Congratulations to Anno Hideaki for graduating from Secondary Two

Anno Hideaki finally graduated from middle school!
In fact, I discovered it when I was in "Preface", but the illusory and illusory praise of "Broken" made me doubt again, and ignited his hope of reading it again.
It's a pity... It turns out that he has graduated from secondary school, and he has even become an adult! ! Married men always have to become mature, applaud with tears, and sincerely say "Congratulations!"

When a ten thousand year middle school sophomore graduates, he replies with a famous line of Shinji: "You are not me, why? It will understand my feelings." It is really difficult for a screenwriter who has left the middle school to write a story that reflects the mental journey of the middle school and second school. The only thing you can watch in "Broken" is the scene of the battle with Ali. It is vigorous and true. Compared with the TV version, it uses more than 400 barrels of dog blood. Although it is said that the gorgeousness has increased, the rhythm is grasped and The fluency is far from the previous one.

While everyone was singing praises, I decided to pour cold water. The first thing that disappoints this show is the music. If you hear non-EVA music, please don't be happy. Please take out another animation "His and Her Story" directed by Anno to review it, almost as long as The "new" music that is not the battle scene is all the background music used in "His and Her Story", with 10 paragraphs before and after. I don't know if this kind of behavior is considered "self-copying", at least Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted, and it is a reflection of the talented people in the past. The performance of infinite yearning in the young age (Luchao Shiro also graduated from middle school, so I mourned for it).

Secondly, it is the setting of Asuka. The one-eyed Asuka in the widely circulated "Q" is the real Asuka, which comforts me a little (don't be empty at that time), the Asuka in "Broken" is really not enough to watch! To be hot but not hot, the arrogance and self-confidence against the apostles are also "cut"-"pasted" to the new character Mary, and of course the basic arrogance attributes are missing. Asuka and Shinji deepened their feelings several times. All the battles of the apostles were edited and edited, and she opened her heart after speaking a few times, wearing this apron and started cooking! God, who is this girl? The whole girl is mediocre, with a chaotic personality, not prominent, and will forget when she sees it, but she looks a bit like Asuka...

After saying the above, don't think I'm a fragrant party. I have joined the Shinji party since the first time I saw EVA in 1999. No matter how many ignorant teenagers slandered Shinji, I will unswervingly love everything about him, and " The revision of Shinji in "Broken" also made me very dissatisfied, of course, this dissatisfaction started from "Preface". The best thing in "Broken" is just the outfits of Shinji and Asuka. The clothes they wear are increased at all costs, but their personalities are greatly weakened.
Compared with the TV version, Shinji's reaction to killing the pilot of No. 3 aircraft changed from verbal threats to force threats. In fact, when I saw the TV version of Shinji "talking" to his father, I realized that Shinji was actually with his father in his bones. It's very similar. It has the ruthlessness of "non-toxic and not a husband", but it is changed to "Broken" and kicks the headquarters pyramid, but it makes people feel that this child is too immature, and his father's handling seems less impersonal, from father and son. The ruthless VS ruthless has turned into a violent VS ruthless. Originally only lost the experience, but now it is a complete loss. When the sword is unsheathed in the hand, it is even more daunting. Holding a sword fluttering is just like a martial artist with an empty head, which makes me a fan in my eyes and hurts in my heart.
During the battle with Ali, he ran away to save everyone, and became red-eyed to save Ayanami, from "...start up, if you don't start, everyone will die!" All I can say is... It's really ugly to change Shinji from a determined boy who can burst out strength from his bones in order to save everyone, into a lover who can spend a lot of money for Ayanami with a smile! Why is this play still called EVA, it is better to call it "XXX of Shinji and Ayanami". Of course, as a fan of Shinji, I don't want to admit that this Shinji and the TV version of Shinji are inherited, maybe it will be much better to see it as a fan work.

In the end, I want to make grievances for Sister Miri. She is obviously the heroine. She was pulled from the horse for being cute. In "Broken", there is no big use other than being a driver. Even the commander's job almost doesn't need her. Poor pity. Of course, there are far more characters than Misato who came out just for the familiar faces. Toji, Kensuke and Aguang are also dispensable characters, and even Shin Asuka. New character Mary, do you think she's shiny? In addition to the battle scene that seems to be possessed by Asuka, other performances are also very vague.

The success of EVA is definitely not just the gorgeousness of the battle scenes. Other animations can also do this. In the past, Tsuruzaki Tetsuya and others exclaimed that Anno Hidemi was very thoughtful, and they actually came up with such a rigorous work that dared to call it "seamless", which is truly rigorous. The meticulous place is the complicated interpersonal relationship in the play, and the psychological description is intricate. Unfortunately, these are all lost in "Preface" and "Broken". Just by injecting dog blood into the battle scenes and giving the protagonist chicken blood, it is very difficult. It is difficult to write about the glory of EVA. Of course, he may not want to write about the glory at all. After all, he graduated from middle school, and adults can do anything to make money.
