My Animation Era

Gu Miao has always had the illusion that the twelfth lunar month passes faster than ordinary months.

To be precise, rest time should pass faster than work time. When I'm working, my days feel like years. During the Spring Festival holiday, I just take a nap and blink, and the day goes by.

It's amazing, isn't it?

It's obviously not long since the twelfth lunar month, and I feel like I still have plenty of time. But in the blink of an eye, the animation "The Magic Soldier" has ended, and the company is about to go on holiday.

The former is understandable.

After all, the serial life cycle of an animation depends on the total number of episodes of the animation.

The animation "The Magic Soldier" has a total of fifty-two episodes. According to the broadcast schedule of two episodes a day, it can only last for more than twenty days at most.

For the children, more than twenty days passed almost in a blink of an eye. Before Nangong Wentian met the Sky Crystal Beast, they had not yet started writing their winter vacation homework.

When Nangong Wentian was chopping melons and vegetables all the way, carrying the Heavenly Crystal Sword from the Jade Dragon Kingdom to the Yudao Kingdom, and even captured the mighty Evil Emperor Xuantian, they still hadn't written a single word of their winter vacation homework...

What?

Has the animation been airing for almost a month? I thought it only aired for two days! Damn it, I haven’t even started writing my winter vacation homework yet. Why did Nangong Wentian pass the level?

The children are full of resentment about the ending of "The Magic Soldier". This resentment is partly because of the plot, but also because, now that "The Magic Soldier" is over, what should they watch during the rest of the winter vacation?

You won't watch "Bear Bears 2" again, will you?

Don't come here!

Those TV stations rebroadcast it all day long. Even children who are not interested in it have watched it twice. If they continue to watch it, they may even be able to recite the lines.

Unfortunately……

Except for "Bear Infested 2" and the just-completed "Magic Soldiers", there really aren't any animations worth looking forward to during this year's Spring Festival.

"Pokémon 3" barely counts as one.

But everyone has been watching Ash's Bizarre Adventure for several years. Even though this season has scenes of Ash winning the championship, it still lacks a certain sense of freshness.

How to develop a passerby heroine?

This is indeed a new show that will be broadcast during the Spring Festival, but it is a two-dimensional romantic comedy animation, and it is not broadcast on a TV platform, and children are not very interested in it.

How did that happen?

In previous winter and summer vacations, there were a lot of animations lined up to be broadcast, and the children were dazzled by them, and their eyes were almost dazzled.

But in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer popular animations broadcast on TV platforms, and there are even gaps in winter and summer vacations. This is very intriguing.

"No, during the Spring Festival this year, I am quite optimistic about the sudden rise of this animation..."

Gu Miao pointed to the animation on the file called "Denzeki Boy" and said: "If nothing else happens, after the completion of The Magic Boy, this animation should take over the top spot in the ratings."

"Shock boy?"

Hou Bin stared at these four words several times, then took out his mobile phone to search for information. After reading it, he couldn't help but complain: "Does this red-faced boxer have anything to say?"

Red-faced boxer?

You know how to give nicknames. A black line appeared on Gu Miao's forehead, and she said angrily: "What a red-faced boxer? He is a super police officer from the future."

"Okay, okay, from the future..."

Hou Bin raised his hand and asked: "Then why is this red-faced boxer from the future - Dian Kun boy, such a sudden rise?"

"Animation made with the idea of ​​​​a tokusatsu film combines many attractive elements such as transformed heroes, super criminals and future technology. It is strange that it is not popular, right?"

Gu Miao took a sip of her tea and said, "Don't treat it like a cartoon. Just treat it like an animated version of a transformation tokusatsu hero drama and a boy's version of a magical girl."

"Then I understand."

When Gu Miao explained this, Hou Bin understood instantly.

Tokusatsu Transformation Hero Mode!

It’s not like I haven’t seen this before. To put it bluntly, those magical girl animations that are popular on the screen are all following this routine, but this one is a male version of magical girls.

No wonder it became popular.

Just like girls like to watch magical girls, who among boys doesn’t yearn to transform into a hero?

Although the appearance of this electric shock boy after his transformation is indeed a bit funny and unconventional, just tell me how powerful the "Mars Power Punch" is!

Thinking of this, Hou Bin seemed to be a little moved, and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, Mr. Gu, you said that transforming heroes are so popular among boys, how about we make one too?"

"Oh? Do you have a good idea?"

"Yes! Isn't there a Electric Shock Boy? Then let's get a Keyboard Boy, who transforms into a keyboard boy by tapping on the keyboard, and fights all kinds of network monsters along the network cable."

Gu Miao: "..."

What a keyboard guy, what a setting where the keyboard transforms and then follows the network cable to kill people, it left him speechless.

"Don't think about it. Aren't we already preparing to produce this kind of animation about transforming into a hero?"

Gu Miao explained: "To put it bluntly, "Superman" is also a transformation hero animation of this type. There is a ready-made "Superman", so why create an unknown transformation hero?"

"Too……"

Hou Bin nodded.

After Wanbao acquired the copyright of Superman, it did have its own animation of the transformed hero, so there was no need to imitate the keyboard boy in "Electric Kid".

He just said it casually.

Even if he was asked to deal with a keyboard boy or a magical girl, he still wouldn't have the ability.

"But having said that, if Dengeki Boy really becomes popular, it won't threaten "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine", right?"

"what are you thinking?"

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Are these two animations with the same theme? One is for children, and the other is for two-dimensional otakus. Only if they can cause conflict is there a ghost."

It would be almost the same if it were "The Magic Soldier".

However, the first broadcast of The Magic Soldier has already ended, and even if it is affected, it will only be a replay. It doesn't matter if the replay is suppressed by others, because not every animation is as outrageous as "Bear Bears".

not to mention……

Even if Dengeki Boy is the version he remembers, the first broadcast may not be able to beat the second and third reruns of "The Magic Boy".

After all, in his impression, although the anime "Dengeki Boy" was quite popular when it was aired, and many sequels were launched, in terms of social influence and popularity, it was not as good as "The God of War".

This is not embarrassing!

Gu Miao also likes Dengeki Boy, but he feels that this is a very ordinary animation. It was indeed popular when it was broadcast, but after a while it was not popular and discussed.

Not to mention comparing it with phenomenal animations like "The Magic Soldier", even if it is compared with Aofei's own "Dragon Warriors" or "Hurricane Warriors", it feels almost boring.

Maybe this is because the animation didn’t create any jokes or famous scenes, and it’s not easy to make peripheral derivatives?

I've watched Dengeki Boy several times, but to be honest, apart from the two robots, I really didn't have a deep impression...
