As an old anime fan for many years, I also watched the 03 version of steel when I was a child. I have almost forgotten the plot. The only remaining impression is that it feels particularly bloody and violent, and that the characters inside are particularly distorted and dark (except for lust Sister Lust is really sexy hhhh), the reason why she is not impressed may be because of her young age on the one hand, and because she can’t understand her 80% of the time. Later, I finished watching Steelmaking FA in about 10 years. At that time, I couldn’t say anything other than sighing that it was made by God. Now I think the main reason is that my brain is not enough at that time, except for the simple adjective of God made. Nothing else can be summed up
With the attitude of not being able to miss the work of God, I took my youth body and the insights of the youth and reviewed FA (hereinafter referred to as FA) again. What I found was indeed a work of God, and even Rising to the height of that kind of great literary work (my judgment of whether it is a great literary work is actually simply whether it can cause us to really think deeply), in fact, the theme of steel and steel, in addition to recovering the body of the bright line, the author wants more What she expresses is her deep thinking about the significance of human existence and major issues such as race, war, and country, but these contents are undoubtedly meaningless and boring to me when I was still a teenager. Alright, the background introduction has been completed, so let’s talk to you about some of my thoughts
about Steelmaking and the rhythm of the story.
First, let’s talk about the rhythm of the story. I think the reason why people say that FA is the ceiling of comic animation is largely because the rhythm of the plot is too tight. The main line is unfolded one by one without any daily routine, even if there are a few It seems to be a daily chapter, such as the particularly miserable fourth episode, the episode where the little girl is turned into a synthetic beast by her father, and it also exists to make Ed understand the wrong direction of the human body and the appearance of Skar. These foreshadowings are very necessary for the growth of the characters and the integrity of the plot. The play down there is no clear-cut piece together the story comes, but directly at one go turns out to be the whole point of no urine, are several times made me tired just stop and rest
on fighting
except paced plot, I do not know Have you discovered that Ed is actually a protagonist with almost no protagonist's halo? Why? (Ps: I admit that the final battle is completely open.) The first important point is that, from beginning to end, Ed has basically never defeated any powerful villain boss, that is, "artificial human." This is unbelievable in the traditional hot-blooded comics. You can think that every time you see an artificial human, Ed is either running or being abused, and the reason why he escaped many times is because he and his younger brother are the last "agreement." The enemy had to waterproof
Lust sister Lsut was burned to death by Da Zuo, gluttony fat Glutony was eaten by his elder brother arrogantly, Greedy Greedy was absorbed to death by his father, President Wrath was Moxi Dry Bear + Fu Ye + Greedy + Minion A+Skar killed them together. Envy was also the head taken by Da Zuo directly. Lazy Sloth was the head taken by the man with his own star, Major Armstrong and his sister Queen Queen. The only one who was defeated by Ed was the eldest brother Pride. Because of forcing Dazuo to open the door, his combat power is estimated to be about 10% left, so Ed picks up a leak.
Although the last battle became Ed’s boxing exhibition match, everyone’s output in the front must have been indispensable. For the abused male protagonist Ed in the 61 episodes, although the final outbreak is a little unreasonable in terms of combat power, it can be described as a mess, because this is the only and last time the male protagonist has opened the game, and even the younger brother is also the second male. All the little angels of Al have been put in, which broke the hearts of the audience masters. The audience’s emotions have been completely ignited. When you are dominated by emotions, your rationality will naturally be in a state of rest. The boss does this. For good reason, it has reached the point where immortality is not enough for civilians to indignation. How can we consider the combat power? To revenge Al and kill the boss is what we just need at this moment~ So those seemingly unreasonable places, also Because of his emotions, he was reasonably accepted
But what Balabala said so much is not to say that there is a problem with the FA battle, but precisely because it feels that this is good enough and true enough! Why the protagonist has to be better than the villain, only those brainless, passionate animes will "basically rely on roaring for output, and basically rely on watching for support". There are too many routines of killing monsters and upgrading, and it is a bit of aesthetic fatigue (I believe everyone After watching Luffy’s change to fourth gear, he must have the same feeling as me.) The fighting method of steel and full-time hunters, which relies on some wit + team battles every time, can really make people shine. It feels, and it makes people feel more reasonable. This is too important for the movie-watching experience. How many good animations end up in the battle power setting (Naruto, Monster Tail, and Death are especially even, of course, as a long-form anime There are indeed difficulties) And the inevitable result of such a reasonable combat power setting of Steelmaking is that the supporting characters other than the protagonist have also become very plump and charming (after all, whoever takes the head and pulls the wind) Let’s talk about it next. Talk
about the characters in FA about the characters
The male lead and the male two actually played the roles of a little angel and a little devil, respectively. Ed is arrogant, and Al Yangguang is warm. Some clues can be seen from the attitude of the two of them towards their father. The two of them continue to grow as the journey unfolds, and at the same time they are constantly exploring the truth of this world and pursuing the truth they want in it. However, the reality is often cruel, and the cruelty far exceeds ours. Imagine that when the Eric brothers discovered that even the entire reality itself was their enemy, they still did not give up, but instead chose to do their best to find the truth they were pursuing under limited conditions (knowing that the president is man-made) The queen still keeps on exploring) Their growth and tenacity are obvious to all
In fact, think about it carefully, isn't each of us from being full of ideals in our youth, to being crushed by a monster called reality to being completely wounded, so we are forced to sink and float to merge with it? However, as long as we still have what we want to pursue in our hearts (dreams, truth and other sublime things), then we have not been completely defeated by reality, and we have not given up the possibilities of being human!
Stubborn I always believe that apart from reproducing offspring, each of our "people" must have other special missions. It’s just that some people are lucky to find his mission, so I sincerely hope that everyone can do it too. Hold on to the once beautiful and innocent ideals in your heart, no matter what it is, no matter how many people laugh at it, you must grit your teeth and persevere, and finally complete this mission. Such people must be the happiest
Oops, if I was not careful, I got a wave of chicken soup and got a little far away. Then I will talk about other characters. In the play, the heroine Wen Li is also a more brilliant character, especially Wen Li's growth, from the beginning, sitting on the ground and crying helplessly. Later, I handed over my earrings to the male lead, and promised that I would never cry again in the future. Even if I cry, I must cry happily! This agreement was maintained until the end of the play, and finally Al Ed knocked on the door of the house, one sentence: ばか, お帰り (stupid, you are back), one sentence: ただいま (I'm back), this kind of backlog of joy and weeping for so long , Really makes people have to be moved, it can be called the biggest tear point in the whole show
The popular flame Dazuo is also one of my favorite characters. As a man who wants to become a president, he is really attractive. Dazuo’s several true feelings are all wonderful scenes in the play, such as at the funeral of Hughes. The sad tears flowed from the death of the comrade-in-arms, and she insisted on saying that she was not crying, but it was raining, which was really distressing. And the scene of Dazuo VS jealousy is also a classic. It perfectly interprets Dazuo’s grief and anger over Hughes’s death. The extreme anger caused such a calm person to lose himself, and finally he regained his consciousness because of the education of the enemy and the children. It’s really thought-provoking. We have been dazzled by all kinds of negative emotions for a while, and then we have been well educated by the people we least want to be educated by them, and this kind of education is often the most effective.
Other characters actually say The truth is also very brilliant. For example, Skar has changed from a racial vendetta terrorist to a substantive national salvation hero. Another example is the discussion between the new king’s son Yao Lin and the president on what is the real "king", and our funny Major Armstrong, a man with his own star, Lieutenant Hughes, who has not played much but is very popular, and of course, our beautiful guards of the new country Lan Fang and Mengmeng Da Xiaomei are very impressive (because of the space is not here. A repeat)
Another thing I have to mention is that the villains in FA are also extremely successful, whether it is the greedy Geedy who claims to want everything, but in fact only wants "companion", or on the surface he hates humans and plays with humans. In the applause, Envy, who really envied human beings, and the invincible president who carried out his beliefs and persisted in fighting to the end, made people feel the thickness of characters close to great literary works. A character is by no means the simple black and white setting that can be summed up casually when he was a child. This is also the reason why the audience members burst into tears when these villains die. To a large extent, it’s because they couldn’t do what they did. They are forgiven, but at least can be understood, which led to our emotional resonance of such a work is considered the greatest work
summary
In addition to those mentioned above, FA’s BGM is also a foul-like existence. How many times the heavy and tragic theme sounded, our goose bumps could not help but rise up, and the almost religious music was filled with it. There is a hint of hope in the despair, which is really amazing. Another point I have to mention is that FA’s detailed control is also a model of God. For example, when Aide and his party came to the gate of the Fifth Research Institute for the second time (at this time, there were more than 50 episodes). You can also see the 19th episode of Da Zuo burning the ashes of the lustful sister, and the wall made by alchemy during the previous fight. For another example, when Al used his own life to train Ed's right hand back, he could clearly see that the nails of the right hand were very long, and compared to the muscular left hand, the right hand became very slender because of being in the "door" for a long time. The processing of these details will make people feel that this is a sincere work
Of course, the central idea of "equivalent exchange" is even more pervasive and thought-provoking. If you want to get something, you must pay an equal price. In this way, the old-fashioned theory is perfectly presented in this play. For those of us, we always think. It is undoubtedly a deep warning for lazy people who get something for nothing. There is no such thing as "pies falling in the sky" under the world. If there is, it is only because the hidden costs are deeper and you don't find them in time! I really thank Aunt Niu for letting us see such a great work
The above are some of my thoughts about revisiting FA this time. You are welcome to discuss with me. Friends who have not seen it can really make up for it. This magical work will definitely make you feel the charm of anime, and I hope Aunt Niu I can make more good works in the future~
If you like my article, I hope you can add a wave of attention: Rayman's upgrade path, there are also many articles I wrote before. Thank you for reading here. I wish you all a happy day.
