of eating halberds has been very successful in shaping the protagonist Yukihira, and he has been defeated and fought repeatedly against his genius father, and has cultivated fearlessness against all opponents. The personality is very likeable. The many unexpected tricks in the halberd are also the product of the wisdom sparks wiped out through daily accumulation and exchanges between friends and with inspiration. Also surprising are a number of supporting roles, with very recognizable characters, different personalities, each character can play an amazing level in the field of cooking that they are good at, and the charming supporting roles are almost from the beginning. Grab the audience's eye firmly. Although some of the characters have few scenes, they are quite outstanding, not only as green leaves to set off, but as flowers to compete with creativity. The audience not only pays attention to the creative performance of the protagonist, but also pays great attention to the results of other cooking duels. The suspenseful unfolding makes it a great joy to guess the outcome of each halberd.
