Specifically, this is a primary school class of boys can brazenly sing “Sakura magic never miss, magic change evil forces all to go away” era. They can talk openly in class about Sakura’s Kilo card, the direction of the plot, and even who Sakura should choose as her boyfriend. In contrast, girls are relatively shy, they will only secretly hum a few words when they come home from school, and then quietly buy a pencil case or schoolbag with sacra pattern; Back then, you could even find traces of a collectible obsession: One student had a complete collection of Kilo cards, and he (he, not she) was a god in the eyes of everyone who wanted to bribe him with a 50-cent pack of boobs in exchange for a glimpse…
For “Sakura magic Card”, in fact, already has the conditions to become a first-class animation: rich character Settings, passionate loli heroine, dazzling fight scenes, reasonable fighting system, slightly tangled plot, to match the characters of the voice actors, as well as carefully prepared music (Cantonese version of op is better). Even after all these years (almost a decade, Tot), I can still vividly remember the main plot lines: Sakura Kino Moto, who summons magic to fight with the brand of Kuro, likes to ride a winged stick and roller skate to school, probably in the fourth grade, and has a crush on her brother’s classmate Snow Rabbit (whose name is so fierce now); Good friends know the world, like to make Sakura cosplay clothes and candid Sakura battle process (grow up absolutely a rotten girl!) ; Elder brother Tao Yao, love to sleep, usually like to bully younger sister (actually is a sister control); Hong Kong transfer student little Wolf, love and Sakura bickering, take it for granted on Sakura (combat dress extremely like Masha Taoist); Sakura’s calling animal Xiao Key, can become a flying lion, often play games forget to save (lost)…
Therefore, the sensation of “Sakura magic Card” and even the spin-off “Wing” series may also be unexpected by NHK. A total of 70 sets of 3 seasons of animation, 3 ova, 2 theater version, this short and powerful battle, in that era, but almost invincible. Sakura magic would have been a classic in the last years of the 20th century, before the anime wave, if Pokémon hadn’t been so firmly established.
, even in the long run, not otaku embryo of women to go out, you can also be seen in the film, the boys for a double of big eyes, has a lively (typical of points), have strong combat capability (extremely MOE point), hate math (atypical of point) beautiful little loli without any resistance, so the sacra is crowned as “the early generation of king”; Girls, on the other hand, are easy to fall into the YY of the protagonist; As for the publishers, they continue to release new anime based on Sakura’s success: years later, the eye-burning Shona, the Realm of Emptiness, Dance, etc., will continue this “true, adorable, blood” series…
Tracing the origins of the “Real, cute, and Hot Blood” series, it’s impossible not to mention Sakura’s predecessors (in time): Sailor Moon and Magic Sword. With the classic at the beginning of the 90’s, “Sailor Moon” and “magic sword beauty God” are serialized over a hundred sets of the big actor, of course, ova and theater version also out of a lot, with the female blood series, these two can be called very successful. But that was in contrast to the 1990s, when there were few female novels, most of the plots were long and boring, and the vulgarized interpretation of justice had led to a dilemma: there were too many heroes. How could a young woman stand out from them? Both the Moon Hares and Lena Iambs, though very individual protagonists are also trying to answer this question, and have vague ideas and paths, but they do not take shape. So we can only say that they are the generation to carry on, but not the generation to create a new style.
Start with the Moon hares. Like Sailor Moon, everyone has their own style and personality, and yes, that’s good. I still remember the classic dialogue, “on behalf of the moon to destroy you”, as well as their clothing and combat Settings, have an independent vi system (although more shocking), this is a breakthrough for women’s blood, but they did not follow this path: There are countless fights like this, bad guys show up, Sailor Moon takes them out, and the main story plods along. If we take away the many empty episodes, Sailor Moon isn’t much. In the end, Sailor Moon’s character is only used as a foil to advance the story, not separate from it. And the plot of the reshaping of the character setting is pale and weak.
As for Line Iambs, compared to Sailor Moon, the plot is much more compact, and the characters also begin to enrich with the progress of the plot: strong fighting ability (same as Sakura), greedy, greedy, vain character (very evil), and at key moments of justice (very sudden change)… Of course, nothing is more impressive than her mantra: “That which is dimmer than dusk that which is redder than blood, appear in the stream of time. By your great name, I swear in this darkness, to bring together all the foolish things that stand before us, and give them equal destruction…” Lena I bath has taken it a step further, really, to the point where she can use her personality (I don’t want to use the word) alone to captivate audiences, but there’s still one more crucial thing missing, which is
Cute! No doubt, both Moon Hare and Lena I bath have a lot of cute things about them: double ponytails, poor breasts, etc., but they don’t really call them “cute.” The accumulation of cuteness doesn’t make it “cuteness,” it’s a quantitative change, not a qualitative leap. Try this: Imagine how Lena Iambs makes you feel eating at a restaurant, and then imagine how eating a chocolate roll at Fountain makes you feel (someone in the house might scream). In layman’s terms, Lena Iambs doesn’t make people feel “cute” because of a very important factor — anime style.
In the early 90 s, female blood mixed with young men’s blood and girl’s tenderness, did not find suitable for their own style. As far as female hot blood is concerned, as mentioned above, since it is “hot blood”, it is doomed to be unable to leave the fight scene, but it has to show the characteristics of girls’ hot blood, which is equal to adding female charm in the fight. Sailor Moon has been relatively successful as a continuation of the past, and the Moon hares have begun to become both “hot” and “beautiful”. However, based on the technical conditions at that time, it was impossible to avoid such problems as the retarded fighting scenes and the relatively thin characters, and the appearance design of the characters at that time was difficult to ignite people; In the following film, Lena Iambs basically gives up fighting and turns to brilliant magic, which is more acceptable because magic does not require any physical conditions (except talent). However, due to her passion, Lena Ibis’s feminine charm is almost obscured.
