I just watched "Butterfly Effect" some time ago, and I feel that there are some similarities between the two. The first is that the plot setting is novel and both have a reliable theoretical system as the basis; the second is the development of the plot, that is, the protagonist constantly travels to save people. But always use mistakes to make up for the mistakes, but they are always getting darker and darker, and the last shot is out of control.
Let me talk about the advantages first.
This is an anime that I want to tell a good story.
The setting background is really powerful, the concept of world line binding is eye-catching, and the theory is also very clear.
Some lines are quite funny, and the active atmosphere is just right.
The hostess is very pleasing, smart, beautiful and capable.
I read other reviews saying that the music is good, but I looked more anxious and didn't pay attention.
Let’s talk about what I don’t like.
First of all, I don’t like male protagonists. I don’t see that the male protagonist has any advantages. His IQ is average. When he is calm, he can be said to be in the past. He insisted, and died by himself, and finally had to rely on the heroine to make plans to wake him up, which made people anxious. Emotional intelligence is also disappointing. He is often unpretentious, poisonous snakes hurt people, and finally he is chased and posted upside down, which is inexplicable. The male protagonist’s idea is not to let others die, but in fact it is limited to a few of his friends. The huge changes caused by the butterfly effect may affect everyone’s life. He does not care, and finally said that the savior can save more than 5 billion. People, he also said "I don't care about the life and death of those people." Although no one died in the final ending, the male protagonist’s friends all have bad memories of other world lines. These may be the shadows that they will linger for their entire lives. The male protagonist does not have the slightest guilt in his heart. For him , These people are alive, it's enough to stay with him. This kind of thinking and behavior is exactly the same as the male protagonist of "Butterfly Effect", saving people is just to save one's conscience and make oneself live well.
Secondly, I feel that this work too emphasizes the direction of the plot while ignoring the character of the characters. It is too blunt, so after reading it, I am very unfamiliar with the various characters and I am unpredictable. For example, after changing the gender of Ryukyu, the male protagonist is embarrassed to confirm his own monologue in person, but he confirms it manually in the next episode? I couldn't accept Phyllis' "righteousness and death". He obviously loved his father so much and sent a D-mail to resurrect his father. After 10 years, he said, "I confirm that my father loves me is enough" and gave up? There are a lot of such violations. In short, it feels like the characters are capricious. The plot develops so much only to make the audience unexpected.
Some people might say that the setting background is so awesome. You don't want to say too much. Are you looking for the difference if you choose the plot?
But I think the most important thing in an anime is the portrayal of the character. It is precisely because of what kind of character experience the character has that determines when and what he will do. This is a flesh and blood character, otherwise it is like a thread. Like a puppet, it's tasteless.
Generally speaking, the Gate of Destiny Stone is a high-quality work, but it is not a masterpiece. It is worth seeing. But if you like it, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise. At least I definitely don’t want to do it twice. Will be pissed off by the male protagonist.
I feel that most of the current anime plots are just for deliberately gaining the attention of others. I don’t know when the criteria for commenting on God’s works have become "unexpected" and "unguessed". It is so sad.
