Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

On April 6, 1997, the second season of the cartoon "CLANNAD" adapted from the game of the same name by Pokeni Game Company produced by Kyoto Animation was broadcast on TV Tokyo with the 21st episode, which was the penultimate episode.

At the same time last year, the first episode of "clannad" was released and received a great response.

Countless viewers have said that they have never seen such a heartwarming, funny, and touching cartoon.

At the end of the first season, the male protagonist Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa live together. The two of them should not be too sweet.

Although there are some touching lines like Fengzi in the middle, which made many people cry, but overall, the ending is good and very heartwarming.

The plot unfolds with warm daily life, high school campus life, various interesting characters, and ordinary and cheerful stories, which has undoubtedly been recognized by the audience.

So everyone is looking forward to the second season of CL animation.

However, after the second season was aired, the audience was dumbfounded.

Those who have played the game can say it's okay, but the audience who have not played the game are not mentally prepared at all and are directly stunned by the knife.

Not long after the second season started, the plot of the animation accelerated rapidly like a rocket.

Okazaki Tomoya not only lived in Furukawa Nagisa's home, but the two even got married.

get married!

Can you believe this?

Furukawa is still a high school student who has not graduated. Although he is older than Tomoya Okazaki, there seems to be no need for the two of them to get married so early.

However, the content of the first few chapters is quite normal, at least it satisfies the audience.

She is married and still has a warm daily life.

In the blink of an eye, the heroine was pregnant and even about to give birth.

The audience can't help but doubt life——

What is pokeni doing? Is it necessary to make the schedule so fast?

When you have children in the future, do you still want to broadcast their whole lives in cartoons? This time is not enough.

From high school to old men and old ladies, this is too scary.

However, the audience only guessed half of it right, that is, it was indeed the life of Nagisa Furukawa.

Because she died not long after giving birth to the child.

died!

Can you believe it?

On the day Nagisa Furukawa died, it rained heavily throughout Tokyo.

Countless players want to send blades to Kyoto Animation. The person in charge of Kyoto Animation, Masuharu Kigami, said that we are adapting the game based on pokeni's original game and are absolutely faithful to the original work.

So the blades were sent to pokeni Co., Ltd.

This is called wrongdoing, and debts have owners. Even the signature on the envelope is [Gu Yuan Chunqiu]

Of course, as the script author, Ma Zhizhun did not escape the disaster.

Although Jun Asae said that CL was completely a game outline created by Mr. Furuhara, he just wrote it out.

Polished it up, okay?

But the audience doesn't care at all.

…

After Furukawa Nagisa died, the male protagonist lived alone with his daughter. In order for the child to grow up smoothly and take care of the family, the male protagonist also worked hard.

At the same time, he also tried to forget the pain of Furukawa Nagisa's departure in this way, numbing his fragile and sensitive nerves.

In the subsequent stories, things are actually slowly developing in a good direction.

Especially after returning from traveling with his daughter, Okazaki Tomoya also understood his father, and the family was reunited and lived happily.

Although life is difficult, everyone works hard.

As long as the family is still there, everything is fine.

In recent animations, the situation has become increasingly wrong.

Xi had a fever, and it lasted for several months.

horrible.

Countless viewers became worried about this.

Many viewers directly called Kyoto Animation to threaten Masuji Kigami, and were also concerned about the subsequent plot.

Unable to bear the pressure, Kugami couldn't help but stand up and said that the ending of the animation must be satisfactory. They adapted it completely according to the original game, and there must be no problems.

Only then did everyone begin to believe his lies.

…

Tonight, episode 22 will be played.

In the evening, Furukawa Hirosawa and his girlfriend Yukitake Junna stayed at home and watched episode 22 on time.

Because he had already played the game, Furukawa could hardly hold back, tears kept rolling, and he was on the verge of collapse.

Next to her, Yukitake Junna also noticed something strange about him, "What's wrong? Didn't Director Kigami promise that the end of CL's second season will be a happy ending?"

"Yes." Furukawa Haoze nodded vigorously, "I have played the game, and it does have a happy ending."

But the problem is, this is not the last episode.

Who knows if Kyoto Animation put that hope at the end of this episode?

However, Furukawa Hirose's nose felt a little sore when he thought about what happened in the game.

not good!

Tears are about to fall.

It was actually fine when I was alone, but now in front of Junna, it would be too embarrassing if she saw me crying.

Among TV sets:

Xiaoxi's high fever persists, and Tomoya has to earn money to support the family, so he can only ask Sanae to take care of his daughter. While working hard, he comes back every day to care about his daughter's condition.

Unfortunately, there is no improvement, and it is getting worse.

By the time winter came, it was obvious that Xiao Xi couldn't hold on any longer.

Under such circumstances, the male protagonist Okazaki Tomoe is also going to take Xiaoxi to the place she wants to go and have another father-daughter trip.

If this is the case, she will be happy, right? At least her mood will be better, and her condition will definitely improve, right?

Snowflakes were flying and spread a thin layer on the ground.

"Xi, can you still leave?"

"Well..." Xiao Xi responded with a weak voice.

But at this moment, Xi let go of Tomoya's hand and fell into the snow.

"Xi!"

The hero quickly knelt down and held her in his arms.

Can't go anywhere anymore.

Xi closed her eyes and just gasped in pain.

…

"Dad. Where...are you now?"

Tomoya cried, "In the train."

"Oh...Dad." Xi said in an almost inaudible voice.

"Um."

"Dad, I love you the most."

Tomoya burst into tears when he heard his daughter's words.

"Me too, and so does dad. He also likes Xiao Xi the most."

At this time, large snowflakes fell.

This is a scene that can only be seen in dreams.

Time is frozen at this moment.

The feeling is fading from my fingertips.

His vision gradually darkened.

…

This episode has finished playing.

Very good, Xiao Xi is dead.

Furukawa Haoze sighed.

Although he had played this game countless times and knew all the endings, Furukawa Hirosawa still cried miserably when he saw the content of this chapter again.

The whole person collapsed and burst into tears.

A mixture of snot and tears.

Seizhu Junna next to her even burst into tears.

"Mr. Haoze, promise me that even if I am no longer here, you will live well, okay?"

"Ah, hey, please don't say such weird things, okay?"

…

After episode 22 was broadcast,

Everyone cried miserably. They couldn't imagine why pokeni could design such a terrible game.

Countless viewers have criticized Pokeni and Tsubaki Furuhara online, and even Kyoto Animation, which produced the animation, was not spared.

But Masuji Kigami and the others are slightly better -

Pokeni can be launched as a shield.

We are completely faithful to the original work. As for why we made such a plot, everything is based on pokeni.

Gu Yuan Chunqiu was the culprit.

…

the next day.

Qing Zhiyuan received a thank-you letter from a player, which was signed [personally from the respected teacher Furuhara Chunqiu]

[Dear Teacher Furuhara Chunqiu, thank you for your kindness.

Thank you for making such an excellent game as "CLANNAD", which has made my soul sublime and cleansed.

I have been a bad underachiever since I was a child, and I was a poor student in studies.

I originally thought that life was so gloomy and that I might never be able to gain recognition from others in this life.

However, after seeing the animation that your game was adapted into, I regained hope in life.

I also strive to become someone like Okazaki Tomoya, and one day I will also meet my Furukawa Nagisa.

Thank you, Teacher Gu Yuan Chunqiu.

In order to express my gratitude, I specially sent you something. Please don't dislike it. 】

"I'm really touched," Qing Zhiyuan said. "I didn't expect that the game we made would bring such huge energy to the audience. Look, there are still people in this world who understand us."

"President, aren't you curious about what gift he sent?" Akane Ayase said with a smirk next to her.

"Um?"

"Qing Zhiyuan smelled something wrong."

"This viewer has been very kind by not putting the razor blade into the opening of the envelope and injuring you.

What a good boy. "

Akane Ayase praised.

There was a snap.

The letter in Qing Zhiyuan's hand fell to the ground.

At the same time, there is a broken heart.

ah! No!

How could it be that, after finally getting an audience to praise you, you are still a Baiqiehei?

"President, the warehouse is full of things." Ayase Akane hinted.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely. He knew without thinking that there must be a lot of blades.

Many of them were sent to Gu Yuan Chunqiu.

"I didn't expect that I have been silent for more than a year and still get so much love from the players."

Little HR covered his mouth and laughed.

Nonsence.

Are you showing great love? They really love you to death.

"Sell them all," Qing Zhiyuan said.

He lost a loyal student, who was still a white-haired student, which shocked Qing Zhiyuan.

…

However, thanks to Kyoto Animation, CL has achieved very good broadcast results after being broadcast on TV Tokyo, and the ratings have remained high. Especially after Xiaoxi's death, countless people are waiting for the so-called next week. season finale.

Everyone is dead, can there really be a twist in the finale?

Countless people are looking forward to it, hoping that Masuji Kigami's promise is true.

Under such circumstances, some people couldn't help but play pokeni games and dig out all the old posts on the website.

The audience is still waiting for the next episode to air.

Players who have played the game are brought back [good memories] of the past by the animation.

In the official forum of P Club, the CLANNAD module has become popular again.

"Hey, the endurance of today's audiences is really worrying. Back then, we were the ones who experienced CL and LL consecutively."

"To be honest, when I look back at the animation now, I can still recall the feeling of playing the game at that time. When I heard [Tide Ming], tears welled up in my eyes, completely uncontrollable.

CL is indeed a masterpiece of tear-jerking games.

What I’m looking forward to now is the adaptation of the LL animation.

I hope Kyoto Animation will work harder and let the world feel what it means to be dominated by pokeni. "

"These players, you can't stand CL now. So when you see the plot happening in LL in the future, won't you have to cry all the way to the end?"

"Hahaha, I also want to see the audience's reaction after LL appears. At least I want them to feel the power of the old thief Gu Yuan."

"Ah, speaking of old thief Gu Yuan, I still miss him a little. The last time I had LL was at the end of 1994, and now two years have passed."

"What on earth is Gu Yuan Chunqiu doing now? To be honest, I still miss him a little bit."

"Xu Yuanxuan is not enough for you to miss, so you have to invite the master too, right?"

"Hey, how can I put it this way? There are very few games that are so close to the heart and so refreshing that it can make people cry with joy. After completing the game, they look down on life and death, and then regain the courage to live. "

"..."

"It's over, it's over. There must be something wrong with our brains. We actually miss the days when we were tortured by the old thief from Gu Yuan."

"Hahaha, it seems that the people here are not normal. I deeply doubt whether you should go and check it out."

"You are welcome to the mental hospital."

"I don't want to go to a mental hospital. If I'm going to be arrested, I'd better go to the research institute and see what the old thief Gu Yuan did to us."

"The mention of Furuhara Chunqiu's name is really nostalgic. When will the game of Furuhara Chunqiu be played? Could Pokeni have hidden Furuhara Chunqiu in the snow?

Is it because too many blades were sent?

I promise, Mr. Gu Yuan, next time you release a new work, I will send you less blades. "

"Guyuan Chunqiu, a god who is missed by the world."

…

In fact, the animation of LL is indeed in production, and it is also packaged by Kyoto Animation.

It all comes down to Pokeni. Most of Kyoto Animation’s current livelihood depends on P’s games.

Even if people say that their animation is too sadistic, knives, and tear-jerking, these are not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is more like an honor.

Kyoto Animation has also carved its way in the animation industry because of its excellent animation production and god-like plot.

In terms of animation, the main income is mainly from selling VCDs.

Yes, they used to be video tapes, but now they have become VCDs, which also shows that the times are progressing rapidly.

The world is constantly changing.

…

When I got home in the evening, I chatted with Nao Tsuda about the recent anime adaptation while having dinner.

Tsuda couldn't help but laugh, "Now I kind of understand why so many people send you blades."

"Well……"

The corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth twitched violently.

The feeling of being beaten by my wife is really uncomfortable.

"By the way," Nao Tsuda put down her chopsticks and remembered something, "The plans that Hitotsubashi mentioned before have been initially realized."

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan raised his head in confusion.

She didn't seem to understand what she was talking about.

"During this period, Hitotsubashi traveled back and forth to Neon in the United States. It was actually quite hard." Nao Tsuda said with a smile, "Now I have acquired two small second-tier companies with distribution rights from North America, and I am currently busy They are acquiring other small companies in exchange for Dentsu.

At that time, part of the equity will be transferred to Dentsu and Yuehe's own distribution company will be established. After reaching cooperation, Yuehe's road will be smooth. "

"Great." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

"I didn't expect that this guy Fumi Hitotsubashi is quite capable."

"We're almost ready. The next thing is to see what to do." Tsuda smiled.

"good."

As for what to do, Qing Zhiyuan has a long list of things to do.

It’s just a matter of selecting some cost-effective film and television works that are available with current technological means for production.

It would be best if it could be developed into a game, so that you can eat both sides.

It can also form chemical reactions and powerful linkage effects.

…

How awesome is Neon Dentsu?

Dentsu is Neon's largest advertising and communication group and is basically in a monopoly position, equivalent to an imperial enterprise.

Just in terms of advertising and communications.

What kind of existence is Neon Dentsu?

Any group that Neon can name will have its advertising budget handled by this company.

The power of Dentsu lies not only in its monopoly, but also in its brutality: how the domestic advertising budget is spent—look at the ratings.

Many of Neon's TV stations are self-financing, so there is a lot of pressure to survive. Since TV drama production and copyright costs are high, variety shows have become a battleground for how many advertisements a TV station can receive.

In other words, he is a big money maker in the entertainment industry.

However, Qing Zhiyuan had been involved in games before and could not feel the power of Dentsu at all. This time, after the explanations of Nao Tsuda and Fumi Hitotsubashi, he finally understood it.

The reason why Yuehe has the leverage to negotiate and cooperate with Dentsu is

Mainly because Dentsu's expansion in North America has not been very smooth.

Everyone knows that Dentsu is a giant, so everyone is cautious about cooperation with it.

On Yuehe's side, people who had nothing to do with the advertising industry privately acquired a bunch of companies and integrated them in exchange for benefits.

Although it was not a huge success, it was also a business expansion.

Buying a stake in Yuehe will not affect Dentsu's own business, because it is just an advertising company, while Yuehe is a film and television company, and it will also compete with the Big Four to compete for the market.

What does it have to do with my Dentsu?

To put it bluntly, business is all about interests, and it all depends on whether you can provide the other party with what they want.

In addition, Yuehe is also willing to give up part of his equity to Dentsu, so this can create a more favorable negotiation condition.

When Hitotsubashi contacted the other party, Dentsu's senior executives expressed interest.

…

As long as we reach cooperation with Dentsu.

In this way, others in Neon’s domestic theater distribution will not dare to blatantly interfere.

Because many Neon Cinemas are owned by the four major film and television companies, Yuehe will inevitably compete head-on with them in the future.

Toho often engages in exclusive releases.

But with Dentsu here, they can't do this blatantly.

There can only be fair competition.

If the competition is fair, who are the time travelers afraid of?

Qing Zhiyuan said that it was not false at all.

…
