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

Turning the notebook to Sato Yu to show him the netizens' comments, Yamada Naoko's face was full of confusion.

The same doubt also appeared on Sato Yu's face. He spread his hands and could only say.

"I don't make it either."

"How should I put it? Maybe everyone trusts Satou too much."

Also paying attention to the comments on the forum, Mochizuki Nanae gave an uncertain answer.

She attributed the current phenomenon to the audience's strong trust in Sato Yu.

They have too much faith in Sato Yu, the "God of Animation". Even though they have seen the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" which is too mediocre compared to its production team, and even though they have seen the evidence, they will not think that Sato Yu has performed poorly or has run out of ideas.

As for the mediocrity of the first episode, they now just think that Sato Yu is just pretending, using mediocrity to confuse them into letting down their guard, and then in the subsequent episodes he will give them a heavy blow, a series of heavy blows.

Sato Yu, hasn't this always been the way you do it?

Although this is true,...

"Isn't this completely untrue?"

Instead of being happy about the extremely high reviews and the audience's expectations, Sato Yu was beating his chest and stamping his feet over the fact that he failed to deceive anyone.

"Pfft~ You've been cheating everyone. Now everyone knows your temper as a top scammer and won't be fooled again."

"Especially since our production team is so good and our seniors have expressed their confidence in the series on social media, people will be less likely to be fooled."

“When they were making DARLING in the FRANXX, they also expressed great confidence?”

"That's different. The supervisor this time is not Masashi Umezawa, but you, Sato."

Compared to Sato Yu who was depressed about the current situation, the two bystanders, Yamada Naoko and Mochizuki Nanae, were able to better understand the audience's thoughts. They all gloated over the fact that Sato Yu's trick was exposed and he could no longer deceive anyone.

Especially Mochizuki Nanae, she laughed the happiest.

After all, this represents everyone's affirmation and trust in Sato Yu's ability. Seeing that so many people in the forum still support Sato Yu, Mochizuki Nanae is also very happy for Sato Yu.

But Sato Yu still sighed.

The basis of his plan is to harvest contrasting emotions. Now that everyone is not disappointed at all, the efficiency of harvesting fame points may be reduced a lot.

but it does not matter.

"Luckily I didn't just pretend for one episode!"

With a gleam in his eyes, he comforted himself. Even though the audience insulted him, the "masochistic" Sato Yu was still determined to win.

With such determination, time passed slowly and finally it was the second Sunday of the week, the date when the second episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" would be broadcast.

Due to the transfer of mascot Yanxi①Group: 837783853

During this period, the world view setting is basically explained, the core reasons why Sayaka Miki became a magical girl are also laid out, the conflict between Mami Tomoe and the transfer student magical girl Homura Akemi escalates a bit, and there are two eye-catching battles in the whole episode. The collage performance technique reflects a unique tension, making the battle extremely eye-catching.

And then it was over. The animation's ratings in the second week were 15.3%, which was only a 0.8% drop from the much-anticipated first week. The audience was still full of confidence and expectations for the animation, but Sato Yu once again came up with a mediocre second episode to "fool" the audience.

To be fair, with the support of the superb painting skills of a group of senior painters in the industry, the first two episodes of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" have superb painting quality, exquisite and pleasing pictures, steady performance rhythm and no mistakes, and even if the plot is not compact, it is at least standard...

Using normal judging criteria, it should be able to rank among the top few in the first quarter. If it is a quarter when the overall quality of animation is relatively worrying, it is understandable that it is ranked first.

But such judging criteria do not apply to the national team, let alone Sato Yu.

He should have done better, but now he is not doing well enough, which is a sin.

“It’s already two episodes, but I still haven’t seen any eye-opening scenes. Of course, the painting and battle scenes are excellent and the viewing experience is overwhelming, but the plot is too ordinary and clichéd.

If this continues, I may have to wait until the whole series is finished before watching it together. After all, the second season of the TV series "Criminal Defense Lawyer" in the same time slot is also very good. It's a pity that I can't watch the live broadcast there."

Last week, she was full of confidence and expectations for Sato Yu. However, after watching the second episode, perhaps realizing that she had too high expectations of Sato Yu, Kumiko Oya regretfully expressed to her husband Hideki Oya that she wanted to watch the TV series live.

Sato Yu's die-hard fans all say that she reunited with her first love because of "5 Centimeters per Second", and the trust crisis on the forum has become even more serious.

Although there are still many people who still believe in Sato Yu, or say that "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is already very good now and we should not disparage it just because it does not meet our expectations, the wave of pessimistic comments has indeed increased a lot.

[If you think about it carefully, it is indeed difficult, or impossible for anyone to guarantee that each of his works is full of highlights and can be guaranteed to become a phenomenal work. This time, Sato Yu may have performed poorly, or perhaps, "Fate/Zero" is actually his exceptional performance.

But no matter which side, there is no outstanding highlight after two episodes, so we can lower our expectations and treat "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" as an ordinary well-made animation. 】

In the forum, such comments received a lot of likes and were even featured by the moderator and posted on the homepage.

In this way, another week passed, and time soon came to the Sunday of the third week.

"The three-episode rule, you have to be patient and watch the third episode before making a real judgment."

The ratings for the first and second episodes both exceeded 15%, with the difference being less than 1%. But how much ratings can be saved for the third episode?

Statistics have not been released yet, so we can only estimate, but we can clearly see from the background of the live broadcast that the number of viewers watching the live broadcast this time is only half of that of the second episode, with just over 50,000 people. While the live broadcast was going on, knowing that the ratings for this week would probably be cut in half, UP host Kota Totani kept calming the audience.

But even so, he could see the audience numbers continue to drop as the story continued to unfold in a dull manner.

After all, it is unreasonable that a girl-oriented anime, a light yuri anime, and a magical girl anime can gain such a level of attention and expectations.

Many viewers actually don’t like this type of animation, but they focus on and watch this show because of Sato Yu’s fame and the gimmick of the national team gathering together.

The first episode was mediocre, because Sato Yu had a criminal record and everyone thought he was cheating, but the second episode was still mediocre, which really discouraged a large number of viewers who were not interested in the subject matter or who just came to join in the fun.

Of course, being able to have nearly 50,000 people watching an animation together in the live broadcast room of an up master like him is already far more popular than other animations, but if there is no explosive point in the third episode, and it is completely confirmed that Sato Yu has not actually made another phenomenal work, then...

Thinking of this, and looking at the various comments of abandonment such as "Gone", "Boring", and "It ultimately failed to live up to expectations" that kept flashing on the barrage, even Totani Kota began to feel anxious.

“Even though it doesn’t have the unique setting and twists and turns of Fate/Zero, Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an excellent work in terms of production and the plot is flawless. Are you being too harsh?”

[It’s indeed harsh, but he is Sato Yuu, and everyone’s expectations of him are always more than this. 】

[The work is not bad, but it is indeed not to our taste. We came here because of the chef Sato Yuu's cooking. Now that the taste of his food is not good, it is natural that some people leave. ]

[You're talking bullshit. It was Sato Yu who gathered the national team. It was him who formed the Galaxy Battleship and aimed at the three major awards. He said it with such confidence and created such a big momentum, but he only produced this kind of animation that is excellent, but it is not even close to the corner of the phenomenal work. It is obvious that he is wrong. 】

[Speaking up for Sato Yuu? The ones who are really wronged are us, the audience, who had extremely high expectations for the animation, but were ultimately let down. ]

Sometimes, doing nothing is a mistake.

The third episode of the animation is playing, the rhythm is still as steady, the plot has ups and downs but the amplitude is not big enough, everything is progressing slowly within the scope that the audience can predict.

Looking at the barrage, Totani Kota wanted to defend Sato Yu, but he was left speechless by the barrage of legitimate accusations.

Yes, the momentum was created by Sato Yu himself. He should produce works that meet people's expectations to be considered qualified. However, the current state of the animation series can hardly reach the level of a masterpiece. It is just a good or excellent work. It is really difficult to satisfy the audience whose appetite has been whetted but not satisfied.

Hey, what happened to Sato Yuu? Has he really run out of ideas? Or have they really overestimated this young man?

Yes, no matter how talented he is, he is just a 21-year-old young man.

Just as I was thinking this, the picture changed and suddenly became terrifying.

[No longer afraid]

【Solve you! Tiro Finale! 】

Raising the cannon she made of ribbons, the powerful, reliable and perfect magical girl senior Mami Tomoe fired the cannonballs to tie up the strange witch in front of her.

Now this exciting battle should be coming to an end, and the relationship between the senior and the protagonists Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki will be further developed. The next step is to recruit the transfer student, magical girl Akemi... Homura, who seems to be a villain but definitely has her own difficulties and will eventually stand on the same front with everyone.

Totani Kouta had organized the words in his mind, but he had no room to speak them out loud.

"Senior?"

Tied up with ribbons, the witch is definitely going to die next. The audience all think so, and Mami in the play probably thinks so too.

However, the witch was indeed an extremely strange and terrifying monster. She was tied up and was about to be destroyed after the next bombardment. Before that, the witch's head suddenly stretched out and came in front of Mami in an instant.

Just as she let out a cry of surprise and before she could react, the witch opened her bloody mouth with a terrifying smile on her face and swallowed Mami's head in one bite.

In an instant, the barrage of comments that originally filled the screen paused for a moment and was almost cleared. Everyone was caught off guard by this abrupt turn.

Everything was fine, singing and dancing with the juniors to fight a magical girl, and in the blink of an eye, this... this is gone?

This, this, this is too sudden!

No, really? Magical girl themes are really dead!!!

【what? 】

After a brief pause, many comments expressing shock appeared on the screen, however, this was not the largest proportion of comments.

Instead of exclaiming, more people...

"exactly!"

He slammed the table excitedly, showing no sign of being frightened by the scene before him, nor any intention of mourning for his senior. Totani Kota stood up excitedly, dancing and shouting loudly.

"That's right, brother! This is the taste!"

Volume 177: Chapter Chapter . Best audience feedback

"what?"

At the same time, when the reliable senior sister Tomoe Asami turned around, the audience was extremely surprised and the proportion of people who exclaimed "Ah?" was not the largest. Many people were indeed surprised by this, but besides being surprised, other emotions emerged in their hearts that should not have arisen at this time.

But at least, while watching Totani Kota's live broadcast simultaneously, Sato Yu, the director and creator of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", expressed great surprise.

Although it cannot be said that the film was made just for the vinegar-wrapped dumplings of the senior sister who turned around, it was indeed to make this segment explosive enough and bring enough impact to the audience, so two episodes of mediocre daily life were specially prepared to numb the audience and give them a fatal blow at their most relaxed moment.

No creator can give up watching the barrage reactions in real time at this moment, and appreciating their defense-breaking looks, screaming and angry moments of joy. This was true for the old Xu in his previous life, and it is also true for Sato Yuya now.

Therefore, fearing that his shameful appearance of showing a happy smile in response to the barrage would be seen by Qiong, and then being disliked by Qiong, who was also shocked, confused and even frightened by the senior's U-turn, and being accused of being heartless, Sato Yu even reluctantly gave up the opportunity to watch the show with her in the hospital, and instead stayed at home to watch Totani Kota's live broadcast, just to enjoy this beautiful scene.

In his expectation, the audience would be shocked at first, with the screen full of comments such as "Huh?", "Fuck!", and "No way?" expressing shock.

Then there was disbelief——[What happened? ].

And then, finally, when they realize that this is the killer move that Sato Yu has been preparing for, and this killer move is so despicable and terrifying, everyone will go crazy and curse him crazily, and post a lot of [Sato Yu, you deserve to die!!!]

Although he is not a masochist, he completely deconstructs the magical girl theme and subverts its light-hearted and warm core. As a creator who has accomplished this great feat, Sato Yuu is indeed looking forward to the audience's mad abuse of him.

The more you insult and curse him, the happier he becomes and the brighter the smile on his face becomes.

But at this moment, what exactly is this?

So true?

And you even jump up and down and shout [It’s just right]?

Sato Yuu really couldn't handle Totani Kota's reaction.

It seems that compared to fear, sadness, and anger, Totani Kota's mood at this moment is mostly happy and joyful. As a viewer, he actually felt the joy from the bottom of his heart in this picture and scene just like him, the creator, and was deeply obsessed with it?

No, how could this be possible? How could such a perverted, anti-human and anti-personality UP host be live here?

Sato Yu cursed in his heart as he failed to see the fun he had expected. What made him even more "destroyed" was that not only Totani Kota, but a considerable number of the audience also felt happy, and were singing and dancing in the barrage and celebrating.

In this situation, there was truly no moment of mourning for the death of the senior, and the audience who rushed to the battlefield were all smiling happily.

"It happens suddenly, tell me if it's explosive enough!

To be honest, I have thought of too many possible ways for Sato Yu to detonate the daily foreshadowing in the early stages, and I have also seen many speculations on the Internet, but I was really shocked when I saw this!

It's a magical girl show that spreads love and justice, promotes love and hope. Sato Yu actually dares to continue the "love and hope" he advocates, and suddenly causes the senior to turn around and die.

Maya, you are worthy of being Sato Yuu, you have lived up to our expectations. Now, the plot is really going to be interesting. "

Sato Yuu could feel the heartfelt joy in Totani Kota's words in the live broadcast room, and could also clearly see countless comments of approval rolling across the screen. Taking it all in, Sato Yu was really dumbfounded.

It was also because he did not start the live broadcast to watch the anime, otherwise, the one who would be embarrassed at this moment and become a part of the viewing experience would be him, the "Senshi of Love".

No, isn't it that the audiences of this generation are so bold, have such low empathy, and have such curious tastes in what they watch?

Cry, scold him, curse him! ?

How could it be so calm... Well, it's not calm at all, you can tell they were also shocked, but... how could they be so shocked yet happily accept this matter?

Could it be that after watching "Fate/Zero", the audience has also been infected with the pleasure virus of Father Mapo, and all of them have become people of fun and joy monsters? Could it be that after being bewitched by this male succubus, the audience has also become warriors of love?

This is so strange!

"Brother, are you feeling lost and confused right now?"

Suddenly, the animation had just ended. The new ED, which was dark and gloomy and completely broke the previous warm and everyday impression, which was carefully prepared by Sato Yu, had just been broadcast, when Qiong called.

The clever sister guessed everything about her brother, so she immediately rode over and laughed at him harshly.

"Wow~ I was wondering why my brother refused to watch anime with me today. Even when I acted cute to you, you pushed me away and went home alone. I thought you and your sister were having a falling out...

Well, I thought my brother was hiding something from me, but it turned out that he just wanted to watch the barrage of comments break through the defense and reveal his shameful villain face.

However, I think the one who is broken down now must be the poor brother who is crying and sobbing because the dish he prepared so carefully did not achieve the expected effect.

Humph, letting you abandon me and go home alone to enjoy yourself secretly, this is the punishment bestowed upon you!"
