Double Happiness
The October new series is coming to an end. A new series that was rarely discussed at first has gradually attracted the attention of more and more domestic animation audiences as the plot deepens, and in "Mickey and Dali" has a place among the October new series that are full of "masterpieces" and "hegemony".
Currently, the "Mickey and Dally" animation has been updated to its tenth episode on Station B, with nearly 15.8 million views, 479,000 followers, and a rating of 9.7. Before the anime was aired, it attracted the attention of some anime fans due to the news that its author, Sano Nanami, had passed away from cancer. Now more viewers are paying attention to it mostly because of the author's other work "What's wrong with Shimo Sakamoto?" .
"Sakamoto" was introduced through domestic video platforms in 2016. The imaginative campus comedy caused a lot of discussion. The protagonist Sakamoto also became a topical figure at the time because of his constant magic tricks. The most popular "repeated jump" was It has been completely integrated into the Chinese Internet and has become a popular online vocabulary.
was influenced by the animation performance of "Sakamoto", and the audience is naturally looking forward to the author's continued use of imagination in "Mickey and Dali". Facts have proved that Sano Nami is very good at this, the story is full of jokes, and the frequent "Huh? Is this okay?" in the barrage is a reflection of the author's imagination that is not inferior to that of the past.
As the plot progresses, more and more viewers realize that "Mickey and Dally" is not a complete spiritual sequel to "Sakamoto", and the protagonists of the story, Mickey and Dally, cannot be simply summarized as "Sakamoto Meal Replacement x2". In the Japanese animation market, such stylized works are a reflection of this mature and content-diversified market.
A spiritual sequel to "Sakamoto"?
"Mickey and Dally" tells the story of the twins Mickey and Dally who return to the small town where they once lived to find the real murderer of their mother and the truth behind it. It's just that there was a slight mistake in the plan from the beginning. The two brothers living in the orphanage originally planned to return to the town by being adopted. However, the Yuanshan couple who came to the orphanage only planned to adopt a child. For this reason, the two brothers could only play the same identity "mystery" together. bird".
In order to successfully be selected by the Maruyama couple, Mickey and Dali tried their best to gain favor and give the couple the illusion of being "destined". Of course, the content seen by the audience from a God's perspective is essentially different from it. Everything is just the two brothers using local materials, directing, acting and setting up their characters.
It is impossible for the adoption plan to fail. The early stage of the story also mainly focuses on the daily life of Mickey and Dally entering the Maruyama family. The two of them play the same role, and it is not difficult to guess that no matter how sparse and ordinary life is, it will become extremely exciting.
If they want to have a full meal, the two brothers have to use timing to perform a dramatic transformation at the dinner table with a difficulty level of 10.
In order to maintain the goodwill between the couple, Mickey and Dali showed extremely high intelligence, but the way of expression was a bit abstract and ghostly.
The Maruyama couple, who are immersed in the illusion of a "harmony and beauty family", naturally do not know the truth, but the audience has been deeply shocked: "My cerebellum shrank when I saw it."
The creative ideas of these imaginative plots are obviously inherited from the early creation of "Sakamoto", solving conventional problems in unconventional ways. And the similarities between the two don't stop there. Just as "Sakamoto" reflects a lot of adolescent troubles and campus bullying and other social issues, the fun of "Mickey and Dally" is actually the black humor that comes from suffering, orphan status and lack of... The pain caused to the two brothers by their caring childhood also made the audience feel heartbroken.
However, compared with the relatively relaxed look and feel brought by the "Sakamoto" animation, the funny and even absurd plot of "Mickey and Dali" coupled with the exaggerated body movements and expressions of the characters in the animation can only leave the audience with the impression of "crazy". Described as "weird" and "abstract", this is obviously a test of whether the viewer and the work can catch up with the radio waves. Therefore, there are not a few viewers who chose to quit the animation in the early stages, and those who enjoyed it continued to explore the truth behind this absurd comedy from the perspective of the twins.
