Witness the change in my understanding of anime

Anime, I've always called it cartoons in the past, from "Havoc in Heaven" to "Toy Story," meant for kids or the whole family. Japanese animation also sees the level of "Detective Conan" and "Yuyou Baishu", which are of the blood fighting type after all.

I watched it until I was recommended by my classmate Lin Dabai in high school., only to know that Japanese animation has reached this point. It transcends the audience of children, with a large number of stream-of-consciousness shots and dialogues, incorporating religious and philosophical elements such as human nature, fatalism, etc. into the cartoon. It can be said that it has replaced the role of the movie to a considerable extent in Japan, and its ending is even more astonishing. . The famous series has also seen "Hunter". Although it is not so mysterious, its compact plot and highly popular characters are still very attractive. It can be said to be the representative of the bloodline, and "Full Metal Frenzy" can be said to be It's one of the weirdest jokes. In recent years, European and American animations have also tended to be stylized. "Ghost Mom", "Mary and Max", and "The Great Fox Dad" are all European and American works with unique styles.

Pull away. I watched this "Fullmetal Alchemist" on Bo Zhao's recommendation, referring to the TV version filmed in 2003-04. Because the speed of the manga is lower than the animation, the second half of the animation is off track and completely original. Generally speaking, this often leads to a lot of criticism, such as Conan's theatrical version of cheating money in recent years, but "Steel" as an exception, its animation original has achieved amazing success, and it also attracted me to finish it for several nights in a row. 51 episodes.

Many animes are relatively slow, and "Fullmetal Alchemist" is one of them. The first 20 episodes are basically each relatively independent wandering adventure story, which is quite depressing due to the background setting, and the plot develops slowly. want to give up. I guess it was because I was waiting for the comics to progress. After 20 episodes, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, and it is estimated that I decided to create my own. The painting style of "Steel" is not exquisite, there is no Zhengtai loli or beautiful boy, but it has rich imagination and some full characters. Such as the various factions within the army, as well as the different positions among several androids who appear to be one faction. In short, each character has his own principles and what he wants. Everyone uses or confronts each other in this way, avoiding masking, and has some excellent live-action movie qualities.

Beware of spoilers below.

The director's skill can also be seen from this. The rendering of the whole atmosphere and the feelings of the characters are very depressed and sad, and the feelings of the two brothers who are the protagonists have been pushed to the top. The Russian song "Brothers" has already been integrated with this film, adding radiance and radiance to each other. Although there are still some logical problems and character motivation problems, it basically does not affect the fascinating viewing experience of this film. I have always despised happy endings, but this film has infected me, making me feel that the ending of the TV version is quite cruel.

Just a few words above. I still recommend this anime.

  • [after blowing open wall of Lab 5]

    Scar: Full Metal Alchemist! Take your brother and get out of here!

    Scar: Maybe not, but your younger brother needs you.

    Edward Elric: Let's go!

  • Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: No, you don't understand. You must destroy us.

    Slicer: Young Brother: He's right. You must destroy us. There is nothing for the defeated but death that is our rule.

    Edward Elric: I'm not killing anyone. That's not what I do.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: You're too kind with your words. Calling us anyone, not anything. As if we could still be called human in this twisted state. I didn't say kill, I said destroy. Destroy these thing's we've become.

    Edward Elric: To do that, I'd have to admit you weren't human. And for me to do that, I'd have to admit the same of my brother and I can't do that.

    Number 48, Slicer: Older Broher: He's your brother.
