Chapter 389 Food Trilogy

However, at present, the popularity of the second season of "Chainsaw Man" is much higher than that of "Dragon Chosen".

At least Fan Siwei is more looking forward to the second season of the "Chainsaw Man" animation.

“Aaaaah… I have to wait more than a month. I can only watch the second season after the Chinese New Year.”

Fan Siwei said impatiently, "Why can't it be released right now? There's no need to broadcast it on TV now."

In the tide of the times, traditional television media such as television stations, which were originally only half alive, have also been defeated by increasingly convenient and fast online video platforms.

From now on, whether it is TV dramas, variety shows, or animations, they will be freed from the constraints of TV station ratings. Traffic and playback volume will take their place and become new indicators to measure the quality of works.

This is certainly a good thing. After all, in the past, TV dramas, variety shows, and animations broadcast on TV stations all attached great importance to "schedules."

The prime time slot of a popular TV station can increase the ratings of an anime by more than 30 percent.

On the contrary, some animations may have low ratings because they are scheduled at a not-so-good time slot, such as late at night, or during work or school hours.

Many TV station executives can take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it. If you want your company's animation to be scheduled during a prime time slot, you have to be sensible and build good relationships with them.

Otherwise, we will arrange an unpopular time slot for you, causing your anime ratings to drop to a terrible level.

This is naturally unfair to some originally excellent animation works. Of course, no TV station would be so racist as to this extent, and not all TV stations would be so racist.

After all, the TV station itself also needs to attract audiences, and even during prime time it has to compete with other TV stations.

If there is complete shady dealings, the TV station's ratings drop, and its performance falls short of expectations, then that would be a huge problem.

But in general, there is still room for maneuver, and it is also unfair to many TV dramas, variety shows, and animations.

It’s different now in the era of big intelligence, where quality and strength are king!

Even if there is such a marketing method, which can increase traffic and playback volume to a certain extent, if the quality of the work itself is not enough, it is impossible to become a phenomenal work that is praised by everyone all of a sudden.

On the contrary, even if there is not much popularity and traffic, as long as the quality of the work itself is good enough, good wine needs no bush, and it can be used by the audience as tap water to promote and increase popularity.

The first season of the "Chainsaw Man" animation was well marketed and the quality of the work was also good, so it became a huge hit.

Therefore, due to the chain effect, the second season of "Chainsaw Man" animation is currently gaining extremely high popularity!
Fan Siwei was very much looking forward to it at this time and couldn't wait to watch the second season of "Chainsaw Man" animation.

But now…it’s no use for him to be anxious.

"By the way, there seem to be two new anime produced by C Station. It is said that Qingshan Laozei is also the screenwriter?"

Fan Siwei suddenly remembered the other two new anime push notifications, and immediately pulled down the notification bar again to find the preview information of "Matou Ghoul" and "Akame ga Kill" that had just been pushed.

After he clicked in, he watched the trailers of two new episodes in succession.

The trailers of the two new shows both begin with the words "Original work: Aoyama". "Madu Ghoul" tells the setting of ghouls along with the painful divine song "Unravel" adapted from the parallel world by Lin Qingshan in Chinese.

"It's the same as Parasyte, both are man-eating monsters, but the settings of ghouls and parasites are completely different."

When Fan Siwei watched the trailer of Ghoul, he just thought that the BGM was quite catchy. As for the protagonist and setting, he just felt that it was a bit too similar to "Parasyte".

The protagonist Kaneki seems to be the same as the protagonist Shinichi from "Parasyte", both of whom are ordinary high school students with very gentle personalities.

However, the mask of the protagonist looks quite interesting. In the trailer, characters such as Touka, Rize Kamishiro, Kousen Fang, Tsukiyama Shuu, and Kotaro Amon appear one by one.

However, at the end of the trailer, a clip suddenly appeared.

An unknown voice said, "All the unfavorable factors in this world are caused by the lack of ability of the parties involved."

Hearing these words, Fan Siwei was suddenly stunned.

This sentence really has a special philosophy when you hear it.

As the sound faded, the images in the trailer became clear again.
"Ho ho ho-"

The protagonist Kaneki is imprisoned in a wooden chair, seemingly tortured, and in front of him...

It was a gentle woman with long purple hair who hugged him tenderly and said, "Good boy..."

Then, Kaneki, who originally had black hair, raised his head in the picture, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and his one alienated eye was full of indifference. Then a gust of wind blew, and his short black hair turned white.

"I am... a ghoul."

Kaneki finally said with an indifferent look.

Finally, the new anime "Matou Ghoul" is also scheduled to be released in February of the lunar calendar.

However, although this is also a new series with Lin Qingshan as the screenwriter and even Lin Qingshan as the original work, people who are paying attention to it are only paying a little attention to it and not paying much attention to it.

At the same time, some voices appeared on the Internet, that is... Lin Qingshan's "Magic City Ghoul" is just the second version of "Parasyte". The same man-eating monster that can hide among humans, the same human male protagonist with a similar personality, but it seems that the male protagonist Kaneki in this new show has become a ghoul.

This is indeed slightly different from the male protagonist of "Parasyte".

But most people still think that Lin Qingshan has run out of inspiration, so he made another anime similar to "Parasyte".

But Fan Siwei doesn't think so.

"It is unlikely that the old thief Qingshan will produce another work exactly the same."

Fan Siwei looked at the comments in the comment section and frowned, saying, "This ghoul should be different from Parasyte. It's just that the setting is similar. The idea of ​​​​Aoyama Laozei in making this new animation must be different."

"And it looks like this new show is going in a dark and cruel direction?"

Fan Siwei speculated and said, "But Qingshan the old thief really... likes this kind of setting."

Since "Flame Fist", Lin Qingshan seems to have a special liking for the setting of "food". Agni's fearless act of cutting meat to feed the eagle in "Flame Fist", and the correct education mentioned by Dema later, are all exploring the taboos in this regard.

The subsequent work "Chainsaw Man" actually also has the setting that demons and devils can recover by drinking blood, but this is not the main point in the plot.

Needless to say, the next work is "Parasyte", the whole work is inseparable from the theme of "food".

In Lin Qingshan's new serialized work on the theme of cultivation, "The Tao of Strange Immortals", Dan Yangzi starts by using people to make pills, which is also a disguised "gourmet" setting.

Now "Mato Ghoul" has such a setting. It can be said that even if we put aside "Fire Fist", a hot-blooded youth manga that is not actually based on "food", the theme is still the same.

From "Parasyte" to "Tao Guiyixian" and then to "Magic City Ghoul", Lin Qingshan has created three works with the theme of "food".

It can be said that it can be called the "Food Trilogy".

Fan Siwei just thought about it, and then he looked at the last new trailer with "Original work: Aoyama" - "Kill! Akame ga Mitsukoshi".

The trailer for "Akame ga Kill" looks very normal, and it is completely a trailer for a passionate boys' manga.

First, the setting of the Otherworld Empire and the Imperial Instruments is shown, and then the reasons and purposes for the establishment of the Night Raid Killers and the Night Raid are directly introduced - it is a secret force established by the Revolutionary Army to overthrow the rule of the Imperial Capital. Usually, their main work is to accept commissions from the residents of the Imperial Capital to eliminate corrupt bureaucrats and villains, and they are responsible for fighting with the Imperial Instruments users and collecting Imperial Instruments. The ultimate goal is to assassinate the source of corruption in the Empire - the Minister!
Then, in a passionate way, with the exciting BGM, the main characters of the Night Raid Group, including the male protagonist Tatsumi, the female protagonist Akahime, Mine, Brand, Hill, Leone, Lubbock, and Najeshitan, were shown.

And then it ended.

It seems that this anime is just a normal hot-blooded youth anime.

The comments on the trailer were all filled with disbelief—

"What? The intelligence is false? Isn't this the work of the old thief Qingshan?"

"I thought there would be a sad death-knife trailer later, but there wasn't one?"

"Could it be that this time Qingshan the old thief is planning to transform and draw an orthodox hot-blooded youth comic?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

……

All I can say is that fans who have read Lin Qingshan’s comics simply don’t believe that Lin Qingshan’s works would be so pure and passionate.

Even Lin Qingshan's least heroic work, "Parasyte", arranged the deaths of Quan Ma and Jiano.

Comic fans also believe that this work was created when Lin Qingshan had calmed down and his condition had temporarily stabilized.

As for other comics...

Even the children's series "Kamen Rider Ryuki" can have a plot where everyone is BE, so what else do other works need to say?

However, the trailer of "Akame ga Kill" really unfolds in the same way as a passionate youth comic, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Absolutely... definitely an ambush!"

Fan Siwei thought so too, and he became extremely alert. Then he began to appreciate the plot of the trailer of "Kill! Red Eyes", and said, "But it seems that the setting and plot of this new show are quite interesting. The setting of the imperial weapon should be quite exciting."

Compared with the ghoul, which also has the theme of "food", the setting of "Teigu" is indeed more brilliant and more entertaining.

Therefore, at present, "Akame ga Kill" is more popular than "Mato Ghoul".

Of course, the only truly popular show is the second season of the "Chainsaw Man" animation.

It can be said that thousands of people are looking forward to the broadcast of the second season of the animation. Even in the following period of time, the second season of "Chainsaw Man" animation has become a hot search, which has once again aroused a wave of heat in the circle.

“I really want the second season to be aired soon.”

Fan Siwei muttered again.
