Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

The new anime "Kill! Akame ga Mitsukoshi" became popular all of a sudden. At least from the performance of the first episode, it has the potential to become the new anime overlord.

Especially the title of this new anime is marked with [Original work: Aoyama], the name of the most famous cartoonist of the new generation in recent years!

The influence of Lin Qingshan's pen name is probably equal to the name of his previous life, Old Urobuchi, in this world.

Once the name "Aoyama" is attached, if this anime has any signs of taking off in the front, it will be touted as a masterpiece that will surely be deified in the future if it does not collapse!

And Lin Qingshan's record since he became a cartoonist has undoubtedly given the audience a shot of adrenaline.

Collapse?

It's impossible to collapse, this is the work of the old thief Aoyama.

The old thief Aoyama has created so many works. Even if he went to the next door special effects film and created a "Kamen Rider Ryuki" in another field, there was no sign of collapse, but it took off in the end.

Moreover, "Kamen Rider Ryuki" has become another masterpiece in the history of the "Kamen Rider" series!

It won't collapse at all!

Lin Qingshan's comic fans are quite confident. After all, in this case, most people prefer to see their favorite creators maintain their undefeated status.

There will even be fans who will always defend their favorite creators even if they know that they have made a shocking case.

This is probably the origin of the Internet filial son at the beginning.

But this is not incomprehensible.

Most people hope that their favorite creators and works are almost perfect, and they also hope that the things they like can be liked by others.

That's why they are overwhelmed by this kind of love and can't distinguish right from wrong.

Lin Qingshan's comic fans are the same. It has to be said that he likes to get close to comic fans like this, and the works he has created since his debut have never suffered a Waterloo, which has led to the birth of a group of extremely loyal hardcore fans among his fans.

This is not bad, because... Lin Qingshan, as a plagiarist, is really not likely to fail.

It is impossible for this group of die-hard fans to forcefully defend him - because it is impossible for Lin Qingshan to create a work with extremely poor reputation and have to forcefully defend it.

However, these die-hard fans will have another situation.

That is...

"Kill! Akame ga Mikoto is definitely the new anime king! No doubt about it!"

"Don't forget about Chainsaw Man, oh, I almost forgot, that's also an anime adaptation by Aoyama, that's fine."

"hhhh what a happy trouble, fortunately the update time of the two anime don't overlap."

"It must be another god-level anime, I'll just sit back and watch, it's a work with a blast at the beginning, and Aoyama is the original author, is there any need to question it?"

"That doesn't need to be said, as long as Aoyama, the psychopath, gets serious... he will be invincible!"

"The ruthless are afraid of the stupid, the stupid are afraid of the desperate, the desperate are afraid of the crazy! As long as Aoyama is unscrupulous, to be honest, there is no rival for him among creators of the same level."

"Take off, take off! There has never been such a wonderful start!"

...

And Kill! "Akame ga Mikoto" is not only enthusiastically pursued and praised by Lin Qingshan's die-hard fans, but also fueled by C Station. After several years of development, C Station has already cultivated a group of UP hosts in the animation chat area.

Every time a new show is released, they will make a video to tell the story before the broadcast, the first episode, the middle of the broadcast, and finally the end.

Among them, as the number one representative of the abstract school and the representative of the foul-mouthed animation chat area, Pan Zijun also watched all the new shows including "Chainsaw Man" Season 2 on the weekend, and posted a new video to talk about the new shows.

For "Chainsaw Man" Season 2 and "Madu Ghoul", he is still very conservative, saying that he will see the performance in the future.

But when it comes to "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto", Pan Zijun is not conservative at all.

"The first episode of "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" is so good. If you tell me it's not going to be the new anime, I won't believe it, right?"

"When Aoyama the old thief became a god with "Edge Walker", I said you can always trust Aoyama the old thief!"

"You may not know what it means to use a comic with less than 40 chapters to become the best-selling comic in the Republic in the past decade."

"We usually only use one word to describe such people: genius!"

"I often say that Aoyama the old thief could become a god with the animation "Edge Walker", so it's not a problem for him to continue to create works that can be called gods next time!"

"But let's be conservative for now, everyone calm down, there's no need to be so exaggerated now, "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" is a god-like anime. It's settled."

"Just hold on a little longer, and when it's finished, it will definitely be a god... What? You think I'll fail? Impossible, alas! A true UP master must dare to make professional judgments!"

"I'm just a special effects Medusa, and when has Aoyama Laoze's work ever been overturned by me?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"A true strong man will not be afraid of poisonous predictions, and Aoyama Laoze has never been afraid of poisonous predictions!"

"What? What if it's overturned? "Kill! Red Eyes" is rotten later and you're looking for me to settle the score?"

"I can only say, how could Aoyama Laoze's work be overturned by my poisonous mother? Can I overturn "Kill! Red Eyes"? I, Pan Zijun 512, can overturn "Kill! Red Eyes", I! On the spot! Eat this computer screen! ! "

...

Then this video was spread out, and countless people began to care about the follow-up of "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto".

Will it start high and end low, or will it continue to start high and end well, or will it be like "Parasyte" with a good reputation but gradually declining popularity?

It can be said that "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" immediately received a lot of attention.

Together with the more anticipated and anticipated "Chainsaw Man" animation season 2, it supported all the traffic of the C station's New Year's drama.

The first episode of the second season of "Chainsaw Man" animation has been aired, but it is mainly because the plot of the second season is also relatively bland at the beginning.

However, unlike "Madu Ghoul", "Chainsaw Man" is a comic-adapted animation with a popularity bonus, and the success and extraordinary popularity of the first season of the animation have led to a very high popularity of the second season.

Even if the plot of the first episode is bland, its popularity is incomparable to "Madu Ghoul".

After the first episode of all the new shows after the New Year was aired, the top three in terms of popularity and discussion on the entire network were "Chainsaw Man Season 2", "True Dragon God Selection Season 7" and "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto"!

"Mado Ghoul" was a little bit worse, ranking seventh among the 138 new shows of the season.

If it weren't for the fact that the original author was marked as Lin Qingshan, and C Station invested a lot of publicity resources, the popularity might be even lower.

But... the audience didn't know that Lin Qingshan's expectations for "Mado Ghoul" were higher than "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto".

"Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" is a show that is meant to be sadistic, so even if he tried his best to make some hair knife changes to optimize the plot, the upper limit is still not high.

He chose "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" at the beginning just because this show, although it is not a masterpiece, has a lot of explosive points in the early, middle and late stages, which can support the traffic in front of C Station and attract more new users to join.

This can make up for the slightly flat early popularity of "Chainsaw Man" Season 2 and "Matou Ghoul".

And "Kill! Red Eyes" has indeed caused a lot of popularity at present, which has obviously brought a wave of recovery in the number of users and clicks of C Station.

At this time, Youdou.com, as a competitor, began to get anxious.

...

Conference room in the office building of Youdou.com headquarters.

"C Station's popularity has increased recently, and it has also caused a lot of decline in our traffic and active users."

Dong Hongtu looked at the PPT projection made by the technicians behind him and said seriously, "Now everyone can clearly see that this is our life-and-death battle!"

"There is no way, Chairman... We have tried our best to block cooperation in the animation drama that C Station mainly operates in the past six months, but..."

One of the executives said with a pale face, "The other party seems to have given up the animation subculture, but the short video mode and live broadcast they launched later have maintained a high popularity for them in the past six months. , and then they launched their own animation this month..."

"I know this, but I don't understand these nonsense."

Dong Hongtu waved his hand and said directly, "I only know that only by destroying this C station can we continue to develop!"

"What animation, subculture... I don't know these, but since the blockade cannot be achieved, we have to use some common business methods."

He said dissatisfiedly, "Find those professional studios to lower the reputation and popularity of their main commercial dramas. Do I need to teach you this? !"

"Yes... Chairman..."

The executives of Youdou.com present said in unison.

After the meeting, which only internal personnel knew about, many different voices about the second season of "Chainsaw Man" and "Akame ga Kill" appeared on the Internet.

"It's really boring. Isn't this plot predictable?"

"This Lace must have deliberately approached the male lead? This is too cliché, right? The key is that the male lead is really stupid, and I can't even tell."

"I'm so stupid. Who is watching this stupid male lead?"

"A cold female lead with long black hair, a tsundere loli female supporting role, and a seemingly cold but actually cute female supporting role, and then a silly and sweet male lead... This setting is really boring."

"The scene is so bloody, what if it corrupts children? Report this bloody and violent animation, otherwise what if it corrupts children to fight and kill?"

"It instigates teenagers to advocate bloody violence, why don't you take this animation off the shelves?"

"It's about the empire and corruption, what are you hinting at?"

...

As soon as these bad comments about "Chainsaw Man" Season 2 and "Kill! Akame ga Mikoto" appeared, many viewers and comic fans noticed it.

However, normal viewers and comic fans just argued patiently at first.

But until they found out that it was useless to argue with these people, the other party still used their own set of arguments to be unreasonable.

Soon, they began to fight back spontaneously.

"Denci just didn't receive a normal education, he is just a little ignorant of the world. If you like to watch smart male protagonists, can't you just find the ones you like?"

"You are nitpicking here. Denci is not a smart protagonist. You are complaining about Denci being stupid? You are the one with a problem in your brain, right?"

"You can see from the perspective of God that Reise is just deliberately getting close to Denci. You are so awesome, you must have never been deceived in real life, right? Do you think you are so smart?"

"Is this called an old-fashioned setting? I like to watch old-fashioned ones, I just like to watch characters with this kind of setting, is that not okay?"

"You also said that you are afraid that your child will learn bad things and report bloody violence. How old is your child? You don't even know what behaviors are allowed and what behaviors can only be seen in animation? If you don't have this ability to distinguish, send your child to electrotherapy!"

"Can the other world be hinted? The characters are almost all foreign names and white people. You can even associate this with reality... You are invincible, kid."

"I didn't expect that in the 21st century, there are still people who plan to engage in literary inquisition? Catch wind and shadow is a direct hint, right?"

...

The ACG circle is not interested in this kind of deliberate smearing behavior. In this circle, the real gold will still be dug out by passers-by even if it is painted black.

A good work does not even need any publicity, and passers-by will spontaneously become tap water.

The so-called three fine traditions of ACG are preaching, Amway, and pushing people into the pit.

When everyone sees excellent works, they are very enthusiastic to help promote them.

What smear? For those who like their works, these are simply unbelievable.

Soon, the popularity of C Station's new series became higher and higher due to the counterattack of passers-by and loyal fans caused by the deliberate smearing of the water army throughout the network.

C Station actually won in this situation.

The number of users increased sharply, and the number of clicks and playbacks began to grow explosively again.

But they did not dare to neglect it at all.

After all... whether it can maintain the popularity in the end and whether these surging users can be retained depends mainly on...

whether the series produced by C Station in cooperation this time can maintain its reputation and popularity and land smoothly.

In this way, these users will continue to look forward to the second season of "Magic City Ghoul", and even look forward to more self-made new series from C Station in the future and stay.

But this problem is not a problem at all in Lin Qingshan's view.

"Magic City Ghoul" may still be said to have a bad ending or just barely landed, but the ending of the first season...

That is the part of the plot that is conferred to the gods!

"Zhan! There is no need to say more about "Akame ga Mi". Although the overall plot is for the sake of abuse, the final reputation of this series is slightly worse, but it is still a good work.

So this problem will definitely not be a problem in the future.

However, Lin Qingshan began to consider which previous series should be selected for the subsequent self-made series of C Station.

It is best to have very good reputation and popularity, then...

"Neon Genesis Evangelion"?

"Cowboy Bebop"?

"Death Note"?

"Labyrinth Rice"?

"Made in Abyss"?

"The Burial of Furillian"?

"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"?

Before "Mado Ghoul" and "Kill! Akame ga Mi" were not smoothly landed, Lin Qingshan had already begun to think about which previous series to choose for the next batch of self-made series.

But just as he was thinking about these, the comic plot of "Dao Wei Yi Xian" once again ushered in a legendary explosion point.
