"Teacher Qin Han said before that he wanted to make an unprecedented magical girl animation. Now it seems that he did what he said. In fact, the sudden death of Senior Sister Mami is just the most prominent plot explosion point. If we pay attention carefully, we will find many chilling details."
"After Senior Asami died, Cupi was like he was sending nothing. He immediately asked Koyuan and Sayaka to sign a contract with him to become a magic girl to fight against the witch. Don't you think this guy is very black-bellied? He is not as cute and innocent as those contract beasts in traditional magic girl animations."
"I have noticed it too. Now I think that the death of Senior Sister Asami may even be its conspiracy. The purpose is to create a crisis and force Xiaoyuan and the others to sign a contract with it and become a magic girl."
"Seeing Akamiyan's previous pursuit of Cupi, she should know a lot, right? I really look forward to the subsequent plot."
"It's really hard to accept that the character that is so full and vivid, Aomi's death is like this. Could it be that Koyuan's wish to become a magical girl is to resurrect her senior?"
"It's very likely, but don't have too much hope. I think Mr. Qin Han, as a screenwriter, will definitely not use such an easy-to-guess plot..."
Tadahiro Shimizu's heart was still aching due to the death of Senior Sister Asami. However, he still couldn't help but participate in the plot discussion.
There is no way, who said that the plot, characters, foreshadowing, and worldview settings of this animation are so fascinating? If it were just a gimmick for a dead person to turn around, it would never have caused such a big response.
This different magic girl animation, or "anti-magic girl animation", does give people a refreshing and unstoppable feeling.
"This is probably the so-called "dew flavor"." Tadhiro Kiyomizu was impressed by Qin and Han.
Before the release of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan", the animation copyright was sold to all over the world. China's B station, European and American animego and other video websites will broadcast this animation simultaneously with Japan.
Therefore, after the third episode was broadcast, not only 2CH, the United States 4CH, reddit, China's Tieba, etc., social platforms related to ACG culture around the world had a heated discussion on "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".
The previous controversy about the promotional methods of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" quickly disappeared, and replaced by a "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" craze that swept the entire Internet.
Almost every online community related to animation is talking about this animation.
The data that is easiest to see the changes at a glance is that on Amazon, the number of BD/DVD reservations for "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has increased sharply like a Rocket. Not only is it firmly sitting on the first place in the January new anime reservation list, but the gap with the second place is also getting bigger and bigger.
…………
Hiro Okada did not go to work this Saturday. After "Sailor Moon" premiered, there was no need for him to go to the company every day.
"SHAFT has never responded to the criticism of public opinion. Such a slow animation company cannot survive in this Internet era. I guess that this week, the sales growth of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" will begin to slow down significantly..."
Although Hiro Okada was not the initiator of the criticism of the promotional methods of "Magic Girl Koyuan" formed on the Internet, he was also the one who fueled the fire.
After the well-known independent animation critic Hayasu Ryumaruto published that commentary, he immediately understood that this was a great opportunity to hit his opponent, so he quickly followed up and spent money to bribe a group of online media and free critics, and criticized SHAFT.
After a period of brewing, the effect should be revealed soon.
"In the early morning of this year, the third episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" has been aired, right? The audience should be tired of this kind of work that has no highlights in the plot, but only makes mysterious works."
Hiro Okada still has a very serious prejudice against the animation produced by his old rival Hiroshi Wakao. He didn't believe that the reservation sales of "Magic Girl Komaki" can continue to strengthen. Even because of the bad reviews that were too commercialized before, there will be many people who have already booked the disc and choose to unsubscribe.
With a joke, Okada Hiro opened the sakura website.
As soon as he was inquired, he was immediately stunned by the terrifying PT value of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". His whole body was as if he had been petrified and stood in front of the computer.
After a while, Hiro Okada reacted and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Is there an error in the statistics? According to the PT value, after the third episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" was broadcast, only twelve hours later, the reservation sales increased by 3,000! If you continue according to this trend, I am afraid that the final sales of this animation will exceed 100,000..."
Hiro Okada's state of mind at this time was like a monk in a Jindan stage who suddenly encountered a boss in a Nascent Soul stage in a cultivation novel. Apart from taking a breath and saying "It's so scary", he could not have any other reaction for a while.
That's a sales volume of 100,000 yuan per volume!
In history, only milestone animation works such as "Space Battleship Yamato 2279" and "Akira" have achieved this sales. The average volume of popular comic adaptations may reach 340,000 yuan - this is also what Okada expects for the animation version of "Saint Moon". However, for animators, the number of 100,000 yuan is like the wall of sighs in "Saint Seiya", which is simply insurmountable.
"Impossible, how could "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" be able to match those great animations? Something must have been wrong!"
Hiro Okada suddenly felt anxious.
He was about to smoke a cigarette and calm down, but found that the cigarette box was already empty.
So Hiro Okada came to a convenience store near his home. Just as he was taking a box of cigarettes and preparing to check out, the conversation between two young men next to him attracted his attention.
"Hey, have you watched "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan"? I tell you, it's amazing. After watching the third episode in the early morning, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep and kept discussing it with others online."
"I watched the first episode and felt that "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" was no different from other Magic Girl animations, so I abandoned it. Is it really as powerful as you said?"
"Of course, I won't give you spoilers here. Don't read the comments on the Internet, go back and read them later!"
As the two young men went further and further, Okada Hiroshi could only hear exclamations such as "Si Kuichi" and "white teeth" that were not much.
The doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
Chapter completed!
