My Animation Era

  Chapter 293 Four Sisters in the Demon Realm (for subscription)

   Well known.

   "Sailor Moon" TV animation series, adapted from the manga of the same name by the famous cartoonist Naoko Takeuchi.

   Under normal circumstances, the update speed of comics, or the end time will be earlier than the animation production and broadcast time.

  This can be called "adaptation"!

  First have the original work, and then modify and polish it according to the content of the original work, and make it into the final animation version. This is the meaning of adapting animation.

Normally…

  Whether you watch it horizontally or vertically, or stand up and squat down, Sailor Moon is an out-and-out "adaptation" animation.

   But here comes the problem!

  Wanbao version of "Sailor Moon" is produced "simultaneously" with the animation and manga, and even the release date of the manga is later than the premiere date of the animation.

   It’s OK to do this in the first season!

  After all, the animation supervisor is Gu Miao, he knows how to set up characters and how to advance the plot. It doesn't really matter who comes out first, animation or manga.

  The director of the sequel "Sailor Moon R" has changed!

  As the successor, Seto doesn't have Gu Miao's ability to "see the future". It is not suitable for him to publish animation first and then comics.

   So he changed tactics!

  Different from the synchronous production mode of animation and comics in the first season of "Sailor Moon", "Sailor Moon R" belongs to the comic content first, followed by animation.

  Manga started selling very early.

  Nantong?

  He was just getting started, drawing a few volumes of the Sailor Moon manga. The content of the subsequent comics has long been handed over to another cartoonist.

  The approximate order is like this...

  As the supervisor, Gu Miao proposed the animation project "Sailor Moon", and then started the animation production and broadcast.

  During this period, he commissioned "Mr. Nantong" to create and perfect the content of "Comics 1-4" based on the outline of the story.

  From the 5th volume of manga, the author has changed.

   Gu Miao also forgot who to replace it with.

  Anyway, he is a member of Wanbao Comics, a very hardworking newcomer cartoonist. After taking over the "Sailor Moon" manga project from Nantong, more than a dozen manga volumes have been released one after another.

   This time, the animation "Sailor Moon R" produced and broadcast by Wanbao (Neon) Division is adapted from the manga volumes 5-10.

  Gu Miao has read comics.

   It can even be said that the release of volumes 5-10 of the manga is inseparable from his "pointing" behind the scenes.

  Based on "Sailor Moon R" adapted from manga volumes 5-10, the plot is mainly divided into two parts:

  Makaishu chapter: original animation!

  Black Moon Empire Chapter: The main line of the manga!

  In these two story chapters, in addition to familiar characters such as Sailor Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, there are also some "new characters" appearing.

  Among them, the most popular and most anticipated character, the character that has sparked an upsurge of discussion before the animation is broadcast is none other than "Little Rabbit".

  Little Rabbit, English name SmallLady, literally translated as "little lady".

  Don't look at the name, it sounds casual, but her status is incredible. She is the daughter of Usagi Tsukiha and Mamoru Jiba, born in the 30th century.

Ok!

   It's no secret.

   Fans of "Beauty War" who have read the comics, and fans who have been through Gu Miao's drama in advance, basically know the origin of Little Rabbit's life experience.

   More than name identity.

  Even everyone knows why the little rabbit came from the 30th century to the 21st century.

  Everyone is looking forward to the debut of Little Rabbit, mainly looking forward to what changes will Little Rabbit have in the animated version of "Sailor Moon R"?

  Will it be the same as in the manga?

   Or is it that Seto, the new director of the "American War" animation, will give Little Rabbit a new character setting?

  In addition to Little Rabbit, other Sailor Soldiers, that is, other planets in the solar system, are also highly anticipated.

   But unfortunately...

  Although Wanbao official did not say it clearly, it is not difficult for the audience to speculate from various published news that most of the "Sailor Moon R" is still dominated by the four fighters of "Water, Fire, Wood and Metal".

   Other Sailor Soldiers?

  Maybe you will be a passerby, or you may not have the chance to show your face. The animation has just been aired. Except for the production team who knows the answer, no one knows what will happen.

  …

   "Aren't there four more villains?"

  Walking into the living room with a plate of freshly washed fruits, Jiang Keke wondered, "I've read the comics. Will the four sisters from the Demon Realm of the Black Moon Empire appear in the animation?"

"meeting!"

  Gu Miao reached out to pick up a banana, peeled it and explained: "The four classic villain sisters must have their part in the scene!"

   "Not only do they have roles, but they also have a lot of roles! I can guarantee that the four sisters will be very popular after the animation is broadcast."

   "Huh? Not so much?"

  Jiang Keke blinked and said: "Aren't these four sisters purely tool people? They don't even count as little bosses in comics, how could..."

   "The animation has changed a lot."

   Before she finished speaking, Gu Miao shook her head and said, "In the animation, these four sisters are considered to be the most successful characters. And at the end of the animation, the four sisters are all whitewashed."

Well!

   To be reasonable, when Gu Miao first watched the animation of "Sailor Moon R", as a manga party, he was really shocked.

   Didn’t expect the animation to change so much?

  People who don’t understand the difference, or fans of “American War” who have only watched animations and comics, may find it difficult to understand this sense of “shock”.

  The animation is really a "magic change".

   Moreover, this kind of magic modification is still very strong, so Naoko Takeuchi saw it herself, and probably couldn't believe it was her own work.

  Four sisters from the Demon Realm?

   This is just a classic case of the original manga of "Sailor Moon R".

  In addition to these four sisters, the animation has also undergone magic changes in many places. It can be said that even the most basic plot direction has changed.

   Is this good or bad?

  It's hard to say, anyway, Gu Miao is the one who supports the "magic reform".

  He thinks the manga version is pretty good, it’s cruel enough, dark enough and interesting, the kind that makes people unable to stop watching.

  Similarly, he also believes that after the "magic reform" of the old version of animation, the character creation is quite successful, and the plot trend is unexpected but reasonable.

   Both versions are good.

  So after comprehensive consideration, Gu Miao finally decided: Poor Bi only makes the choice, and Wanbao wants it all!

  Comics follow the path of manga, and animation follows the path of animation, each doing its own thing, and it will be fine to make a "Sailor Moon Crystal" version later.

   Oh yes!

  Speaking of the Four Sisters of the Demon Realm and the Demon Reform...

  Gu Miao suddenly thought of a setting that is extremely easy to be overlooked, but it "shone brilliantly" in the animated version of "Sailor Moon".

  What setting?

   Of course, the villains, from pure demons exaggerating horror at the beginning, have become more and more "human".

Also known as…

  The villains of Sailor Moon seem to be getting more and more down-to-earth, and have more and more "human" characteristics.
