Some time ago, the Japanese media voted for the nation's favorite period drama anime, and "Gintama", based on the history of the end of the Shogunate, was elected with a high vote
. There are so many anime works based on history, and works with the theme of Shogunate Restoration are also common. How did "Gintama" get the love of Neon and many diehard fans in China for so many years? In addition to the natural volume that loves sweets and picks nostrils and does not fall off the chain at critical moments, what is more attractive is the silver-style philosophy from beginning to end: the digestion and reconstruction of Bushido spirit.

In the 1960s, the wave of deconstruction swept through various fields such as philosophy, literature, film and television, and music, and Japanese animation, which started almost at the same time, also had works that deconstructed traditional paradigms. "Gintama", which was serialized in 2004 and is about to come to an end, is a model that does its part. Bushido with class attributes has been decomposed into following the individual's inner choice, and the serious historical facts are decomposed into the daily life that each individual can empathize with. In the dissolution and reconstruction of the solemn spirit, an interpretation with its own identity is obtained. The recently released new animation "100% Psionics" is also a boutique based on deconstruction. It is also a process of digestion and reconstruction. Its object has shifted from Bushido to superpowers. Coupled with the strong production team and the liver-breaking painting, it has received over 3 million views and over 100,000 barrages since its launch at station B. Lost in April's popular "What are you doing in Shimo Sakamoto".

Superpower, the masturbation object with its own halo, is a special setting that has nothing to do with most of us. Movies and animations often let some ordinary people have superpowers, thus becoming the bearers of legendary events: those with superpowers. Captain America leads the Avengers to save the earth again and again. The superpowers who study in Xiongying Academy take the responsibility of upholding justice as their own responsibility and are good at cultivation. Superpowers can give people the illusion of transcending daily life and not being disciplined. It seems that individuals with superpowers can live a remarkable life with their own plug-ins from now on.

The protagonist of this work, the high school student named Long Tao, is such a high school student who has the super power of removing spirits. But aside from this plug-in setting, he is introverted and sluggish, who is not good at speaking. For Long Taojun, having superpowers is not a special existence. It will not change the minds of those who hated him before, nor can the introverted Long Tao learn to look at the atmosphere and speak.

Without a sense of justice, without feeling that he is a boy chosen by fate, he has to live a life that does not depend on superpowers. He joined the Body Transformation Club to actively run and exercise. "I want to live without superpowers and explore my other charms, so I start by exercising my muscles." In this anime, superpowers lose their absolute status beyond ordinary people, and they no longer become the object of moral imitation. Super power can reach the lust of the viewer. This is an ordinary high school student who can only appear in the background board. It is a story that is related to the daily growth of each individual and the special setting that has nothing to do with the vast majority of individuals.

Excellent works are always the combination of good stories and strong paintings. The reason why "100% Psionic Power" has received so much attention is that in addition to the author one telling a good story, the animated version of the liver-breaking painting has also become the focus of the pursuit. One Sanguanzheng, who only serialized comics on the Internet in 2009, has a big brain hole, but he is not very good at drawing, so it is quite difficult to adapt his works. The animated version of "Ping Neng" was produced by the bone company, which is famous for its conscience paintings. At the end of the last century, President Nan Yayan took a group of people away from Risheng Taisha. With the idea of ​​​​making a backbone animation, the company was named "bones". , fans affectionately call it "Bone Club". "Fullmetal Alchemy", "Symphonic Psalm", and "Noragami", which dominated the screen B station last year, are all from Bones Club. Nan Yayan liked the work "Psionic Energy" very much, and personally showed the spoon that he bent with "superpower" on twitter (Longtaojun often accidentally bends spoons with superpower) to show his support for this work.

Supervising Tachikawa Rang served as a storyboard performance in the original author One's previous comic adaptation "One Punch Man", and this time he is the supervisor of "100% Psionic Power". As a realism supervisor who has directed realism animations such as "Death Billiards" and "Death Parade", Rang Tachikawa not only did not feel uncomfortable in this unrestrained work, but also gave full play to his realism performance advantages. The character performances of the master and other characters are better than the original work of the rough mine. The genius painter Kameda Shoron, known as the "Keda of the World", served as the painting supervisor of "Spiritual Energy". As a painter who is partial to Jintian, his exaggerated picture expressiveness and various distorted perspectives of the original work can hardly be better. The brush special effects and BL shadows that Kameda is particularly good at also appear in the film, and a few thick ink strokes outline the image of the boss of the body transformation agency. In addition, the stunning long shot at the opening of the op was also made by Kameda, and the official tweet also specially announced the original painting of this paragraph.

Due to constraints such as production costs and duration, the carnival of painting artists usually gathers in the production of theater animations. The production time for 2D hand-painted theater animations such as "Steam Boy" and "Letter to Peach" is more than five years. "redline" directed by Ken Koike took seven years to produce, nearly three years of intensive painting, and hand-painted 100,000 original paintings, making "redline" known as "the ultimate 2D painting". There are nearly 10,000 paintings in the first episode of "Psionic Energy", and it is really rare to insist on the basis of stories and paintings surrounded by many cute and rotten works. On this basis, the animation version is also very attentive to the restoration of the original comics. The ugly character design that is loyal to the original, the distorted wide-angle lens and distorted scene settings, and the direct use of the original pencil draft are all intentional.


Good story, strong painting, the most not to be missed in the new summer show is "100% Psionics", it is better to eat with the barrage.
