Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

Even though this world has so many imperfections, humans are like a species full of sin, always carrying original sin, and like demons.

But the world still has a beautiful side, and humans still have a kind and pure side.

Such a world and such humans still have reasons to continue to live and continue.

So later in "Neon Genesis Evangelion", those humans who accepted completion came back one after another.

Ayanami Rei said that only those who want to come back by themselves and rely on their own strength to restore their human form can come back.

Perhaps this can also be regarded as a story of Noah's Ark. Those humans who still want to continue to live in this imperfect world can finally come back.

As for those humans who are still immersed in the world of completion, they can never come back.

This is the choice that "Lilith" and "Adam" let Shinji Ikari make, and it is also the choice made by humans.

In any case, all the decision-making power is actually in the hands of humans themselves.

The audience is also very satisfied with this ending, because... at least humans have a choice, instead of being forced to accept the judgment of God or the protagonist.

The ending of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is not the type of dark and deep cruel, but it makes people feel warm and healed.

Because they personally felt the fragmented inner world of Ikari Shinji and Asuka, but they healed and made up for themselves at the end.

Although many people died in the ending, such as Misato and Ayanami Rei.

They can no longer come back. Misato is dead, and Ayanami Rei is reunited with Kaworu Nagisa.

But the protagonist finally grew up, healed his heart, and saved the world. The plot really made the audience feel healed and saved.

…

In the apartment of a popular new generation cartoonist who has recently caused a sensation.

"Sparasi!"

At this time, Akutami Yuta naturally watched the entire ending of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" immediately after the ending was updated.

After watching it, he shouted excitedly from the bottom of his heart, "As expected of a teacher! This finale is really sublimated! It's really great!"

When the plot of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was relatively bland at the beginning, he fell deeply in love with Lin Qingshan's new series.

Although he has always claimed to be a die-hard fan of his teacher, he thinks every series of Lin Qingshan's series is very good.

But the feeling of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is completely different from the past!

He thinks that "Edgewalker" and "Chainsaw Man" are Lin Qingshan's peak works, and "Dao Weiyixian" is even more considered by him as Lin Qingshan's masterpiece.

But when he saw "Neon Genesis Evangelion", he felt unprecedentedly...

This is Lin Qingshan's best work!

Especially when the plot progressed to the summary of episode 14.

He even had a strong premonition that he wanted to pay tribute to it and design a similar related plot.

However, this was rejected by Lin Qingshan later, which made him very disappointed.

Now, after watching the most ups and downs and climax of the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", he felt even more disappointed.

Because... "Neon Genesis Evangelion" can really be directly enshrined as a god!

This series, with a lot of religious metaphors and the portrayal of the inner world, is really great!

"Since the teacher doesn't let me pay tribute... then I will draw a similar theme in the next comic!"

Akutami Yuta suddenly thought of this in his heart, and then he said excitedly, "This is also a tribute to the teacher!"

...

And he is not the only cartoonist who expressed his feelings at this time.

There is also... Yang Shuzhun.

Although "God Clan" was cut off, his talent is indeed unquestionable.

Although his "Kyushu Lu" was not favored by many old comic fans, and even because of the things he did in the later period of "God Clan", he was avoided like a snake and scorpion.

But "Jiuzhoulu" is still very popular. The brand-new oriental epic narrative plot, the new Chinese style comic style, and his outstanding talent have made "Jiuzhoulu" return to the top five in the comic industry.

At its peak, it even ranked second, second only to Lin Qingshan's "Dao Weiyixian".

But he has no chance of surpassing Lin Qingshan.

The main reason is that Lin Qingshan's popularity is really too high now.

Think about it carefully, a cartoonist who has produced excellent works every time, and whose popularity has been rising for eight years, and has been the most popular cartoonist in the past three years.

How high is his popularity and reputation?

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Lin Qingshan is now on hiatus from "Dao Weiyixian". It is estimated that it will remain popular like "Hunter x Hunter" in his previous life, and even top the list.

Once it resumes publication, it will definitely be a heavyweight news in the industry, and all comic fans will be overjoyed.

The title of the new uncrowned king of the comics industry in the Republic of China is becoming more and more real, not just a title.

Because if Yang Shuzhun's "Jiuzhoulu" or other cartoonists' works want to surpass "Daoguiyixian" in popularity, what they want to surpass is not "Daoguiyixian".

What they want to surpass is the popularity or reputation accumulated by Lin Qingshan who has created more than a dozen excellent works or even masterpieces.

It's like in an arm wrestling competition, what you want to knock down is not the opponent's arm, but the opponent's muscular body that has been trained by years of fitness and is like a human diamond...

In fact, due to the previous unpleasantness between Lin Qingshan and Benya Rothschild, "The Strange Fairy" is now almost suppressed in its promotion.

If it weren't for the Republic of China's Cultural and Propaganda Department asking if they wanted to continue working in the comics industry, "The Strange Fairy" would probably not get any publicity at all.

But even so, the popularity of "The Strange Fairy" relies on word of mouth and tap water from comic fans, and it has always been the number one.

This is enough to prove that Lin Qingshan's current popularity and reputation... are ridiculously high.

However, Yang Shuzhun no longer intends to compete with Lin Qingshan. He is now completely convinced by Lin Qingshan.

Especially after watching the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

To be honest, there has been a saying on the Internet that "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is probably a brand new script written by Lin Qingshan based on the plot of "Gods".

Of course, there is no complete similarity between the two. It can only be said that they are similar, and there is no claim of plagiarism.

At most, the two works are actually half of the same genre.

The reason why it is half is because "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is actually a science fiction mecha series, although EVA machines are essentially biological creatures rather than purely mechanical creations.

But bio-mechas are also mechas, and the audience is okay with that.

And "Gods" is actually classified as... a fantasy youth comic.

Although there is science in it that deconstructs the gods, in essence, gods, word spirits, and alchemy are still fantasy categories.

The reason why the two works seem to be of the same half type is because the two works have many similarities.

For example...there are also a lot of religious metaphors.

"Protoss" is based on the relatively primitive European mythology Nordic mythology, such as the World Tree, the Three Goddesses of Destiny, the Hall of Valor, Jörmungandr, the God of Death Hela, the Black Emperor Nidhogg, and other places. The mythological elements.

For example, the God of Fire Zhurong, Japanese mythology Izanami, Izanagi and Yamata no Orochi, Leviathan who appeared later, etc.

But "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is based on the myth of the Holy Bishop that is currently believed in by more people on the earth.

Both also have many religious metaphors.

Secondly, there is the male protagonist. Shuai Zai and Shinji Ikari are not related at first, but they can only be said to have very similar personalities.

They have been neglected by their parents since childhood and have a withdrawn personality. In terms of shaping, I also want to shape the side that looks cowardly, but is actually violent and fierce in the heart.

They are all unpopular ordinary people, but they are forced to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world.

Therefore, many viewers of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" feel that Lin Qingshan is dissing Yang Shuzhun.

There was even such a saying -

"Watch Itchy Rat, this is how the cowardly male protagonist is created!"

Lin Qingshan was a little confused when he saw this sentence. Could it be that Teacher Isayama and the Giant have already appeared in this world?

However, he looked for it and found that it was still not there.

It can only be said that netizens just happened to play a well-known hot meme in advance.

Yang Shuzhun was not angry. Instead, he was curious about how Lin Qingshan could turn corruption into magic in his portrayal of such a cowardly male protagonist.

Then he watched the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and was filled with emotion.

"Qingshan... As expected, your talent is far superior to mine."

Yang Shuzhun said with some envy, "At the end, will the male protagonist completely accept his own imperfections, accept everyone's imperfections, and then grow up?"

He understood immediately, and at the same time, he also thought that if Lin Qingshan had joined the follow-up creation of "Gods", this would probably be how he shaped the growth of the male protagonist.

After everything is shattered, recall the remaining good things from the past, and finally let go completely.

Then……

"Die like a man."

Yang Shuzhun suddenly thought of such a plot and murmured.

Yang Mingfei will still be a bad boy, but that doesn't stop him from dying like a man, just like... "Ze!" Same as Tazmi from "The Crimson Eye".

What a pity...

He was too arrogant at the beginning and did not accept Lin Qingshan's suggestions.

Now that "Protoss" has been cut in half, he has no chance to make up for his regrets.

Yang Shuzhun thought again of Shao Zai's regretful and painful feelings about losing Eri Yi in the Black Moon Tide chapter of "Protoss"...

Probably this is the same.

But in the end it can only be... "This hatred will last forever."

…

The other side.

Ning Zhizu also watched the finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" with excitement and surrender.

He didn't watch the show with his teacher Feng Yiyuan, after all, he also had his own personal time.

But in fact...he finally completed his first debut work this year.

With the support of Feng Yiyuan's connections, his debut work will be serialized in the comic industry next year.

Ning Zhizu was quite confident, but after watching tonight's finale of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", he had some doubts about himself.

"Will my work really be a big success if it is serialized?"

Ning Zhizhu said uneasily, "Compared with "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and the works of that genius cartoonist Aoyama, is there anything outstanding about my works?"

When he thought about it, he realized that... his "The Legend of the Gods", which he created with the help of his teacher, had nothing outstanding about it.

When Ning Zhizhu thought of this, he couldn't help but envy Lin Qingshan.

"There are indeed some people in this world whose talents are beyond the reach of ordinary people with all their efforts."

He said with some sadness and envy, "I am actually just a mediocre ordinary person. In front of Lin Qingshan, I am really too ordinary."

He lamented this.

Even he was not the only one. His teacher Feng Yiyuan got up the next day and watched "Neon Genesis Evangelion". He had to say with emotion, "Aoyama's talent... is really enviable."

…

On the second day.

The popularity of the "Neon Genesis Evangelion" finale continues to rise.

After all, there are only a few people who can stay up late on Friday night. Most of them have been working on classes or classes all day. They are so tired that they just go to bed at night.

And because of the barrage mechanism at station C, if you watch it later, you will get more barrage and the viewing experience will be better.

The next day, Saturday, also happened to be a "make-up" for the audience.

And before it even started to play, the barrage appeared densely——

"Congratulations! You will see another masterpiece from the old thief Qingshan!"

"One episode of Conferred God! You can always trust the old thief Qingshan!"

"The flowers are finished! God's plan!"

"It's planned by God?! It's already a work of God!"

"Pay attention to the time! Pay attention to the time!"

"An episode is nearly fifty minutes?!"

"Awesome! I'm starting to understand everything!"

"Finished scattering flowers! Thanks for accompanying me!"

"Young man! Go and become a myth!"

…

When viewed with barrage, the viewing experience is actually better.

Some viewers even watched it last night and watched it again the next day. Watching the barrage this time gave them an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

And after the audience finished watching it, needless to say, they also felt that because of the finale... "Neon Genesis Evangelion" became a god!

Originally, "Neon Genesis Evangelion" was a relatively old drama in Lin Qingshan's previous life, so the plot was relatively old and the routines were a bit old-fashioned.

So the previous plot is relatively boring.

But once the finale of the theatrical version of the plot comes out, it will be different.

With the full funding, coupled with the plot and animation directed by Anno Hideaki, the look and feel is really incredible!

Even audiences in this world who are accustomed to seeing many masterpieces can't help but admire the plot of "Feng Shen" and the pictures and storyboards that are full of artistic peaks.

They could only sigh with emotion——

"As expected of you, old thief Qingshan" he sighed.

The popularity of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" on the Internet of the Republic has been rising as a result, but not only the Internet of the Republic...

Because the popularity of the Internet outside has also exploded!
