My Animation Era

no doubt.

The anime "Dragon Fighter 2" disappointed many old fans, especially those who expected the second season to be better than the first.

Everyone thinks very simply.

Not to mention surpassing the first season, at least something new should be done so that everyone can see something new in the second season, right?

Is this the result? !

If "Lightbringer" had not appeared, everyone's expectations for "Dragon Fighter 2" would not have been too high, and the reputation of this season would not have dropped to the bottom.

But...

Three months ago, the companion piece "Light Messenger" was aired.

After watching The Lightbringer, and then watching the second season, almost everyone will have a series of questions in their minds, and they can't help but torture themselves: What is this?

No comparison, no harm!

It is precisely because the animation "Lightbringer" whetted the appetite of many fans some time ago that everyone is extremely dissatisfied with "Dragon Fighter 2".

In everyone's opinion.

Even Wanbao, the companion animation to Dragon Fighter, has done such a good job. Then the orthodox sequel must be more exciting and better-looking than this, right?

Turns out it’s the Pro version of Season 1?

【disappointment! Too disappointed! 】

[Wanbao, are you worthy of us? In order to go home early and watch the second season, I even gave up this month’s perfect attendance award...]

[I don’t want to say anything anymore. Geneva will refund the money and that will be it. In vain, I even bought a Dragon King to support it, which was really disappointing! 】

[Arrived at the first star realm of Star Boundary Mountain, this place is so beautiful! Oh, isn’t this the Nova Dragon God? 】

[Let’s take a look at Avanti next door, family! Isn’t that 10,000 times better looking than Dragon Warrior 2? 】

There was overwhelming condemnation online.

As the producer of this game, Lightning Studio's official Weibo, the comments are all from fans who came here to vent their dissatisfaction after watching the first few episodes of "Dragon Fighter 2".

Even Gu Miao was severely affected.

Of course, this is normal. Not to mention that he is the boss, as long as he knows about anything related to Wanbao, he can be scolded anyway, regardless of whether he knows about it or not.

Secondly, he was the director of the first season.

He left after filming the first season and irresponsibly handed over the sequel to others, which resulted in poor performance.

If you don't scold him, who will you scold?

Due to the frequent encounters with online violence, Gu Miao has become accustomed to it and even feels that the violence is not strong enough. The aggressiveness of this group of fans is somewhat lacking.

Just scold me!

If being scolded can make the audience feel better, then Gu Miao doesn't mind being bullied online or even ridiculed.

Anyway, this isn't the first time.

Rather than being scolded, he actually cares more about the ratings.

He thought that the overwhelming criticism on the Internet would greatly affect the ratings of subsequent episodes of the animated "Dragon Fighter 2".

After all, according to netizens, if Wanbao did the second season so poorly that even dogs would shake their heads after watching it, the ratings will definitely drop significantly.

The results are surprising...

Starting from the 4th episode, although the ratings dropped, it was no longer as grand as the first few episodes. However, the magnitude of the decline is still within the acceptable range.

in other words.

There is a big difference between the audience's words and actions, that is, the typical inconsistency between words and actions.

They keep saying that the second season is so bad that no one will watch it, but in fact the ratings drop is limited, which proves that most people are very honest about their bodies.

It’s absolutely amazing!

Gu Miao was speechless at the duplicity of the audience, and at the same time felt that "Dragon Fighter 2" was very worthless.

It’s a good person who has been wronged...

To be honest, "Dragon Fighter 2" is indeed the Pro Plus enhanced version of the first season, and it does not feel "bright at the moment".

But this does not mean that the second season is completely useless and a complete bad work.

In fact, the second season is not bad at all.

It's just not as classic as the first season, nor as novel as the third season, it's just a bit mediocre.

Apart from these two points, looking at this work from an objective and neutral perspective, it is not difficult to find that the second season is not as bad as imagined.

The quality is above the passing line.

An animation like this, I wouldn't dare to say that it stands out among the rest in normal times, but it is at least a strong contender for the title of annual ratings champion (animation).

All I can say is that it’s all the light user’s fault!

If "Lightbringer" hadn't whetted the audience's appetite, the second season would still have caused dissatisfaction, but at least it wouldn't have attracted so much criticism.

"Forget it, that's it."

After realizing that the plummeting reputation had become a fact and would be difficult to reverse, Gu Miao immediately gave up her plan to improve the reputation.

Leave it alone.

The reputation dropped in the second season, so it will be restored in the third season. Don’t forget, the third season of the anime “Dragon Fighter” is a blockbuster!

Domestically, the impact of the third season is even greater than the first two seasons combined.

The popular translation of "Dragon Fighter" was originally the name given by Liaoyi to the third season of the animation, rather than the translation of the "Demon Heroes" series.

This shows how amazing and special the third season is.

…

What is lost is the east corner, and what is gained is the mulberry tree.

Although Wanbao Animation encountered Waterloo in the "Dragon Fighter 2" project, both reputation and ratings dropped.

But another work released at the same time, the animation "The Story of Afanti", directed by Liang Xiaodong and jointly produced by Puppet Studio and China Overseas Film Studio, achieved unexpected success.

Ratings were low at first…

But backed by CCTV's exaggerated ratings share and audience base, coupled with the excellent quality of the works, the ratings quickly took off.

Avanti, who rides a donkey, wears Western-style clothing and has a goatee, quickly gained the love of countless children.

"Afanti is so smart!"

"Mr. Bayi is so stupid..."

These two sentences are a mantra that children from all over the country often talk about after the animation was broadcast.

To be honest, the story of smart and kind little people playing tricks on bad guys and fighting for the poor is very cliché...

But a clichéd story doesn’t mean it’s not good to watch.

There is a truth that many people have not thought about, that is, what is the reason why clichéd story plots have been circulated for so many years?

It's like a hero saving a beauty.

When modern people mention the words "Heroes save beauties," their expressions are full of ridicule. It seems that they are still playing this old routine no matter how old they are.

However, in literary works, film and television works, and animation works, scenes of heroes saving beauties are common. Why do people still watch them with gusto?

The reasoning behind it is not difficult to understand.

Because children all hope that they can become someone like Afanti.

Don't talk about kids.

Gu Miao is almost an old man, and sometimes she can't help but think that it would be great if she could be as smart and witty as Afanti.

Under this premise, the clichéd story becomes no longer so cliché and instead touches people's hearts.
