My Animation Era

The east wind blows and the war drums beat, who is afraid of whom this summer?

The Dragon Boat Festival has just ended, and the rice dumplings made in the previous two days have not yet been finished. The second semester of primary and secondary schools in various places has finally ushered in the final exam.

As soon as the final exam is over, it means that the summer vacation that the children have been waiting for has arrived!

This year's summer vacation is particularly lively.

First the national finals of the Wanbao Cup National Middle School Tennis Open, then the "Osiris" Master Challenge of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Frontline", and finally the national finals of the Lightning Cup Mini Four-wheel Drive Competition and the "King of Robots" tour exhibition... …

A series of events will be held during the summer vacation, attracting the attention of thousands of children.

It is worth mentioning that.

This year's Wanbao Cup National Middle School Tennis Competition has reached the knockout stage of 8 out of 16. Last year's champion, Jingcheng Foreign Languages ​​Middle School, unexpectedly lost to Qiushi Middle School.

Good guy!

Last year's champion failed to reach the top eight in the country this year. Such a contrast has really shocked many people.

Of course, Gu Miao knew the inside story.

Most of the main players at Beijing Foreign Languages ​​Middle School, which won the championship last year, were junior high school students. After that group of main players graduated, the new generation could not keep up with the pace, and their strength naturally declined severely.

This is the same as in the original "Prince of Tennis" animation, Byodoin Phoenix led Muteng Middle School to victory, but the champion got soft, and when he graduated from Muteng Middle School, he was immediately beaten back to his original form.

It’s not just Jingcheng Foreign Languages ​​High School.

In fact, including last year's national runner-up Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, many strong schools have experienced varying degrees of decline in strength after the graduation of their junior high school players.

However, other schools adjusted quickly and quickly filled the gap in junior high school players, promoting or training a group of freshmen with good strength.

This year's Qiushi Middle School is more competitive. I probably watched the second season of "The Prince of Tennis" and found that my school was so fierce in the animation. It inspired me to fight better, so I played better this year.

But this is all in vain.

In Gu Miao's view, this year's national championship must belong to Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, and there is no second possibility.

Don't ask why...

The question is that he went to watch a game at Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. He can only say that Shen Chao, who is in the second grade of junior high school this year, is stronger and more terrifying than he was in the first grade of junior high school.

"No one can take away a point from Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School in singles!"

This is the emotion expressed by many teams after finishing the competition with Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School. This shows the amazing dominance of Shen Chao.

Gu Miao thought it was okay to say that he was the real-life version of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Yukimura Seiichi.

Playing at this age, he really bullies children too much. He doesn't attack lightly or harshly. The game scene is comparable to a disaster movie. He beat his opponent to the point of giving up and surrendering more than once.

…

In addition to various competitions, there are also many exciting and beautiful animations to be broadcast this summer.

Among them, "The Wilderness" produced by Penguin Animation and "Hell Girl" produced by Wanbao Animation have become the focus of many people's attention.

Both animations were pre-heated and promoted two weeks in advance. They became famous early and attracted countless animation fans.

It seems to be an appointment.

The two animations started broadcasting only five minutes apart!

"The Wilderness" was launched first, with five episodes released at once, followed by "Hell Girl", but Wanbao Video has only unlocked one episode, which is far less than "The Wilderness".

no way!

The first season of the animation "Hell Girl" has only 26 episodes in total, which is not as good as a long-form animation adapted from a web text like "Into the Wild", so the update speed is relatively slow.

One episode is too insincere...

Look at Penguin Next Door, they released five episodes at once. Although only the first episode is free to watch, episodes 2-5 require VIP to watch, but at least there are a lot of them!

This is the complaint made by many viewers when they found out that "Hell Girl" only had one episode in its premiere.

They don't know Wanbao's difficulties. Anyway, from the audience's perspective, Wanbao is just like "Kou Kou So So Sou", and only one episode was released after the premiere, which is simply insincere.

But complaints are complaints.

Whether it is one episode or five episodes, for the audience who have been looking forward to it for so long, the quantity is not the key, the key is whether it is good or not?

Animation that is not good-looking will be updated a hundred episodes a day to no avail, and no one will take a serious look at it. But for good-looking animations, let alone updating one episode a week, you can update one episode a year and not worry about no one watching.

In the eyes of most people, "Hell Girl" belongs to the latter.

[Episode 1: From the Other Side of Dusk]

[Director: Gu Miao]

In an ordinary public middle school in Jiangchuan, Xiaomei, a good student in the eyes of parents and teachers, and a good monitor in the eyes of classmates, is suffering from campus bullying.

Xiaomei, who is always bullied by others because of her cowardly character, is often extorted by a group of bad girls for protection money and helps them write homework for them.

One day, the class teacher launched a fund-raising activity for the earthquake-stricken areas. The students actively participated. As the class leader, Xiaomei was responsible for counting and keeping the donations.

But no one expected that the donations kept by Xiaomei would disappear after class...

In order to plug the gap, Xiaomei chose to borrow money from the bad girl in the class. However, no one expected that the bad girl asked Xiaomei for a high amount of interest and said that if Xiaomei didn't give it, she would be deported. I lost my donation and asked my classmates to borrow money.

Xiaomei is a good child in the eyes of her parents and teachers, and has a cowardly personality, so she naturally accepted this condition.

"I'm convinced! Do honest people deserve to be bullied? How is this different from loan sharking?"

"That's right! If you lose the money, you'll lose it. It didn't take long. Can't you just tell the teacher to apologize sincerely and make up for it yourself?"

"These girls are too bad. Are there really such disgusting classmates in real life?"

"Reality is worse than animation! When I was studying, there were always a few scumbags like this in the class, fighting and causing trouble everywhere, and collecting so-called protection fees..."

The audience, who had just seen the beginning of the story and did not know what would happen next, just thought that this was a very common and ordinary campus blackmail incident.

But when the bad girls intensified, the blackmail became more and more intense, and Xiaomei began to steal family money to satisfy the demands of these bad girls, the audience began to fall silent.

My mother felt that the house had been robbed.

Xiaomei felt very guilty, but had no choice but to squat in the corner holding her legs, feeling terrified and uneasy.

Rumors spread around the school. Some people said that they saw Xiao Mei, a good student, at the door of a bar late at night. Her mother suspected that Xiao Mei was a naughty girl and went out to fool around. Xiao Mei was beaten by a bad girl because she couldn't pay...

As Xiaomei gradually stepped into the abyss, she suddenly thought of an "urban rumor" mentioned by her classmates.

"Hell Communication" that can only be accessed at twelve o'clock in the morning.

Fill in your irresolvable resentment here, and Hell Girl will appear and send the person you resent into the abyss of hell...

As if holding on to the last life-saving straw, Xiaomei opened the Hell Communication website and filled in everything she had encountered.

[The letter has been delivered! 】

Looking at the email receipt window that popped up on the web page, the audience in front of the screen held their breath, as if they had guessed something.

Have you ever seen a mosquito the size of your thumb? I boiled it and almost died of fright in the middle of the night...
