Adapting the old fan is actually a very unpleasant thing. Not to mention that the aesthetics and values of many old fans have long been unsuitable for the times. It is only the audience, which has been greatly restricted, except for the classic works such as “Dragon Ball” and “SD”. In addition, other popular works, the only focus is on “popularity”
But there are always people who are willing to be afraid of being a pioneer in eating crabs. In 2015, directed by Nishimura, the “Tide and Tiger”, which was adapted from the original works of cartoonists Fujita and Shiro, is the representative of Laofan’s reappearance. What is even more amazing is that as a bloody 20 years ago, “Tide and Tiger” Actually, it has regained its vitality in the 21st century and achieved quite good reputation and ratings. This is really a very interesting thing
In fact, even in the early 90s when “Tide and Tiger” was born, he was not just a simple boy cartoon. Not only won the “Primary School Museum Manga” and “Star Cloud Appreciation” held by “Weekly Youth Sunday”, but also entered the 100 media selection of Japanese media art in 2006, which is enough to show that it is a representative of the 90s juvenile comics. The strength and recognition of masterpieces
The main story of the story is that the male protagonist Cang Yue Tide is the hero who inherited the legendary weapon “Beast Spear” and the big monster “A Hu” in the seal of the beast spear, from the encounter to become a partner, defeat the ultimate demon king together” The adventure story of “White-faced” seems to be still a very routine and straightforward story, but it has a different interpretation
In the comics, the characters are very full, and the model of double males is adopted. The growth and mentality of both A Chao and Ahu, especially the friendship between them, are vividly displayed. This is perfectly interpreted by the TV version. With the diversification of the screen and the advancement of technology, many of the original comics are limited to a large extent that cannot be fully displayed, and are more comprehensively expressed, while the plot is perfect in the description of the original. The almost unmodified loyalty to the original, this way of affecting the comics, but also a part of the original fan animation works itself has a high evaluation
Of course, in addition to the portrayal of characters, the biggest feature of “Tide and Tiger” is the style of painting. Especially as a teenager, the depiction and handling of the battle plot is naturally its most important feature. In this regard, the comic itself uses rough brushstrokes to vividly describe the movements, postures and psychological activities of the characters during the battle. Show it, it doesn’t work, it’s extraordinary. At this point, although the TV version of the animation has been trimmed, but also retains the original framework, the appreciation of Fujita and Jiro’s style of performance, with a well-balanced soundtrack, overall, still quite good
If you want to say the real core of “Tide and Tiger”, it is actually the word “juvenile”. The protagonist A Chao shoulders his responsibility from an ordinary young man step by step, completes the final mission, the joys and sorrows experienced in the middle, the joys and sorrows, but does not make him a “mature adult”, accompanied by him The monster Ahu, also found the things he has been pursuing for a long time. From beginning to end, they have changed, but they have not changed. This initial heart has been retained for the last moment, which is the best embodiment of the sense of juvenile. This kind of atmosphere is precisely the most indispensable soul for a burning spirit and a burning blood
Whether it is from the TV version or the comic version, these have been shown, and its success may also explain to us that even in the era of weakness and exhaustion, there is still a pursuit of hope, a yearning for bravery.This kind of ability to pass through time, let different people feel a kind of empathy and feel the same feeling, is the greatest charm of “Tide and Tiger”
