"RUBY Ice and Snow Empire"

 ・Recommend anime Impressions

It may be correct to call it a remake of RUBY, a CG animation that has gained popularity overseas, with a Japanese staff.

Originally, the original animation was produced with Japanese animation in mind, and it is an animation full of action.

The main character, Ruby, enters a school to become a hunter.

Her older sister, a former rebel army beast ear, and a daughter of a hunter family gather there to form her team.

I thought that school life would start from there, but the school life was drawn until the first three episodes, and from there on, a certain character was possessed by a dream-devouring monster, and he had to save it. Then, it becomes a story of going in and out of dreams and going back and forth in her dreams.

I thought that the dream part would end after two or three episodes, but the dream part continued until just before the final episode, and almost the entire story was devoted to the dream story.

I don't know if this is how the original works, or if they plan to continue producing this animation over a long span, but I didn't think that almost the entire story would end up being a dream battle. It's honestly a boring anime.

The dream world is the same, the action is not always amazing, and the dream world created by the girl's depressed thoughts fights to save the girl.

I spent about 10 episodes on it.

Tired.

It was an anime that made me want to praise myself that I watched it well until the end.

A man spoke in front of people about the true state of the Democratic Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea.

The Park family, who immigrated to Pyongyang from Japan with a migration plan, lived with a strict father, a kind mother, a cheerful Johann boy, and a younger sister.

Unbeknownst to Johann, his father was thinking of defecting from North Korea and was gathering allies.

Then one day his father disappeared.

Johann, his mother, and his sister, who became the family of a political prisoner, were searched in the house, and after that, they packed up their belongings and put them on a truck.

Without knowing where they would take me, I was brought along with others to a forced labor zone where people driven to the brink of death live inside the gates.

They were given a small house with bare soil, and from the next day onwards they were given their respective roles, women doing field work and side jobs, and Johann being a man, even children were made to do coal digging.

They weren't even given enough food, and the people around them were on the brink of starvation.

In such an environment, Johann's mother took over Insu, whose mother was executed by firing squad, and the four of them continued to live together for eight years, and Johann and Insu grew up splendidly.

However, Johan gradually turned to the side of the regime and turned to the side of prosecuting those who violated it.

As a result, he was able to receive more food than the average person, but his mother and sister could not forgive Johann's act of selling out his companions.

Meanwhile, an incident occurs.

Johann's mother was stabbed by an old woman who had lost her husband after being tipped off by Johann.

Unable to accept his mother's death, Johann becomes half-dead, unable to serve as an informant, and is repelled by the regime, leaving him alone.

Just as he realizes that he must live, this time his younger sister is raped by a man who acts as a watchman.

As a result of this, Insu was accused of attacking the man who was the watchman and was taken to the underground prison.

Then she finds out that her sister is pregnant.

I knew.

I knew how unreasonable North Korea was and how it disregarded human rights.

The director of this work has been interviewing North Korean defectors for 10 years and completed this work, probably because there are some people who can't give their names.

this really happened.

It's not a lie.

Considering that this is still going on, I want to do something about it.

However, the walls of the country are big, and even if I try to do something, in the end I return to being unable to do anything.

At least I want people who don't know this movie to know the truth.

That's my only wish.

・Recommended anime stories

Twelve years have passed since the second Neo Zeon conflict, and the pollution of the earth has become even more serious.

The Earth Federation government was dissatisfied with its plan to forcibly immigrate humans to space. An anti-Earth Federation organization was born.

Because the person named Mufti Nabiyu Erin was the leader, it was called Mufti in the world.

One day, there was a shuttle that descended to Earth.

There are government officials scheduled to attend the conference, and Hathaway Noah is on board to go down to Earth as a botanist's apprentice.

Of course, due to his father's contribution, he was riding first class.

In addition, the person who stood out the most in this seat was a girl named Gigi Andalusia.

It was Colonel Kenneth Sleg, who was appointed to subdue Mufti, who was courting her, who was neither a relative of a high official nor her identity, and was obsessed with her Andalusia.

Just as the shuttle was about to enter the atmosphere, a group of people calling themselves Mufti took the high-ranking officials hostage and made a request to the government.

The goal was money.

The shooting of one of the officers causes panic on the plane, and after Hathaway disposes of the body, various voices come to his ears, saying that it's not the real Mufti, and that voice has disappeared. Just when I thought, Andalusia also shouted that it wasn't the real Mufti, Hathaway defeated the people who called themselves Mufti and headed for the cockpit.

However, he was saved by Colonel Kenneth when he was about to be shot.

When Colonel Kenneth comes down to Earth, he notices Hathaway and brings up what happened 12 years ago, but only Honeycomb says Hathaway was a coincidence.

In addition, Andalusia liked Hathaway, and he stayed in the same room as her, and he was allowed to stay because the government was still waiting for a hearing.

A few days later, one night, when Mufti's mobile suit flew through the sky and was fighting the Federation's new Gundam, Hathaway took Andalusia and fled the city.

But this Mufti raid was only part of the plan.

Opinion as a science fiction fan who is watching.

What I write here is my personal opinion as the administrator of this blog.

It was too prologue, and there was something missing as a movie.

This work also appears in the masterpiece "Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack" recognized by Gundam fans, and is a novel of the same name featuring Hathaway Noah, the son of Bright Noah, an Earth Federation soldier who is a demanding figure from the first Gundam. This is the first filmed work of

Hathaway appeared in this work in the form of inheriting the intentions of Amuro Ray, who was called a hero, and Char Aznable, who was called charismatic, but the story reveals whether there is anything wrong with Hathaway. It has been visualized up to that point, and a sequel is coming after this.

So, I think that there are many parts that people who have only seen this work can not follow the story.

Gundam fans of yesteryear seem to call this work a festival, but personally, looking at it calmly, I didn't think it was a work that was that exciting.

However, if you don't watch Char's Counterattack as a preliminary step, it's a movie where you can't see what Hathaway feels about Andalusia, why Hathaway takes such actions, and what it means.

This may be the result of trying to make a movie properly without flattering.

So without a sequel, we may not know what this film means.

Recommended Anime: History's Strongest Demon King, Reincarnated as Villager A

Anime Recommendation Summary

The man Varvatos, who was once called the Demon King, killed his friends, lost his friends one after another, and couldn't stand loneliness, so he chose the path of reincarnation himself.

He reincarnated as a villager named Ard Meteor and his childhood friend, the elf Irina.

Ginny, the succubus he helped at the magic school.

Sylphy, a brave girl who has been training in a dungeon with a different flow of time since the era of the Demon King to defeat the Demon King, and has led a turbulent school life.

However, the story takes a sudden turn when Ard, Irina, and Ginny are sent on a carriage on their way to a school trip by a boy who claims to be God during the Demon King era, and is told to defeat that thing.

Working together with his own army in his previous life, he reunited with Lydia, the demon king who died in agony in his previous life, and met himself as the demon king in his previous life, but history was rewritten.

Another person called the Demon King appears, Varvatos is not called the Demon King, and Lydia's fate, which should have been cursed, changes.

When Ard comes face-to-face with the person who calls himself the Demon King who changed history, he is shocked to learn that it is the grown-up Ard from another world.

At first, I thought that the story would continue as it is as a school story, but in the second half, I was surprised that the story suddenly shifted to overcoming my own trauma in the past.

Moreover, the opponent to be defeated is another person, who is on a different time axis.

It is also surprising that SF elements are included here.

I thought it was a reincarnation to the future, which is popular these days, but I feel that it has changed into an anime that is worth watching because it has changed to a different color all at once.

There's still a lot we don't know about the identity of the masked man and the god who are acting behind the scenes, and since it ended with the usual foreshadowing of the reincarnation story, if it becomes popular, there will be a second season. deaf.

However, it is also true that anime viewers are getting tired of reincarnation, so expectations for the second season may be low.

People just admired the beauty of the bubbles without knowing what they were.

After that, Tokyo was covered with a huge bubble, the gravity became unstable, and many scientists visited Tokyo, the epicenter, to investigate what it was.

But no result.

Neither the identity of the bubbles nor the current situation where only Tokyo is covered with bubbles remains unknown.

People abandoned Tokyo and fled.

At some point, Tokyo was no longer the capital of Japan.

However, people lived in such Tokyo.

Those who lost their parents, those who search for relatives.

The people were fighting over food and were enthusiastic about a certain sport.

It was parkour.

This work, which was produced by the people who lead the Japanese animation world, will be released in advance on Netflix, and then released in theaters.

This work is based on the theme of the mermaid princess, and on the contrary, it is based on the idea that the mermaid princess does not become a bubble, but the bubble falls in love and becomes a mermaid princess.

Beautiful scenery and beautiful character designs.

I think that it has become the best image beauty that the Japanese animation world can make now.

However, there are many points that need explanation.

why parkour?

How do people who do parkour live if they don't win?

What is the identity of the bubble?

Well, there are things that I can imagine, and there are things that make me want to ask for an explanation.

At the time of distribution, the reputation was not so good, but I think it was a movie that I could personally like.

In the future Earth, mankind lives underground due to an enemy clan from outer space.

The hope of such humanity was four turtles.

The Turtles have grown up, retained their unique abilities, and continued to fight clans.

However, humanity is clearly outnumbered, and as a last resort, Turtle leader Leonardo decides to send Casey, who is also his disciple, into the past with Michelangelo's ability to destroy the key to the gate before the clan comes.

The two who sent Casey out were killed by the clan.

Casey, who came to the present age, wanders around town without knowing where the key is, but when she senses that her young mentors are there, she rushes to meet them.

However, the Turtles, who were still teenagers, were not cooperative with each other, and especially Leonardo, whom Casey respected, had an arrogant personality, believing that he could do anything on his own.

As a result, he constantly quarrels with his eldest Raphael, much to Casey's dismay.

It is the latest original animated movie of the Mutant Turtles.

The Mutant Turtles series is a group of works with which I am familiar and deeply attached, starting with the trilogy in the 90's that I personally made into a movie in costume, full CG live-action movies in recent years, and animation in the old days.

The Mutant Turtles themselves have a long history, and have become popular since the comic was first published, and have become a hot topic in various crossovers in comics, and have been animated many times.

This work is a sequel to the latest series of such an anime series, and the interpretation is also very different from the previous ones.

First of all, the appearance of the Turtles has a strong individuality, and only Raphael has a rough appearance.

Also, April has become a person of color, and Splinter has been changed to a somewhat goofy master.

The big change would be abilities.

The Turtles that have been drawn so far have fought with hand-to-hand combat and machines, but this time we can see them fighting with supernatural powers, and the movie also focuses on what to do if it is stolen. ing.

The setting after defeating the shredder and the setting of the clan are places that you can't keep up with if you're a Turtles fan and have watched the anime series, but the production that is conscious of Japanese animation is also added, and personally I think it's an interesting anime movie.

This work is a movie version of the world view, which is the third work of the BLOOD series.

The main character of the first work is a girl with a sword in a sailor suit who fights monsters at a US military base. , In this third work, the world view is changed again, and although it is a world view of school stories and monster extermination at night, in fact, they are all false, and this movie will be the final version that confronts the mastermind Bunjin.

If you haven't seen the TV series, there are parts that you won't understand, but since most of the characters are original only for the movie version, it's a movie that you can manage to keep up with.

The visuals, such as the sailor suit and the sword, which are symbols of Japanese culture, are common, and there are only media mix works that have been drawn with a completely different worldview, and the quality is also evolving.

The drawing and story of this third installment was handled by the girls' manga production group CLAMP, and the structure and characters of the story are something fans will immediately understand.

If it's just a movie, there's a gap in quality, but you can see that they had a hard time composing the story in order to fit it into the two-hour frame.

To be honest, I think it was impossible to draw the backbone of the characters that appear in the movie version.

If you are a fan watching from TV, it is a natural work to see, and CLAMP fans are also satisfied with the movie, but it is a work that seems to be quite unreasonable to use this as an entrance.

Anime Recommendation: Uncle from Another World Impressions

 ・Recommend anime Impressions

I was worried because it was a topic from before.

Originally published on Twitter and pixiv, the original manga was published as a web comic, and it became popular on the Internet.

A certain famous game live commentary group was also talking about this work, so I thought it was a popular work, but as a work to be animated, it falls into a surprisingly small category with 1.5 million copies.

The story begins in 2000, when my uncle, who had been in a coma for 17 years due to a traffic accident, suddenly woke up in 2017. I was thinking that my nephew Takafumi went crazy when he brought welfare documents about the future.

His uncle spoke a language he didn't understand, and when he tried to submit welfare documents there, Takafumi used magic to show him, so Takafumi ripped up the documents and decided to take over his uncle.

In this way, the story is constructed by taking advantage of reincarnation.

In other words, instead of reincarnating and going to the world of swords and magic, it is a work that develops a story full of gags after returning.

She was reincarnated in 2000 due to a traffic accident, so the reincarnated woman, who had never known the tsundere trend that started around 2004 and thought she was a disgusting woman, clearly had a crush on her uncle.

In addition, due to her appearance, her uncle has a tough and cowardly life, even though he has been mistreated in another world.

Also, in the real world, Sega was still releasing hardware in the 2000s, and my uncle is a Sega fan, so when it comes to Sega, I get excited.

It seems that this kind of place was received by core fans and led to the animation.

Just by watching the first episode, my uncle, who has a lot of bad parts as a person, and Takafumi, who is a modern child, make full use of YouTube and other things to live. .

While the 2022 summer anime started one after another, the first thing I saw was this anime.

To be honest, it's a reincarnated genre, so although it's a genre that I'm already tired of as content, the lines of light novels, manga, and anime have already been built, and a few are sure to be in each cool genre. For the time being, I saw what was being delivered.

This work is an animation of a system in which a man who worked at a black company noticed that he was reincarnated in the world of swords and magic.

It's an anime with a setting that I remember seeing somewhere.

In addition, he has reincarnated as a demon messenger and tamer, and his first friend was slime.

In the library that arrived at the invitation of the slime, with the magical knowledge gained by many slimes and slimes, the main character Yuji quickly gets the title of wise man.

This is also a setting I remember seeing somewhere.

Then he goes on a journey as an adventurer, but in the first episode, he encounters a monster during a mission to get herbs, and easily releases and defeats magic through slime.

Then, tens of thousands of monsters rush to the town where I returned.

Yuji proposes to protect the city with a huge explosion magic cultivated from the fangs of the dragon, and the people of the city accept the proposal.

However, the appearance of the demon swarm was an intended plot.

Perhaps the hero will confront the organization that released the monster, but since the story begins in the middle, that is, when the hero goes on an adventure and already has a fellow monster, he comes to another world. The story will be a recollection.

The drawing is not very beautiful, so it seems to be a good anime to watch only for those who are interested.

RUBY

 ・ Recommended anime

As a 3DCG animation that spans 106 episodes from 2013, "RUBY" produced overseas is a web animation inspired by Japanese animation.

The action is from "Black Rock Shooter".

The story is said to have been inspired by "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann".

The project became popular in the first phase, and then animations were produced until the sixth phase.

This anime became popular in Japan, with subtitles by volunteers, and it became possible to enjoy it in Japanese as well.

The story is a world view based on a picture book of a toddler, but in a world where the monster "Grimm" is infested, the story is that "Hunter" exterminates "Grimm", and the main character Ruby moves forward with his friends to become a hunter. It's a story that goes on.

In response to this, Japan has created its own animation under the title of "Ice and Snow Empire".

Gen Urobuchi was appointed as the original draft, Tow Ubukata was appointed as the series composition, and many Japanese creators were adopted, and the quality is definitely finished.

It was said that the original animation was based on "Black Rock Shooter", so the action scene is rarely seen in recent years, even in Japan.

In addition, there are many depictions of girls who collide with each other with bare emotions, probably because Gen Urobuchi is involved, and it is unknown whether this depicts a figure that is united as a team, or whether it is going to die while colliding.

It is a famous story that the character dies when the emptiness is involved, so will this animation be the same?

Also, since it is a play that is comicalized as a media mix and is also suitable for games, it may be made into a game.

Anyway, in the current anime industry, there is no other anime of such quality.
