People: Wubaizang Senluo, Lianzi
Insect: First Appearance Senluo,
a young man with a magic pen who can give life to the images he draws, meets the insect master Yingu. In the middle of the night, Yingu caught a beautiful girl who was half human and half insect. She was actually Sen Luo's grandmother, Lian Zi. Lian Zi, who participated in the "Insect Banquet", could not die as a complete person, and has been wandering at home. In order to see Lian Zi, Sen Luo raised his magic brush again and drew a green cup filled with the wine of life, so that Lian Zi could live forever as a girl. But the broken cup is difficult to round, and she has lost her human life forever.
Aspect: overwhelming green. As the first episode of TV animation, from the picture to the sound effect, it is amazing, and the overall level catches up with the theater effect, which makes many readers who have been watching with a cold eye arouse great enthusiasm for the animation.
Analysis of translation name: しんら, Senluo, when doing Shinra, it should be a more noble name for the Japanese, and the specific information is to be tested. Personally, I think "Sen Luo" seems to be more in line with the atmosphere of the work. The so-called "Sen Luo Wanxiang" is another meaning of worm.
Episode 2: Light of the
Eyes People: Cui, Aqi
Insect: Dark Pupil & Liquid Insect
The little girl Cui has an incurable eye disease and can only live in a black house. The young Aqi is her only friend. Under the guidance of Cui, Aqi also closed the second eyelid and saw the light in the darkness. But the parasitic worms in their eyes accelerated to multiply. Yin Gu, who came to hear the news, trapped and killed the worm that crawled out of Cui's eyes, but cured Cui's eyes with the worm. Looking at the world with insect eyes, Cui showed a slightly lonely smile.
What to watch: The worms surging out of Cui's eyes rose toward the moonlight. As the first story of the original to win the award, it takes into account the balance of all aspects. First of all, the exciting and exciting process of catching insects has been well commercialized, successfully capturing young audiences who have not been completely attracted. Secondly, the existence of the dark pupil worm and the liquid worm preliminarily shows the world view of the whole work: darkness and light coexist, the world on the other side cannot be touched, and people cannot stare at the world of worms for a long time, otherwise they will lose themselves. Finally, the eyes involved in Yingu's life experience are also mentioned, a suspense that stretches for thousands of miles, echoing the 12th episode "The Fish of the Fish".
Analysis of translation name: Liquid worm, in fact, there is no special term given in this sentence, but it is only described in form. But judging from the later stories, the ones that gushed out of Cui's eyes and that Yingu injected into the fake eyeballs should be the "silver bugs" in "The Fish", that is, the bugs of light that brought "eternal darkness".
Chapter 3: Soft Horns
People: True Fire
Insects: 呍&A
In the silent mountain village covered by snow, villagers are deaf one by one, but Zhenhuo cannot live normally because he hears too many voices. It all has to do with the worms that live in their ears. The secret of expelling them is hidden in the body of the real fire, and the clues are in the last words of the real fire's mother. At a critical juncture, Yingu finally found the answer. He taught Zhenhuo to cover his ears, and heard the loud lava-like sound in his body, which was a will to survive stronger than any life. The worm was finally driven out of the body by the true fire's voice of life.
What to watch: The sound is loud and thin, and there is no trace of falling snow. However, you must have heard the hissing in the ears in the extreme silence, and you must have felt the pulsation of the muscles when you cover your ears. How can it not be amazing that such a huge force is used in our small bodies? ? The exquisite capture of these kinds of sounds is a highlight of this story, and even the hearing effects when the ears are a little blocked and half-pass is so vivid and clear. This sentence is used to "listen". It is recommended not to watch if there is no good sound. The story itself is by far the most positive and clear: Although people seem to be vulnerable in the face of the forces of nature and their emotions, the will to survive is always so strong. Because of this, the teenager can finally say goodbye to loneliness, and live bravely with the thoughts of his mother.
Analysis of translation name: The soft horns grow not only on the head, but also in the hearts of teenagers. There is a translation of "soft corners", but I personally feel that it lacks the charm.
Chapter 4: Pillow Path
People: Gold
Bug: Yumeno
Relying on the precognition dream brought by the insect, Jin held his destiny in his hands. But as the nightmares continue to come true, Jin gradually discovers the terrifying truth. It turns out that what the worm brings is not the ability to predict dreams, but the ability to transform dreams into reality. When Jin found out that his dream had ruined the whole village, deep self-blame and fear drove him to swing the knife, wanting to cut off this endless nightmare. But those who have been in contact with the world on the other side can never come back. Jin finally stabbed the knife at himself.
What to watch: From the 4th episode, a story with an adult as the protagonist finally appeared, so the story began to involve the harsh theme of humans and insects fighting for the right to survive. Yingu expressed his point of view in this statement, and this point of view has been running through the following story: "No one is wrong, people and insects are just to survive. So you have to live." But it ended in tragedy. Personally, I think the picture quality of this episode has declined, and the strange connection process between dream and reality is not as good as the comics. The last statement that "the pillow is the dwelling place of the human soul" also lacks impact. How to say it, it seems that in the stories of "The Insect Master", the stories involving adults are often helpless, sad and hopeless. They can't give up themselves, can't coexist with insects, and in the end, only you and I die, and human beings often become the loser. But then again, the manga of this sentence is really confusing to read, but the animation makes the story clear. Compared with many big-name directors nowadays who do animations that no one understands, this Ma Yue Jiayan is obviously a sincere and kind person... Chapter 5 :
Traveling Swamp , was saved by the passing water worms, so walk with the water worms, although the body has become a part of the worms, the consciousness is still eager to live. However, the water bug's journey ends in death. In the last estuary, Yingu finally rescued the translucent girl from the water worm. She was determined to live by her own strength at the seaside where the water bugs died. And the descendants of the water bugs are still wandering in the woods, looking for their own way.
What to watch: In this episode, Hua Ye, an important friend of Yingu, is a doctor and his hobby is collecting strange things. But my personal favorite is the female voice at the end of the film, she is also the female insect teacher Nuyi who influenced Yingu's life in the 12th episode "The Fish". I have never heard such a powerful and calm and detached female voice in Japanese animation, I was completely shocked. CV Doi Mika, this voice alone is enough to paint thousands of landscapes, Yingu is simply a child compared to her...
Five-word comment:
In this world, there are as many kinds of life as there are How many love-hate separations. Life is beautiful, parting is still sad. Behind the constant encounters and partings, all we can have are memories. This journey will continue as long as the hearts remain. As a youth comic, although the story of the insect master is in the style of a supernatural unit drama, the meaning of the original work is very esoteric and obscure. Therefore, many people are skeptical about the success of animation. But it turns out that any animation can become a classic as long as it finds a balance between business and art. And compared to the manga, the story of the animation is clearer and clearer. From the visual impact of the unusually bright green in the first episode, to the worm in the eyes dancing against the moonlight in the second episode, to the exquisite reproduction of various human voices in the third episode, to the worm that unfolds after the fourth episode The world is like a world, all of which hold the audience's attention tightly. And the beautiful and refined soundtrack and the appropriate seiyuu faithfully reproduce the remote and lonely world of insect masters.
Hua Ye is an interesting person, and Yingu is a bad friend, and he is also one of the rare fixed characters in "Insect Master". Yingu will regularly go to Huayejia during his travels, which is a bit like a transit station. From this point of view, the fifth chapter finally ends in the fishing village where Hua Ye is located, perhaps not for nothing, just ending a round of the animation.
No matter in the picture, music, material selection or plot adjustment, the opening five episodes can be regarded as a model of animation adaptation, not only sincere, but also powerful. Many people who were not optimistic in advance began to follow "The Insect Master", and many people who didn't know it before began to follow "The Insect Master". For most people, it takes time and experience to fully understand the world of insect masters, but animation can give us a world that only needs to be touched, and it is faithful to the original work, and it is easy to understand, attracting more people to the world. In the world of bug masters. Therefore, whether from a commercial point of view or a cultural promotion point of view, the credit for animation goes beyond the original work.
****************************************
After a short break, the journey continues. Can humans and insects live under the same sky without interfering with each other? When the world on the other side meets the human world, the story unfolds quietly, telling the endless fantasy and nostalgia... Chapter 6: Morning Flowers
and Sunset
People: A Xuan & A Gu to the isolated island. The islanders here believe in a "mortal god" who lives and dies. In order to seek personal gain, the island owner seduces his daughter Agu to become a "flesh god" with the flower of the day. With Axuan's help, Yingu found the parasitic worm in Agu's nose. The islanders who learned the truth hacked to death Agu's father. Facing his father's corpse and the back of his childhood playmate, Agu couldn't accept his tragic fate and picked up the blood-stained day face flower again. Perhaps only in a life without sorrow and joy, can she find true happiness and peace. What to watch: The gods in the flesh are ignorant and ignorant, have no desires or desires, and will rapidly age and die at night, and will be reborn together with the newly born sun the next day. Such life forms are amazing to us. However, once you experience life and death, you will feel cringe in the face of the torrent of infinite time. The ending is extremely sad. The child who is perfectly integrated with the insect is actually just escaping from reality, because the human world is so cruel...
Analysis of translation name: The first is to return to the target title: Lu を ぅ absorbing group, which is translated into "sucking group". Personally, one feels awkward, and second, it cannot convey the meaning of the passage of time and the difference between people and people. The second is about the flower that appears in it. The original text is ヒルガオ. Lu Xun has verified that this kind of flower is commonly known as "Convolvulus", which is often referred to in Tang poetry. The official name in Japan is "Day Yan". Similar to morning glory, it blooms during the day, withers at night, and has a strong aroma. Its growth habit also coincides with the daily cycle of the "mortal god" in the story. Similar flowers are Xiyan (blooming in the evening) and Chaoyan (that is, morning glory, blooming in the morning). But generally we don't divide it so finely, so the translation is called "Morning Glory", which is convenient for viewing fluency. But knowing more about this flower may help you understand the story. The third is about the name of the insect. The exact name is not given in the original work, so the name of the flower it parasitizes is temporarily used as the name, and its shape, like the vine of "Convolvulus", is a spring-like spiral. Finally, there are two haiku-like readings about the beginning and the end (my beloved Doi-sama ^_^), most of the subtitles are literal translations, which seem to be telling about the rising and setting of the sun, and the flowers blooming and fading, which is also very good. But I personally prefer the free translation, which is in the signature file, not quoted.
Chapter 7: Rainbow after the rain
Person: Hong Lang
Insect: Rainbow Snake
Yingu meets Hong Lang who travels in pursuit of the rainbow. Although he came from a bridge-building family, Hong Lang has no talent and is ridiculed for his strange name. However, the father, who was obsessed with rainbows, "named the child with the most beautiful thing he had ever seen" moved Honglang. He refused to change his name and embarked on a long journey to find the rainbow. But it wasn't a rainbow, it was the "Rainbow Snake" of the opposite color, a fluid worm alive but without a will. Can Yingu and Hiroro find the Dream Rainbow? The "Hongqiao", which moves with the flow of water, silently tells the persistent life of two generations of bridge builders from father and son.
What to watch: Yingu and Honglang's debate on the meaning of travel. Yingu believes that travel is for rest, and Honglang believes that travel is for searching. Hong Lang said that Yin Gu was too serious about life, and Yin Gu said that Hong Lang was escaping... Of course, I personally like Yin Gu's point of view. Travel with a clear goal, often forgetting the roadside scenery. No matter what kind of travel, it can be said that the biggest gain is the travel itself. Yingu's physique that attracts insects runs all over the world because he can't live in one place for a long time, so his travels also have a sense of nostalgia, and the final stop at the station is his home (regardless of animation or comics, this day should not be too early. Come, Amen). In addition, the "rainbow" held in the hand in this story is also a highlight. "Holding the dream in the hand" has become a visual reality in the world of insect masters, which is very magical.
Chapter 8: Visitors from the sea
People: Bai Yu & Daozi
Insect: Hai Qian Shan Qian
In a small village by the sea, Yin Gu met a strange man Bai Yu. He has been searching for relics since his wife disappeared in the fog at sea. Under Yingu's suggestion, Bai Yu decided to forget the past and start a new life. However, when I followed Yingu to explore "Haiqianshanqian", Daozi, who had been missing for three years, appeared in the fog! Holding his living wife, Bai Yu chose the past again, but could no longer find the direction to return to the land. At this time, Daozi is gradually turning into a bubble in his arms... Facing the inescapable past and the hopeful future, what choice will Bai Yu make?
What to watch: The picture quality has recovered, the color is very good, and through Yingu's mouth, he clearly put forward the point of view that "people who are affected by insects are actually on the road of no return based on their own choices". To put it bluntly, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs"... Bai Yu's wife is very pitiful. She wanted to leave her husband after a short thought, but she just caught up with the insects. She must have regretted it before she died, so that little obsession will meet her husband again three years later through the worm. The direction of the whole story is still relatively clear, about the choice of the past and the future. From holding on to his wife's hairpin, to smiling and watching the little girl in the fishing village put on his wife's relic, Bai Yu's choice is in line with our expectations, which is in contrast to "Morning Flowers and Evening Dew".
Analysis of translation name: Bai Yu, the original text is シロウ, and it is also translated into "Shiro" according to the pronunciation. The specifics are to be tested. Haiqianshanqian: It is said that a snake can become a dragon after cultivating for a thousand years in the sea and a thousand years in the mountains. The original work has no exact name.
Chapter 9: Heavy Fruits
People: Priests
Insects: The Reality of Ruin
In a small village where the harvest can be harvested even in the year of natural disasters, every autumn, one person grows "rui teeth" and dies. Yingu discovered that Ruito is actually a kind of insect called "Broken Reality", which is destroying the balance of nature. However, the priest ignored Yingu's warning and continued to use the "broken truth", and even sacrificed himself in exchange for the happiness of the whole village. In the face of the priest who died in the hope of the prosperity of the village, Yingu decided to break the biggest taboo of the insect master. In the festive sound of the harvest, the priest who no longer looked at this ancestral land, showed a happy smile.
What to watch: This is the first time other insect masters appear in this story, and Yingu is against the sky in this sentence... Wrong, it is to break the biggest taboo of insect masters, intervene in the law of balance of natural forces, and create the second half The "thing" of the human and half-worm - the old priest. Yingu making decisions feels especially cool. And the old priest who followed his own choice and became incorruptible seems to be very happy too, once again confirming that "flies do not bite seamless eggs", the happiness of people still depends on their own choices.
Analysis of translation name: The truth of the broken, ナラズの実, the original meaning is to be tested. (Personal guess: The main idea is that it refers to the fruit that falls after ripening, which means "melon ripening and twig falling off".) Chapter 10 : The White Inkstone
Recreation After the best inkstone, he suddenly suffered from an incurable cold disease. The girl who made the inkstone told Yingu that everyone who used the inkstone table had died of cold, and she gave up making the inkstone after that. It turned out that there was a worm called "cloud-devouring" inhabiting the inkstone. When there was wind, it floated in the sky, and when there was no wind, it was deposited as stone. Chi, who blamed herself, wanted to destroy the inkstone, but Yingu and Huaye believed that the insect was innocent and persuaded her to let the cloud eat back to nature. In the clear summer sky, when the clouds turned into hail and fell, the female inkstone maker also regained her confidence in making inkstones. What to watch: When the cloud bite is forced by the air pressure, it is very spectacular when it drills out of the children's mouth and nose. The portrayal of people's hearts is average, Yingu and Huaye are a little didactic. But the emphasis is on the further unfolding of the worldview: "You're just regretting awakening something that shouldn't have been brought into the world. There's nothing wrong with the worm itself, so it's good to just get it back the way it was.
Analysis of translation name: The female inkstone maker did not have a name in the original work, but the title of "chisel" (chiseling hard objects) appeared in the animation of a certain subtitle group. The name of the worm has been translated into "eat cloud", I personally think it is quite gluttonous, not as good as "eat cloud", it has a kind of elegant and strange charm.
Ten episodes small comment:
These 5 episodes are taken from the stories in volumes 2-3 of the original work. They have matured a lot in terms of plot arrangement and conception. Except for the sixth episode, the story and characters are generally very positive. Whether it is Hong Lang in Chapter 7, Bai Yu in Chapter 8, the priest and couple in Chapter 9, or the inkstone maker in Chapter 10, they all tried their best to control their own lives. The rescued girl was much more positive.
The animation production still maintains the standard, and the picture effects of the seventh and ninth episodes are directly catching up with "The Green Seat". In Chapter 7, when the colorful waterfall flows backwards, the world seems to have the aura of a rainbow snake alone. It is so beautiful that it is suffocating. . In the ninth chapter, the heavy yellow rice grains, when showing the joy of a bumper harvest, also reveal the sadness and heaviness of the alternation of life and death. And the music is getting more and more exciting. The ED of each episode is the background music extended from the plot. It is very natural and has a long-lasting charm with a lingering sound.
The most profound and helpless story is "Morning Flowers and Evening Dew" in the sixth chapter. The bacteria do not know the dark and the moon, and the crickets do not know the spring and autumn, so the insects that die in the morning and evening have no sorrow or joy, and they will not be injured, so it becomes the best way to escape from reality. There are many stories like this in the comics, and they are excellent. But as an animation, I am afraid I will choose a more positive theme.
Like the first five episodes, the story of this round ends at the Huaye family again. Is this a coincidence or deliberate? If it is deliberate, I can probably guess which story of the original work will be chosen in Chapter 15 ^_^
Standing on the intersection of people and insects, in the box of the insect master Yingu, the legend continues...
*** **************************************************** **
Overlooking the mountains, there are thousands of scenery.
Infinite life, indeterminate form, going back and forth between humans and insects, the journey of the insect master Yingu has entered a new chapter in the mountains and fields.
Chapter 11: The Sleeping Mountain
Man:
Wuzhi Insect: Mole & White Snake
Plot: There are various anomalies in the mountains, Yingu manipulates the "mole" to find the missing old teacher Wuzhi, and finds that he is actually a mountain god. It turned out that after the accidental killing of the old mountain god, Wuzhi took on the work of the god and was overwhelmed. For the happiness of the villagers, Wuzhi summoned the "white snake" despite Yingu's dissuasion. After eating the white snake without straightness, he became a new mountain god, and naturally his balance was restored. In the sleeping mountains, only the memory of the deceased still lingers in the chill of the first snow.
What to watch: The third Insect Master, but why is it an old man again... The white snake's cry is very good, the Yingu who summons the Mole is very handsome, and the old Insect Master's hat is very interesting. Yingu wanted to go against the sky again, but failed this time. In the end, he looked into the eyes of the white snake with no sadness and no joy. When he sat on the hillside of the first snow, his back was so
sad
... , there are several translations of this term, which resembles a combination of mole and bathweed. According to its shape, it can be translated as "humus", a kind of wild grass, but its characteristics as a worm are not obvious; according to its habits, it can be translated as "earth dragon", which spreads in the soil, like the nerve of a mountain, but it seems It's so ugly. Finally, according to its activity state, it is combined with insects and translated into "mole insects". (In other words, this thing is much easier to use than Shikigami and Baiyan, but the place of use is relatively limited... I think it's crooked T_T)
Mountain God: There are several names for this word in the original text, the first one is ヌシ, which is Yingu After seeing the vision of the mountain, the initial speculation, such as the gods of the land, can be translated into guardian spirits and spirit beasts. In the story, it refers to the existence of guardian mountains, but Yingu had not yet determined what kind of insects it was at that time. . The second type is the God of the Mountain, which was mentioned by Yingu and the old bug master in the conversation. The clear God of the Mountain, the God of the Mountain who was killed by mistake in the story is a wild boar (reminiscent of "Princess Mononoke"). The third type is クチナワ, which originally means "dragon". It is a kind of insect that eats ヌシ and then replaces it. It looks like a huge white snake and its sound is like ringing a bell. There are subtitle groups translated as "rotten rope", the source is unknown.
Chapter Twelve: The Fish
People: Yingu & Nuyi
Insect: Eternal Darkness & Silver Bug
Plot: An orphan Ayong is adopted by the insect master Nuyi. He found that both Nui and the fish in the pond only have one eye. Nui told him that the "silver bug" parasitic in "Eternal Darkness" took their eyes away. Witnessing the sight of the one-eyed fish being swallowed by "Eternal Darkness", Ayong persuades Nuyi to escape. But it was too late, Nui entered eternal darkness. In order to keep Ayong alive, Nuyi taught him to sacrifice his right eye. When he returned to the human world, Ayong had lost his memory. He named himself "Yingu", looked at the sun with his only eyes, and embarked on a long journey alone.
What to watch: Finally, finally... Come to the volume of Yingu's life experience reveal! The biggest thing to watch is of course Yingu's plain face... Wrong, it's the face of Zhengtai when he is a normal human being. This remark made us discover that the dead fish's eyes also had a pure era when they were round and shiny, which was really touching. Of course, my personal favorite is definitely Nuyi dubbed by Aunt Doi! Yingu's teacher, reborn parent, spiritual mentor... whatever you want to say, her status can't be overstated. In this sentence, the phenomenon of "darkness and light coexisting in the air" since "Light of the Eyelid" is traced back to its origin. "Eternal Darkness" and "Silver Bug" are proposed as official bug names. The secrets of the hair and the one-eyed are also revealed, and a greater suspense is also set up: once the whitening begins, it will become "permanent darkness" sooner or later. So when will the bright world of Yingu come to an end? Worrying and looking forward to the follow-up development. Then we discovered that the world we had been observing with Yingu's eyes was actually descended from Nuyi! No wonder the narration of the previous words uses Nuyi's seiyuu! (It also shows how important the status of my aunt Doi is ^_^).
According to Urushihara, this story was originally independent of the series, but it was deeply loved by readers, probably because most people who watch anime have the habit of asking the origin of the protagonist. By tracing the life experience of the protagonist, we gradually approached Yingu's heart; through Nuyi's story, we calmly made a summary of the worldview of the first 11 episodes. Episode 12 is at the end of a season of animation, and choosing "The Fish" here gives people the feeling that "the story has come to an end", and at the same time there is a vague expectation that "a new journey is about to begin", the producer is indeed quite It took a lot of hard work.
Analysis of the translation name: Yong Dark, the original text "Chang の Dark", means the darkness that always exists. So far, I can't think of a more suitable translation name than "Eternal Dark", although the word looks a bit awkward. Silver bug, the original text is "silver gu", note that "gu" is actually the traditional form of "gu", have you heard the word "demagogic"? That is to say, the name "Silver Gu" has a deceptive connotation. At the end of the article, Yingu's name "ギンコ" seems to be just the katakana pronunciation of "Silver Gu" (not exact, to be tested). The reason why Yin Gu gave himself such a name probably implies that he has not completely forgotten what happened in "Eternal Darkness", at least he still vaguely remembers the pronunciation of the most important "Silver Gu". In this name there is his sunken past, the meaning of his existence, and it will accompany him to finish his life with insects.
Episode 13: One Night Bridge
People: Ah Quan & Hanako
Insect: Pseudo Ge
Plot: In a mountain village that is only connected to the outside world by a suspension bridge, it is said that people who fall under the bridge will lose their souls. Hanako stumbled and fell into the canyon while escaping from marriage with Ah Quan, but she was unharmed. Yingu discovers that she has been parasitized by a bug called "Pseudo-George" and may have died. The only hope is to wait for the "overnight bridge" to appear. At midnight, the pseudo-gem began to migrate, forming a night bridge across the valley. Can it extradite the lovers to the other side of happiness?
What to watch: The formation of Yiye Bridge is not as magnificent as expected. It is tangled in the pale moonlight and disappears silently. But looking back, a pair of little lovers are dead, and the almost black and white picture is more suitable for this story. It must be pointed out again: the principle of "fly not sting" is still valid in this tragedy of buying and selling marriage. Before Ah Quan and Hanako fell off the bridge, they were afraid of the future they had chosen, then hesitated, then flinched, and then turned back. In ancient and modern Chinese and foreign legends, there is no good end to turning back while running away, because it represents the shaking of belief. With such hesitation, even if they escape to the new world, the two of them will not be happy. So, do you pursue your own happiness regardless of others, or sacrifice yourself to fulfill others? Quan and Hanako lost their chance to be happy because of this hesitation. But at the end of the story, Yingu still said, "One Night Bridge will definitely be built again soon." Although the chance to obtain happiness is very short, the desire to pursue is as strong as human beings or insects. As long as there is such a desire, hope will always exist.
Analysis of translation name: Completion. (I watched the version without subtitles, and it is not easy to evaluate for the time being.)
Chapter 14: People in the Cage
: Musuke & Little Snow
Insect: Borrowing Bamboo
Plot: Musuke's family can't leave the bamboo forest, and is considered to be the evil spirit of white bamboo. Yingu discovered that Baizhu is actually a kind of insect called "borrowing bamboo", and Mu Zhu's wife Xiaoxue is the "son of bamboo", a hybrid of human and insect. The sap of Zhu Zhu nourished her and trapped Musuke as well. Seeing the back of her husband's homesickness, Xiaoxue cut down the main bamboo like her father with tears in her eyes.
When Musuke was immersed in the joy of walking out of the bamboo forest and came to his sister's house, which he had not seen for many years, he was blocked by his sister and the villagers as monsters. Beside his wife and children, but because they lost their food source, the "Children of Bamboo" passed away in less than half a year.
Until one day, Musuke, who was wandering alone in the bamboo forest, found new white bamboo. Next to the tombstones of his wife and children in the distance, the baby's cry came again from the new bamboo shoots...
Highlights: Completion.
It can be reminiscent of the story of Princess Takenaka in Japan
.
Episode 15: Xiaochun
People: Chunjian & Ling
Insect: Sky Blowing
Plot: Yingu met sisters and brothers Ling and Chunjian when he was dodging from the wind and snow. Whenever there is a shortage of food in winter, Chunjian will disappear, and then bring wild vegetables that are not available in winter, and sleep until the beginning of spring. Yingu told Ling that the culprit was a bug called "Korokki", and taught Harumi the knowledge of various bugs. But this time, after seeing a coma, he didn't wake up again. Yingu who went to investigate was also sucked by air blowing and fell into a coma... The flowers of the spring that bloomed against the solar terms, air blowing fluttering in the heavy snow, and a farmhouse far away from the hustle and bustle. Here, people and insects live next to each other, what kind of story will happen?
What to watch: Among the stories about Yingu, "Xiaochun" is one of my favorites besides "The Fish of the Fish" and "The Sea of Pens". In the previous story, either the worm ate the man, or the man killed the worm, or drove the worm away. But in this sentence, in the deep snowy mountains, the "magic spring", which absorbs people's essence and brings the message of spring to people, goes home with Chunjian, spends the harsh winter under the same roof, and turns into a cocoon. Butterfly's "air blowing" is actually so beautiful and so peaceful. Isn't the place where people and insects live next to each other, the ultimate realm sought by insect masters, suitable for Yingu's home?
Analysis of translation name: Completion.
Chapter 15 Commentary:
Finally entered the life experience chapter... I mean, we finally know that in addition to a careless doctor friend, Yingu also has an enlightenment teacher Nuyi. Although this female insect master is showing her face for the first time, we will not be too unfamiliar. First of all, Yingu's ability to catch insects from her appearance to her expression was taken from her; secondly, we have not heard her voice less than before - yes, it is the female voice who said white at the end of each sentence, It was full of vicissitudes of strength, that seemingly transcendent and incomparably warm feeling left a deep impression on people. Then, we also know that Yingu was also a very cute little Zhengtai with big black eyes...
This time the stories all happened in the mountains, the sky is light gray in the summer, golden in the autumn mountains and forests, white snow Flowers are blooming on the mountain, Baizhu is more human than human beings, can the Yiye Bridge across the valley extradite the lovers who yearn for happiness... Finally, once the whitening begins, Yingu, who will be swallowed by eternal darkness sooner or later, what is his journey? significance? Where will it end?
It was predicted that the animation would end every five episodes, and the fifth and tenth episodes were indeed ended at Dr. Huaye's house. This time, the transfer station "Xiaochun" also provided us with a good reason for YY: what a good girl Ling is, and how much she needs Yingu. Yin Gusang, bravely pursue love! Let Harumi inherit your mantle...
According to the current trend, there is no responsibility to speculate: the story of "Sea of Pen" will appear in chapter 20 or 26, but "Sea of Pen" in the original work is in front of "Xiaochun"... ...Could it be that the producer wants to match Yingu and Ling? But I prefer the disabled girl who is full of "paper fish"...
I'm afraid the finale will be open-ended. It's like episodes 5, 10, and 15. The journey has come to an end for now, and it seems that there is a sign of the end, but when I look up, the future is still very long, and the roadside scenery is endless, so The story never ends.

Small comment:
Farewell to "Xiao Chun", which was so lonely and so alive, the beginning of this journey ushered in the good spring of "Snake of Dawn". The production level of the 16 episodes surpassed the first 15 episodes, and it is estimated that it is enough to disdain the last 11 episodes and dominate the commanding heights of the film-if the finale of the inevitable triple jump is excluded.

In order to make the worm fall asleep, Danyou must record the story of the worm, so he cannot move freely, and spends all day with pen and paper.

However, these stories recorded in the "Hunting House Bunko" are nothing but hatred and killing. Until one day, a man with white hair and green eyes appeared in front of her. After hearing the girl's wishes, the man named Yingu begins to tell new stories about life and emotions.
The picture scroll of the insect master begins here. All the stories are back to where they started.
It wasn't until the end that we found out that everything was a story told by Yingu. We are guarding the screen, just like Danyou guarding the study. We are all trapped in reality, and we can only touch that world in Yingu's story, which is far away and colorful.
After the paper disappears, the story remains; after the story disappears, the memory remains; after the memory disappears, the emotion remains.

Bug: Cotton (Manahiko)
Akira gave birth to a green silt-like thing after a year of marriage, which escaped to the ground along a crack in the floor. One night a year later, Ming and her husband found a baby under the floor. Because the baby looked a lot like the Ming couple, they were adopted and named "Manahiko".
Cotton Yan grows very fast, likes to eat small fish and fruits, and grows to about 3 years old before half a year, but the intelligence is the same as that of a baby. But after this, one will be born from the ground every six months. Three years later, the eldest son was covered in green spots and was on the verge of death.
Yingu found that cotton Yan is actually a kind of insect called "Mian Tu", "Mian" is a green fungus-like insect that spreads through spores and is born by a person's mother. When it was first born, it was a green silt-like thing that escaped to the ground along the cracks in the floor. A year later, "human velvet" grows under the floor. Human velvet is in the form of a baby, but it is not actually a human child. The human velvet body is connected with the cotton's body by something like a thread. Part of the body that delivers nutrients. Human velvet will die after completing its mission, and when it is about to die, it will spit out a lot of "seeds" from its body. So he must be killed before he dies.
Before his eldest son Myahiko died, Yingu injected poison and then incinerated the corpse, preventing the spread of spores.
The mother of the child, Ming, once killed her child by mistake because of an incident, and has been condemning herself, and this child is her only spiritual sustenance. Can Mingneng watch in pain as the child is killed on his deathbed? What kind of torture is this for a mother?
After the death of the eldest son, Myahiko, children are still born one after another from the ground. These children will continue to take on these tasks. What should Yingu do? Is it to make a mother completely desperate and kill "Miantu"? Or let the situation develop?
This sentence is relatively cruel, but the author is a kind person, and finally gave a relatively perfect ending. Let's watch it quietly.
The spit floats in the air like green cotton wool, enters the pregnant woman's womb, and parasitizes on the fertilized egg. Although born in the form of silt, it quickly escapes under the floor or onto the ceiling. A year later, the baby-like "human mushroom" began to be returned to its biological parents. The body of the "human mushroom" and the body of the worm are connected by silk-like things, and those are just part of the worm that delivers nutrients to the body. "Human mushroom" scatters a lot of "seeds" when it is dying. Information perceived by one person spreads to others because each person is part of a whole that is connected by roots.
When Miantu senses a crisis such as a disaster, it will separate the "human mushroom" and try to let the seeds escape elsewhere, and the "human mushroom" will change its shape and sleep forever.

Tinder is very common, and it should be the habit of very few individuals that disperses the poison. That thing can set people on fire, get fire, and when they mature, they can use that fire to lure people and absorb their heat.

Episode 26: The Sound of Treading Grass (new)
Mountain Here is the flow of light veins. The source of life flows on this land, mixed into the water, evaporates, and forms fog, so the fog here is alive, so the color and shape are not the same every day. You can see the condition of the land by looking at the fog. If it is slightly cyan, the mountain air is calm and suitable for traveling; if it is slightly red, the opposite is true. If it is slightly golden, the mountain conditions are the best, and it is the most suitable for starting.
This land used to be "Light Vein Flow", but it was abandoned, and many insects moved with it. Only some insects remained near people. The child's physical weakness was almost the reason.
