Some time ago, I used to discuss some of the shortcomings of the long works. But there is an undeniable fact: a long-term work can get everyone’s attention, which in itself shows that it has great charm and can bring us many wonderful experiences. In today’s topic, let us talk about the benefits of chasing long works! .
[Viewpoint 1: Can guarantee that there will always be hope in the next week].
If you are constantly chasing new program animations, you should be aware of the phenomenon: although the number of new programs in each quarter is very large, most of them are “seasons”, which are broadcast in 3 months. . Half a year is very rare, let alone a year longer than half a year. In this case, the anime fans will feel a little lost after 3 months. After all, the wonderful works that have been chased after at least have not been sequel in the short term (more likely it will never be sequel), which also makes everyone lack. Some hope. .
But the long work is different. In particular, the animations of the so-called “migrant workers” adapted from the JUMP series, or the traditional Japanese national works, can basically guarantee that “you will see us next week.” In this way, when we enter the pit, we can continue to pay attention to the characters’ characters in the works, and express expectations for what will happen to these characters next week. .
I used to have a paragraph on the Internet, called “Anime fans will never consider looking for short-sightedness, because they have updates to see next week.” In fact, this paragraph is most suitable for long-term serialization. .
[View 2: Long works will be a good memory].
Since a work can be called a “long article,” it also means that it has accompanied the fans for at least 10 years or more. What does this mean? Maybe when we first touched the work, we still didn’t know a few small dolls, or the junior high school students who just awakened the second soul, but in the process of chasing the works, the characters in the works are growing. In reality, we also become mature day by day. In a sense, these long works have become a symbol in our memory, I am afraid this life is hard to forget. So, when we suddenly hear the theme songs in those long works on a certain occasion today, we may feel that the eyes are a little moist. .
For example, “Naruto Ninja” which ended in the past few years, this work was known by domestic anime fans around 2003. At that time, we may still be keen to imitate the spiral pills or millennium kills inside, and imagine that we have the power of Naruto and Sasuke. But when this work came to the end, the children who chased the works in the past, some even had their own parents, recalling those naive actions of the past, I am afraid that they would smile helplessly? More importantly, when we first watched “Naruto Ninja”, Naruto was only a very smashing crane tail, but at the moment of the end, he finally realized his childhood wish and became the shadow of Muye Village. Ninja. This makes it easy for us to project ourselves on Naruto. Since Naruto has succeeded, should we also make great strides toward our dreams? .
It’s worth noting that just because many people regard themselves as Naruto’s “peer people”, when they officially launch the animation of “NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS”, people often take care of the next generation. Mentality to chase. This rather subtle mentality is obviously also the feeling that short works can’t bring? .
[View 3: Long works can make people discuss a lot of content].
We all know that there are many people who specialize in literature or film and television and use it as a science. The animation is essentially no different from literature and film, so anime fans can also study it and discover the mystery. However, in most cases, because of the limited length of the short work, the theme that can be expressed will be relatively simple, thus reducing the value of research. In comparison, if an animation work has been serialized for more than 10 years or more, it means that it must accumulate extraordinary weight. Especially if the creator itself is a person who likes to ambush the pen, it will also allow everyone to experience the indescribable pleasure in the process of researching the work.
In the case of “The King of Navigation” by Oda Eiichiro, this work has been serialized for more than 20 years. We can focus on discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the characters and analyze “what way should Luffy be able to defeat Kaido?” You can also analyze what kind of material a scene borrows from, and then try to find Oda in reality. The location of the scene. At the same time, the discussion surrounding what “ONE PIECE” is has been going on for many, many years. Even from an extreme point of view, whenever someone throws out the question “Where is the Nautical King is not bad,” it can easily lead to heated discussion among many fans. It can be said that if “Navigation King” is a work that ends in 2 or 3 years, then almost all of these discussions will not appear. .
More interestingly, just because people gather together often collide with more sparks of thought, so sometimes the discussion of fans may even exceed the author’s own image. In the relevant section of “King of the Sea”, there are so-called “five emperors”, “the emperor’s deputy”, “quasi-general”, “face fruit” and so on. This is probably something that Oda did not think of. Therefore, some people once said in a ridiculous manner: “What does Oda know about “Navigation King”, isn’t he a cartoon? The real experts are in the discussion forum of “King of the Sea”. (laugh)”.
[View 4: The excavation of characters in long works is often in place].
If we look at some short comics or new shows, we may notice the problem: the characters in the works usually look very proficient. For example, the protagonist is often a lazy in daily life. When he is in combat, he will start to say that the “ordinary” high school student, the heroine is a blond double ponytail, the popular supporting role is a high cold male god and so on. When you first entered the pit, this kind of facialized role may help us to better understand the fun of animation. However, once it becomes an “old driver” watching anime, such a setting is not attractive. .
Compared to the characters in the long series of works, it is easy to get rid of the situation of Facebook. After all, the creator can have more time to shape the character, so that everyone can find more charm in the character. Because of this, the characters that have a long-lasting popularity are often from long works. Even if a short piece of work can have some so-called explosion-level characters, it will be forgotten after a few months. .
Take the domestic long-selling work “Under the One Man”, its role in shaping the role of many readers feels a three-pointer. Imagine that if the length of this work is very short, then our impression of Zhang Chuyi is likely to be just a college sorrow. At most, he believes that he has the protagonist’s aura and can open at a critical moment. What now? We know that Zhang Chuyi has a very thoughtful mind. On the surface, he does not shake Bilian. In fact, if someone dares to touch his reverse scale, then the end will be very tragic. As for the other supporting roles, the villains that made us feel hateful at first, will also show their “good” side in the development of the plot, indicating that they are not downright bad guys. As a result, the characters’ characters become more and more full, and they are favored by more fans. .
[View 5: Long works can break through the age limit].
As we said before, the long work is a beautiful memory of many people’s youth. But it’s worth noting that the “youth memories” here may not be limited to people of a certain age. After a work has been born for decades, it is clear that several generations have been affected during the growth process. In other words, people of different ages may be fans of long works, so when they get together, they can have a lot of conversations. .
A few years ago, the “Dream A Dream: With Me” movie version created an amazing box office score in the country, which made many “experts” at that time stunned. After all, before the release of the work, there was already a high-definition resource on the Internet, and it was said that the box office would burst. When people pay attention to the people watching movies, they will find some parents with children, some young couples, and even some middle-aged uncles sneak in “mixed”. This proves that since the introduction of “Doraemon” in the early 1990s, the blue fat man has become an eternal classic in the hearts of people of different ages.
It’s not just “Doraemon”, but now “Detective Conan: Zero’s executor” is also moving toward the billion-dollar box office with resources already on the Internet. Now, let’s go to some platforms that discuss Conan. We will find that the topic we are talking about is “When will Xinlan get married?” “Is there a chance for Xiaoye?” “What is the purpose of the BOSS of the black organization?” In fact, these topics may have been discussed since many years ago. To this end, even if you are a 30-year-old “Conan” fan, you can still talk to a 13-year-old child on these topics for a long time, and will not be affected by age. .
And other non-long works have no such good luck. After the 80s, the “Beidou Shenquan” is not likely to catch a cold after 00. The “Sword Art Online” that I liked after 00 may make I feel that I can’t find it after the 80s…
[Viewpoint 6: Public opinion will be more relaxed in the face of long works].
Whether it is in Japan or our country, although many places emphasize the importance of the second-yuan culture, there are still many people and public opinion that there is an attitude of “anime is very naive” and even some society is not good. The reason for the phenomenon is blamed on the influence of animation. .
But there is one point worth paying attention to: when these public opinions attack the works, they usually “open the side” of those long works. For example, perhaps the public opinion will think that the scale of some new program animations is too large, and the welfare color is too heavy, to “damage the health of young people.” But to be fair, these elements have appeared in Toriyama’s “Dragon Ball”, but few media dare to stand up and attack “Dragon Ball”, otherwise it will be easily overwhelmed by the netizens’ saliva. .
This may be the privilege of a long work. Because of their deep mass base, even the public opinion can’t easily buckle the fans of the works, so the anime fans can publicly express “I like “Dragon Ball”” and “I like to watch “The King of Navigation””. And don’t worry about the cold eyes of others. It’s also the work that everyone saw when they were young. If you say that you love Conan for more than 10 years, then everyone will think that you are a big fan of the volute, but if you say that you still like to watch the gourd, you may The evaluation you get will be completely different. .
I have listed some of the benefits of following a long story. I don’t know if everyone has benefited from it. What other benefits do you think exist? Everyone is welcome to comment positively, and good comments will be displayed in tomorrow’s topic. .
And yesterday’s topic “What are the anime characters that are also evil?” also triggered a lot of comments from anime fans. Let’s take a look at what the representative says. .
