In fact, it was only after the second season of the animation that I was accepted by Amway. It was quite interesting to see the setting of the big world, so I took the time to watch the first season~
From the very beginning I was completely attracted by this torn butterfly!
The painting style of the whole animation is actually quite healing, especially when a group of children are chatting and playing. Even if it is a ghost, the style of painting in the film is not scary.
In fact, in my opinion, the orphanage is the current breeding farm. Every mother wants to raise the best child. Reminds me of another work. I forgot the name. The world view in it reverses human beings and livestock. Chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and pigs manage farms one by one, and they raise the humans on their tables. So at first, this worldview didn’t surprise me, I just thought it was interesting.
It wasn't until it was gradually revealed that Ray knew the truth about the orphanage from the very beginning, and then guided Norman and Emma to discover it, I sighed - it's really not mainstream, no, the one who takes the first test is the smartest and most scheming. !
The second time I was amazed was letting the audience know that Ray was Elizabeth's son through Elizabeth's memories, which I really didn't expect. Because in fact, from the very beginning, I had several questions: First, where is the last stop of the orphanage? That is, where do these children come from? Second, what is the outside world like? I don't know if it will be answered in the future.
Before reading the comments, many people complained that the rhythm of the animation narrative was not well grasped, and they did not show Lei's step-by-step, scheming, and strategizing before. Most of Emma's scenes were cut off to make everyone feel that Emma is not innocent but "The Virgin". But I think these two points are well presented in the film. At least when the three first places were introduced at the beginning, I felt that the most silent Lei must be a big boss. It depends on whether he goes the right way or the wrong way in the end. As for Emma, although Norman was moved by her determination to save everyone, we, who have been beaten up by reality, will definitely make the same "profit-maximizing" choice as Lei when we resist the world. After all, there is no protagonist. With the halo, it is difficult for us to successfully escape. But this is where this "evil drama" is different from reality!
However, such animations are destined to be difficult to maintain high scores. After all, the setting of the big frame, the shaping of the characters, and the advancement of the plot are very impressive at the beginning! If Emma has always been innocent, it will inevitably make people feel more and more disconnected from reality, and it is difficult to maintain the amazement that her works concealed reality at the beginning. In this cannibalistic world, it is difficult for us to survive, what about the children?
It is not unexpected to see the ratings of the second season fall off a cliff, because even the ratings of the original comics are getting worse and worse, how can we expect that the comics will be able to counterattack? It used to amaze me, that's enough~
