How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

Finally, as the last spell was chanted with increasing passion, the summoning of the heroic spirit was completed.

The first to appear were Waver's side. In front of the thin young man who was sitting on the ground with his magic power drained away, a giant man in a red cloak stepped out, with an imposing manner. Next came Matou Kariya, a pitch-black, ominous knight figure who let out a roar.

[We won! We won this war!]

Then came Tōsaka Tokiomi, who thought he was safe and had truly summoned his big daddy. In front of him, a handsome, rebellious blond man wearing golden armor stood silently.

And in the end, it is clearly an ensemble drama, but Kiritsugu Emiya is the one who seems to have the most protagonist temperament and stands out the most.

Unlike everyone else who thought they were safe, he, who was the most prepared and seemed to be at ease, seemed to have an unexpected summons.

【This is......】

There was outrage in the midst of suspicion. What had happened? Without waiting for the audience to find out what was going on, a clear, dignified female voice rang out, with just one word.

[Let me ask you, are you my master? ]

Yin Kai, the female knight in a blue dress and blonde hair, who stands tall in a sea of ​​blood and corpses yet looks desolate and sad in the promotional poster, asks the question sternly.

Wow, so cool! So cool, this woman, this question... The epic feeling comes to me, and my middle school heart is also beating at this moment.

Perhaps, tonight he was going to betray his girlfriend Kumiko Aoki, and he had to think about this woman, and fall asleep with the face of this female knight replaying in his mind and dreams.

His heart was pounding, Oya Hideki thought so.

What will the next story be like? The heroic spirits are summoned, then they collide, then they fight, then the war begins, and then the final winner is decided, the Holy Grail is won, and each other's ambitions, sad wishes, and true inner wishes are realized!

Come on, fight!

In his heart, Oya Hideki called out and looked forward to it, but what greeted him was...

[Episode 1: Summoning Heroic Spirits]

But it was a black curtain, the end of an episode, and the story came to an abrupt end at its climax.

He stared at the ED screen that suddenly appeared for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. No matter how much he admired Sato Yu, and was grateful for the reunion and support he received from the "5 Centimeters per Second" manga, Ooya Hideki couldn't help but curse at this time.

"Sato Yuu, you have no heart!!!"

Hu~Hu~After shouting angrily, Oya Hideki gasped for breath. Feeling his girlfriend's gentle patting on his back, he felt better and couldn't help but ask.

"Kumiko, what do you think?"

"Ah? Ah..."

As if in a trance, Kumiko Aoki was unable to react when suddenly asked. The epic appearance of the blonde female swordsman, her heroic face and stern questions were still echoing in her mind, unable to fade away for a long time.

In the end, she thought of the bugs again, and Sakura who was tortured and bruised all over. She pursed her lips and snorted.

"It's okay. Anyway, I didn't fall asleep."

No matter how beautiful the picture is, it cannot compare to the sympathy that arises from the suffering of a petite girl. This is a special emotion of girls. Oya Hideki failed to understand it and just thought that his girlfriend was bored and watched the whole time for him.

With gratitude in his heart, he wanted to sigh but finally held it back.

Feeling regretful that he might have to watch the next episodes alone, Oya Hideki suddenly had an idea and opened his phone again. He clicked on the live broadcast room of the up-loader [动漫下手公太], wanting to read the comments and see if there were people who thought the anime was good as he did, with a first-rate rhythm and more depth, and was extremely cool.

However......

[That’s it, that’s it? ]

【I don’t think so. 】

【Not as good as the national team. 】

When I opened the live broadcast room, the screen was filled with such vicious words.

ps: recommend an interesting orange book

Introduction: "Yulin, go get rid of the hero!"

"Hey! Am I fighting a hero? Is that true?

At first, when the weakest v1 succubus heard the Demon King asking her to get rid of the strongest hero, she thought the Demon King had gone completely crazy because of the rule that the hero would eventually defeat the Demon King.

However, the Demon King was more clear-headed than anyone else: "I know there is no way to win! The corpses of countless former Demon Kings have proven that there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. So! If you want to defeat the hero, you have to kill him and destroy his heart!

So, I want you to find the hero, and then do everything you can to help her and love her, and when she is completely unable to extricate herself from you, betray her!

Tell her, "I'm sorry, brave man, getting close to you, helping you, and falling in love with you are all just the Demon King's mission."

This will cause the hero's heart to collapse and he will be defeated without a fight!"

So, Yu Lin was forced to voluntarily go undercover in the human world, pretending to be a princess and marrying a brave man, becoming an alien version of Daji who brought disaster to the brave man.

But many years later, the Demon King received an unbelievable message: "I'm sorry, Master Demon, I'm already in the form of a hero. Yanxi transfer ① group: 837783853

"How can a lv1 succubus become a hero? No, no, no" skirt~

Volume 152: Chapter Chapter . Perfect, yet so disappointing

Totani Kota is in a bad mood right now.

【Not as good as the national team】

[Sato Yuu is really brave to do this inch stop]

[Don’t bully the elderly because they are poor now]

[Toya Kota, don't be silent, you are the anchor, speak up, speak up, continue to be your loyal dog and bark for your master, okay? ]

Forty-six minutes later, the first episode of "Fate/Zero" was finally broadcast. In the last two minutes of the ED scene, the broadcast room completely collapsed.

It started from around the 20-minute mark, after the national team animation was finished. Many people who had watched it over there immediately ran over here to brag about how good "DARLING in the FRANXX" was, how explosive it was, and how manly and romantic it was.

Among those who spoke, there were the funny people, the stubborn black players, and the white player who has always been Sato Yu.

He just chose to watch that side first, and was captivated by the standard of the national team's animation and expressed his emotions. The animation here is not finished yet, so let them quarrel and make a fuss. He is the anchor, he has to be tolerant and patient.

But if you haven't watched the first twenty minutes, and haven't seen many explanations about the Holy Grail, Servants, Summoning Heroic Spirits, and magicians, and don't know anything about them, how can you fully appreciate the story?

Many people were asking what was going on with the bugs, and complaining that the plot was bland and they had no patience to continue watching it. They described it as boring, and they were unable to understand the internal logic of the characters' actions and the emotional transformation. For a while, the barrage environment was filled with chaos.

He couldn't stand it, nor could he tolerate the comments of those viewers who made subjective assumptions and only cared about venting their emotions without being able to concentrate on the story. Naturally, as the high priest of the Sato Cult, he came on stage and criticized them.

While having a fierce confrontation with the audience, he was called a clown and was affecting the viewing experience of ordinary viewers. Seeing the number of viewers of the live broadcast continuing to decrease and many words of advice appearing in the barrage, Kota Totani had no choice but to give up.

I returned to watching the anime seriously and commenting on it from time to time. In the last ten minutes, I suppressed my anger and ignored the haters and the people playing the opposite roles. My viewing experience was indeed improved.

Just keep watching and you'll see that all the groundwork is in place, you'll see the four masters summoning Heroic Spirits at the same time, and you'll be excited listening to the second-year yet strangely exciting spells.

Watching the emperor descend, watching the manic knights roar, watching the unruly king looking down upon the living beings, and seeing the noble girl utter the words "Let me ask, are you my master?", Totani Kota's heart was filled with emotion.

However, this surge of emotion only lasted for a few seconds, followed by a black screen and the ED.

The extended version, the whole episode is 46 minutes long, but it is all dialogues between characters and the setting of the world view. It is before the war...and it doesn't even create the tense atmosphere before the war.

After 45 minutes of preparation and the last minute of calling, it was finally about to ignite, but when I realized that the interesting part was about to come, it stopped, it came to an abrupt end, causing the rising emotions to suddenly fall, the highs and lows changed in an instant, and in the end, what was left was still a low tide...

What did I watch for more than 40 minutes?

Worldview? Very interesting, but animation is not a set of settings, and no matter how interesting the worldview is, it is impossible for people to really find it interesting.

What about the core of the characters? This aspect is OK. All the characters that appear have their own characteristics and can be said to be flesh and blood. In particular, the miserable relationship between Matou Kariya and Matou Sakura, which depends on each other but is alienated, is even more heart-wrenching.

However, the story is not truly unfolded, and only the awareness is seen without seeing the words and actions, so the characters are still empty after all.

What about the graphics? Sato Yuu's extraordinary fighting scenes, graphics that Kyoto is proud of!

In this regard, people from Kyoto are the main force. Although the style has changed from cute to realistic, the overall portrayal is dark and heavy, but it still shows good results. There is no collapsed picture in the whole article, and the quality is very stable. However, at the same time, there are almost no outstanding pictures.

The scene where the little girl Toosaka Rin appears is bright in picture and lively in movements, showing the strength of the production team. The other places are the most stable and simple pictures, which make people feel very solid, but just solid.

How to praise?

Praising this 45-minute literary drama, even though it uses a variety of narrative methods, time and space jump constantly, and the narrative subject jumps constantly, it still only makes the world setting not so boring, and makes people barely able to watch it?

Or should we praise its stable quality, when the film remains the same from beginning to end with almost no outstanding scenes, or when it is cut off at the climax, causing the audience to throw cups and curse, feeling angry?

If it weren't for the incident with Masashi Umezawa, if it wasn't benchmarked against national team animations, and if it wasn't competing with "DARLING in the FRANXX", Kouta Totani would still be able to talk about the first episode of "Fate/Zero" with stable quality, and he would still be able to give it a few compliments. But now, looking at the screen full of sarcastic comments, he is really speechless.

In terms of story, setting, characters, and development, "Fate/Zero" is not bad, but sometimes, facing the best, not being bad is a sin.

Even though he had not watched "DARLING in the FRANXX", just by reading the comments on the screen, Kota Totani already had an idea of ​​the quality of the first episodes of both series.

So he could only silently endure the insults from the barrage, and then continue to perform his duties as an up master, opening the national team animation amid a barrage of comments like [Look at the clown] and [Look at the national team, Sato Yu's loyal dog].

When being beaten, one must stand at attention. Although he has already known the outcome in his mind, he will not back down.

Then, for the next twenty minutes, his mind was shaken by the rapid development of the first episode of "DARLING in the FRANXX". Looking at the exclamations of many viewers who had watched the first episode of "Fate/Zero" here and then continued to watch other animations, as well as various comments such as "This one is indeed better" and "It's so good", Totani Kota had a complicated expression.

Even though he supports Sato Yu, he can't deceive himself. After watching the first episodes of both, he has to say that "DARLING in the FRANXX" is better, much better.

Dragon, lava energy, FRANXX, male, female, pairing, plantation, and children in captivity, a wise man called "Dad" and an "adult" who is obviously different from the children, and a rumor about the female 02 consuming the male.

Equally novel, and even more intriguing, the worldview of "DARLING in the FRANXX" is not simple, and it is obvious that there are quite a lot of strange things, which makes people vaguely feel that something is wrong, and then look forward to the moment when the worldview is fully unfolded.

As for the equally complex world view setting, compared to Sato Yu's "honesty", "DARLING in the FRANXX" only spends a few minutes to tell the story, giving part of it and hiding more. It not only does not make people feel bored, it does not destroy the viewing experience, but makes people more excited.

It focuses more on telling the story than setting.

The film depicts the male protagonist who was placed with high hopes but failed to connect with his partner and was unable to board FRANXX. From the beginning, the production team guides the audience to accumulate dissatisfaction.

What a miserable hero, and such a depressing development.

However, in such a low opening, the childhood sweetheart Mei's partiality, the various reactions of several boys who were happy, worried, and relieved when they saw him in trouble, the crying of the female Naomi who was implicated in the failure, and the special treatment of the most special heroine 02...

The male protagonist is special, and the audience can easily understand this crucial point through the character's various actions, and naturally develop strong expectations in their hearts.

Then, the moment this core concept is completely implanted in the hearts of the audience, the rhythm suddenly speeds up and climbs!

The vicious enemy called Long is attacking, and the poor girl Naomi, who is loved by the audience, is in danger. The heroine 02 drives a beast-like mecha to attack, but the vitality of Xiongshi, who is driving with her, is sucked out during the battle, and the situation is precarious.

At this time, as if it was destined, the female host mecha Strelitzia was knocked away by the dragon and landed exactly where the male protagonist was, leaving behind the original male pilot who had been sucked dry, and the failed, seemingly useless but special male protagonist boarded the mecha.

They confessed their feelings to each other, and it didn't matter if they died. They wanted to drive the mecha, protect everyone, and complete the mission. The miracle that one person couldn't achieve was created by the two of them together. A kiss conveyed their feelings, and the mecha showed its true form, showing Carol Lauder's big eyes, turning into a beautiful girl mecha, and handsomely destroying the enemy...

The failed protagonist, do not despise the young man because he is poor, the destined stage, the passionate kiss, the sexual tension of the picture, the call of darling that melts one's bones, there is also the romance of men, the cute and handsome mecha of beautiful girls, and the cool battle paintings.

There are many elements that tease the audience's emotions, throwing out expectations → accumulating emotions → explosive release. In just twenty minutes, "DARLING in the FRANXX" completes such a thrilling process.

There is no need for the so-called three-episode rule. With just one episode, "DARLING in the FRANXX" is able to portray a full story that other animations may not be able to achieve in three episodes. It can be said to be a "textbook-level first episode rhythm."

On the other hand, Fate/Zero is an excellent work, but it is also impossible to ignore it and make people deceive themselves...

I can only admit it, and I have to admit it.

“The national team animation is really great.”

In the Pandia conference room, after watching the first episode of "DARLING in the FRANXX" and listening to the ED song, in the silence of the room, Sato Yu expressed his sincere emotion.

Even though he was an enemy, one of the opponents in the ring, Sato Yuya was not stingy with his praise for the strong performance of his enemy and opponent.

It seems that, because of his interference, the national team animation in this world is even better than in the previous life.

“Excellent indeed.”

“It was a top performance.”

"This is probably the best first episode in recent years."

Starting with Sato Yuu, everyone in the conference room started the discussion and were generous with their praise, expressing their admiration for the pace of the first episode of "DARLING in the FRANXX".

As far as the first episode is concerned, everyone has already admitted their failure.

However, this is also a good thing. Seeing everyone happily discussing it, Nanae Mochizuki, the JK president who has bet all her dreams on this new anime, showed a charming smile.

After watching such an excellent first episode of "DARLING in the FRANXX", everyone was so happy and immediately admitted that the first episode of "Fate/Zero" was indeed incomparable to it. But even so, everyone was laughing, and laughing so easily.

It’s just the first episode, they won’t lose in the sequel!

Facing an extremely powerful enemy, everyone thought this in their hearts and was extremely confident that this was not arrogance or unfounded optimism, but simply proved everyone's confidence in their own work.

The opponent is very strong, but we are not bad either. We just lost one round unfortunately. The future outcome is still unknown.

Even if they really lost in the end, they had no regrets. In everyone's mind, "Fate/Zero" is such a work.

"After all, it is the result of the polishing of many masters. The subject matter and the requirements for the development of the story are also different. DARLING in the FRANXX is indeed perfect and is indeed much more pleasing than ours."

Nodding, Yasuhiro Takemoto, an animator from Kyoto Animation, exclaimed in admiration. On the other side, Naomi Ishida also nodded and echoed:

"It's a perfect work of royal style."

However, as they praised, they all frowned slightly, especially Yamada Naoko, who was sitting at the back and had not said a word since the animation ended. She sighed and showed regret.

“It’s a bit of a pity.”
