If there is a world where laws no longer exist, there are only thin morals; if there is a world where survival guarantees no longer exist, you will face all the devastation of nature. It is at your fingertips; in a world where power is paramount, whoever has the sharper sword, quicker, faster punch, is the absolute king.
How do you survive?
This is a naked and bloody question that Kawahara Reki throws to the reader at the beginning of the game.
On the day when the SAO game started, 10,000 modern people seemed to be thrown into the battlefield at once. Are they risking the danger of passing by the god of death to continuously strengthen their strength to break through the level, or hide in a safe haven and wait endlessly? Is it to unite and cooperate to overcome the difficulties together, or to take advantage of the fire to rob and kill others and harm others? Human nature has been tested hard in such a sudden terrorist attack.
This is the highlight of the SAO chapter, because only in that cruel environment, the fear, desire and light in everyone's real life are squeezed to the fullest, and then through the simple and easy virtual game. The method can be enlarged infinitely, so that readers can more clearly feel the human nature of each character in the play at the juncture of life and death.
There are "smiling coffins" who murder others for props and money, husbands who can't stand his wife's halo to cover them up, and murderous husbands, and there are "militaries" who hide at the bottom and oppress the weak, and every day they watch under the tree while apples fall. The coward who seeks food and clothing (the plot of the novel, the animation is omitted), the greed, jealousy, arrogance and cowardice of people are undoubtedly revealed.
The environment destroys human nature, but also creates the brilliance of human nature
I especially like the character of Asuna because she is the one with the biggest personality change in SAO. Although she is Bai Fumei, her life is strictly controlled. Before she played SAO, she was a good student who didn't even touch a computer. She was forced by her mother to learn various things every day, just for the sake of the family. There are open and secret battles between them (just like your parents always compare your grades with your uncle's children). At first, she was so annoyed that she hid in the hotel and hit the wall, until she felt that there was no hope for external rescue, and she was passively improving herself, hoping to get through the game. After being instructed by Kirito, he not only overcame his negativity, joined the guild, but also became the deputy head of the raiding group, inspiring a group of people to work hard to liberate the cage of SAO. (A lot of detailed descriptions in the anime have been omitted, so let’s fill in the novels here.)
For the subject background of the SAO chapter, I don’t think 5 stars can be rated as excellent. On the contrary, after entering the ALO chapter, the sense of tension is gone. No longer, because the game has completely returned to the game, and reality has returned to reality. Except for the thread of rescuing Asuna, I can no longer find the feeling of the past.
CP is
as prosperous as three thousand east flowing water .
I only take a scoop of love to understand the
butterfly who only loves you
in love. The interweaving of the black and white swords is like a balance and complementarity in Tai Chi, and both sides have received the most precious gift from the other. In Asuna, there is Kirito's yearning character, and Kirito's longing will. Their combination is destined to burst out the most wonderful romance and the most powerful power.
Kirito is a child who is not good at dealing with people. He is addicted to his own game world and silently strengthens himself. After entering SAO, he wants to use his ability to lead everyone through the responsibility of the game, but he is afraid of bearing a series of adverse consequences, so he can only do a little bit. His own meager power, such as helping the trumpet to play props and catching low-level murder criminals, but this personal power has always had little effect. Until he met Asuna, the deputy head of the raiding group. From Asuna's sunny personality and daring courage, the layer of ice in his heart began to slowly melt. I still remember the boss room on the 74th floor, who was the first to rush up to rescue the dying soldiers, it was Asuna, then Kirito, maybe at that moment, Kirito really fell in love with Asuna, let He understood that he had the responsibility and obligation to give his life to protect and lead everyone out of SAO. Therefore, on the 75th floor, he dared to draw out his sword and face the GM-like Kayaba, fighting for the chance of liberation with a life-and-death duel.
Asuna's love for Kirito does not come from the worship of strength, because every man will show various abilities to his women, so I think Asuna yearns for his free and easy. In SAO, there are cowards who indulge in the past and hide at the bottom, there are various professional players who enjoy the present, and there are strategy groups who pursue the future, and Asuna is the kind of person who only pursues the future and ignores the past and the present. Refracting reality is like a strong woman with strong professionalism but ignoring her private life. Until the nap under the sun changed her mind, it turned out that in this cruel world of oppression, there are people who can cherish the past, enjoy the present and pursue the future. This is why Asuna can not only marry Kirito in the game, but also fall in love with each other in reality, because such people are also very thoughtful and sentimental in reality. If the love comes only from Asuna's worship of Kirito's power, then back to reality, Kirito will have nothing left.
It is said that Anger (the girl from the Black Cat Knights) is Kirito's first love, but in my opinion, even if Anger doesn't die, their success rate is very low. After all, there is nothing in that girl for Kirito to learn and appreciate. Thinking of Kirito is the pity brought by thinking that she belongs to the same kind of person as herself. Although this kind of unequal love abounds in reality, it is ultimately normal. If you want to create a love with the sparkling effect of art, you must still have a heroine like Asuna, who is full of power and aura. what.
harem
A man who is admired by all kinds of beauties usually has three conditions. First, the impression is better. Although it is not a rich man, he must be handsome, so this impression is put here. Second, if you are willing to invest, mm is in difficulty, squeak, carry the sword and go up, the sword is full of fire. Third, the ability is full, the light carrying the sword is not enough, and you have to be able to solve the difficulties, otherwise mm can only give you hard points, so Kirito-kun slashed with both knives, and any problems were solved immediately. So this kind of personality charm, which girl can resist.
So you don't have to be jealous and hate Tongren for opening a harem. At least they have the capital. You might as well learn his skills and think about how you can improve your charm. Wei Xiaobao and Duan Yu both have a bunch of harems. You can see Lu Ding Ji Tianlong Babu is not so cool for a while.
Advantages and disadvantages
I know that many people scoff at anime, such as the large jumps in the plot, the incomplete description of many psychological parts that can't be understood, the fighting parts are too brief, harem, open hanging, etc. I think this can only be blamed on Kawahara Reki for writing such a rushed but classic work in order to participate in the Electric Shock Essay Competition, so that it was thankless to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Nowadays, there are a lot of criticisms
. Although the animation is not satisfactory, it still does not affect my love for swords when I first saw it. I am shocked by this innovative theme setting, nervous for the life and death of each character in it, and for Kirito Ya She was moved by Sina's love. Maybe my starting point for watching anime is different from that of many people. I focus more on the description of characters' emotional stories in anime.
As for fighting, because it is difficult for anime to shoot action scenes with strong impact, it is better to watch action movies than to watch action scenes. As for the jumping of the plot, it can only be treated with the mentality that exists and is reasonable, and the whole story can be sorted out with the ability of self-enrichment.
After watching the anime and reading the novel, the love of swords still lingers in the air for three months.
