Is an animation work that can be called a “masterpiece” in any era a real godpiece?

Today to discuss, some of the Japanese anime “recognized gods” that have been named in history are not with their own “aura of the times.” Some people think that “any time you can see that it is a god-made animation, it is a real God.” This may not be a problem in itself, but such a god thinks that the author is too narrow, different people have different “God” “Do not say first, but it can be confirmed that in different eras, everyone has recognized the birth of “God”, so the gods in a broad sense are still in large numbers

And the author’s point of view is, No matter what God’s work, it is characterized by a distinct era. , Therefore, the divine work that is separated from the “era” factor may not be a god work, but it may not be as radiant as the gods in the same year

For specific examples, give a few descriptions of works from different eras.

1, The first generation of “Mobile Suit Gundam”.

This series has been full of 40th anniversary, and it is also the representative work of Japanese animation that is slowly developing towards the first golden age. I think the reason why the “Gundam” series can become “God” is still out of the era. Background. Japanese robotic sci-fi animations have been in the early days of Japanese TV animation. “Astro Boy” is one of the masterpieces, but most of the Japanese robot animation themes can’t be separated from the so-called “super” hottest justice theme, whether it is “Devil” The Z series, or the “Gaita” series, seems to be inseparable from such a style. That is because in the 1970s, Japan slowly emerged from the dark clouds of war. The society gradually got rid of the turbulent environment. The people began to live and work in peace and stability. They need bloody crying and need to encourage the concept of justice. A series of such super-robot animations

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Japanese people’s lives were stable and the economy was recovering. People began to think hard about war, recall the harm brought by war, think about peace, and think about people’s understanding. With the “Mobile Suit Gundam”, there is a robot sci-fi theme animation work that is closer to the real background. The creation of Gundam Fusuke also mentions that “I hope to be a decent villain and the relationship is not so simple.” More in-depth development, and more worthy of thinking about the theme of the work

And in order to create such a realistic world view, the producer is obviously doing a lot of research, the cosmic century is as high as the setting is a thick book, including the size of the body, inside the cockpit The situation, the way of driving, the principle of arming, the details of the relationship between the Earth Federation and Jean, from the technical to the humanities have very strict settings, so the cosmic century is so attractive

But that was the 1980s, and in the 1980s, Fu Ye’s first wave of worlds (Trilogy, First Generation, Z Gundam, and Gundam ZZ) based on the world view, the largest and most popular series or this The world view of the universe based on the worldview of the 1980s. But those who arrived in the 1990s did not eat this set. The most popular robotic sci-fi works in the 1990s are the EVAs that I will mention later. In the 1990s, Gundam also continued to introduce new works, but no matter which works are red, but “EVA”, even if Funo personally launched Up to F91, “V Gundam” and “Inverted A Gundam” in the late 90s, can’t reproduce the glory of popularity in popularity. This is the greatest expression of the “God” era, and it is also popular in the future. “Up to SEED”, “Gundam OO” and “Gundam UC”, which is also the cosmic century worldview, are not the works of Tono, but also show that Tono’s “Gundam” has not kept up with the development of the times. Continue the success of up to. Even if the late Gundam is more successful than the Takino period, it cannot be regarded as the same god

2, “EVA” series

Known as “the rescue of the Japanese Imperial Palace” is a recognized work. Many people think that “EVA” is a departure from the background of the times, that is to say, it is still a work of God in today. However, the author believes that “EVA” is also a work with a very clear background of the times. In the late 1990s, influenced by the Miyazaki incident, the negative factors of the otaku culture were exposed to the public, the Japanese otaku culture was criticized, and the sales of comics dropped sharply, which was a considerable blow. With the use of more live-action movies, Takino Hideo brings more fresh blood to Japanese TV animations, and uses many religious factors to make the content look “material”, plus the shaping of the male lead. The fascinating blood actor is replaced by a timid, fearful thing, and the character that hopes to escape is really fascinating. It makes people feel that they have a sense of “substitute”. Combining these factors makes “EVA” embark on an animation in Japan. It left an altar forever, and it also played a significant role in the later works

The author believes that the “Ava” is a halo, and the background of the times is still inseparable. In the early 1990s, in the late 1980s, Japan was caught in the shadow of the bubble economy. In addition, the 95-year-old sarin gas incident caused Japanese young people to fall into an uneasy pattern. The story of a somewhat dignified “EVA” was unfolding. It is easy for Japanese young people in the 1990s to find a sense of “substitute”. People are groping their way forward in the imitation, sometimes they don’t necessarily have a light, but they may just need to listen to the emotions of their contemporaries. “EVA” has such energy. It does not necessarily have the power to “wake up” young people, but it can make people of the same generation feel that the content of the religious part is read and understood. At least, from character shaping. “EVA” has such a common identity. Apart from the background of the times, “EVA” is indeed an excellent work, but can not be sealed as the god of the gods, sitting at the top of the Japanese TV animation, I think there are still enough reasons to doubt

3, “Bags”.

The light-changing animation boom began to flourish in 2005. Some of the light novels published in the “Electric Shock Library” have been adapted into animations, and quite a few of them are popular works. However, in the works published in “Electric Shock Library”, it has been adapted into animated IP and the sales volume is very high. Only one of the “Sword Art Online” can be ranked, and according to the historical TV animation ranking, “Sword Art Online” can only Rank in the top 30 positions

But there is an animation adapted from a light novel, which can be ranked second in the total ranking of Japanese TV animations, that is, “Bianwen”

“《化语” The author also thinks that it is “recognized as a godpiece” and has little relevance to the times. It is undoubtedly a godpiece to put aside the factors of the times. However, the factors of the times have also contributed to the speed at which the “Binnish Language” climbed to the top of the animation

2009-2011 is the golden age of the author’s view that Japanese light novels are adapted to animation, and can even be said to be the commercialization of Japanese animation. Around 2014, Japanese animation began to decline significantly, and now it is 2019. In the year, many people shouted “industry pills” and shouted “There is no such thing as “the god” in the past.” The author believes that it is not a hole in the wind. The downward trend of the whole industry is very obvious. Just like the animation works in the industry today, even some classic old IPs, there are serious cases of painting collapse, reflecting the looseness of the quality management of the Japanese animation industry. The decline in the quality of the work itself is because too many works are commercialized, and attempts to promote the mining and production of the entire IP through animation, the animation itself is a necessary means of commercial propaganda, no longer as a means A “work” contributes to the audience. Therefore, the quality of animation is also declining

And returned to 10 years, in 2009, it was an era of “Light Voice Girl”, which was the era of the birth of “The Object of Heaven”, that is the era of the birth of “Scientific Electromagnetic Gun”, of course, this is also The era of the birth of the idiom. The author believes that at that time, Japanese animation found a high point in the pursuit of balance between quality and commercialization. There was no overly flamboyant script, no over-commercial packaging, and accommodated (pseudo) harem elements, romantic comedy, weird retreat, and a large number. The fascinating Tucao’s “The Story” is the essence of that era, and the supervising of the new house, the new house, shows that the charm of the work itself is magnified to the greatest extent. (The original work of Nishio, and the performance of the new house, now look It should be a perfect match. The author read the original work and thought that the part of the Tucao still had some boring feelings. However, under the performance of the new house, this weakness was undoubtedly filled, so the “Bulk Language” took the most popular at that time. Hotspots, as well as boring performances, have pushed this success to the climax

“The literary language” is excellent in itself, irrespective of the factors of the times, but “Bianwen” can have such a position. The author believes that it is still inseparable from the relationship of the times. With the creative environment at that time, there would be great success at that time
