Is it not a galgame?

While players were complaining about why there was no new pokeni game in the New Year, P Club made a big announcement in January.

Just not in terms of gaming.

But in the field of animation.

As early as two years ago, a comic called "Naruto" came out and was serialized in P-BOOK's Mutong magazine. It has been two years now.

At first, people might just read the comic with the mindset that "the style of this comic is really weird, but the story setting seems quite interesting", but they were soon attracted by its fast pace and rich ninjutsu settings.

Many characters with distinctive personalities and their own special skills appeared one after another, giving people an unprecedented view of the ninja world.

Only then did everyone realize:

This comic seems to have a bit of a stake in it.

As the plot continues to deepen, more people realize one thing——

Maybe the manga "Naruto" will usher in a new era.

Being able to develop the ninja system to this level, coupled with different moves that people talk about, is very interesting and has become a hot topic.

I can't stop watching it.

There are also more and more fans.

After two years of accumulation, the comics have a large number of loyal readers.

Two years ago, pokeni had already handed over the production plan of Naruto to Kyoto Animation. It took two years to produce a total of more than 50 chapters of content, and the rest will be continuously produced as the manga is serialized. , the total completion time is expected to be about 7 years.

But it is enough to be broadcast on TV stations, and it can be broadcast while producing.

So in January this year, the "Naruto" cartoon was broadcast on TEPCO, Fuji TV, BS, KIDS, Gifu...

Naruto tells the story of an orphan ninja named Naruto who grew up stubbornly and became stronger through battle after battle:

More than ten years ago, a terrifying tailed beast "Nine-tailed Demon Fox" attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. The fourth generation Hokage at that time tried his best to seal the "Nine-tailed Demon Fox" in the newborn baby at the cost of his own life. On Uzumaki Naruto.

Konoha Village finally returned to peace, but the villagers regarded Naruto as a monster, and everyone alienated him.

Helplessly, Naruto used various pranks to try to attract everyone's attention.

Under the care of Teacher Iruka, Naruto always maintained an optimistic spirit. In order to let more people recognize him, he made up his mind to become Hokage! Naruto started training with extraordinary confidence and courage, but everything was much more difficult than he imagined!

Naruto has been very lonely since he was a child. The villagers of Konoha Village regard him as the incarnation of Kyuubi and treat him as a monster.

More than ten years later, Naruto entered the ninja school in Konoha Village and met his partners Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.

Soon after, under the leadership of Teacher Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura embarked on the path of practice. What awaits them will be endless difficult and dangerous challenges, and Naruto and others have also gradually grown up in this battle between life and death.

……

As the anime continues to air, Naruto has gradually become more and more popular.

At first, the audience just thought it was novel and interesting, but gradually they realized the power of this cartoon.

"It's kind of awesome, Naruto. I didn't know what chakra was at first, but after watching a few episodes, when the nine tails in Naruto's body appeared, I was shocked to the point of numbness.

Kyuubi has inexhaustible chakra. Isn’t this setting too explosive?

Just being able to use unlimited chakra makes you invincible, right? "

"You are so naive. You have to be able to use ninjutsu even if you have chakra. Look at Sasuke, who is growing rapidly. He basically presses Naruto to the ground and rubs him."

"The characters that come out later are getting more and more powerful. Who do you think is the strongest among the Hokage? Is it the current Hokage?"

Due to playback progress issues, Sarutobi Hiruzen is not dead yet.

Orochimaru has just appeared, but some people are already discussing the combat value.

This feeling is actually a bit similar to what Chinese readers are always keen to discuss:
It is recognized that Lu Bu is the best in the world, but who is the strongest under Lu Bu?

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Pan Feng?

Through delicate brushstrokes and the appearance of powerful opponents one after another, Naruto depicts Neon's own fictional "Three Kingdoms" to the audience.

A brand new ninja world. In this world, there are not only ninjutsu, but also ninjas who can control chakra to fight through ninjutsu.

Some of them fought for themselves, some fought and died for their loved ones, and there were even more ninjas who risked their lives for ideals and justice, and did many seemingly incomprehensible things for humanity and the village. Characters with extreme behavior.

But these guys all have very strong personality charms. Each character has a very distinct personal image and has its own story. It is very similar to pokeni's game settings, but it is precisely because of these rich and diverse characters that makes them so popular. A large audience creates a growing emotional attachment.

It's as if I have experienced a period of life with them. The more I watch, the easier it becomes to empathize with the characters.

On the contrary, they are reluctant to leave them. Once their favorite characters are likely to die in battle, the audience will denounce pokeni on the official website.

For example, Kyoto Animation puts Haku and Zabuza in the front.

When both men died, they both received great sympathy from the audience.

On that day, the official website of P-BOOK's "Naruto" was smashed by netizens.

"What?! You actually wrote two such loving people to death? What do you think?"

"Although I know it was drawn by Masashi Kishimoto, isn't it influenced by pokeni? Can't you control your own manga authors and stop making such heart-wrenching plots?
My little heart couldn't stand it at all. "

Haku's loyalty and attachment to Zabuza has gone beyond ordinary emotions, even if it is used as a weapon.

Zabuza's feelings for dialogue were buried deep in his heart, like lava boiling underground. Although you can't see it, it's thick and warm. Finally, I hope that Shiro and Zabuza can meet in another world. As the first and most touching villain, Naruto has fascinated audiences ever since.

Not only does the protagonist have a complex storyline, but the supporting characters' lives are complete and the poignancy of their stories also makes people want to put it down.

……

A character like Orochimaru can attract a wave of fans, which was something Kyoto Animation never expected.

It can only be said that Masashi Kishimoto’s characterization ability is really great.

Each character is not simply created as a tool. They just go out for a cutscene and then are defeated and killed by the protagonist group. Instead, the details are filled in through step-by-step guidance and the relationship between the characters, even if it is Villains will also be portrayed from different angles, making them more three-dimensional.

It is this fullness that can impress the audience more and make them feel that this is more than just a passionate anime.

Many of the characters in it are very touching.

In fact, achieving this step is already a success.

So by March, Qing Zhiyuan was extremely happy.

He also specially called Mikami to the president's conference room to open champagne to celebrate.

Although Mikami was confused, the manga "Naruto" was serialized by P-BOOK, and the animation was produced by Kyoto Animation. Mikami is a game maker, so what qualifications did he have to open a champagne celebration with the president here?

However, he also tried his best to cooperate with the president.

If the president is happy, everyone's life will be easier.

"If this is the case, then the development of Naruto must also be put on the agenda."

"Huh?" Mikami's hand shook and he almost dropped the cup.

No wonder you asked me to open the champagne. It turns out that the president had already planned to let them produce the game.

"Ok?"

Qing Zhiyuan turned back with the goblet in hand, "Didn't we agree before? After the Naruto animation is launched, as long as it can accumulate popularity, the game will be produced simultaneously."

There was a black line on Mikami's head. I don't quite remember this incident.

He really remembers Yu-Gi-Oh! It’s almost time to go online now.

Naruto?
He really had no recollection of it at all.

Could it be that it only exists in your memory, President? We all know what you imagined, but there is no mind-reading ability in this world.

"But, Mikami, you don't have to worry. You have plenty of time. The anime series planning time is 7 years, so you can have enough time to produce it."

Qing Zhiyuan added with a smile.

Hearing this, Mikami wiped off a cold sweat.

The production speed of animation depends entirely on the drawing speed of Masashi Kishimoto.

In the first few years, Kishimoto was just a model worker. He had to work 19 hours a day, so the serialization was very fast.

If the old thief Togashi had his diligence...

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head and said he couldn't imagine it.

……

"So what kind of game will Naruto make?" Shinji Mikami asked.

"Um……"

Qing Zhiyuan thought for a while and said calmly, "You should treat Naruto as an IP at the level of Pokémon and try various game types."

At least for now, Qing Zhiyuan is not planning to turn Naruto into a card duel game that draws cards.

Wait until the environment matures before considering this matter.

"Then, let's do the simplest thing first." Shinji Mikami suggested, "How about making a fighting game first? Like King of Fighters."

"Ok?"

When Qing Zhiyuan heard his words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your proposal is very good. Three people can play, and then they can rotate, right?"

Fighting games are the simplest, most direct and brutal game modes, but they are much simpler in terms of production difficulty and process.

If the fighting game can be done well, it will actually be very convenient to expand into other game fields.

If Mikami said it would be made into an ARPG, Qing Zhiyuan would still be a little reluctant. After all, there are so many wonderful characters in the comics, and each character has its own combat system.

It would be a waste to make it a single-player RPG.

But making it into a fighting game is completely different. Not only can the characteristics of the characters be brought out, but it can also allow players to operate their favorite characters. Everyone is happy.

In the future, the corresponding characters can be added to the pokeni battle, which is actually an act that serves multiple purposes.

"Well, let's do it."
