spirit of chess may feel a little strange to many anime fans.
, because of the popularity of this work, dates back to 10 years ago. Of course, in terms of the quality and flow of animation, it was definitely the top-tier work at that time. Not only does
each character have distinct personality characteristics, the content and plot are also passionate and active.
Therefore, after knowing the live-action version of the Gossip Soul, the author is also full of anticipation, and I will watch this once magical work for the first time. The reduction of
can be called conscience, Shinto Mitsu and Zuowei have nothing to do with each other. Since
is an adaptation, the protagonist's name has also changed a little, Shinto Hikari becomes Xiao Hikari; and Zuo Wei is renamed Chu Ying.
Of course, for domestic audiences, the new name adds a sense of intimacy.
In fact, for comic works, the degree of restoration is what the original party is most concerned about. Many screenwriters just like to forcefully add settings, and ultimately make the work ridiculous. The fighting gasification horse of
back then is a good example.
Back to the spirit of chess itself, the work is restored or not.
On the one hand, it is whether the performance of these actors and actresses can support the character's personality.
On the other hand, this is the development of the plot, whether it will follow the continuation of the animation.
Obviously, the live-action version of the spirit of chess is very successful in both aspects, which can be called a conscience adaptation.
The plot is warm-blooded and warm, and Xiaoguang's growth process is inspirational. At the beginning of the story of
, Xiaoguang got the chance to be selected by Chu Ying (zuowei) under the circumstances.
, once the strongest player, has been unable to reincarnate because of his obsession with Go. However, because Chu Ying was in a spiritual state, outsiders couldn't see him at all. Only by waiting for someone who is destined to have a dialogue with him.
Obviously, Xiaoguang is such a destined person.
And the reason why Chu Ying has existed for thousands of years is that he wants to pursue the highest realm of chess players, the "hand of God". Is
very familiar with this term? After all, the stalk of the hand of God appears in many videos now, and its origin is the animation of the spirit of chess.
Before getting to know Chu Ying, Xiaoguang was completely a Go noob, and even the basic Go rules and gripping techniques were not clear.
Chu Ying's appearance obviously changed Xiaoguang's life trajectory, and after that, he encountered the life enemy Ta Yaliang (Xiao Liang). The two of
started a mutual competition mode, striving towards the highest state of Go. The original author of
, Yumi Horita, wrote a letter to praise the live-action version of Soul Go.
is most worried about the quality of the live-action version, it must be the original author of the spirit of chess. Before seeing the final result of the live-action version, Yumi Horita was always worried.
worried that the plot and character performance would be embarrassing, but after seeing the effect of the finished product, Yumi Horita's worries instantly became invisible.
In order to show her recognition of the live-action version, Yumi Horita even wrote a letter. In the content of the letter,
also explained his attitude towards the live-action version: It turns out that the live-action version can have such expressive power. Hikaru is more naughty than the original Shinto Hikaru, and Sawei is cuter and more impactful than the original.
Concluding remarks: Regardless of the feedback from the original fans, or the attitude of the spirit of chess author Yumi Horita, the adaptation of the live-action version of the spirit of chess is indeed very successful and can be called a conscience adaptation.
And, in some Go performances, the live version is even more rigorous than the original, allowing the audience to understand the rules and fun of Go while watching the movie.
