It's a movie, but it's actually an anime. Many older people think that anime has no connotation and is only for children. In fact, this is a kind of prejudice. I think whether it is a movie, an anime, or a novel, comic, etc., it is a way of expressing a story, and the core accepted by the audience is the story. The story of "Legend of the Sword and the Wind" seems to be a bit old-fashioned in the 2013 era. There are so many stories with the theme of the overlord and the beautiful brothers, so that you can guess the routine after reading the beginning. But this is last year's work. The story of what kind of routine was popular when "Legend of Sword and Wind" was released last year has long been forgotten, so there is no need for the judges to be too stubborn on this point.
Aside from the story itself, the animation effects of "Legend of Sword and Wind" have really worked hard. At present, there are not many successful precedents for trying to incorporate 3D effects into animation works. And "Legend of Sword Wind" is definitely a success. The connection between 2D picture and 3DCG is relatively soft, and there is almost no abrupt feeling. I have seen a 3D small theatrical version of "One Piece" before. Compared with "Sword Wind", there is indeed some gap.
Finally, let's talk about Overlord. I watched the first Overlord's Egg, which actually implied that a certain character in the story had similar huge ambitions. However, there is usually a beautiful woman who accompanies the overlord, and this beauty will definitely have an impact on the overlord's path. But it is almost certain that neither of the overlords seem to have a good end. The egg of the overlord in the story represents evil in terms of shape, and it is still blood red, which probably indicates a bloody storm. But why has Overlord and Fallen become one in people's minds? This is a delicate question, one that can be thought deeply if you wish, and even the countries and institutions that can be held accountable. But it doesn't matter, smart people will not be overlords, at least they will not be recognized as overlords.
