Anime introduction (plot, how many episodes of animation and comics, are they finished?)
1. Death
Movie summary:
Except for being able to see spirits, the 15-year-old Kurosaki Ichigo is just an ordinary high school student. The fate of a young girl changed dramatically after their encounter. In order to chase the evil spirit called "Hollow", a girl who claimed to be the God of Death suddenly appeared in front of Ichigo - Rukia Kuchiki. 』. Rukia, who was trying to save Ichigo, was seriously injured and unable to suppress the evil spirit. In the end, out of frustration, I decided to give the Shinigami's ability to Ichigo...
·Kuchiki Rukia (born January 14th / 144cm / 33kg)
A Shinigami born in Soul Society . Lucia, who had almost all of his power as a Shinigami absorbed by Ichigo, entered a temporary body - Gigo and transferred to Ichigo's high school. Before the strength is restored, Ichigo's power must be used to continue to execute the sanctions against Hollow. Transferring the ability of a Shinigami is a serious crime. When this matter is exposed, she will be taken back by Soul Society.
·Inoue Orihime (September 3rd / BO type / 157cm / 45kg)
Ichigo’s classmate with naturally lively big breasts. She had almost no contact with Ichigo, but after her brother was attacked and killed by Hollow three years ago, Orihime began to have a close relationship with Ichigo because of this incident. Although he took that incident as an opportunity to get to know Ichigo, he still kept this secret from those around him. Later, due to the influence of Ichigo's spiritual power, he had the ability to activate Shun Shield and Rikka.
·Ishida Uryu (born on November 6th / Type AB / 171cm / 55kg)
Ichigo’s classmate. The top scholar in the arts and crafts department during the school year. He doesn't stand out in class and doesn't talk much. In fact, he is a descendant of exorcists who specializes in dealing with hollows, and is the last member of the Quincy clan that was exterminated more than 200 years ago. He hates the Shinigami due to his past relationship with Soul Society and the Quincy, so when he was destroying Hollows, he changed his name to Takeru?lt;br>
·Chawata Taitora (born on April 7th/AO Type / 197cm / 112kg)
Ichigo’s giant classmate who is nearly 2 meters tall. He has an invincible and immortal body that can only be slightly injured even if he is crushed by falling iron bones or has a head-on collision with a motorcycle. I have always had doubts about the fact that I have a body that is different from ordinary people. However, because I have been by Ichigo's side, the answer to my body's secret has become more and more apparent. The ability hidden during the battle with Hollow was activated. Like small animals.
About the male protagonist: Kurosaki Ichigo, 15 years old, high school student, with short orange hair. He was originally an ordinary high school student, but he had the ability to see souls. Later one day, he was targeted by an evil spirit that turned into a "hollow". At the same time, he met the heroine Rukia Kuchiki, the god of death. During the battle, he obtained Rukia's death ability by mistake, and the story unfolded naturally~ Ah, this synopsis of the plot makes me feel so boring...the God of Death, collecting spirits, etc. are all very cliched settings, and the story itself does not have the same level of novelty and aura as Togashi. "BLEACH" can be said to follow a very traditional shonen comic route: battles, partners, friendship, family ties, opponents, the protagonist's constant leveling, the unfortunate past... basically all the familiar plots can be found in this story found here. But it itself just reflects the tenacious vitality of the traditional shonen comic model: although there is no innovation, as long as the tradition is brought into full play to the best possible extent and the balance of characters and plot is taken into account, a very exciting comic can be produced work.
Advantage 1: The painting style has to be said that the author may have been influenced by Oda and Takei. The painting style is concise and refreshing, and the characters are tangible. However, some monsters and characters give people a "déjà vu" feeling. However, Kubo is more mediocre in comparison, and he still pays great attention to the beauty of the main characters. And I think he is better than Oda in terms of the smoothness of the storyboards.
Advantage 2: Characters are the core of comics. Let’s talk about the protagonist first. Everyone knows that the protagonists of Shao Man’s comics are all the same. They are enthusiastic, loyal, and do everything intuitively. Kurosaki Ichigo, whose body is faster than his brain, is no exception. There is almost nothing special about him. The only characteristic is probably that he is the elder brother of his two younger sisters.
Because he is the eldest brother, he is more considerate of others when doing things, and does not appear to be brainless like other young comic protagonists. But to be honest, the highlight of this comic is not the protagonist at all, although he is the most popular character every time ~ Next are the protagonist’s partners: an eyed man who can’t lie and likes sewing, a kind-hearted and burly man The muscular man, a beautiful girl with a simple mind who has a crush on the protagonist, a flirtatious soul, and the heroine Kuchiki, are considered satisfactory, and each character's life experience and personality are designed to be relatively fleshed out. But the shortcomings are also obvious: together they cannot achieve a balance with the protagonist. To put it simply, the potential value of the protagonist is set too high, which affects the performance of other characters. This is the problem with almost all young comics nowadays. I always feel that a team with balanced strength is more interesting than a solo protagonist. But now it is difficult to find a balanced combination like the Youyou foursome back then... So in this case, the only person who balances with the protagonist is the protagonist's opponent - this is what I think is the most brilliant part of this comic. . At the beginning of the manga, Kurosaki has to do a job similar to exterminating demons. His opponents are all monster-like evil spirits "Hollows". At this stage, those monsters are naturally unpopular, and those who play a role are the protagonist's friends. However, because They were not attractive enough, so most of the votes in the first character voting were concentrated on the male and female protagonists. But as the story progresses, Kurosaki and Kuchiki’s rival becomes the Shinigami organization in Soul Society to which Kuchiki belongs. Kuchiki was forcibly brought back to the Corpse God Realm from the human world and sentenced to death. So in order to save her, Kurosaki and his friends must face the 13th Division of the Death Organization. There are a total of 26 captains and deputy captains of each team, and none of them are simple walk-on roles. They all have distinctive personalities and carefully crafted characters; the intricate relationships between these people have added to the story to a large extent. It increases the tension of the plot and prevents the story from getting into a boring situation when the protagonist is leveling up. Moreover, so many characters with different personalities are also conducive to gathering popularity. For example, the smiling Ichimaru Gin, the upright and affectionate Renji Abarai, the elegant and indifferent Byakuya Kuchiki and other squad captains voted the protagonists in the second popularity vote. The friends squeezed in...
Advantage 3: The first half of the plot is relatively relaxed and lively, and the pranks are just right, making it easy to get into the drama; the second half of the plot unfolds at a good pace and has a two-line interspersed design. This prevents readers from feeling the plot is dragging out. The provocative part is well-measured. Although there are no big surprises, there is still a slight touch. If we look at a certain aspect, Natural Blood is far inferior to the OP, the plot design is not as good as the Hunter, and the characters may not be as impressive as Naruto, but the whole work can naturally attract people to read. Moreover, the hidden plot is very natural and the plot has strong coherence. At present, it seems that the author's creative ability is still on the rise. Advantage 4: Fighting This may not be considered an advantage, but it is my personal preference: I always feel that sword duel is the best. As long as I fight with a sword, I will not get bored, so I really like the soul-cutting sword used by the Shinigami.
Moreover, the fights designed by the author are very clean and neat, and fighting rarely drags out the scene (this also shows that the plot itself is relatively rich...)

2. Fate/stay
Mention "Fate/stay" night", the game's production company Type-Moon and the script author Nasu Nasu must not be mentioned. In Japan's Winter COMIKET in December 2000, "Tsukihime~Complete Edition~" was produced by Type-Moon, who was still a fan group at the time. 》on sale. The two souls of TM Agency, the script writer Nasu Nasu and the original artist Takashi Takeuchi, established the future style of Type-Moon.
The "Tsukihime" game in the form of an electronic novel, its clever text arrangement and story setting made people admire this fan group with admiration. It was not until 2003 that Type-Moon became well-known in the animation "Zhenzuki Tan Tsukihime" adapted by JC.STAFF. Although the animation itself greatly modified the original work and can be said to be a shoddy work, the animation played a vital role in the promotion of "Tsukihime".
In 2004, Type-Moon successfully transformed into a commercial company, and their first commercial work came out at this time. This shocking game is-"Fate/stay night" (Chinese Translated title: "Destiny/Waiting for Night"). "I came here in compliance with your call. From now on, my sword will depend on your life and death, and my destiny will be closely related to yours. At this point, the contract is completed." In January 2004, "Fate/stay night" came out and immediately topped the Galgame sales rankings in the first half of that year. Until 2005, the sales volume still ranked third on Amazon. The sequel "Fate/stay night" in October 2005 Fate/hollow ataraxia" also ranked first in Japan's AMAZON annual sales in just over a month.
The mysterious man Nasu:
There is not much information about Nasu himself, and he is a mysterious figure. His date of birth is unknown, and his birthday is rumored to be November 28, 1973. In Japan, men once only called themselves "male", which caused a lot of gender speculation. He has always written novels and scripts with a unique and obscure writing style. Behind each work is a huge world view (if you have the chance, students must read Nasu's masterpiece "Sky Realm"), so he later also There are many groups that study TM works. He is responsible for script writing at Type-Moon, and he and his junior high school friend and original animator Takashi Takeuchi are the core figures of Type-Moon.
"Magic" and "Magic" have to be distinguished:
In the world of magicians and familiars created by Nasu, "Magic" and "Magic" are Two terms that must be distinguished. "Magic" in Nasu's world refers to magic in our usual sense, and "magic" is synonymous with miracles. Only things that cannot be achieved by the power of magic can be called "magic". Therefore, Tohsaka Rin and others It should be called a "magician" rather than a "magician".

Story Introduction
The Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that can fulfill all wishes of the holder.
The Holy Grail War is a killing ritual to make the Holy Grail appear and capture it.
The seven magicians selected by the Holy Grail are called Masters. The seven heroic spirits selected by the Holy Grail are divided into seven classes, summoned as familiars, and are called Servants. Each Master formed a contract with one of the Servants and competed with other Masters and Servants for the Holy Grail. In other words, they had to get rid of other magicians and survive until the end to prove that they were the strongest. This is the Holy Grail War that took place in Fuyuki City.
The protagonist Shirou Emiya lost his family in a huge fire that occurred in Fuyuki City ten years ago. After he woke up, almost all his past memories were lost, and he The figure of the man he rescued from the fire, Emiya Kiritsugu, was forever imprinted in his mind. He vowed that when he grew up, he would become a "partner of justice" and save all those who suffered. . Therefore, after Emiya Kiritsugu adopted him and told him that he was a magician, he forced Kiritsugu to learn magic in order to realize his ideal. But because he had no talent, he still only learned one kind of magic after several years. Now, several years after Emiya Kiritsugu's death, he is still only a half-hearted magician.
And one day, Shirou was accidentally involved in a battle of Servants. Later, while escaping from pursuit, he somehow summoned the last Servant who had not been summoned in this Holy Grail War. The class Servant——Saber, and formed a contract with her. And then he discovered that the most beautiful girl in the academy, Tohsaka Rin, whom he had once admired, was actually a magician with one of the best abilities. She coldly told him: Unless he hides and lives alone, as long as he participates in the Holy Grail War, You can only choose between killing or being killed.
How can Shirou, a magician who doesn’t want to kill but only wants to save others, survive this killing ritual? Can he stop this killing as he wants? How should his ideal of fighting for justice be realized?
Character introduction
Emiya Shirou:
The protagonist is a half-hearted magician. He is considered a good person, and because he is good at repairing things, he is often asked to help by other students. Its Servant is Saber, who is known as the "Best Servant". (For others, please see the story introduction)
Saber:
Shirou’s Servant, although she looks like a petite girl only 154 centimeters tall, her own abilities are said to be among the Servants. The best among them. His character is rigid, upright, and not easily accommodating.
Rin Tosaka:
The heir to the Tosaka family, a famous magic family with a long history. Legend has it that the great master of the Tosaka family's ancestors was a magician, and the Tosaka family has been Fuyuki City for generations. Steward of the land. The most beautiful girl in Suiqunhara Academy, she is also very good at studies. She is very popular among male classmates and is also popular among female classmates. But only a few of her closest friends knew that she was actually a prankster and sarcastic little devil. Unlike Shirou, she was prepared to participate in the Holy Grail War from the beginning. His ability as a magician is very strong, and his Servant is Archer.

Tohsaka Rin’s Servant. Bi Lin can also be sarcastic, but he is also a realist, and his first goal is to let his Master win. He has very strong confidence in his own and Rin's abilities. Although he is a bow knight, he often goes up to fight with the opponent in close combat...
Illya:
Full name Ili Illyasveil Von Einzbern, with silver hair and red eyes, reminds people of a girl of ice and snow. He is the Berserker—the Master of Berserker. Although he looks ice-like on the outside, his personality is actually quite innocent. As the story progresses, I meet Shirou... a
Berserker:
Illya's Servant. Ability is greatly strengthened at the cost of losing rationality. If Saber is the best Servant, then he is the most powerful Servant.
Lancer:
No one knows who his Master is. He is a man with a very bold and upright personality. For him, the most important thing about becoming a Servant is not getting the Holy Grail, but fighting happily. Although he is rough and shows no mercy to his enemies, he is also very loyal to his beliefs.
Fujimura Taiga:
Although she is a girl, she has a very masculine name like Fujimura Taiga. She is the head teacher of Shirou's class, teaches English, is the consultant of the Kyudo Club, has a dan in kendo, and is known as the "Tiger of Fuyuki" (but she hates this title very much). After Kiritsugu's death, she took care of Shirou, who called her "Fuji-nee".

Kotomine Kirei:
Although he is a priest, he is also a magician. He was sent to Fuyuki City to serve as the supervisor of the Holy Grail War. He has a sense of oppression that a priest does not have. Rather than being a clergyman who guides the lost, he is better said to be the King of Hell who judges sin.
Emiya Kiritsugu:
Emiya Shirou’s adoptive father saved Shirou from a fire ten years ago and adopted him. Later, he could not withstand Shirou’s hard work and became a child. Taught him magic. He is an anonymous magician who does not associate with the Magic Association. Even Tohsaka Rin, the manager of Fuyuki City, does not know of his existence.
He often leaves Shirou alone and travels around the world. In Shirou's impression, he was always like a big kid, kind-hearted and smiling. Died five years ago at the age of thirty-four.
Kuzuki Soichiro:
The homeroom teacher of Tohsaka Rin's class and the teacher of world history and ethics. He has a meticulous personality like a robot. He once had to suspend the entire midterm exam and retake it on another day just because of a typo on the test paper.

Like a bold and generous boy. The famous saying is: "How can a beauty not learn martial arts!"
Kaede Shidera:
One of the three girls in the track and field club in Tohsaka Rin's class. His specialty is sprinting, and he is known as the "Black Panther of Sui Gunhara". He and Rin Tosaka are friends who occasionally go shopping together. Her personality is too careless to be like that of a girl, and she often speaks in an unguarded manner, a typical funny character. Her hobby is collecting wind chimes, and Tohsaka Rin commented on her as "a Japanese beauty who is very suitable for wearing a kimono."
Himuro Bell:
One of the three women. The event I am good at is high jump. A typical rational girl with glasses who has a steady personality and analyzes everything first.
Saegashi Yukika:
One of the three women. Athletics Manager. Although her appearance is not very beautiful, her cute smile can make people around her feel warm and at ease. As a result, although Tohsaka Rin does not hate her, she has to keep a distance to avoid exposing her true nature too easily in front of her.
Term explanation and story background introduction
Magician: The magician here is actually the magician we usually talk about. But there are only five magics in the world today. They are all great methods that connect to the source of mystery and are synonymous with miracles. And a magic can only be passed down to one magic user. The rest can only be called magic.
Command Spell: The three "absolute command rights" given to the Master by the Holy Grail over Servants are engraved on the body in the form of blood-red "stigma". There are three strokes on the ***, each stroke is equivalent to one Command Seals, when you use a Command Seal, it disappears in one stroke. When all the Command Seals disappear, the magician loses his binding force on the Servant, and also loses his contract with the Servant, and is no longer the Master. Taking the command spells of the same Master as an example, a clear and direct command with a short duration is more powerful than an ambiguous, complex command with a long duration. A command spell with weak binding force may be ineffective or weakened by a powerful Servant. The effect, of course, is that orders that are too impossible will be ineffective. Command Seals can not only be used to restrain Servants, but can also be used to enhance Servants' abilities. Although the Command Spell is a magic crystal given by the Holy Grail, even if the Master is weak, the Command Spell has considerable power. However, the stronger the Master's ability, the stronger the effect of the Command Spell.
Magic Association: A self-defense (of course only in name) group formed by those who study magic. Responsible for the management and concealment of magic. It was for this reason that Overseers were sent to oversee the Holy Grail War. In the early days of its establishment, it was divided into three departments: London's "Clock Tower", Egypt's "Giant's Crypt" (i.e. Atlas Academy, which specializes in alchemy, and Sion, the alchemist in the fighting game Melty Blood in the Tsukihime series). (from here), and the "Wandering Sea", a composite association with influence across Northern Europe. Later, the "Clock Tower" became the headquarters, and the three parties have no contact with each other. Because the foundation of magic in the Middle East is Chinese ideological magic, which is incompatible with the Magic Association, both sides are preventing the other from invading.
Supervisor: A supervisor sent by the Magic Association to supervise the progress of the Holy Grail War, restrain the Master from doing anything too harmful, deal with the aftermath for the Master, and also provide protection for the Master who has lost his qualifications.
Manager: A magician who manages a piece of land, usually hereditary from the local magic family. Simply put, he is a disguised landowner. When foreign magicians want to stay on a land, they must "mean something" to the administrator. However, Emiya Kiritsugu did not abide by this rule and instead hid his magician ability, so the Tohsaka family did not know of his existence.
Workshop: A laboratory owned by magicians.
Heroic Spirit: A person who has made great achievements while still a human and reached the realm of elves as a human. (The elves here do not refer to Elf, but a supernatural existence. ) turned into a heroic spirit after his death and became an existence separated from the timeline. There is also a kind of heroic spirit. Although it has not actually existed, its legend is extremely widespread and well-known, so it has become an "imaginary heroic spirit".
Noble Phantasm: The weapons and props possessed by the heroic spirit. Contains powerful magic. The Noble Phantasm is activated with the "true name" spoken by its holder as the key. However, since the servants were once heroes, their deeds may be widely known. When the enemy knows the true name of the Noble Phantasm, they may even know which hero they are, what their abilities are, and what their weaknesses are. Therefore, never use it unless necessary. For this reason, a Master who knows his servant's real name will never address him by his real name, but only by his rank name. Therefore, the rank name has a double meaning: it not only represents the rank, but also is the "pseudonym" of the Servant in the real world.
Class: The Holy Grail is set up to make it easier for heroic spirits to appear in the world. There can only be one hero per class in a Holy Grail War.
The seven classes are:
Sword Knight: Saber
Spear Knight: Lancer
Bow Knight: Archer
Cavalry: Rider
Magician: Caster
Assassin: Assassin
Berserker: Berserker
Introduction and comments on the original work
Fate/stay night, the original work is a text AVG game produced by Japan's Type Moon Company. You must have heard of Type Moon. In 2000, when they were just a fan club, they released a fan game: "Tsukihime". (The fanfic here does not refer to derivatives of the original work, but "informal commercial") This text AVG, with its suspenseful story, delicate and unique world view, sad but redemptive ending , making people ignore the roughness of the production. (In fact, in terms of the standard of fan works, it is not low...) In 2003, JC.STAFF adapted it into the animation "Zhenzuki Tanzukihime". Although due to production cost issues, the action scenes were simplified, and due to The supervisor's deletion of the plot almost completely failed to show Tsukihime's unique world view, so it suffered a lot of criticism. But even so, Tsukihime has become more widely known, and there are many people who play the original game after watching the anime.
After Type Moon turned into a commercial company, they released their first commercial game "Fate/stay night" (hereinafter referred to as Fate) on January 30, 2004. The script was still written by Yue Hime's playwright - Nasu Nasu is in charge. (The KO sound at the end of Nasu's name may make people misunderstand that it is the word "子" that only Japanese women have, making people think that Nasu is a woman. However, in fact, the meaning of "Nasu" is the Japanese character for "velvet", which means It’s a mushroom. This can be seen from the fact that Nasu has always used a mushroom head as his self-portrait.) The style is also different from Tsukihime. It can be said that Fate is a story that revolves around "faith". Different People have different but identical understandings of the belief of "justice", and the collision of various beliefs forms Fate.
In Fate, the male protagonist is not a loser or a loser. Although there are three routes, it can be said that during the game, you don't have the real sense of "Who am I going to chase?", but gradually... He knew everything about her and her thoughts, and later vowed to be her support, which seemed to come naturally and naturally. As legendary heroes, several Servants have unique personalities that are also very fascinating. And before its identity is revealed, guessing which figure in legend or myth it is is even more interesting for friends who like myths and legends.
In addition, Fate’s descriptions of battles are also extremely gorgeous and passionate. The game engine uses animation to process the storyboards, coupled with the cooperation of sound effects and BGM, making each battle more exciting. The scenes can be called an audio-visual feast, and some of them are even more addictive and amazing. Until now, whenever I hear the BGM songs in the OST, my blood boils unconsciously.
Therefore, this animation adaptation puts a lot of pressure on the producers. Due to the proportion of fighting scenes, if it is simplified, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the audience. There are also two extremely exquisite opening animations produced by Dragon Son for Fate. Although most viewers also understand that the production difficulty and cost of two one-and-a-half-minute opening animations are the same as those of a dozen or twenty chapters. TV animations of several chapters are not comparable, but it is inevitable to be compared.
However, with the failure of Zhen Yue Tan, Type Moon is directly involved in animation production this time. The quality of the preview of the TV animation released on November 23 is still very high. I believe that in January 2006, we will see a work that will not disappoint us.
3. Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam is Japan's most famous animation series produced by SUNRISE. The first work "Mobile Suit Gundam" (also known as "Mobile Suit Gundam") "The First Generation of Gundam") was broadcast on April 7, 1979, and the latest "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY" is still being broadcast. Up to now, the Gundam animated series has launched 10 TV versions, 4 OVA works and about 10 movie versions. In addition, it has also launched 3D movies and CG movies jointly produced by Japan and the United States. He has published a large number of novels, comics, etc., and enjoys a high reputation in Japan and overseas. From April 2003 to March 2004, Bandai's annual sales of Gundam-related products reached 54.2 billion yen. (Note: Gundam, the original Japanese text is "ガンダム", the English name is "GUNDAM", Hong Kong is translated as "Gundam", Taiwan is translated as "Gundam", and Bandai Company's promotion in mainland China is translated as "Gundam".) p>
Bandai and SUNRISE, which own the copyright of Gundam, really launched Gundam into overseas markets in 1997. In fact, as early as 1997, businessmen in Hong Kong and other places began to sell Gunpla models obtained through underground channels. Due to their neglect and unfamiliarity with overseas markets, Bandai and SUNRISE were not previously aware that Gundam's "overseas business" was actually going on quietly. In order to protect the value of the Gundam brand, Bandai and Sunrise, sensing the crisis, quickly formulated a special overseas business plan, which can be summarized in one sentence as "promoting models and other products through the broadcast of TV programs"
