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

"Yes."

“What a pity.”

The three members of Kyoto Animation had the same thoughts. Takemoto Yasuhiro and Ishida Naomi immediately agreed with what Yamada Naoko said.

"pity?"

Being young and inexperienced, she can only judge a work based on its pictures and production. Ultimately, the young and immature Mochizuki Nanae narrowed her eyes in confusion and raised questions.

"Yeah, isn't that a pity?"

Naoko Yamada sighed again, and her expression seemed a little sad. She felt sad for "DARLING in the FRANXX" and for the super luxurious master team that produced this animation.

“A unique world view, mechas, battles, a fast pace, exciting fighting scenes, beauties, scenes full of sexual tension, beautiful girls transforming into mechas, and just the right development. The protagonist is destined to be special, and is suddenly favored by beautiful girls.

Everything is in line with the audience's taste, it is so pleasing, so popular, so passionate, so exciting, so kingly, so kingly that most of the audience likes it very much...

As an animator, these are a little hard for me to accept.”

"Can't accept it?"

Mochizuki Nanae asked again, and at this time, those who thought that Sato Yu could understand, Takemoto Yasuhiro, Ishida Naomi, and Yamada Naoko all looked in the direction of Sato Yu.

Sato You put down his arms and laughed before giving his answer.

“It’s somewhat disappointing.

So many famous masters gathered together, but in the end, they only produced such a masterpiece. "

ps: I recommend my friend Orange, who has a high-end original Qingri on Mao, and his character is very reliable.

Music is just an extension of reality, and the people who perform it are naturally not our Tamagotchis. So we accept your support ≠ I accept your confession, we accept your gifts ≠ I want to date you, we wear performance clothes to receive awards ≠ I want to marry you, please understand. "

During the award ceremony of a certain Red and White Song Contest, Miss Kurihara Yaon, a member of the famous band Mygo, was hiding in a cardboard box and giving a speech to express her gratitude for the award, accompanied by her good teammates:

"Although we can't be your cyber girlfriend, don't accept your confession, and won't agree to a fan in a tuxedo proposing to me, but no matter what, please continue to support mygo band in the future, give mygo band more gold coins, and contribute to the Cullinan of our dreams. I have always loved you the most."

"..."

Looking at the genius girl who dared to hide in a cardboard box and got sick, Nagasaki Motoyo, Shiina Tatsuki, Chihaya Aine and others narrowed their eyes unconsciously.

…Has the lead singer of his own band evolved to the point where humans cannot understand him?

……

All in all, this is a story about a somewhat neurotic girl with social phobia who joins hands with other girls to become legends in the industry and build the Crystal Palace.

“It’s still somewhat disappointing.”

Sato Yu and three people from Kyoto Animation gave this comment on the national team animation.

Having said that, it is actually because they are clear about the subsequent stories of the animations they produce and trust the quality of the finished films.

For other industry insiders, although it is a pity that the national team ultimately produced a mainstream work that lacks depth, and judging from the first episode onwards, it is unlikely to reach the level of works like EVA in the past, they are not overly optimistic about "Fate/Zero", which uses a whole episode of long-winded narration to tell the story.

After all, he is still a young director, and his skills in comedy animation, single-episode animation production, and script construction thinking are remarkable. However, when it comes to heavy-style long animation, he still can't grasp it, resulting in a slow and weird rhythm. This is the most mainstream opinion of Sato Yu in the circle at present.

In their view, Fate/Zero's loss to DARLING in the FRANXX is still a "foregone conclusion."

This is the case for everyone in the industry, and it is even more so for those viewers who only watch animation for entertainment, do not invest too much energy in analysis, and watch just for the fun of it.

For a time, all major forums were flooded with posts praising "DARLING in the FRANXX" and using "Fate/Zero" as a stepping stone. Even the "Fate/Zero" animation comment section and Pandia's official Twitter account were affected.

[That’s it, that’s it? ]

[I still had high hopes for you, but is the development of the cool story of "Don't despise the poor young man" going to end here? ]

[Will we win? We will! (laughs)]

All kinds of abstract memes are everywhere, both in the comment section and the official Twitter account. As the most direct victim of "bullet screen culture", Kota Totani is even more miserable.

"It's okay. It's not like I haven't played such a disadvantageous game before."

[You greet my biological mother right away. Is it because you don’t have a biological mother to teach you that you are a bastard and can only say such disgusting words filled with brain-depleted beauty? ]

"Victory or defeat is standard issue."

[If you defend your favorite anime creator, you are a loyal dog. Then what kind of dog are you who immediately ran over to bark for your father Masashi Umezawa? 】

"There are so many big guys on the other side, it's just that the first round was a little weak, it's not a big deal."

[I originally wanted to argue with you, but after thinking about it carefully, you already have cancer, so I can only obey you. ]

While talking on the phone with Sato Yu, his blood pressure soared and he typed frantically to confront the trolls in his private messages in the background. He protected his parents and attacked the other party for three generations. Totani Kota smiled and comforted the "loser" Sato Yu.

"Kota, why is your keyboard so noisy?"

"Ah, I'm playing a music game, busy striking out beautiful and melodious notes."

"Emmmm, this strength does sound quite beautiful."

Constantly confronting Masashi Umezawa was a good move in terms of increasing fame, but it did have a lot of unnecessary negative impact on the work's early reputation.

But things have come to this point, the life and death contract in the ring has been signed, and it is destined that in one of the two episodes, one will be completely trampled under the feet of the opponent before he can stop. The opponent's punches are swift and fierce, and Sato Yu has not yet entered the state. He is indeed exhausted from parrying and falls into a huge disadvantage at the start.

This trend intensified after the second episode was aired.

Airing at the same time, the ratings of "Fate/Zero" dropped by 1.5 points, while that of "DARLING in the FRANXX" rose by 3 points.

In line with the changes in ratings, the ratings and comments have become more polarized.

In the second episode of "DARLING in the FRANXX", the world view is further expanded with the plot. The conflict between the heroine 02 and Mei, who looks like a loser, becomes more prominent, and the conflicts between the children also emerge.

Through these contradictions, the uniqueness of the male protagonist [Guang] is further reflected. People either like him or envy him, which just reflects his excellence and fits the thinking of adolescent children, the main audience group of animation, and he is liked and sought after by them.

As a result, even though the pace of the second episode slowed down and the battle scenes were limited to a small part, the score of "DARLING in the FRANXX" still reached 9.6 points.

On the other hand, Fate/Zero...

[It’s been two episodes, and you’re still talking about your b setting! ]

[The last episode had such an exciting summoning of heroic spirits, I thought it was going to be great, but this episode had parent-child interactions, young children were tortured, and there was only a few battle scenes at the end. It was really disgusting]

[It's not bad in itself, but compared to "DARLING in the FRANXX", it's really a world of difference. 】

[No, Sato Yu, are you a prostitute? You can't do anything but stop, right?

The most exciting moment of the previous episode was cut off, and the dull daily life continued. This episode is the same. Just when it got a little exciting, the screen went black immediately. Damn, I have a suggestion for you. In the third episode, just go back to your old business of making funny animations. Maybe that way you can save this terrible project.]

Sato Yu still raised many questions in terms of audience psychology and market research.

The most crucial point is that he can no longer use the same tolerance he had when watching "Fate/Zero" in his previous life to treat the Sato version of "Fate/Zero" that he created now.

Without the original work as a foundation, without the high-selling "Kara no Kyoukai" to lay out the worldview for the audience, and without a previous work like "Fate/stay night" to give the audience high expectations and build up their mental strength, "Fate/Zero" was taken out alone, and the lengthy two-episode setting-up did indeed cause too much disgust.

This was a mistake on Sato Yuu's part, especially when there was a contrasting animation, which only intensified the audience's inner disgust.

Also with twisted elements, the cutouts of "DARLING in the FRANXX" show the male lead kissing the female lead 02 [mutual understanding], and the male lead kissing the second female lead Berry [unable to link].

In "Fate/Zero", Illya is playing with her father, Toosaka Rin is acting coquettishly in front of adults, and then there is a picture of Sakura suffering in the basement being drilled by bugs.

Looking at the comparison pictures made by netizens and sent to him by Toya Kota with great concern, even Sato Yu himself smacked his lips and sighed to himself, Oh no...Urobuchi, mushrooms are really nothing.

The contrast is so sharp that the audience's attitude is naturally easy to understand. Sato Yu can only smile bitterly and leave all the explanations to time and to subsequent episodes.

But since they can't see the overall situation, and can't see the subsequent plot of "Fate/Zero" immediately, how can the audience let it go? They can only pursue "DARLING in the FRANXX" even more.

【8.4%：2%】

Animation is a small category after all. Even in Japan, where the two-dimensional culture is popular, it still does not get much attention. Compared with popular TV dramas that can easily get ratings of more than 10 or 20 percent, today, anime can only get a 10 percent rating at best.

Under such circumstances, "DARLING in the FRANXX" was able to top the list with an audience rating of 8.4%, which can truly be called the light of animation.

However, the show was broadcasted at the same time and its audience rating was completely overshadowed by it. From the 6.3% in the first episode, it has been declining all the way to only 2% now, which has been completely crushed by DARLING in the FRANXX.

At this point, the winner has "already" been decided, and he would not miss this great opportunity to mock Sato Yu. In the past six months or so, he had been in an absolute disadvantage, and had been mocked by netizens for countless times. Umezawa Masashi, who had been holding back his anger, once again threw away his useless demeanor as a senior and directly tweeted a mockery.

He didn't say much, just a comparison of ratings, but he showed his complacency to the fullest, and his mocking intention was known to everyone, so much so that even the senior artist in the same production team as him tweeted and drew a simple draft of the character without eyes, saying that he "couldn't bear to look at it".

But no matter how people in the industry view Masashi Umezawa's repeated embarrassment of a junior and his use of their animation "DARLING in the FRANXX" as a tool of attack, they should be dissatisfied.

A rare outlet for emotional venting appeared, and the audience, who had been holding back their dissatisfaction in real life, immediately pounced on it like locusts to bite it, and so many people rushed to the tower that Pandia’s official Twitter account was forced to close the comments. Even Kyoto Animation’s headquarters, which was far away in Kyoto, was abused and attacked by netizens and was in great pain.

For a time, the situation was so serious that even comments like "If it really doesn't work, just cut "Fate/Zero" in half" were rampant.

Such a completely unfavorable public opinion situation is really frightening. Sato Yu, who is serving as the animation supervisor for the 19th episode, could clearly find that the quality of several people's drawing cards had seriously declined for several days, forcing him to correct it himself.

Soon, this atmosphere spread, and even Qiong in the hospital couldn't help but comfort him a little.

“I have watched Fate/Zero several times in the past few days, and I found that there are so many details hidden in it. The more I watch, the more I feel that my brother is very attentive and has poured too much ingenuity into the animation. As the saying goes, long-term accumulation will lead to a burst of foreshadowing, and it will definitely be quite brilliant when it is recovered.

In comparison, the movie that everyone is praising, DARLING in the FRANXX, is just...”

In the ward, Qiong listed a lot of shortcomings of the national team animation, even pointing out that a group of senior original artists and industry celebrities only produced orthodox works that were ultimately disappointing. Sato Yuu asked her after discovering some clues.

"At the end of the third episode, did the hero and heroine board the Strelitzia together?"

"This... this, yes! That's why..."

In the third episode, another male character [Man] boards the Strelitzia.

The truth of Qiong's words was immediately tested, and Sato You rubbed her head with amusement.

"You're just bragging here, but you haven't even seen Qiong yet."

"Humph, who wants to see the work of that bastard old man?"

In order to cheer him up, Qiong tried hard to find the advantages of "Fate/Zero" and collected negative reviews of "DARLING in the FRANXX" on the Internet and told them to him.

As for the animation, she hates it. No matter how much netizens praise it, Qiong still hasn't watched it at all.

Looking at Qiong, whose face turned red and who was gasping for breath after her lie was exposed, Sato Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Qiong's support is the greatest support for my brother. Don't worry, your dear Onii-chan is very strong and will not be defeated by such a setback. Besides, it's just a loss in ratings."

On the Internet, only a minority of people speak out. After all, 20% of the people make 80% of the voices. All the condemnations and ridicules seem to be loud and powerful, but in fact they are just a small number of people talking to themselves.

Beyond that, the data always speaks for itself.

8.4%:2%

Judging from the ratings, it seems that Sato Yu suffered a great defeat, but hidden underneath, and not being noticed by people, is the number of views on the website. The number of views of "Fate/Zero" is even higher than that of "DARLING in the FRANXX".

Of course, most of this is because everyone watched "DARLING in the FRANXX" on live TV, but more of it is because everyone has never given up their expectations for "Fate/Zero".

No matter how much people curse or criticize, the show of first choice during the live broadcast on TV is "DARLING in the FRANXX", and they also praise "DARLING in the FRANXX". But after watching it, praising it, cursing it, and criticizing it, everyone still runs to the video website in dejection to watch the latest episode of "Fate/Zero".

A battle royale between seven pairs of masters and servants, the summoning of heroic spirits, a battle of wits between masters, and a duel between heroic spirits...

King Arthur is actually a girl? How can Illya be so cute with white hair and red eyes? Kiritsugu, that hollow-eyed man, actually has such a gentle side!

In addition, what will be the ending of the girl Sakura, will the Caster group that harmed the child be brought to justice, and who is the showy Gilgamesh who stood on the roof and threw a gorgeous treasure at the assassin?

And, Saber is so handsome in a suit, and he and the lady have a good CP feeling. In the warehouse, the two riders have already started fighting. What kind of shocking fighting scene will Pandia, no, to be exact, Sato Yuu, perform in this crucial first battle?

It’s slow, but there are too many expectations.

Compared to "DARLING in the FRANXX", which adopts the most pleasing approach, wrapping up part of the story in each episode to satisfy the audience, "Fate/Zero" ends at the climax of each episode, leaving hooks to whet the audience's appetite.

Such despicable methods learned from the Qidian Fragmentation Class naturally aroused the anger of the audience, but if you look closely, you will definitely find that all the criticisms of the audience were on the point, which was completely different from Qiong's. After watching the show, they criticized the show's repeated inaction based on the plot.

If you look more closely and click on the historical barrage records and historical comment records of the trolls, you will find that more than 70% of them are actually Sato Yu's white pieces.

Yes, those who are currently criticizing Sato Yu and "Fate/Zero" are basically all idiots!

If we say that after the first and second episodes, the audience were venting their emotions, then after the third episode, it was actually a group of "resentful women" whose sexual desires were aroused but not satisfied, saying sweet words to their favorite work.

[You damned bastard, every time you come, you feel like... can't you last a little longer? ]

Probably, that's how it feels.

Of course, Sato Yu would not tell such a somewhat embarrassing topic to his innocent sister, Qiong, who was pure and innocent, had not yet opened her eyes to love and had no idea of ​​love at all. Sato Yu kept it deep in his heart and only comforted Qiong and told her more truths in a playful way.

"Never be fooled by superficial words. There are many arrogant people in this world."

It is still somewhat disappointing, with a national team of higher level doing something conservative that ordinary production teams can accomplish. It can definitely guarantee the lower limit but not have too high an upper limit, and it is a kingly work that speeds up the pace in the early stage and tries hard to cater to the audience.

But what is not disappointing is that the young company Pandia and the remnants of Kyoto Animation, which are considered to be of insufficient quality and led by the young boy Sato Yu, are full of new artists. They are making a steady rhythm like an old dog, teasing the audience blindly and attracting a lot of criticism, but it is dark and heavy, but full of details, and the epic of heroes that continues to accumulate power in the steady narrative...

Seven groups of masters and servants and seven or even more plot lines are told in an orderly manner. The personalities of each group and each person are being shaped, revealed and enriched.

A wonderful and interesting worldview, a steady plot development in which anyone can sense that an undercurrent is surging and some strong force is accumulating.
