This is still not an official movie review! (Why can't I always write short reviews of Japanese comics, what's the matter with me becoming a Japanese film critic!)
To sum it up in one word, it's over! The extremely exaggerated wide-angle lens, the extremely middle-of-the-art name fonts (person names, place names, and move names), and extremely exaggerated battle scenes, made people shout out in the first three minutes, "It's so weird, I really want to watch it!"
Let’s talk about the characters first. In fact, the characters’ settings are extremely routine. The protagonist is Tang Liuzi, a hot-blooded girl with only Tata Kai in her head; Manjian plays Zhenzi, who is funny and responsible, and speaks with the Holy Light at critical moments, symbolizing friendship (love); Guilongyuan Gaoyue, the goddess of high cold, born The leader; the four heavenly kings of the student union, a fierce man, a cute girl, a handsome guy, and a technical house; a needle and a seam, a sickly villain... I don't watch many comics, but these are undoubtedly the most reasonable, fun, and easily accepted by the audience. persona .
Not just the characters, but also parts of the plot. For example, the emotional line of the four heavenly kings, the fierce man Jong Junke and the cute girl Manjian decorated with Zhenzi, such as the battle between Tangliuzi and Guilongyuan Gaoyue, can no longer be reasonable, and the routines can no longer be routines.
However, I have no intention of criticizing this. On the contrary, I think it is excellent to be the best. Facialized characters have a stalking effect instead.
Let's talk about the story, this show has established a very simple and straightforward system, that is, a pyramid-shaped system measured by combat effectiveness. At the apex is the ghost dragon house Satsuki, below are the four heavenly kings in the uniform of three stars, and then below are the presidents of various clubs in the uniform of two stars, and of course there are 1-star minions and no-star civilians. The star of clothes is a digitalization of combat power, and combat power is directly linked to social status. Under this impenetrable system, there is the interloper, Tangliuzi. This kind of story is naturally attractive, and it is essentially no different from the upgrade of monsters in Xiuxian novels or online games . However, "Double Cut Girl" still has several features worth mentioning.
First, a relaxed and cheerful tone. To put it simply, the undead, although the battle was fierce, and the city was almost destroyed, no famous person died, even the naked and hard-to-seek Chong Jun Ke in the decisive battle. It's okay, obviously, sensationalism is not the goal of this show. On the contrary, no matter how tense the battle is, you can add a few rants and jokes. I prefer this kind of treatment.
Second, the speed of the plot is extremely fast. For example, since the Yixingji uniform has only 10% of the life fiber, it is possible to set 9 levels under the god clothes, and let the tanglers fight layer by layer, of course, it will be procrastinated; In that episode, the dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon, which can be fully developed as a theme, but the whole process was finished in one episode, and the speed is really unparalleled.
This kind of cool show is like a poison. The audience is quickly attracted to it but quickly develops drug resistance, eager for more and more cool things , and it is easy to push the speed blindly. And although this one did have a slightly depressing part in the mid-term, it was definitely a smooth end, and it lasted the cool point to the end, which is very good. I think this is also inseparable from its excellent production. Just like the first three minutes I was attracted, there were a lot of big scenes, and the composition and movement of the camera were extremely exquisite. I really did not expect this level of production to continue. 24 episodes.
Third, the part that shows the worldview is a surprise. For example, why a high school becomes the apex of the city, why the extreme uniform seems to have the power to rule the world, the part of the source of life fiber in the middle period explains this exaggeration very well. Of course, in fact, I don't think it's okay to not explain, just accept it as a setting, but the explanation is better.
In the end, the exposed parts are not concealed, but the combination with Fan's temperament is still very good, haha.
