Anime party, I don't know the follow-up plot, just talk about the experience of animation. Contains some spoilers, read with caution.
It was recommended to me by a good friend of a senior otaku. She didn't dare to watch it by herself, so we made an appointment to watch it at the same time, and then I finished it in one night. At the beginning of the first episode, the barrage was massively persuaded to quit: "Warning! This is not a cute show!" But I really can't think of how scary this childish name and character style can be. As a result, in the first episode, Coney put the My scalp was numb with fear.
【Danger】
However, there are actually no very exciting pictures (except for the nuns) in the back. Most of the time, the swaying camera and the dim light bring people the feeling of being peeped, which makes people feel uneasy.
The nun is really too magical hahaha, most of the heart palpitations during the viewing process are because of her. The things she left to the children are probably the foreshadowing of the follow-up, and it feels that at least from now, there is still a lot missing from her background. Before dying, it feels a bit awkward and incomprehensible to suddenly express my wishes for the children.
The three protagonists who were under 12 years old made me feel deeply that I had humiliated human beings. They are the highest quality "food" selected under daily training. The quality is not only reflected in IQ or physical strength, but also in having a "healthy developing brain". All three are incomparably pure and kind. The Virgin Emma, who saved the entire orphanage, Norman, who was willing to give everything for Emma's wish, or Lei, who had secretly prepared for 6 years alone, the brilliance of their humanity is like an angel. Maybe that's why such young children were chosen as the protagonists. In the face of reality that is too heavy for children, they grow very strong at an astonishing speed. But it still maintains the extremely simple, pure and passionate love for the world and friends that only children have.
Some people are very dissatisfied with Emma's desire to save the heart of the Virgin of the whole world. Judging from the success rate of the entire plan, Emma's idea does seem immature and difficult. But her obsession is an important factor in her leading the spiritual orientation of the whole work as the heroine. In Emma's world, there is no option to escape danger alone, and Emma who escapes alone will not be Emma. It is Emma's innocence and innocence that makes her the strongest bond in the team, because she is able to awaken all children's yearning for life and love. Only then can we truly feel that they are still children who are talented. To convince us that Neverland really exists, to make us hope they can escape.
Norman is really a gentle boy. At least I see that now I think Norman is dead, and that episode was the most emotional time. As long as it was Emma's wish, Norman would make every effort to fulfill it, even willing to take his life. In order to ensure the success of Emma's plan, he gave up taking risks, but took a fearful but resolute step towards death. When I read the stories of their childhood, I realized that Emma was the brightest light in Norman's life. I was really touched when Norman left with the box containing only paper phones. It's that "you are the meaning of my existence" feeling. What a fairy boy! ! ! ! ! ! !
In the last episode, I personally feel that the level of the whole work has been raised to a higher level, naturally unveiling the foreshadowing that was buried everywhere before, and the characters are also fuller. After becoming a mother's child, after fully accepting the truth of the world, after giving up resistance in the face of the disparity, it turns into a tool to bind the children. Is this hateful? Not quite. Now that they have accepted the status quo, they are convinced that the children also have no ability to escape. Even if they escape, it is a world of evil spirits. Life is better than death. She wants her children to live longer, but in her world, the longest is only 12 years old. But having said that, after 11 and a half episodes, I was immersed in the fear of my mother, and I thought it took a lot of work to understand, why let my son be an undercover agent? Why look for his brain when his son is on fire? However, thinking about the mother's mentality is already deformed, and it is also for the needs of designing the conflict in the early stage, so I don't think about it so much.
To be honest, what moved me the most was Norman's death, and the plot of Emma and Thunder's cut ears. Although I like Norman very much, I think his death is the saddest but moving story in this animation. And Ray's suicide also made me worried. He had prepared for six years for his friends to escape, but he never put himself in the plan. He had already reached the end. He was not like Emma. He didn't rely on others. I tried my best, but I didn't want my good friend to share a little bit of this heavy pain. He and Emma are diametrically opposed people, but the last encounter between Emma and him made Ray feel the connection with others, allowing him to see another possibility other than fighting alone. Then, the thought of two 12-year-olds cutting their ears made me twitch.
From the story of Norman and Ray, we can also feel that Emma is the angel who brought changes to the world of the two, and it was Emma who awakened the beautiful side in their hearts. Perhaps Emma's kindness lacks rationality from an intellectual point of view, but there are many things that cannot be rationally explained. Without her obsessive kindness, nothing would be the same.
Although the style of painting is not my favorite, the portrayal of each character is very good, and it is better than the rendering of the plot and atmosphere. Five-star praise!
