I was fortunate enough to see this work in 2016. I first saw "Butterfly Effect", "Source Code" and "Edge of Tomorrow". In fact, there are many works that go back to the past. The most impressive is an early short story "Ripples on the Sea of Dirac". This is also the case, no matter how hard you try, the protagonist simply didn’t change, and it was infinitely looping for a while before the accident. , Get eternal life, be with the person you like.
In fact, I have already anticipated the routine at the beginning. All the time travel works are the same, and the changes must be changed back. In fact, I liked the first few episodes quite a bit. Compared with the weak scumbag male protagonist like Jin Mu, it is not annoying at all. Until Mayuri’s death... The latter is actually similar to the "Butterfly Effect". When you contact the first episode, you will have to face the tragedy of two heroines choosing one at the end. The assassin from the future, the Terminator?).
Up to this point, there are actually many shadows of other works, but it is still an amazing work. As in all movies, it is never special effects that move people, but people.
Before I finish watching it, I think it may be the best ending to loop infinitely like "Dirac Sea". The time stops at 75 years before Suzuha returns, and the two days when everyone is still together and have happy memories are infinite. The cycle goes on. In fact, you don't have to wait until Mayuri is dead and flying, you can calm down and see that the time is about to fly, just like this for hundreds of years. In fact, Makise also retains the memories of the past when there are more cycles. Constantly learning in an infinite time, it may not be impossible to study the way to break the game. This is the best ending I can think of.
Until I saw 24 episodes, the seemingly forced reversal was actually not only a breakthrough for the characters in the play, but also a breakthrough for the past traversing works. Only with this can it be considered a masterpiece.
In fact, this method of breaking the game has a scientific basis. When the early quantum power has not been studied to this point, there is no solution to the science fiction works of that time. With limited pen power, there is no way to elaborate. It probably means that the future does not exist before it collapses into reality. Simply understand that the future is a quantum state and the present is a matter state. The future evolves in real time according to each "present" and generates "reality", which is manifested in a certain causal relationship. So once the future collapses into reality, there is no way to change it. Therefore, the death of Truth is the result of the evolution of the law of causality, just like a complicated calculation formula that calculates the same result no matter how the parameters are changed.
If this situation is to be changed, future observers must observe Mayuri’s living “reality”, and fix the uncertain reality, which is equivalent to the brutal practice of primary school students who fill in the answers without writing the questions (the protagonist in episode 24 is This is done, so it seems very simple). However, the future is inherently non-existent, so there are no observers who pre-exist in the future.
But in Makise, this impossibility becomes possible. Traversing cannot change the reality that has already happened, that is, the existence of the observer causes the quantum state to collapse into the material state. And the three weeks that the protagonist experienced before did not become meaningless because of resetting time, but just became an observer who could not exist in the future. If the protagonist went to rescue Makise directly, the protagonist in the first episode did not see the dead Makise, and there would be no future events, so the future observer would not exist. Therefore, the protagonist in episode 24 must create the illusion that Makise is dead, which is seen by the protagonist in the first episode. In this way, the events of those three weeks collapsed from an uncertain future to an existing reality. The reality of the future confirmed the "reality" of Makise's life, thus changing the paradox that Makise must die.
In fact, what Shaozhen did 15 years later was to create an observer of existence in the non-existent future (fill in the answer directly without writing the process), turning the non-existent result into reality, and interrupting the law of causality.
It is precisely because of these 24 episodes that this work has become a masterpiece not only in plot, but also in science fiction.
