1. The funny scenes in the comics are deleted, so that the whole animation is in a more serious and desolate style, which greatly enhances the realism of the story. The whole ova has created the image of the indifferent swordsman and killer who is not easy to be seen through the emotions at the beginning, to the character change of Kenshin in the last two episodes, the characters are very three-dimensional.
2. Deleted the dialogue scene in the second comic. The big characters "Flying Swordsman" are really ruining the atmosphere in the comic storyboard (well, the original work was originally a juvenile comic). In the animation, the feeling of Jianxin is perfectly in line with the image of Li Bai's "The Xia Xingxing": "Kill a person in ten steps, and leave a thousand miles behind. When things are done, go away and hide your merits and fame." Specifically, Jianxin When walking to the forest to find Ba, the fierce battle with [An Naiwu] is an excellent example of "silence is better than sound".
3. The use of various flashback storyboards and lenses, such as the characters of Kiyosato, appeared many times in the next two episodes.
4. The perfect combination of "material sorrow" and "atmosphere" is mainly achieved through a large number of scenes and items, such as the red toon near the appearance of Qingli in the first episode, which also appeared after the sword heart battle of the three in the fourth act , the meaning of which the audience can naturally understand. In addition, a large number of objects and scenes, such as iris flowers in the rain at night, cherry blossoms in spring, reeds by the river, and birds soaring into the sky, all express the emotional tone of the story. It should be said that the production team is not only pursuing visual effects, but also pursuing a purpose of "expressing meaning through objects".
5. Various details and volt line points. For example, the first scar that does not stop bleeding, and the plot points that appear every time you bleed, all the gentlemen who have seen it have their own experience.
6. The cross wound at the end is a masterpiece. This is also the best scene in the anime adaptation work (probably not one of them). Compared with the accidental scratch in the original work, the artistic conception is not only a little bit higher.
7. More historical events are depicted, and the animation tells the "Ikedaya Incident" in more detail, which makes it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in the era of war and change at the end of the curtain, and further enhances the realism of the story.
8. More expressive martial arts designs and movements than comic storyboards.
9. Ba's inner monologue in the third episode is far better than the straightforward confession in the comics.
10. Takuya Iwasaki's music. In Memories "KO.TO.WA.RI", Sound of Snow Falling, Alone Again, Quiet Life and other soundtracks, even if you listen to them alone, it is easy to make people feel the feelings of the characters in the reminiscence chapter and the troubled times of chaos and disputes at the end of the curtain.
The summary is: Director Guqiao Yihao is a god in the reminiscence chapter, borrowing a certain bgm boss's evaluation of him: "Guqiao is based on script interpretation and re-analysis to construct the language of the lens, and you must understand Guqiao. First of all, we must grasp the main line connotation of the story, and then we can dig out the amount of information Guqiao spews out of the script. He is a first-class performance master.” In addition, all the members of the production team are doing their best to pursue the perfection of animation art. In the personal animation experience, in the shaping of "material sorrow" and "artistic conception", in the themes of "martial arts" and "history", there is still no "Rurouni Kenshin Remembrance".
