Best wishes for animation production

Generally speaking.

A happy end is always easier to accept than a bad end.

After all, not many people like sad stories.

But this does not mean that the bad end is not good. In fact, a tragedy with a reasonable plot and well-acted performance will make people sad, but it does not affect the audience's enjoyment of the work.

There are many such examples.

For example, "Your Lie in April".

But factors such as a reasonable plot and good performances are not so easy to achieve.

For many works, for one reason or another, let alone being successful, they can’t even match the edge. In the end, the result is an ad end. You can imagine the result.

The audience didn't feel any sadness at all, they just felt like they were being force-fed shit.

And there are more such examples...

In fact, tragedy is okay.

Not bad really.

The most terrible thing is to make the audience feel like "they are being fed shit".

Once the audience feels this way.

That's a big deal.

Because... once most viewers feel this way, it means that no matter how good the animation was before, it is useless, and all the shortcomings of the animation that were ignored or forgotten before will become the "original sin" of the work.

Isn't "Aldnoah Zero" delicious?

It actually smells pretty good.

Especially the first season.

The famous scene begins with a nuclear explosion, the plot unfolds step by step, the calm but lovable male protagonist, etc.

But if you want to say that the first season has no shortcomings, that's impossible.

The characters are forcibly reduced to intelligence, and it feels like the Earth Alliance is completely supported by the male protagonist, the supporting characters are bitter and hateful but useless, and there are also those 2B Martian robots, etc...

These are all worth complaining about.

However, during the first season of this animation, and even before the end of the animation, few people mentioned these shortcomings.

The reason is that the animation looks good before it finishes playing.

The audience was quite happy watching it until they were fed shit.

But after the finale aired.

The complaints came in waves.

The reason is also very simple...

The audience felt their intelligence was insulted.

All the advantages of animation are nullified.

The shortcomings are infinitely magnified.

The current situation with "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" is similar.

Although "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" is finished very early and has only aired its second episode, it stands to reason that even if Alice, who seems to be the heroine, exits, it should not arouse too much dissatisfaction.

But... the character of the male protagonist of this animation is really annoying, especially in the first episode.

Some people were already dissatisfied.

Arrogant, arrogant, naive, doing things without thinking, protecting one by one, etc...

If the final tragedy did not happen, the audience would be able to accept it reluctantly. After all, the animation is still very good.

The audience can wait and expect the male protagonist to change and become handsome.

But after tragedy strikes...

The male protagonist who protects everything cannot protect anything.

In the final desperate situation, I even wanted to repeat the same words.

Against the backdrop of the second male lead, he looks like a retard.

Although the scene where he tried his best in the end was very tragic, the audience still remembers who caused it all.

and……

The animation is so good.

This makes Alice's death difficult to accept.

Everything.

As a result, the audience felt like they were being fed shit...

Alice's death was the trigger, and the male protagonist became the "original sin" of the animation "Embrace a Better Tomorrow".

Anyway, things are getting a bit big now...

YUKI Studio.

"I'm really in the dark! I can actually brag about such an animation! Let me tell you clearly, the male protagonist of this animation is a brain-dead, imbecile, and has no ability to think independently. In comparison, the second male lead has more Okay? At least they wanted to let the heroine leave first in the end, instead of saying meaningless words."

"Really, I can't figure it out now. I can't figure out why the second male protagonist and the female protagonist, who are nobles, would know such a fool. The second male protagonist and the female protagonist are a talented and beautiful couple. How could it be the male protagonist's turn to disrupt the situation!"

"Huh... I'm sorry, I admit, I am indeed a little excited. In fact, I haven't fallen asleep since watching the second episode last night. I rushed out this video just to express my dissatisfaction. I am I have a lot of opinions about the male protagonist! I think there is something wrong with his character! The animation is indeed good, but I can’t accept such a male protagonist! Before the show started, I heard that Director Gu Xue had a falling out with the original author because of plot issues. , I don’t know if it’s the animation team’s fault or the comic book author’s fault that it’s like this, I can’t control it!”

"I'm giving up the show! Goodbye! Stupid male protagonist! With such a male protagonist, I have no interest in the next plot! I'll watch NMD."

An UP owner whose ID is Haoduoyu is spitting out fragrance.

Gu Xue was sitting in front of the computer, watching a video.

"Senior..." Sato Ei called her worriedly, and then stuffed spicy sticks into her mouth...

Gu Xue raised her head and glanced at Sato Ei, then snatched the spicy sticks from her hand and stuffed a few of them into her mouth.

"Eh……"

"Eat less of this stuff."

Mihara Chisa tugged on Gu Xue's sleeve.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Misawa Hiroshi felt a little dumbfounded. He also watched the second episode last night. It was indeed shocking, but the audience's evaluation of the second episode... was indeed very poor.

When he first entered the office, he was a little worried that Gu Xue, who was serving as a TV animation supervisor for the first time, would not be able to withstand such a blow.

After all, she had a smooth journey and was always praised for everything she did.

Now I am being scolded so bloody...

Although it was mainly because of the male protagonist, Gu Xue was the supervisor after all, and she was also sprayed.

But now it seems... I was worrying too much.

I thought about it for a while.

Misawa smiled bitterly and said: "Gu Xue, now...it's time to think about how to deal with the turmoil on the Internet. Moreover, if the following episodes are too depressing, many viewers may be discouraged. You..."

"...How to deal with this?"

Gu Xue put down the spicy strips and rolled her eyes.

Then clicked on another playback window.

"Stupid male protagonist, why wasn't he the one who died?"

"vomit……"

"Garbage animation, garbage male protagonist."

"To be fair, there are problems with the male protagonist's character, but considering his background, it's quite normal. After all, he hasn't grown up yet. We can forgive him once, so... I chose to watch "I "Harem" is also a different world series, at least the heroine will not die there [bye]."

"The characters created by the production team are like shit and abandoned."

"..."

The barrage filling the screen was all expressing dissatisfaction.

The same goes for the comments section.

Now, it's not that there are many fish... Li Duduo is the only one who finds the male protagonist annoying.

In fact, the impact caused by the second episode after it was broadcast was quite large.

Now the rating of the animation "Embrace a Better Tomorrow" on video websites has dropped from 9.2 points after the first episode was broadcast to 5.6 points...

On Amazon, the pre-sale ranking of the first volume of the disc has also dropped all the way down. In major forums and communities, people have posted pictures of canceling subscriptions, often followed by a picture of canceling subscriptions...

Anyway, the animation seems to be broken.

The current CDD Animation Workshop is in a state of gloom and mist.

From great joy to great sorrow, it only took a week.

Gu Xue was actually mentally prepared before the broadcast started, but when she first saw the scolding on the Internet, she was still shocked.

It just didn't show.

After all, a gloomy look is of no use.

She is also the boss of the studio, and it is not a good thing to bring pressure to others.

Gu Xue could only hold it in.

Although the audience's growing dissatisfaction made her very uncomfortable...

The problem of slow updates should be alleviated soon, although I'm not sure, ah... Work is really annoying sometimes. You have to look at the boss's face, and the boss has to look at his boss's face, and take the other person's words seriously. The imperial edict doesn't care at all how much energy it takes for the people under him to achieve that level of chaos, bullshit...

Speaking of which, Gu Xue might still be my ideal boss...
