In 2000, the 11-episode drama "Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park" produced and broadcasted by TBS TV station in Japan won the best work , best screenwriter , best director , best card Division , best lens and many other awards.
In 2020, the animation "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" produced by animation studio was originally scheduled to be broadcast in July, but the broadcast date was changed to October due to the epidemic.
"Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park" was originally a youth mystery novel created by Japanese writer Ishida Yoshida. Ishida Yoshida won the 36th "ALL Reader Mystery Novel Newcomer Award " for this work.
, whether it is a live-action TV series or an animation, is adapted from this novel, but the animation refers to the 2006 comic of the same name created by Chiwu Arito based on this novel.
is based on Ishida Yori’s novel, and there was a live-action TV series exploring the way 20 years ago. The comics 14 years ago have also been serialized in "Weekly Shonen Magazine", so this new movie released in October this year Fan, there is a high probability that the plot will not collapse, but in terms of production, it may make the big guys more or less worried.
The animation studio that produced "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" may be strange to domestic audiences, but the company’s history can be traced back to 1973, and the sense of existence is not high just because it has been engaged in decades after its establishment. With outsourcing work .
After entering the new century, Animation Studio began to explore its own development route. After a series of bumping into walls, finally found a way of its own: making and selling cute fans!
The well-known "Gangwumei Xiaobui" is the work of Animation Studio. Animation Studio is very capable of dealing with how the characters sell cute, how cute they should be sold, how to achieve better selling cute through psychological activities, actions and plots. This is a lot of experience the company has explored from "Swaying Lily".
However, while achieving cuteness, the animation studio's ability to control the plot is slightly weaker . Any animation produced by Animation Studio is attracted by a cute character, and the plot is not particularly important. This makes the intelligence gentleman a little worried after learning that "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" was produced by Animation Studio.
It is true that the comic "Ikebukuro West Exit Park" also has more or less Q-like shots of characters. This may be the field of animation studios, but this work is still a youthful suspense work. What is the control of the plot and the emotional mobilization of the audience The level of the work and the level of use of the lens determine the direction of the work's reputation.
But the animation studio is not very unbearable. The reason for taking over this work is probably that it is seeking transformation internally. It cannot support itself by selling cute fans. It needs to develop other types of fan dramas, and the plot is already highly mature. , And "Ikebukuro West Exit Park", which was explored by the predecessors, happened to be their choice.
Let's go back and talk about this work. Although it is youth , this "youth" is completely different from the youth we recognize. The youth of the boys and girls in Ikebukuro West Exit Park is rebellious and hesitant. , Self-indulgent youth.
The style of the whole work is completely irrelevant to cuteness, only the fast-paced suspense, and the sad and helpless young people passing by, there is no lack of violence , mental disorders , drug, search Indulging in and other scenes, most of them appear in young people, but this work describes these young people with the greatest tolerance and warmth. There are young people in the works of
, almost no one is healthy and happy. This is related to their tragic experience and childhood trauma. These sorrows appear on them, making them more sympathetic to the weak. So we can see—-The
story on the one hand maintains the structure of youth dark novels, on the other hand it has acquired the taste of social and humanistic novels.
How to control the rhythm of and keep the work at the high level of live-action TV series is what the animation studio should do. On the one hand, because I haven't done an anime with serious storytelling (in fact, I have done it, but it's not very good), so the finished product is more or less worried.
But on the other hand, since we have to try new areas, the production team should also be able to allocate some company resources. If Animation Studio really wants to do this animation to make its own reputation, then the resources will be inclined The intensity will be greater and the quality of the finished product will be better.
Of course, these good and bad expectations will know the answer after the work comes out.
