My Animation Era

  Chapter 618 The Evolved Way of Playing Cards (Subscription required)

  The popularity of "Detective Conan" animation & comics in overseas markets has exceeded everyone's expectations.

  Even Gu Miao didn't think about it, let alone other people.

   But it's not all good news!

  Although "Detective Conan" was broadcast in Neon, Southeast Asia and some European countries, it has received a good response.

   But in North America and South America, Conan's influence will be greatly reduced.

  Why is this happening?

   It can only be said that there are cultural differences, and there are also different aesthetic tastes! After all, animation works are not golden diamonds, and they cannot be liked by people in every region.

  The audience in North America seems to prefer superhero animations like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"...

It does not matter!

   As a major animation company, Wanbao has nothing short of high-quality works. If you don't like Conan, do you like Xiaozhi? Do you like Pharaoh?

  The end of July.

  Just as Gu Miao Zhang Luo was arranging dubbing candidates for the animation "The Prince of Tennis", Huang Kun and Hou Bin reached a consensus.

  Neither of the two of them want to crash Mr. Gu's new work, let alone postpone it until the end of the year or even next year...

   So what should we do?

   Isn't it just summer vacation! A summer vacation is so long, it can completely squeeze two TV animations to be broadcast at the same time.

   Just stagger the time slots!

   "Pokémon 2" is scheduled to be broadcast at 17:00 noon on Kuka Children's Channel, and "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel City" is scheduled to be broadcast at 21:00 p.m. on Shancheng Children's Channel.

  One in the afternoon and one in the evening.

  You broadcast yours, I broadcast mine. Not only are the TV stations chosen differently, but the broadcast time is also staggered by nearly five hours.

   This wave, this wave is a fake match!

  Wanbao Animation officially announced that it will launch two popular TV animation sequels in the August summer vacation, which made the Ghost Hand Animation next door in Zhonghai grit its teeth with hatred.

  Don't ask why!

  Ghost Hand Animation spent huge sums of money to buy the posthumous work of the suicide cartoonist and adapted it into animation, and is preparing to do a big job this summer vacation.

  The official announcement copy has been edited, the TV station has contacted, relatives and friends have come to eat, and all the money has been collected, and the result...

  Damn Gu Sanshui!

  If there are other original animations announced to be aired during the summer vacation, then forget it.

   But this is the orthodox TV sequel of "Pokémon" and "Yu-Gi-Oh"... If you look at these two names, who in the Chinese comic circle is not afraid of watching them?

  Facing one of them alone, the ghost hand animation would have to run away with a bucket, not to mention that Wanbao doesn't talk about martial arts, and dispatched two generals under his account in one go.

"I bother!"

   "Disgusting, disgusting!"

  Ghost Hand Animation cursed and was busy revising its broadcast plan. By the way, it changed the date of the announcement copy that it had written before.

  Can't you afford to mess with me?

  When they corrected the copywriting overnight, communicated with the TV station again about the broadcast plan, and were about to tell fans about the postponement, Wanbao... Oh! This time it's Gu Sanshui!

   Sad!

  Just changed the word "summer vacation" in the promotional copy to "start of school", before clicking to publish, Gu Sanshui said in a high-profile manner that his new work "The Prince of Tennis" will be aired at the earliest in autumn.

  Your mother must increase the price of vegetables!

  I can no longer describe the ghostly hand animation of my inner feelings in words, so I can only smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and honestly make a second round of revisions to the copywriting.

  They were honest this time.

  Since the second half of the year is full of minefields, I'll just skip to January next year, so it's okay, right?

  …

   Gu Miao didn't know that because of the official announcements made by him, Huang Kun, Hou Bin and others, Ghost Hand Animation revised its broadcast plan twice in one night.

  If he knew, he would definitely not be able to help reminding the other party:

   "My brother! Don't you want to revise the plan again? It doesn't seem like a good place to go at the end of the year?"

  Unfortunately, he didn't know.

  So reminding the matter of ghost hand animation is naturally out of the question.

  At this moment, he is full of anticipation, quietly waiting for the broadcast of the latest season of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" animation!

What? Pokemon?

  What's so good about Xiaozhi, the top eight? Besides, in the first two episodes of the second season of the animation "Pokémon", there are no key games.

   But "Yu-Gi-Oh" is different.

  The first few episodes of the animation of the second season "Duel City" are the key episodes involving the memory of the Pharaoh, and it also involves elements such as the Millennium Artifact and the Three Illusory Gods.

Ok!

  Gu Miao admitted that he just wanted to see the difference between the Three Fantasy Gods made by Huang Kun and the original Three Fantasy Gods.

   What's more, he is not free in the afternoon.

  The second season of "Pokémon" is very friendly to ordinary students and children, but for adult audiences like him who are busy with work, it is only suitable to watch reruns.

   On the other hand, "Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel City" aired at night was quite good, at least it could catch up with the premiere.

  Nine o'clock in the evening.

  Shancheng Children's Channel aired on time, the first episode of the second season of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" TV animation that has attracted much attention from the outside world - "Mysterious Transfer Student".

  The plot continues the previous "Duel Kingdom", starting directly from the arrival of the mysterious transfer student Long Er.

  For those viewers who haven’t watched the first season, you don’t have to worry about the incomprehensibility of the plot starting from this episode.

   "The title changed?"

  Just picked up a banana, Gu Miao, who was about to replenish her energy, looked up and found a surprise.

  The second season of "Yu-Gi-Oh" has a new title and a new theme song, and the editing has become very sharp, giving it a more futuristic sci-fi feel.

Not only that.

  When the short OP ended and the feature film of the animation began to broadcast, Gu Miao found that even the picture of the feature film seemed to become brighter and cleaner.

   "Huang Kun has an idea!"

  Gu Miao was amazed, and thought this change was good, at least he liked it very much.

  Duel City and Duel Kingdom, the plot is of course the same. But the overall style is completely different, Duel City is more inclined to the side of "future science fiction".

Precisely.

   Not only Duel City, but the follow-up series of animations of "Yu-Gi-Oh" are actually shifting in the direction of "futuristic and sci-fi".

  The most intuitive change is the way of playing cards.

  From playing cards on desks in the earliest games with Jouchi, primitive duels similar to playing poker, to later holographic projections, wrist duel discs, and even riding duels...

   It is not difficult to see that "Yu-Gi-Oh" is still keeping pace with the times!

  At least in terms of futuristic and sci-fi, each season of animation usually brings a new surprise or shock to the audience?

  Maybe one day...

  With the continuous evolution of the way of playing cards in "Yu-Gi-Oh", all kinds of card playing with ideas, playing cards across time and space, and quantum playing cards will emerge.

   Be bold!

  Perhaps by that time, the animation will no longer need "entity" cards to appear. The protagonist snaps his fingers to directly communicate with the will of the universe, realizing card printing in the void.

  You think I'm playing cards with you?

  No!

   It's actually "fighting skills"!

   My family has a fever, I guess it was sent...
