finally come! Since the renewal broke out in 2019, it was originally launched last year. Due to the epidemic, it was delayed again and again, so I was looking for some piecemeal news, and finally released it today. I was only a sophomore in high school when I thought about watching the first season. The second season is already a college student. The shock and surprise of watching "Love Dead" can still be recalled now. Although it is a pity that there are only 8 episodes in this season, but on the other hand, it is conceivable that the production may be more sophisticated.
In the first season, I really liked to write the evaluation of each episode. Since it is the return of the drama that I have been waiting for for so long, I still have to write it to highlight my love. As for the overall good or bad, it's the last, slow work and careful work
Episode 1: "Automated Customer Service"
A living modern fable, the arrival of the intelligent age not only brings convenience, but also brings hidden dangers. Thinking of some AI self-awareness incidents that broke out before, the status quo of our human beings' peace of mind really needs to be broken. The only command and feedback consciousness of the creation machine, the dominance and backlash of human beings, all the subjects who think they are "God" will eventually become "Jesus", and in just ten minutes, they can speak such valuable things, and even more. There are tributes and associations such as "Blade Runner" and "Terminator". Such sci-fi fables will be a living reality in the near future.
Although this kind of creative thinking is not new, when I watch it, I still see it. The story is mainly cut from the life of ordinary people, and does not expand to the national and world level, so it is easier to substitute, and at the same time In these ten minutes, I can clearly convey the point I want to express, which is also admirable.
At the end of the story, the Terminator-like escape is absurd and horrifying. Thinking of all kinds of misunderstood and desperate stories in the world, the reality is even more worth pondering.
Episode 2: "Ice"
The first thing that catches the eye is the magnificent and delicate picture and the character structure like "Qima Lan". The picture uses exaggeration to highlight the actions and expressions of the characters. People who have watched the first season should have experience. This kind of picture is more creative and more popular with the audience.
As for the plot, many people said that they couldn't see anything. In fact, the story template and implication are very similar to a movie - "Closer". Naturally born people are discriminated against by society. The male protagonist uses hard work to pursue unreachable dreams. Finally, with the help of the people around him, he also realizes his dream of entering space. Movies are more of an inspirational film, using genetic modification as an example to talk about people or things that are discriminated against or considered unachievable, dreams and persistence can always break through the impossible. Compared with "Love Dead", it is actually the same. The unreformed brother wants to watch whales with his younger brother, and runs for time on the ice that is about to break. The people next to him didn't think that he could escape as an ordinary person. God, but in the end he was able to run away with his younger brother behind his back. This has proved himself that external attributes and definitions cannot limit him, only what he thinks he can't do, and no one thinks you can't do it. In the end, it can be seen that the younger brother is probably intentional, wanting the older brother to challenge himself and prove himself at the same time. Therefore, in addition to the picture, the courage and prejudice of the core are also very essence
Episode 3: "Assault Squad"
At the beginning, it was very "cyberpunk", but the beautiful pictures cannot be regarded as the advantage of "Love Dead", and the story is actually very familiar, basically similar to the world view of "Blade Runner", the difference is that Immortality through technology and hunt down those who give birth. Blinding new life for immortality, very dystopian
It's a pity that such a story is really not new, and the last words are also the theme. Selfishly let yourself live a hundred years, but it is deformed.
Episode 4: "Snow in the Desert"
When I came up, it was a very shocking picture. The wasteland world is reminiscent of "Mad Max", and the world view is easy to think of "Star Wars". It gave me a very good feeling at the beginning, but for the story, it was still too much. Old-fashioned, competition + cooperation, it is a conventional set of sci-fi adventure themes, maybe only the picture can be seen
Episode 5: "The Tall Grass"
Just looking at the title, it's easy to think of the horror film "In the Tall Grass". There are similarities, and the story setting is okay. The screen uses a clay-like method, which is something that has never been tried before.
The story is not very good. The smoking man was lost in the grass and was hunted down by a group of "monsters". The "monsters" here were once human beings in the story, and they were also lost in the grass like the male protagonist, and here there is a path to another. The gate of the world is mysterious and terrifying, and in this area, to the monsters, who is the "monster", maybe, in the trance darkness, it is an unknown field
Episode 6: "The Whole House"
The shortest episode of this season, reminds me of "When Yogurt Ruled the World" last season, that episode is one of my favorites, and for "The Whole House", the story tells a bizarre Christmas from a child's perspective In the story, the legend is no longer Santa Claus, but a terrifying monster with hands sticking out of its mouth. Towards the end, it still sent pleasant gifts to the "good children", and at the end, the children said "what would happen if we were not good children", which was actually quite an afterthought. Imagine if it was that kind of trouble. The "bad boy", the story may be unforeseen
The picture is also in clay style, it reminds me of "Ghost Mom"
Therefore, in this episode, the idea is simple, the conception is simple, but the feeling is not profound.
Episode 7: "Living Cabin"
An episode of CG+ real people, the story tells a story of survival through the method of interlude, also a bit like "Hand of Help" in the first season, in an extreme environment, either fend for themselves or fight for survival, Michael B Jordan also It is a highlight of this episode. The facial special effects are difficult to distinguish between real people and CG, so any action is believable, which is a success. As for the story, it is the program error of the intelligent machine that caused the "betrayal", but what is worth thinking about is that from the very beginning, when the male protagonist entered the house of life, he mentioned that there was another, but this person did not give any indication of whether to leave or die in the end. signal, so is this "house of life" a real existence? Maybe it's not giving rescue at all, but a special "weapon of death" implanted by the enemy (just association)
Episode 8: "The Drowned Giant"
Counted as the best of the season, from the standpoint, it is the most mysterious and the most memorable.
An unnamed giant appeared on the beach, but the awe and fear of human beings for this lost corpse turned into viewing and playing for a long time. No one knows what happened to the giant before his life, no one knows how he felt before he died, but it is possible that he, as the creator, has become a "servant" of human beings, using his bones and flesh in various places, Maybe the vitality he exudes can be continued in this way. Humans use his "mystery" to attract more people, but in the end "he is like an abandoned ship, stranded on the empty coast."
We, who think we are the creators, enjoy freedom and a complete body. After we die, we, like giants, are corroded and digested by lower life forms. In the end, there are only a pile of bones and traces. This cycle affects us. For the man in the story, he saw more meaning of life from the giant. In the boundless life, what he experienced was nothing but a cloud of smoke in the end. Just like the onlookers and shock of people when the giant first arrived, they will gradually forget and immerse themselves in history. Maybe I have seen it in a dream. The resurrected giant collects his own fragments everywhere, and after returning to the sea, he pays his attention to the human beings for the last time. The world, what kind of feeling, indescribable and unbelievable, this is enlightenment
Summary: The evaluation of the second season has dropped sharply. In fact, there are reasons for it. At the beginning, most people's favorite views of the first season were whimsical ideas and free pornography, but in the second season, on the one hand, the audience had already had expectations before. Looking forward to the second season on the premise of the masterpiece, it is natural to be disappointed if there is no explosive point. Second, it is also because the number of episodes in this season is too low, there is not that kind of bizarre, diverse and gorgeous, and the setting of several episodes is also the same as that of the first season, and even two episodes are still similar, which will also cause dissatisfaction. . Fans have been looking forward to the "peak" of the anime for two years, and finally came to the feeling of "this is it". Without the shock of "Qima Blue" in the first season, the 8 episodes of the second season seem to have dropped at the same level. The unevenness of being criticized in the first season is also based on the premise of good and bad. In the second season, it is just "ordinary" or even boring, so the evaluation will be bad.
But everyone has their own opinions. For me, to tell a story in ten minutes, the most important thing is to attract the audience's attention. Of course, the picture is the first, and the picture of love dead machine will not be too delicate. Many people pick on the thorns, most people don't like the story and the setting, and under a good premise, although there will be gaps later, the feeling will not be particularly angry to the extreme, so my opinion is that the second season is similar. Compared with the first season, the level has dropped a lot, but it is not good enough to become a "rotten" standard. I still like and look forward to the crash. I heard that the second season originally had more than a dozen episodes. season, so for the second half of the season, there is something to look forward to,
