Big Manga

A few days after the release of "Fire Boys" audience satisfaction, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was officially broadcast on the 25th.

There is not much publicity, and there is no trailer, but there are still many fans waiting to watch by the TV on this day, and the media are also very concerned.

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Wang Lei, pays special attention to this premiere. He has made further progress in the relationship with the Phoenix Company through "Detective Conan" not long ago. Of course, he hopes that He Xi's "Magic Girl Madoka" can beat the adaptation of "Fire Boys" Animation, otherwise wouldn't this team stand in vain?

After getting off work early, Wang Lei sat on the sofa and watched it. His daughter Wang Rui also left school and put down her homework to watch it with him.

At 6:10 p.m., the animation of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was broadcast on time, but at the beginning, Wang Lei was stunned.

"What kind of painting style is this!"

Daughter Wang Rui exclaimed: "This is the work of Teacher He Xi? It's so ugly!"

Wang Lei frowned. The beginning of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is the same as the beginning of the battle scene in "Fire Boy", but compared with the latter, the battle background of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is too abstract! The characters in it are well drawn, but the surrounding environment and background are in a mess, and all kinds of things make people unintelligible. It can't be said that the painting is ugly, but it is indeed very abstract.

"What's this called?... the style of stream of consciousness?"

Thinking about it, Wang Lei felt a little disappointed. Why is it possible that he wants to play abstract painting skills in animation?

This is not a good idea. Abstraction should be abstracted for experts to see. How can ordinary audiences have such a high aesthetic taste? At least Wang Lei didn't feel how beautiful this kind of picture is. Fortunately, after the short battle animation, Wang Lei was relieved by the normal opening song.

The painting style of the opening song is normal. Judging from the screen, the environment of this animation is fine and beautiful. The abstract painting style just now should only appear in battle.

"This song is so good!"

The daughter said in surprise, Wang Lei smiled, and he saw that the name of the song was "Bond". It sounds very comfortable, much better than the opening song of "The Flame Boy"!

He Xizhen is a born composer. His songs seem to be specially made for animation, with a sense of appropriateness that no one else can imitate. And after listening to it, the songs of other animations are not outstanding. Even Wang Lei found that many animations are trying to imitate He Xi's song style recently.

Both the song and the soundtrack,

Wang Lei thinks "Magic Girl Madoka" is slightly better than "Fire Boy". The latter has many professionals, but the preparation time is too short, and the songs in it are not very amazing.

After the opening song, the beginning of the subsequent animation also satisfied Wang Lei.

This is a simple beginning. The heroine gets up to eat with her family and then goes to school. This beginning proves Wang Lei’s guess when watching the opening song—the background in the animation is not abstract. And on the contrary, it should be said that it is very in line with the background of the times, and it will make people feel bright.

The various city constructions in the animation are quite avant-garde, with a special aesthetic feeling, and the story time should be set at a certain time in the future. And it has a modern style, not too sci-fi.

"this is not bad……"

Wang Lei likes this avant-garde style very much. It is also suitable for young people to accept. There should be no need to worry about the painting style.

The performance of animation voice actors is also very good. The voice actors of "Fire Boy" are all from big-name artists. Although the voice actors of Phoenix Company are not well-known. However, after years of training and training, their dubbing standards are not only not weaker than these big-name artists, but even surpassed by a bit.

All in all, ignoring the influence of the promotion of "Fire Boys", and purely in terms of animation quality, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is not inferior to it in terms of music and voice actors. There are some deviations on the screen. The picture quality of "Holy Boys" is said to be comparable to high-definition movies, but the sense of detail in "Magic Girl Madoka" is also very good.

Although the latter is not as good as the former, the audience is not watching a movie in a cinema, so why do they need such high-definition picture quality? If there are TVs with hundreds of inches of screens in movie theaters or every household, "Boys of Flame" will surely win. But considering the actual situation now. On the vast majority of home TV screens, there is not much difference in picture definition between "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" and "Fire Boy", and the difference will only be highlighted in the special effects of the battle scenes.

Therefore, the graphics of the animation will not be the key to the outcome of these two works. In fact, the graphics of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" have improved a lot compared to He Xi's previous animations. Especially for the characters inside, there is no particularly prominent change in the character image, but the vividness has been greatly improved.

Animation is something drawn by a large number of painters. For a long time, in order to prevent the characters from being out of shape, the painters tend to tend to draw conservatively. The expressions on the characters' faces and the perspective of the audience looking at the characters will be limited. However, "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is different. The characters in it are very vivid, and the perspective can be changed freely. Every move gives Wang Lei a sense of life.

He doesn't know too much professional knowledge, but he can clearly feel that the characters in this animation are more "real" and "active"... These characters have greatly made up for the gap between the background and the picture. Wang Lei believes that even if he pursues the picture and Audiences who like "Fire Boy" will not think "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is bad.

"...Phoenix Company seems to have some powerful painters..."

The matter of Qin Ya has not been announced to the outside world, but Wang Lei has noticed that a powerful artist is helping to make animations. This is news worth digging out, and he secretly wrote it down.

The animation ended soon, and the gap between "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" and "Fire Boy" is quite small. It can be seen that Phoenix Company also put a lot of effort into this animation.

In this way, the outcome of the two animations is placed on the 'script', which has always been He Xi's strength. The smiles and tears in the first episode of "Pokemon" and the first episode of "Gundam Seed" Shocking and amazing, which made Wang Lei least worried about the script at first.

He believes that the first episode of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" will be as amazing as the first two original animations.

However, after reading it, he was greatly disappointed!

"It's not good..." After watching "Magic Girl Madoka", her daughter Wang Rui was the first to sigh in disappointment: "The story is too ordinary, it doesn't look like Teacher He Xi's work!"

Wang Lei nodded. The plot of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" is far less interesting than "Fire Boy".

Is Teacher He Xi at the end of his talents...
