As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell. Mr. Nagai Hao celebrated his 50th professional career, and Netflix jumped up and down, grabbing the adaptation rights of Hao Shen's career masterpiece "Devil Man". Although the budget is not very big, I can only do ten episodes (. But I still invited a golden combination like Yuasa Okawachi Kensuke Ushio. I am counting the days on pins and needles and looking forward to the day of the broadcast, but the whole viewing process is not like me. As I thought, it flew into the sky like a rocket, but when it hit the sky, it was about to be dropped by shit. crazy journey.
plot
The adaptation of the plot is the top priority of any adaptation, let alone a manga as old as this. Hao Ye's original work adheres to the plot principle of "whatever is written, just draw it as soon as the inspiration hits the forehead", and has created many bugs with a five-star difficulty factor, which is not friendly to the adaptor. But Mr. Da Hanoi still tried his best to make up for it, such as changing the relationship between the characters, adding a studio line to connect the appearance of Wei Meng and Shi Liyu, and connecting the plot of the heroine being possessed in the bathroom; The juvenile relationship of Satan makes the plot of Satan falling in love with the devil [I was shocked to drop my chopsticks in the original book] more convincing; adding the story line of the immobile parents appearing on the turtle's back, rounding out the bug of a little girl inexplicably appearing in the original book ( The animation has a tribute); adding the mental journey of the gangster, the characters are fuller, and the last desperate protection is also reasonable.
The portrayal of the heroine Miki has become a lot more plump, and the demonization of her younger brother is also a highlight.
What I prefer is the increase in the number of scenes between the dead and the immobile, a scene of sexual intercourse is filmed to the fullest, the desire of the dead for Anmon, and the desire of the dream for the dead have completely enriched the demons. Shaping, smiling contentedly in the sun, the dead sister Liyu who died was the most beautiful demon in the world.
But Okawachi-sensei, and possibly Yuasa-sensei, is too greedy. He not only wants to complete, but also to perfect, and to make sense in every aspect. This approach does not enhance the experience of watching the movie, but adds to the superfluousness and detracts from the despair of the original work. Dark cult glow.
For example, in the original novel, Asuka and Fudo are two heroes fighting side by side. Asuka cares about the future of mankind more than anyone else. He discovers the weakness of human beings and fights with all his strength, but things always go in the direction of his fear. Development, and finally the truth came out, Asuka is actually Satan who subconsciously planned everything, and all the previous things were just played by "Satan". The blackening of the birds in the original work is shocking. The reader steps into the trap of the lord step by step, watching the extinction of human beings. The emotional impact is huge. But the animation part focuses on the indifferent and evil side of Asuka. Originally, the demon read Asuka's fear, listened to the instructions of "Satan", exposed himself, and passersby began to become devils. Such a crazy scene was actually adapted into Asuka's decision to expose the devil in a sober state. Do you think it makes sense, Mr. Okawachi! ? I was looking forward to how the chaotic scene here will play out, but I didn't expect it to evaporate! ! ! Don't say that Asuka has no heroic temperament, it even makes people think who this is if it is not a boss? The blackened remarks made by Asuka on TV are really bland.
Speaking of the two characters of Miko and Xintian, I understand that Okawachi-sensei created two people with similar fates but eventually parted ways in order to express the differentiation of human beings faced with choices and the Dumbledore-style view that "love" saves everything. But after careful analysis, Mr. Da Hanoi wanted to express:
1. Demons will also split.
But in the end the plot did not mention the differences between the demons at all, but because the inexplicable plot of the two of them running on the rooftop wasted a lot of scenes that could have been shared with other demons.
2. Love can conquer all.
Then what? What's the point of the relationship between the little brother and Miko, who rapped to the point where I couldn't bear it? In the end, Miko shouted "I like you" is love? Miko's death does seem heroic, sacrificing herself for Miki, but what is the significance of this sacrifice plot? no. The role of Meizi didn't work, but took up a lot of time. Thinking about it, the time was compressing the battle of Dead Liyu, the horror scene of Meishu's bathroom encountering the devil, and the battle scene between the turtle devil and Xiaoming. . If it weren't for Ami Koshimizu's sake, I might have skipped them all.
Okawachi teacher deleted the evil doctor in the original book and asked Asuka to tell the cause of the devil, but my satisfaction was ruined by Miki's diary for a minute, and I stood still like a sacrifice. at the scene, shouting angrily at the crowd. The demon begged humans to restore their sanity. In the original book, there was no reconciliation, but he kept thinking about why all this was, "Is it worth fighting for humans?" The final conclusion of this thinking is, "As long as I still have Miki, and the people I want to protect, are worth fighting for." So he ran towards Miki's house, and everyone knew what happened after that. The progressive hell-like blow hits the hearts of Fudo Akira, and the desperate atmosphere of the entire comic reaches its climax.
As a result, everyone in the animation hugged, and the square was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
Then Xie Lang appeared for some unknown reason, and then he started to fight, and then he didn't know if the fight was over, but he would run to Meishu's house. Maybe it was the scene record that quietly reminded the director that "the next scene will be at Meishu's house". The black air pressure accumulated in the front disappeared with a hammer, so when I saw Miki's head later, I really didn't know what to say. I can understand what Ouchi-sensei means. Since the doctor was deleted for the sake of time, there is no story of other demons being discovered and rescued, so Miki should appeal and let all the demons stand up. OjbK, but the whole work just slipped into the abyss of mediocrity, and it's just a breath away from the masterpiece.
The plot that gave me the most myocardial infarction was the final battle. I was happily watching the "this is a very fierce battle" in the original book, which turned into a real scene, and Yuasa's battle scene finally has When I got the facts, I was clapping and cheering, waiting to hear the classic narration of the last flying bird.
Sudden.
Asuka started to howl like a stupid male lead in a third-rate romance drama.
Da Hanoi I killed you
Those who haven't read the original book may not know how beautiful Asuka's final confession is. This moment belongs to Satan who led the peasant uprising, to Satan who sees everything after fighting with the sky, the earth and the people, and it belongs to the unmoving love and hate that disappears. Invisible, Satan who has gained everything and lost everything. Ruined by the lines. Ruined, Dahanoi, did you hear, ruined.
If I hadn't taken a quick-acting heart pill right away, my ass would have slid under the seat.
Roller coaster, old people can't bear it.
picture
In a word, neither Yuasa nor Nagai Hao.
Yuasa held this hot potato in his hand, and finally decided not to be too crazy, compressed his style, and handed in a satisfactory paper. In my opinion, Yuasa carefully did what he was good at, and tried not to do what he was not good at (.
The Sabbath at the beginning is the part I look forward to very much. Drugs, psychedelics, sex, violence, desire, conflict, which one is not something that Yuasa can play with, but the finished product seems to be an understatement. People who have not seen Yuasa may I will be a little surprised, but to be honest, this is a relatively mediocre Yuasa creation. Yuasa in the last three episodes seems to have been holding back for a long time, and there are many beautiful shots, but the overall sense is not very special. This is not Yuasa's limited ability, but Nagai Hao-sensei's home. He can't dominate the audience, and the budget for Netflix's 10 episodes is really tight.
The part that is not good is, to put it bluntly, fighting. In Hao Ye's original work, fighting is not only fighting, but there are tricks in it. For example, when fighting the turtle-backed demon (forgot the name), Fudo and the demon suffered from each other's spiritual pollution during the fight, and finally saw the truth and broke through their obsessions to win. But there is no battle in the animation, the seiyuu is very cost-effective to say a big pass, sensational a big pass, do not move "I punch you in the past and you may die." The battle is over.
There is another very inexplicable place. The part where the heroine Miki takes a bath is very similar to a horror movie in the comics. The devil follows Miki, and Miki starts, and the devil appears in the mirror. Miki soaks in the pool, and the devil Miki appeared silently behind her, unaware. I thought it was amazing at first sight. In the animation, the demon "Sou" rushed into the bathroom, flooded Miki in the next second, and then Miki was possessed.
I think I have no budget. Although you deleted the rap for me, there must be time, but I shut up.
But there is one thing I am very grateful for. In the original book, Lord Hao’s setting of male demons can be described as strange, but for women, the main thing is that the tits are split, the tits become longer, and the tits are sprayed. These tricks, even Even the dead sister Liyu couldn't escape the dew-tits-child setting. Fortunately, Yuasa gave female demons other possibilities, making tits less prominent. Grateful.
music
Kensuke Ushio's performance was the only part that exceeded my expectations.
Teacher, you have worked hard, and the five-star is yours to pull up, compare your heart.
Jesus
Ah, when I talk about this Jesus, the sweat on my forehead flows down.
I haven't read Mr. Dahanoi's previous works (I haven't read the original work, I don't count the legend of the sword wind), I don't know what special hobby he has for Jesus. It's true that Sodom's stalk is used, but Jesus is used as a metaphor for how I can't see how I'm twisted. In order to get involved with the Bible, Miki's father was turned into a foreigner. Oh, Mr. Dahanoi, I'm not good at learning and my heart is not good. What does this mean? What sins do you have to bear on the human race? The immovable in the original book is more like a demon, powerful, violent, and desperate. It has all the characteristics of being a classical hero and fighting the gods to save mankind. Why do you insist on Jesus? Metaphors, OK, Jesus and Satan, humans and demons, anyway, it hurts my heart to change the epic to something God babbles about. Maybe other audience members have ideas, but I can understand it, but it is difficult to accept.
flying bird
Speaking of birds, the animation is completely based on a cold and cruel Satan, a god who has no love or hate. I think if you shape it like this, then follow it from the beginning to the end, why the fuck is the blood of the dog suddenly spilled at the end? Are you responsible for viewers who don't have quick-acting pills?
The Asuka in the original book is more like an evil god driven by hatred. He hates that humans have taken away the earth, and that dirty creatures like humans are pleasing to the gods, while the pure and vivid demons in his eyes are exiled. He designs everything and fights the gods for free will, for the right to live. From this perspective, Satan is also a standard classical hero. The complexity of Satan's image has been discussed by countless predecessors, so I won't repeat it here. Just say the end.
After the war, all the creatures on the earth were silent, lying still on the ground, looking at the distant starry sky, and the birds beside him telling about their past battles. Asuka finally understood that destroying a race out of personal love and hatred is no different from a cruel god, but what is the use of regret at this time, he turned his head and saw that his unmoving, calm and frozen gaze was still there. Gazing at the sky. Die like a hero. Behind him, the holy light of God shone, angels descended, and Brahma chanted endlessly. But Asuka lowered her head and looked at Fu Ming, who could never wake up again.
How beautiful!
Pity. I'm also looking forward to the seiyuu saying how majestic, how depressing and decadent this episode will be, who knows it will turn into a howl.
I'm going to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
