The original “Attack on Titan” is a very powerful manga.
The story is complex, but each line has a beginning and an end, emphasizing the integrity. Many unexpected foreshadowings laid in the front were basically recycled in the later stage.
Corresponds to animation.
The first season is about the conflict between humans and giants.
The second season focuses on character development, and the story is no longer limited to humans and giants.
The third season slowly talks about people and giants, people and people, people and history, leading the whole story to a broader space.
Very charming.
But stories are good if they are gradual and have foreshadowing.
Without the plot of the first season, no matter how charming the subsequent plots are, it will be useless.
As for the first season, as the foundation season of the entire series, let’s not talk about whether it is deep or underrated.
When Giant aired in 2012, it was nicknamed “Shut Up” because of its cute characters. When many people commented on this drama, they actually had a little bit of revenge and rebelliousness, and they simply couldn’t do it. allow.
And after many years, with the second and third seasons of the animation airing, it is meaningless to comment on whether the first season of this animation is in-depth and whether it is underestimated, because the audience’s focus has long since changed. Season 1 shifted to the overall story.
But is the first season of the “Attack on Titan” anime good?
On this point, I believe that the vast majority of viewers will give positive comments.
Because the first season, especially the first ten or so episodes, up to the trial of Allen, is the weakest period of the entire story and setting.
The audience finds everything novel, and the animation continues to bring surprises, fantasies, and shocks to the audience. The story is relatively simple, revolving around walls and giants. The theme is simple and layered, just like a shounen manga. Watching the movie The process is full of sensory experience and high blood pressure, which is commonly known as… burning.
You can say that after the fire, everything is boring, or you can say that the first season is very thin compared to the animations that came out later, but you can’t deny that the story mode of the first season does have the widest audience. .
If it weren’t for the popularity, the giant wouldn’t be labeled as a “shut-up fan”…
Now, what YUKI Studio needs most is this kind of animation with a wide audience.
Otherwise, Gu Xue would not have come up with the Fate series and Giant, and ended up choosing the latter.
The original “Attack on Titan” has a total of 26 episodes including the overall series, and 25 episodes were actually broadcast.
Made by YUKI Studio, there are a total of twenty-four episodes. In addition to making up for the relatively weak BUG of the protagonist Allen’s later development, Gu Xue also tried his best to compress some unnecessary procrastinating plots in order to give the audience a better experience. viewing experience.
Gu Xue.
It is with great ambition.
And Gu Xue’s ambition will soon emerge as the animation plays episode by episode.
Episode 2 of “Attack on Titan”.
From the beginning, based on the first episode, I started to add some settings that were not explained in the first episode for the sake of completeness.
The giants appeared a hundred years ago and were the natural enemies of mankind. They possessed overwhelming power and would kill and eat humans at will.
In order to cope with this situation, the surviving humans built three walls: Maria, Rose, and Sina.
The Shiganshina area where Allen and Mikasa live is just a defensive point with three protruding walls – the Wengcheng.
Like the ears, they serve as bait to attract giants.
And now, as the Xiganshina area of the Urn City was destroyed, people in the entire area began to withdraw into Wall Maria.
The second episode begins, and the plot follows the previous episode. The situation in the Shiganshina area is very tragic.
YUKI Studio did not avoid tragic scenes at all during production.
This makes it easy for the audience to connect with their emotions.
Next.
Just when the Shiganshina area was in chaos, people were scrambling to escape through the only door leading to the interior of Wall Maria.
The second nine giants appeared.
When the armored giant crashed through the inner city gate.
I don’t know how many viewers listened to the explosive BGM and looked at the extremely impactful pictures, and shouted “Fuck”.
The moment when the armored giant started to charge forward, all the mud on the floor was lifted up; the moment when he ignored the artillery in the middle, and even ran towards the artillery and smashed through the city gate.
These images are all deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience.
And the second half of the animation.
Allen was on the boat, looking into the distance, and shouted the famous line: “I want to drive them (giants) out, and drive them out of this world without leaving any one behind!”
It directly raised the audience’s expectations quickly.
And Gu Xue, or the animation of Giant.
It’s also clear what the audience wants to see.
After explaining the aftermath of the fall of Broken Wall.
After bringing Armin into the audience’s sight.
The plot accelerates.
Came directly to two years later.
Ellen grew up.
With Armin, Mikasa.
To gain the strength to fight giants.
Joined the 104th Training Corps!
The animation is very well paced.
See here.
The audience in this world…how can they withstand it?
After watching the animation, they swarmed to Gu Xue’s Twitter and started to do something they knew was useless but still wanted to try it – urging updates.
By the way, follow Gu Xue.
Gu Xue’s Twitter following was only over one million… After the second episode of the animation was aired, the number of her Twitter followers began to rise inexplicably.
1.1 million…1.2 million…the final number settled on 1.5 million.
Gu Xue inexplicably gained 500,000 more fans.
This made those people who claimed to be her seniors.
Everyone doubts life.
Of course, Gu Xue didn’t show up to pay attention to the fans who were also urging animation updates.
This group of sand sculpture fans made a fuss for a while, and when they found that Gu Xue didn’t show up, they dispersed and went to various ACG-related forums and animation comment areas to start discussing the plot.
this week.
“Monster” and “Adventure” are still broadcast first.
However, the later “Attack on Titan” aired later, and it took only one day to rub the earlier aired “Adventure” on the ground.
“Monster” relies on a relatively novel setting, and its playback volume is comparable to “Attack on Titan”, but it depends on the number of comments and comments.
The gap is huge.
Of course, not many people have noticed this yet, and many people just feel that the discussion about “Attack on Titan” has suddenly increased.
And Lyons and John, who cared most about “Monster”, didn’t notice that they could still comfort themselves now.
At least, the playback volume has not been lost.
No?
But they can comfort themselves…the other person is miserable.
…
“Didn’t you say that the animation made by a girl is nothing great? Ah? Now what does it mean if the animation you made is pressed to the ground and rubbed? Ah? It must be okay to say what you say by beating your chest, but now? A mouthful of a loose generation Trash, how do you explain the animation you are supervising now!! Speak!! She is the trash of the loose generation, so what kind of trash are you!? Showa trash!?”
Yao Liang, the chief executive of the “Adventures” production committee and the producer of Abred, was furious. After driving away the others, he cursed the animator and Yuichiro Suzuki of the PG Production Department.
See what’s going on with “Attack on Titan” now.
Yao Liang was already scared.
This is the case now.
If Gu Xue’s animation really becomes a hit.
Small Company is taking advantage of the trend to launch an animated Nendoroid series, and it would be strange not to explode!
Now they have finally managed to seize the opportunity that YUKI Studio has not released a new work for more than a year. The small company can only rely on the “Unyielding Girl” series to maintain popularity and grab a bit of the market.
Gu Xue’s animation is really a hit, and the market will be snatched back immediately! After all, small Nendoroids are already deeply rooted in people’s hearts!
And if Gu Xue’s animation is really successful, it will not just be a simple Nendoroid market. The resources, money and manpower invested by Abred during this period will all be in vain.
If this is the case, you will lose both your wife and your troops!
The suggestion to snipe YUKI Studio was made by Yao Liang! He will die!
“Animation…”
Yuichiro Suzuki looked at the furious Yao Liang and didn’t know what to say.
It wasn’t until the animation producer pushed him that he bit the bullet and said in a low voice: “The animation has only aired for two episodes… Isn’t it still early to talk about this…?”
Yao Liang said ferociously: “Morning? I’m too early for you! Do you think your animation can surpass “Attack on Titan” if it continues to be broadcast? Then explain it to me now! Why is there almost no discussion of “Adventures” now? The number of views Why were you hung up and beaten?”
Suzuki Yuichiro’s old face turned red, and after a long time, he held back a sentence: “…slowly.”
“Stop joking!”
Clang.
Hear this.
Yao Liang, who was already scared and angry, kicked the chair aside.
“Enough is enough! Don’t use this to deal with me!! No matter what happens next! I don’t care whether you change the plot or do marketing! Turn up the heat! Otherwise I will be unlucky! I will make you unlucky too!”
Yao Liang finished kicking the chair and was panting.
He untied his tie and took several deep breaths before he could barely control his emotions.
At this moment, compared to when he was putting pressure on Gu Xue in YUKI studio, he was really different. They were like two different people.
He was in a miserable state at the moment, with a ferocious expression on his face. He really looked like… a dog.
“Understood, we understand.”
When Yuichiro Suzuki heard Yao Liang’s words, his veins popped out and he was panting like an ox.
He looked angry, but didn’t dare to speak.
The animation producer next to him saw this situation and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
They are not Kei Narita. Kei Narita bullied Lyons into not understanding the production committee system and the process of domestic animation production. He got all the money at the beginning of animation production.
But they, PG Production Department, are an animation production company wholly controlled by Abred…
Hear from the animator.
Yao Liang finally managed to feel better.
He panted for a while and stared at Yuichiro Suzuki for a while.
Then he got up and left.
But before leaving, he kicked another chair and cursed in a loud voice.
“waste!”
It is clear and clear, and the words are precise and round.
“!!!”
Suzuki Yuichiro’s old face instantly turned redder.
Half angry, half ashamed.
The way of heaven is so reincarnated.
There should be more… a little earlier
