But now, after two months' broadcast, the most popular April genre among the audience is the youth school drama Dancing Youth, which at first glance is unremarkable and not very popular when broadcast.
Let's take a look at the audience's evaluation of this song:
Even myself had high expectations for this film in the new preview in April, and I didn't expect the quality of the animated version to be so high.
Let's talk about the charm of this animation today, which can make so many people fall in love with it.
This film is adapted from Gao's comic book "Jumping Youth". Comics won many awards in Japan in the serial stage, which can be said to be the most eye-catching youth campus comics in recent years. When the animation was broadcast, it happened that comics were also introduced to China.
Wang Piao Piao Yan Cang, the hostess, is not a principal who was admitted to a key high school in Tokyo from a rural town. On the first day of school, she got lost because she was not familiar with the subway.
Fortunately, Mitsu did not meet Satsuke of Gao Fushuai Island from the same school, and finally made it to the opening ceremony. After that, the two were assigned to a class and served as the class Committee.
Seeing this, many people may have made up the following routines: the simplicity and straightforwardness of Mi Jin, a native girl, attracted Cong Jie, and Cong Jie also led Mi Jin to grow up and adapt to the new life on campus. After all kinds of twists and turns, finally, everything will be fine.
However, this is not the way to go. Mizu was a social cow full of spirit from the beginning. She didn't need others to lead her growth, but she led others.
The highlight of this film is neither the growth history of Tumeizi nor the emotional development of the man and woman, but how Mijin did not spend every day of his youth with a sincere, optimistic and sparkling attitude, and infected people around him with this attitude.
When Mitsu didn't face the strange and complicated interpersonal relationship in high school and was worried about being teased and excluded by her classmates, she still believed that "as long as she showed her truest self, she could make friends", and shocked everyone with a Showa children's song in karaoke and successfully integrated into the class.
When Mizu didn't find Meijia, a female classmate who had friction with her, to practice volleyball, she faced Meijia's hostility and asked, "You should hate me very much. Are you deliberately playing tricks on me? " Mizu's sincere answer directly captured Meijia. Who can refuse a person who sees his efforts?
So is Sasuke. Sasuke, who looks charming, is not good at facing his emotions. The reason why he acts like a warm man is to avoid trouble in interpersonal relationship and keep a safe distance from everyone.
When the two quarreled because of some bad rumors of Cong Jie, Cong Jie's first reaction was to apologize and distance themselves from each other, instead of explaining the truth of the rumors.
Only through Mizuho's sincere disclosure can Sasuke break through his past mode of action, be willing to clarify rumors and express his true thoughts, so as to further the relationship between them.
I have seen all kinds of emotional dramas that have conflicts and contradictions due to misunderstandings. This slow-before-fast solution is really refreshing.
To some extent, the relationship between them is like the story of meeting in the first sentence: although Sasuke took the initiative to find Mitsu, Mitsu and Sasuke ran together and caught up with the graduation ceremony.
At first, the audience will feel that being attracted to Mizuno like Gao Fushuai is really a blessing. The farther back, the more I think Sasuke is the luckiest person to meet a shining treasure girl like Mizuno.
Perhaps it is because the emotional drama in this book is really awkward. When "Dancing Youth" is mentioned in many places, it will be labeled as "pure love".
However, the proportion of emotional drama in this film is actually not large. In the author's opinion, love is beautiful, but there are many things more important than love in youth, such as friendship. In the film, Mizuno's girlfriends group is far more important than Cong Jie.
From this perspective, "Jumping Youth" is a bit like this year's Japanese drama "Restarting Life", which highlights that love is not a necessity of life, but friendship is.
Like Mizuno, the author has also endowed his girlfriends with vivid personalities at multiple levels, so that everyone can arouse the audience's * * * and love.
Take Meijia, who is described most profoundly at present, as a common scheming shrew when she first appeared, and all kinds of operations can easily arouse people's disgust: reminding Mizu that her kindness is just artificial, using Mizu as a foil, and seizing every opportunity to approach Sasuke.
But with the deepening of the portrayal, the audience discovered that Meijia was the ordinary person closest to them.
He is neither a natural beauty heartthrob nor a sincere and frank person. He has made a lot of efforts to become a better self, but his bones are still full of insecurity and anxiety.
In the face of excellent people, they can't help but feel jealous and inferior. They will want to play tricks on each other without making excessive behavior, and feel guilty about their own ideas.
In fact, most people, like Meijia, have all kinds of negative thoughts and emotions and their actions are not perfect. They are struggling with self-confusion and internal friction.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Mizu is not so attractive to Meijia and the audience.
Mizuho does not represent another relaxed attitude towards life. She believes that being herself is enough now. Leave the rest to time, and naturally someone will love themselves and realize the life they want.
Some people will think that it is naive not to be beaten by society. But this innocence has its own healing power, which can make people forget their anxiety and anxiety about the future and live wholeheartedly in the present. Maybe this is the secret of happiness.
When we watch Mizu not live like this, we can't help but feel that this relaxed life is beautiful, even all the regrets and imperfections are beautiful, and then we have new hopes and expectations for our own life. No wonder some people describe chasing this piece as "sucking the sun" ~
In addition to excellent original works, the animation production team also contributed to the high-level play of the animated version of Dancing Youth.
The director of the film is small and good at delicate emotional description. The animations of Friends of Natsume and Silver Key directed before are very popular, so it is very suitable for her to be in charge of this film.
The combination of Xiaomei and Xiaomei also perfectly grasps the tonality of the original work. Whether it is the emotional drama of the male and female host or the friendship drama of the girlfriends group, it fully restores the true and interesting appeal of the original work, making people feel very comfortable, like a spring breeze.
In addition to faithfully restoring the original work, the production team also added many interesting details and finishing touches.
For example, the animation started a discussion, relying on OP: the cuteness of the silky duet that left the chart at the end:
The source of this passage is that the two of them wrote ""on the cover of the fifth sentence of the cartoon, and then the production team chef Li broke away from the charts and performed an original dance directly.
Another example is the sweater that Mizu doesn't often wear. The animation deliberately made the bear expression on the sweater out of sync with Mizu:
The biggest bonus of animation may be Mizuno's voice actor Tomoyo Kurosawa. The slightly hoarse voice is very suitable for the girls in rural areas of Mizuno. Whether it is bright, embarrassing or domineering, it can be conveyed incisively and vividly through the change of tone.
At the end of the sixth sentence, the screaming kettle made by Cong Jieshuai in the bud of spring is even more amazing. I strongly recommend you to enjoy this passage, and your acting skills are bursting.
According to online information, the film was completely produced before it was broadcast, so there is no need to worry about the ending, and it is a mess. Basically, you can book the best youth animation by 2023.
As the original party, the best hope now is that this film can be released in the second season. In the second season, there is a story that Mizuho is not very bright, and it is also the author's most wonderful exposition of "youth", which makes people have mixed feelings and definitely sinks a big wave of people.
Finally, I hope everyone can meet you in life, Mizuno ~
