The character design of the insect master is far from the word beauty. For those children who look alike and Yingu's face that never has an expression, many other people who like commercial works are discouraged, it is like a A fairy tale specially written for those who like it and are willing to experience it. In today's extremely competitive animation industry, the appearance of insect masters is like a fresh spring breeze, let us in this cold winter season, More or less smelled an early green fragrance.
In the story that the insect master wants to tell, there is no grand momentum of saving the world and preventing the war, it just shows a journey, this is a story about what a lonely tourist sees and hears along the way. In this beautiful story that is as unreal as a fairy tale but makes us have to sigh, the insect is considered to be the closest thing to the origin of life in the world, so when the human world and the insect world overlap, Some supernatural phenomena occur. Yingu is the medium that travels all over the world and solves these strange events - the insect master.
There is such a pure and simple animation with profound philosophy in the world. In the first episode "The Green Seat", the opening scene is a refreshing green, and a large area comes into view. The shattered wine cups, the dark greens all over the mountains and plains, the secret rituals between insects and people, are like stories from another distant world.
An animation magazine once described Insect Master as a "depressed" animation, which is really dumbfounding. Shouldn't works that don't pursue a humorous and funny style now have to be called depression? I really can't figure it out.
No matter how you say it, Insect Master is dazzling and not flashy at the same time. Its dazzling comes from its innate transcendence. Appreciating it can make our impetuous mood as calm as water, that's all.
