When you mention the word “magical girl”, what comes to your mind?
Is it a beautiful little dress on a magical girl? Or is it their cute and childish spell? Or is it the magic circle of the six-pointed star? Or is it a ‘traditional art’ like transformation welfare?
They should all be there, right?
There are all audiences in this world anyway. As an evergreen theme of magical girls, there are many classic works, but they all remain the same. When almost all viewers think of magical girls, they will subconsciously think of sugar and cake.
Sweet and beautiful.
Of course…this was before Puella Magi Madoka Magica came out.
To be precise, it was before the third episode came out.
The first two episodes of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” feature warm daily routines, cute characters, and extremely deceptive EDs. In fact, they have always maintained a false appearance that seems to be the same as other magical girl works.
Until the third episode, the popular character Tomoe Mami, whose role is currently second only to the protagonist, died, and her head was bitten off.
At that moment, the warm atmosphere created by the first two episodes disappeared immediately.
People die when they are killed, and magical girls die when they lose in battle.
This fact, which is selectively ignored by any works of the same type, was put in front of the audience by Gu Xue in an extremely direct and cruel way.
The ED also tore off the pretense along with the plot. The heartwarming “See You Tomorrow” sung by the protagonist Madoka’s voice actor directly turned into the chilling “Magia”.
This completely ignores the psychological endurance of the audience and is the practice of many “predecessors” works. It is very bad.
On Earth, after the original version of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” came out, many dark and disabled magical girl-themed animations followed the trend, which eventually turned magical girls into a high-risk profession.
This makes many people think that U-turn is normal. Only a few people can recall how they felt when they saw their senior student U-turn for the first time in 11 years. Moreover, the screenwriter of the original version of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” was Gen Urobuchi. He was already infamous by that time, and the audience was somewhat mentally prepared.
But this time it was Gu Xue. Although Gu Xue had fired a knife before and could do things like five seconds on the New Year, he was not a dead person. The most cruel one is “Attack on Titan”, but the overall tone of “Attack on Titan” has been set since the first episode of “Attack on Titan” when Eren’s mother exited the scene, and the audience was mentally prepared.
Only this time!
This time, everyone thought she was trying to be girly, everyone thought she was making a normal magical girl animation, when everyone thought so.
There was a click, and the senior sister’s head was gone…
Gu Xue gave everyone a big surprise.
But this surprise was too scary.
After the third episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” was released, almost all ACG-related forums were blocked.
Like forums, comment areas, question and answer communities, forums, etc., as long as the first two acg are involved, they are all discussions about the third episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”.
for example……
“What’s going on here?” Why did Gu Xue do this? 》
“I actually believed this was a healing film at first!!!”
“I watched the third episode and it’s a fucking healing anime!!!”
“After watching the third episode, I decisively decided not to watch any more.”
“You still say Gu Xue’s tricks… we all fell into Gu Xue’s tricks (sad cry)”
“Actually, the whole third episode is just a dream”
Some people discussed the plot, some vented their emotions, some analyzed the reasons why Gu Xue did this, and some simply escaped from reality.
These are just the tip of the iceberg.
The most famous animation forum, the CIN forum, the people on it are going crazy, there are almost 50,000 posts discussing Madoka, and at this time, only one day has passed since the animation was broadcast…
Everyone was shocked.
Including Gu Xue’s colleagues.
Fwn Co., Ltd., supervising position, Fu Qing was stunned when he looked at Tomoe Asami, who only showed the picture from the neck down on the computer screen.
The production director, who had already read it again, shook his head.
“Ehehehehe…いつか君がpupilに灯す爱の光が,时を超えて.”
A chilling, ED sound with an indescribable feeling sounded.
Fu Qing suddenly got goosebumps all over his body and woke up suddenly.
The first time he woke up, he pointed at the computer screen, turned to look at the production director, and asked, “How dare she do this?”
“Ah? How do I know this…”
The production director cannot answer this question.
“Fuck! How dare she, Gu Xue, do this!?”
Fu Qing asked again as if he couldn’t hear the production director’s answer at all.
The production director realized that Fu Qing didn’t want an answer, he just wanted to express his shock…
He stopped talking.
Sure enough, he didn’t speak, and Fu Qing still thought to himself: “Isn’t she afraid of being sprayed to death by the audience? What the hell is going on! Even if people die in the magical girl theme, they still die with their heads bitten off. This is what happened in 1997 A young man? I…”
“He has already made the animation, so what is there to be afraid of…” The production director couldn’t help but interject.
“The question is why does she dare to do this?”
Fu Qing looked at the production director and asked again. This was already the third time. You can imagine how shocked he was.
In fact, when he saw the scene where the senior made a U-turn, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and he was even more impressed with Gu Xue. This was because the production director gave him a brief introduction to the plot, so he was not the counter-routine. I don’t know, but the magical girl theme goes against the clichés, and it’s so thorough, it’s really the first time he’s seen it.
“For the sake of topic, right?” The production director finally answered Fu Qing’s question this time, but he was not very sure, “At least now, the name of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” has resounded throughout the CG circle, and it can’t be resounding anymore. , of course, so is Supervisor Gu Xue himself… Actually, Gu Xue showed a cruel side when he was making “Attack on Titan”… It’s not incomprehensible.”
“Giant is an imaginary medieval fantasy work! But “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is a magical girl theme! That is a magical girl who represents dreams and miracles. The two cannot be compared at all. Weren’t you shocked when you saw it? Impossible, to use an analogy, this is just like watching a toddler cartoon when you were a kid, and one character suddenly hacked another to death, and it suddenly turned into a shadow of childhood!”
“Furthermore, the plot of the Titans is laid out in the first episode, and it is an imaginary world. It has high operability, and the plot will not unfold abruptly. But the magical girl theme is not like that. If it is just because of the need for a topic, it will be written to death. The character, at most, only has a fancy name, but isn’t she being criticized in the end? What on earth was Gu Xue thinking!? How on earth is this going to be rounded off? Because it’s called Madoka Magica, there’s no need to round it out? Will she be rounded up? People will be sprayed to death!”
Production Director: “…”
He couldn’t answer this question.
“Why on earth does she dare to do this…”
Fu Qing didn’t expect him to answer. He shook his head and turned back to stare at the comment section of the third episode of the animation. The situation was just as he expected, Gu Xue was sprayed.
It can’t be said that she was trolled, it’s just that the plot was too exciting! Unlike those who discussed outside the broadcast page, they were just shocked, but they did not follow the anime from the beginning. The people who are leaving messages in the comment area now started following the anime from the first episode, and they were also the first to follow it. People who were persecuted by Gu Xue…
They are the most excited.
“Gu Xue, I sent your studio the largest and most extravagant celebration cake, ‘Celebrating Shikame Madoka and Tomoe Mami becoming a magical girl group’. Please accept it [smile]. By the way, there are blades in it, but you Don’t be nervous, I’m cutting the cake for you, and I’m definitely not reminding you about my senior’s sudden U-turn [smile]”
“Ah ah ah, what the hell is going on! Why does the magical girl die? Why? Or such a bizarre way of death as biting her head off… Gu Xue, what on earth are you doing!!”
“I’m watching a fake magical girl anime, right? Damn it, the decapitation… it’s so sudden. It was so calm in the first two episodes. Is this fake? Is it a joke? Tomoe Mami will be resurrected in the next episode. Right? Gu Xue!”
“The content of the third episode is the first time I have been surprised in the past five years. Unfortunately, it is not a surprise. I feel terrible. Gu Xue, your move is so powerful that I admire it, but I hope you don’t do it next time. Use this kind of persona to do this kind of thing, otherwise I want to kill people.”
“One second, the senior was still performing gorgeous operations, confidently finishing the attack, and the next second, the senior’s head was gone…ah, I watched it with my sister! My sister was so frightened that she cried, and then she complained to her mother She said I took her to watch horror movies, and I got a beating for nothing! Gu Xue, you are not my wife now! I hate you!”
“Girlish heart! Those who said that Gu Xue has a girly heart before, get out! Gu Xue is an old thief! She has no heart! What a girly heart! Wow, Mahler Gobi, I just fell in love with the role of Tomoe Mami! She just died!”
“The first and second episodes of the animation, fresh OP, healing ED, cute characters, cute mascots, the scenes are joyful and enjoyable. But Gu Xue only used 22 seconds to destroy all the above. Net. The worm appeared at 42 seconds, and Tomoe Asami was hanging in the air at 04 seconds. In these short 22 seconds, the moment I saw the senior sister being bitten on the head and hanging up, the impact I received, I I don’t know what to say to you, so I’ll just say one thing… I won’t read it! You old thief Gu Xue! You have no heart at all!”
This comment was told in a very calm tone at first, but the last words of “I don’t want to read” and “Gu Xue, old thief” still revealed the mood of the person who wrote this comment, and this comment also resonated the most. .
Everyone below responded: “Old thief Gu Xue, I don’t read it either…”
Yes!
After the third episode aired, everyone was confused.
Then, there’s the fryer.
Gu Xue’s PV fraud, episode 1 and 2 fraud, and ED fraud were discovered by the audience who calmed down quickly and wrote about it, which aroused even more uproar.
It’s all fake! (;Д`)
