My Animation Era

Saturday, November 27th.

After some not-so-friendly communication, Jiangchuan TV and Wanbao Animation made peace and decided to continue their previous translation cooperation.

This also means that the Chinese version of the anime "Sailor Moon R" can continue to be broadcast.

Director Shen still took a step back.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the audience. After all, he was too harsh and the scolding on Weibo was so unpleasant!

No one likes to be scolded!

After strong appeal from the audience, the Mandarin version of "Sailor Moon R" was not only resumed, but also updated with two episodes at once.

Great!

In the latest two episodes of animation, Little Rabbit has been on the lips, and the often mentioned "Xiao Ming" has finally been unveiled.

Sailor Moon, the first warrior from the outer solar system to appear in the entire series, Sailor Pluto, makes her debut!

All right……

In fact, he didn't appear, he was just mentioned by Little Rabbit. After all, this guy is different from Xiaotu and the others. They live on the distant Pluto, so it's not easy to see him.

But mention is enough.

Excited viewers have already begun to fantasize about whether the next season of the "Sailor Moon" anime will feature Pluto, Neptune and Uranus as the protagonists?

This is not a random thought!

As we all know, in addition to animation, the "Sailor Moon" series also includes live-action dramas and comics.

And the comics are updated quickly...

In the comic version, it has been updated to the "Top Ten Warriors of the Solar System" version.

That is, in addition to the old five-person group of the moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus, there is also a new five-person group consisting of the small moon, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn.

Let’s not talk about the comic plot for now.

Audiences who have watched the two anime "Sailor Moon" and "Sailor Moon R" know that although they are adaptations of the same name, the difference between the animated version and the manga version is really big.

Even if the plot is original and magically modified, sometimes even the "protagonist's character" can be modified.

Therefore.

Everyone is looking forward to how the production team will adapt the four warriors of the "outer solar system" in the animated version, namely Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto?

There is a popular saying on the Internet.

In "Sailor Moon" and "Sailor Moon R", it can be clearly seen that Usagi and "Water, Fire, Wood, and Gold" are a golden combination.

Now "Little Bunny" appears!

So... in the subsequent third and fourth seasons of animation, will it be Little Rabbit who will be the captain and lead Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto to form the second generation of the "golden combination"?

It's not impossible.

Everyone even speculated that after "Sailor Moon R" ends, Usagi will probably marry Mamoru, and the other four warriors will retire one after another.

Starting from the third season, the protagonist becomes Little Rabbit, the daughter of Little Rabbit.

This seems reasonable!

…

“I have to say that this year’s netizens are quite imaginative and their ideas are quite novel.”

Gu Miao glanced at the comment section of the Wanbao video website, the anime "Sailor Moon R", and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaotu and the Four Warriors retire? They really dare to think about it!"

retire?

How to retire?

Sailor Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus want to retire, but the question is, can they retire?

Once these five people retire, the value of the entire "Sailor Moon" IP will be reduced by half, or even more!

even though……

The popularity of Little Moon and the Four Warriors of the Outer Solar System is not low, and can even be called popular.

But who would watch "Sailor Moon" without the old five supporting the show? Does anyone really think that the new five-member group can support the ratings?

All I can say is, it’s so naive!

The IP of "Sailor Moon" has gone through ups and downs for decades, and the only unbeatable C-positions are Tsukino Usagi and the four warriors of "Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal".

Don't look at the "Four Warriors of the Outer Solar System", the "Sailor Quartet", and the Golden Osmanthus Galaxy...

There are a lot of messed up Sailor Senshis, and it looks like they have strength in numbers, which is great.

But it's actually useless.

The Sailor Senshi that really attracts, or rather keeps fans, has never changed, it has always been the "old five".

Believe it or not?

Once one day, the protagonist of the animation is replaced, this IP will be completely cool, and no one will watch or pay attention to it?

Only netizens dare to say retirement.

In Gu Miao's view, as long as "Sailor Moon" continues to produce sequels and has loyal audiences, Tsukino Usagi and Mamoru will have no chance of "getting married", and the four warriors will have no chance of retiring.

Just like Conan in "Detective Conan" or Nobita in "Doraemon", he spends his life working for others.

retire? Take a shower and go to sleep!

Scanning around the comment area, except for a few eye-catching trolls, Gu Miao didn't see any valuable comments. Gu Miao shook her head and put away her phone.

no problem.

The basics of "Sailor Moon R" are so solid that even if Jiangchuan TV really stops broadcasting the Mandarin version, the Japanese version will still be played.

This actually relieved him.

Before that, he was worried about a problem. That is, the audience has been fed up with the "Mandarin dubbing" and cannot accept the "Japanese dubbing" original version.

In this case, next year's "Sailor Moon S" may be more difficult to handle.

Now it seems that the impact is not big.

It is true that some viewers said that they would not watch the show without the Mandarin dubbing, but there are still few such people, and most of them are just booing.

The end of the year is approaching.

After the completion of "The Little Master of China" and "The Three Jelly Musketeers", the only animations still broadcast by Wanbao Animation on the TV platform are "Sailor Moon R" and "Pokémon".

Of course, Gu Miao was talking about "premiere broadcast".

If it were replayed, there would be more. In addition to the just-finished "Little Master of China", many "old animations" are also being replayed.

For example...

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" Season 1 and Season 2 "Sheep and Goat Games"!

It's really outrageous.

It's been three years, and some "county and city-level" TV stations are still broadcasting these two animations endlessly.

What’s even more outrageous is…

Even though it has been replayed hundreds of times, and even though the plot is familiar to everyone, the ratings are still pretty good.

Gu Miao had nothing to say.

It can only be said that fortunately "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is an animation produced by his own company. If this was the work of a colleague, he would have to say the famous line: I can't breathe!

Just a joke.

An animation that was produced three years ago is still being replayed today, and there are still people watching it in front of the TV. This is a very scary thing.

However……

Is it precisely because of such a terrifying animation that when its theatrical version is about to be released, theaters and distributors are not very optimistic about the box office prospects?

Yes, that's right!

When Gu Miao went to negotiate with distributors and seek film arrangement from theaters with sincerity, she was not as popular as expected.
