The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

While the outside world was still arguing over Mu Su Xing's words, the magic circle still maintained its frequency of one episode a week, and it was played stably on all video sites. The depressing prelude to "One episode, one shady scene".

At this moment, the audience who follow the fan is no longer limited to audiences who are originally interested in the theme of magical girls. Many audiences who are not interested in animations of magical girls themselves, but were aroused by the words of Shepherd Xing, Hearing the news, he also came here, and with the mood of giving it a try, he clicked on the magic circle.

Shen Tongfang is one of them.

As a well-known comic critic of Blue Star, Shen Tongfang has always been extremely critical. Perhaps the young literary and artistic youths are a little bit arrogant. For example, Shen Tongfang just laughed it off for "IS" and other animations produced by Huaying before. interest in watching.

In his opinion, writing a review for this kind of unnutritious animation is a waste of time in itself.

If he hadn't been moved by Mu Suxing's words, and then became curious about this animation that made the other party full of confidence, Shen Tongfang would never watch the online animation that he has always looked down upon.

As for the magic circle...

"I'm just idle, I want to see what the depth and connotation of what the director said." Half expectant, half curious, after finishing up the first three episodes quickly, Shen Tongfang continued to click on the fourth episode.

Under the stress and fear of witnessing the tragic death of Mami-senpai, Madoka finally gave up the idea of ​​becoming a magical girl. , but after firmly telling the other party that "miracles and magic exist", he made an exchange with Kewbi.

At the end of the animation, another magical girl who came here because of Ba Mami’s death, after learning that the city was already guarded by another newly born magical girl, had a cold smile on her lips: I am also very upset that such an excellent site is handed over to a rookie who has just debuted."

Cupid: "What are you going to do, Kyoko?"

"Is there any need to ask?" The red-haired girl called Xingzi casually bit off the delicious stick in her hand: "The key, just solve it?"

- "Take that girl."

The plot of the fourth episode ended here, and Shen Tongfang squinted his eyes thoughtfully.

After experiencing the tragedy of the death of the senior sister in the third episode, the magical girls will kill each other because of the entanglement of interests-instead, it is no longer an unexpected setting, but a logical plot.

What he cares about is not the main plot of the magic circle that has not been clear so far, but the profound meaning in the lines of the animated characters. If the picture in front of him is not indeed a cartoon character, Shen Tongfang almost doubts that he is watching a grass snake. line movie.To put it in a sort of literary technique: "If there's a pistol on the wall in the first act of a play, the barn is bound to fire in the third act."

Shen Tongfang faintly felt that these lines that made him feel that there was something in his words might be a hint to the follow-up of the magic circle, and when he finished watching the magic circle and then looked back at the first episode, he would definitely find that, The key information in the animation, perhaps at the very beginning, must have been answered.

"interesting!"

Shen Tongfang suddenly became interested.

He suddenly realized that the name of this animation sounds childish and clichéd, but in fact it is very likely to be the opposite. You can hardly find even a minute of useless plot in this animation, every sentence in the animation, every animation , Every picture has a deep meaning.

And all these details will point to the final "knot" of the animation.

The animation played to the fifth episode, and the killing between magical girls turned into a real scene in this episode. In the narrow alley, Sayaka fought with the red-haired girl who appeared at the end of the previous episode.

"Don't you understand after reading it? That's not a witch but a familiar, so it's impossible for her to have the seeds of lamentation."

In the dimly lit alley, the long wooden warehouse in the hands of the red-haired girl lay straight between Sayexiang's neck, the latter gritted his teeth slightly, and retorted: "But if you leave that alone, someone will be killed! "

The girl who was questioned lowered her head and took a bite of the taiyaki in her hand, her tone was so flat as if she was talking about the weather: "So, let's wait until it turns into a witch after eating four or five people, so that we can get the seeds of lamentation. How can you kill the chicken before laying eggs?"

The fighting concept is completely opposite to the traditional magic girl animation.

Although Shen Tongfang has never watched Magical Girl animation, he is still clear about the common plot routines of this type of animation. On this point, the magic circle is more cruel and realistic.

The so-called battle is no longer a personal show of magical girls wearing beautiful dresses, but a game of life and death that may encounter danger at any time.

Adhering to the concept of love and justice, Sayaka, who fought to protect others, was beaten helplessly by Sakura Kyoko, who regarded "witches kill humans, and magical girls hunt witches" as the food chain indifferently.

Where is this magical girl animation?It's clearly the animation of Anti-Magic Girl, okay?

Shen Tongfang complained secretly in his heart, but he had to admit that compared to the magical girls of love and justice that have flooded today, he was more interested in magical girl animations with ulterior motives like Magic Circle, and he was also more curious about the follow-up plot of the animation. .

How will the follow-up of the animation develop?Why does Chubby keep luring Madoka into becoming a magical girl?What does Xiaomeiyan know?Why did she ask Madoka to give up Sayaka after learning that Sayaka became a magical girl?

Is the dark fate of magical girls really just cruel battles?

With such doubts in mind, the animation came to the sixth episode.

When Sayaka confronted Kyoko again, in order to prevent the two from fighting, when Sayaka was about to use the soul gem to transform into a magical girl, Madoka resolutely snatched it and threw it under the bridge.

As Sayaka's soul gem landed on the truck passing by under the bridge, Xiao Meiyan, who seemed to realize something, disappeared in a flash, and chased after the speeding truck.At the same time, Sayaka, who lost the soul gem, also fell forward.

Faced with Madoka and Kyoko's panic and confusion, Chubby behaved extremely calmly: "Madoka, that's not Sayaka there, it's just an empty shell. Didn't Sayaka get thrown away by you just now?"

What the fuck? !

Even though Shen Tongfang believed that he had already made sufficient mental preparations, he was still shocked when faced with such a revealing secret, and Kyoko and Madoka who were present were equally astonished——

It turns out that all magical girls, from the day they signed the contract with Chubby, their original living bodies had already "dead", and their souls were pulled out by Chubby and transformed into soul gems, so as long as the soul gems are safe and sound, no matter what No matter what kind of injury the magical girl herself suffers, she will not die, nor will she feel any pain.

What kind of devil setting is this!

Is the script writer who came up with this setting a pervert?

Shen Tongfang was shocked.

This is not over yet.

After learning the truth about herself, realizing that such a self and her sweetheart are impossible, and can only watch her friend confess to the boy she likes, Sayaka seems to have almost collapsed, holding "anyway, nothing With the idea that it will hurt”, Sayaka began to use self-mutilation tactics in the battle with the witch by virtue of her strong healing ability.

"The me now, Killing the Witch, is a little stone that has no meaning other than that." The heavy rain was pouring outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and Sayaka's face was hidden behind the darkness, unable to see any expression clearly: "Let the dead body move!" Get up, pretend to be alive, who would do anything for me like this? Just thinking about it makes no sense."

In this way, after another battle, which caused the magic power to be exhausted and the soul gem to be completely polluted by despair, Sayaka, who fought against the witch as a magical girl, was reincarnated as a witch since then.

In the final battle to awaken Sayaka, Madoka failed to awaken Sayaka in the end, and Kyoko was gradually exhausted in the battle with Sayaka as a witch——

"Why, I should have done this until now." The red-haired girl said with a wry smile, pulling down the hair rope on the ponytail with one hand, her long crimson hair fluttering in the air, she stretched out her hand, and put her The soul gem is held in the palm of the hand, like a nun praying devoutly in a church.

"Don't worry, Sayaka."

In the gradually blurred light, the girl's eyes were dyed with a layer of gentleness, and even her voice seemed to carry a quiet smile: "It's lonely to be alone, right? Well, I'm with you. "

She closed her eyes, gently kissed the crimson soul gem, then raised her hand and threw it in front of Sayaka, who was a witch.The golden long wooden warehouse appeared in her hand again at this moment, with the last flame-like light, smashing the gemstone to pieces.

The crimson fragments scattered all over the sky, followed by an explosion that was huge enough to destroy the entire witch's enchantment. Accompanied by a loud noise, the streets at night were empty, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Tongfang suddenly stood up from his seat!

That's right, this is it!

Akami Homura's indifference, Ba Mami's advice, Kyoko's contempt... All the foreshadowing and hints that were gradually planted at the beginning of the animation turned into facts visible to the naked eye at this moment. The tiny streams converged at this moment, With overwhelming momentum, it crashed into the emotional dam of the audience.

Shen Tongfang closed his eyes, only to feel a slight heat in his eye sockets, but at the same time, a different kind of excitement welled up in his heart.

It was his rare discovery of himself and his favorite works as a comic critic, and he was so excited to see Lie Xinxi!

Yes, this is what he wants to see!

"The line between Sayaka and Kyoko can be said to have ended beautifully, but there is still one unsolved..." On the screen, under the afterglow of the setting sun, holding Madoka who lost consciousness, Homura Akami slowly moved towards the unknown. Famous far away.Shen Tongfang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Akatsuki Homura had obviously met Madoka Kame before this world axis.

So before that, what happened between the two of them?

Thinking of this, Shen Tongfang suddenly had the urge to re-watch the previous episodes of The Magic Circle, and study it carefully by the way.
