Earlier, someone in the Amazon product review gave a point to the “Astra of the other side”, roaring “people who like science fiction are best not to look, eyes will rot”, and long and cumbersome listing All kinds of mistakes in his work (in his eyes) are said to be “the sci-fi survival reasoning style, but in fact, it is a campus romantic comedy based on a spaceship. There is neither science nor fantasy, no reasoning or survival.”

There are more than one or two people who hold this argument. In Amazon’s bad reviews, there are several articles that criticize “Astra of the other side” “not changeable.” The longest of these comments is the top of the commodity reviews that have been animated. This also triggered the onlookers of other netizens. There are also many people (such as a porn game producer) who make a big fuss and criticize “it is because these people, the Japanese science fiction is finished.”
With the words of sci-fi critics, the next saga, “This kind of thing is not a science fiction! Science fiction is… wow,” the sci-fi house, and “science fiction has been killed by these narrow-minded old-fashioned wow” The two, the two are completely consistent in this aspect of annoying, it is best not to ignore

The teacher of the Japanese is really correct, but if everyone is as rational and calm as he is, the world will become better, and the new voice will not exist
Fortunately, some people can’t help but paying attention to the annoying idiots that feel good about themselves
It’s not a new thing to say that “science fiction is over”. Probably from the time when the dinosaurs are still on the ground, the griffins and the Pegasus are still in the sky, and the courier will be delivered to the building, it has been repeatedly said. In the “Otaku is dead” of Okada Doufu, there is a special chapter called “Science Fiction is dead.”
So the sci-fi light novelist Sakamoto Yuichi saw the online discussion and issued amazement: Hey? Science fiction is dead again?
(https://twitter.com/sasamotoU1/status/1173575182016892928).
In fact, Sakamoto himself also published a statement that “this is not a science fiction person who killed a science fiction” a few years ago. At the time, it was also criticized by many people. History is always repeated, but this time, he switched to the position of the critics
The sci-fi saxophonist Yoshida Ryuichi also said: Jazz and sci-fi are not dead or declining all day long

Game scripter, science fiction writer, light novelistオキシタケヒコstarted the imagination:
“Science is dead.” Sam whispered weakly. There is no way, after all, he is betting on the object that his life wants to guard against – the last science fiction writer has also been bitten. Sam complained: “Nothing, the teacher’s words can be written even if they become zombies.” At this moment, someone punched Sam and punched the writer’s head. It’s me. “Is there still a sci-fi fan left? It’s you! Stand up for me!”
(https://twitter.com/TakeOxi/status/1173731602918080512).
Probably the “Science Fiction is dead” theory has been criticized too much, there are people who are unconventional, and put forward another point of view: in Japan’s works for the public, science fiction has never gone to the mainstream stage, let alone die. It is
TRPG Designer and scripter Xiao Taidao Jingjing saw this statement, facing the “Sinking in Japan” on his bookshelf, “Space Battleship Yamato”, “Mobile Suit Gundam”, Macross, Evangelion Initiated to stay
In the view of Xiao Taidao, sci-fi has not only died, but has always been in mainstream works. How many years has the movie “Doraemon” been released continuously? Because they live in such a sci-fi big country, science fiction has become too popular, so they are not aware of it. Just like the word “world line”, everyone does not have to explain, they all understand what it means, isn’t it very powerful?

However, as early as the 1980s, science fiction writer Gao Qiansui Yao and others asserted that “Gundam and Yamato are not science fiction”. Nowadays, “Astra of the other side is not a science fiction” argument, but it is also in line with the old sprayers of that year
Why are there some extreme sci-fi fans, so aggressive? Science fiction writer Ogawa Izumi pointed out that before the Japanese science fiction community had grown up before Komatsu Zuojing, Xingxinyi, and Tujing Kanglong, the public once laughed at the science fiction and thought it was just a “scientific house.” Some sci-fi writers have worked hard to improve their scientific literacy. Such ridicules still exist until now, so the sci-fi world has not removed its defenses
However, because of the network, the speeches people say will become loose shots, and the average person outside the original imaginary enemy will be affected. Therefore, the sci-fi world originally wanted to use the “food science test!” to counter those who laughed at them, but accidentally injured people who were not interested in this aspect, so it was so resentful
Sometimes, the sci-fi world thought that the other party was laughing at the sci-fi is a family, a “food science test!” counterattack back to see, the other party did not mean ridicule, it is their own defense, the result Raised public anger
Ogawa believes that their generation of science fiction writers bear the responsibility and cannot pass on the practices they have learned from the previous generation to the next generation. However, this is very difficult to do and can only come slowly

小太刀右京 says that he does not understand the idea that “the spur of science fiction works is a fun and a ring”, but this kind of thing should be targeted at very private people. For those who are not close and do not have the same context, it is best not to do this. Because others see you saying this, they only think that you are spraying this work
“Although the person who talks may be very happy, but the obedient person only thinks that the sci-fi police are looking for swearing”, this is a very common tragedy. Xiao Taidao suggested that it is best to talk to a close friend in a wine house or restaurant

As the center of the topic, the author of “The Astra of the Other Side” comic book, Sugawara Kenta, did not want to comment on the matter, but he saw that the discussion had not been calmed down, and he had to express his own ideas
筱原 thinks that the comment that caused the topic is correct. Although the tone is not very polite, the comments should be free. It is better to say that the work can be seen by people who don’t like it and make him feel happy
At the same time, he can also refute all the content in the comments. Because the “right” perspectives of the two sides are different
A lot of the content pointed out in the comments can only be answered with “because the number of pages will increase” and “because it is not done”. Sugawara’s dramatic design, the priority is to “draw more exciting, shorter paintings”, so the priority of those who think that “there is a lot of pages that are boring, and the settings must be written exactly and seamlessly” different
For example, the characters in the game got the data obtained by the unmanned detector, and chose a planet whose air composition is suitable for human survival and food, and went there. The comments are very dissatisfied with this. However, the original painting of Sugawara is to make the plot unfold smoothly. The setting is made for the rhythm of the plot, so it will be taken for granted that it will become a “commonism”. He can only say that what he wants to paint is not the same as what he wants to read
Shinohara said that this work is neither hard science fiction nor textual reasoning. What he wants to draw is something like the props of A. A dream, which makes everyone vomit, so you have to look at it from the hardcore point of view, and you can’t help but laughing
In addition, this comment is only that the “Astra of the other side” does not use the hardcore theory of the appetite, and it does not involve the sci-fi recession
筱原 repeatedly said in interviews and other occasions, he hopes that children can read this comic. Although sci-fi is just a stage of play in this work, it is purely a stage installation, but he hopes that “Astra of the other side” can become a child’s entrance to science fiction. His childhood sci-fi experience is the movie “Mobile Suit Gundam”, “Galaxy Railway 999”, “Doraemon”
And leaving an indelible impression in his heart is always the last scene. Amro escaped from the scene of A. Bawa Air, the scene where Tie Lang and Medel parted, the room of Nobi and the room of Roble… These scenes are like a thorn, and they remain in him. In my heart, I cursed, even if I couldn’t remember the story completely, just remembering this scene, my heart would be one of them
He hopes that in the many bright scenes and a few scratching scenes in “Astra of the Others”, which one can be, like those famous scenes, stay in the hearts of the children. Of course, the final return is the same

This gives the end of the text too much like an ad. So let’s end up with the words of the cartoonist Sushui Spiral Teacher who has created many sci-fi works:
I don’t know what sci-fi recession will not decline, but space opera pornography has disappeared
