No Emperor Blade Tan

After watching it, it feels similar to what I imagined, excellent painting, ordinary plot, and a little meaning, but it's not bad.

From the background of the story itself, the story reflects the turbulent era, the era when swords were eliminated, and gunfire was flourishing. In that era, rights were blurred and capabilities were magnified. It was an era of freedom, and it was also an era of the law of the weak; people dissipated their reverence for the powerful and pursued their own beliefs. It is also a great era.

From the perspective of the plot, it can be said to be a bit old-fashioned. Basically, you can guess the ending by looking at the beginning, and there are no surprises during the period. But it's basically a self-explanatory story.

From the perspective of characterization, I personally think that the shape of Wuming is not thin, and I can feel the fullness of its image, while others seem to be slightly thin due to time reasons.

Then from the production point of view: BONES dares to throw money at TMD Diao! The action scenes are all excellent, the watercolor background is great TMD, the storyboards by Ando Masahiro are also pretty good, and the music is pretty good too! However, this dubbing is simply unbearable, the Chinese speaks all kinds of terrible! Can you please speak Japanese? !

Overall, it's a work worth watching. Even if you can't be infected by the atmosphere of that era, it's worth appreciating a fine painting!

    Great story, great graphics! ! The movements are fast, smooth, clean, and just right, and there is no redundant movement at all. It really makes people watch it heartily! ! Especially the ending, the aftertaste is infinite, slightly sentimental, and the aftertaste is endless. It's a masterpiece! !

    Nanashi: You've become pretty good. It feels... like I'm walking on top of the clouds.

    Kotaro: Don't flatter me. Are your wounds all right?

    Nanashi: Yeah... even a treasure like this comes in handy sometimes.

    Kotaro: Right?

    Nanashi: Really... you're some employer. Can you see the town?

    Kotaro: I can't see it yet. But, I'm sure it's close! Hey...

    Nanashi: Huh?

    Kotaro: Once your wounds heal, do you want to leave this country? If we go abroad, people there wouldn't mind your hair color, right?

    Nanashi: A foreign land, huh. That's not a bad idea. But how would we make money?

    Kotaro: We could steal, or become bodyguards. We can do anything! In fact, we could even become pirates!

    Kotaro: You're... really full of villainous ideas.

    Kotaro: [laughs] Hold on tight, so you won't fall off!

    Nanashi: Yeah.

    Kotaro: Let's go!
