After listening to the song Xiao Wei sang on the TV, the Yoshioka family of three turned off the TV without saying anything. They continued to watch the cartoon subconsciously. Maybe in their eyes, because Xiao Wei sang the theme song, the cartoon was like Xiao Wei's work. The whole family wanted to see what such a work was like. Sample! Even Xiao Wei herself subconsciously wanted to watch more cartoons like this! Soon, after the theme song ended, there was an "interface" that Japanese cartoons often have - the names of various sponsoring manufacturers were specially listed. This can be considered a very special feature of Japanese cartoons or TV series. For TV series in other countries, such as China, the manufacturer that sponsors the TV series may require a logo behind the end of the film - such as "The costumes of the characters in this show are provided by xxx brand", or simply display it on the TV. Related products look like built-in advertisements.
The United States and South Korea are similar. They relatively rarely place advertisements in the subtitles after the program. When they do, it is just a simple "thank you", and more of them use various product placements. For example, the cars and computers used by the protagonists will display their trademarks. If the trademarks are displayed, isn't that an embedded advertisement? Maybe a play is sponsored by Chevrolet, then all the cars in the play are Chevrolets, and after parking, there will be a Chevrolet logo on the front of the car. This is normal. But Japan rarely uses this method. In such a strange island country, acknowledgments are not placed in the last subtitles. But after the theme song or something ends. Before the main film starts. A page with the word "Provided" appears, with the names of several manufacturers written on it. This is considered acknowledgment!
After the "provision" is over, the real drama of such a cartoon is finally about to begin. The first picture that appeared was a shot of a city in the desert. Such a city still looks very lively, with children playing on the streets and various stores doing business on the streets. It seems that the overall era background is not very old. Xiao Wei's parents have never read any "Fullmetal Alchemist" novels or comics, and this is their first time coming into contact with a story like "Fullmetal Alchemist". So they find it very novel. Soon after the children finished playing, two people, one tall and one short, appeared in the camera. They ordered two drinks on the bar outside a snack bar, and then at this moment, The owner's antique radio somehow fell off the cabinet and broke instantly.
Then I saw a tall man in armor who was about to help the shop owner repair such a radio. He drew a circle on the ground with chalk, then drew a six-pointed star, and then placed the radio like this Inside a magic circle. Then he seemed to be reciting some incantation, and then he patted the magic circle he had just drawn with his hands. Suddenly such a radio was repaired! At that time, the shop owner was so moved that he quickly asked these two people if they were the legendary alchemists!
At this point, the two of them admitted it. Then there is the introduction of such a world in the animation - this is an alchemist's fantasy world. In such a world, as long as you follow the principle of equivalent exchange, you can alchemy and make all kinds of things. thing. For example, turning sand into glass, absorbing various iron elements from the ground, and then alchemizing it into a weapon! However, in such a world, alchemists usually need to draw an alchemy circle before they can activate alchemy. However, in such a fantasy world, some people can perform alchemy without using an alchemy circle. , like the short protagonist is one of them!
Such an introduction quickly focused the attention of the family of three on such a small, yellow-haired protagonist. In such a cartoon, the protagonist Huang Mao is not very tall, and at the same time he is also unsmiling. On the other hand, such a tall and big brother spends all day trying to make his brother laugh. Although I don¡¯t know why the two brothers¡¯ personalities are so different from their body shapes, I have to say that this still has a dramatic effect, at least that¡¯s what Xiao Wei¡¯s parents think! Soon, the protagonist and the two heard something. It seemed that the lord of such a city could actually resurrect the dead! This suddenly made the two brothers suspicious, because in their understanding, it is absolutely impossible to succeed in human body cultivation! If you want to succeed, unless you have a magical thing - the Philosopher's Stone!
With such a suspicion, they temporarily lived in such a city, and then met a girl. Such a girl's lover died, and she wanted her lover to live again no matter what, so she went to beg such a lord. Especially after seeing the lord kill a dead bird in public.After what happened, she was even more convinced that the lord could resurrect her lover. However, the protagonist brothers persuaded the girl with doubts that it is basically impossible to resurrect life, especially when the human body is regenerated. Of course, the girl didn't believe it, so she ran to the lord for help. At this time, the two protagonists also doubted whether the lord had the Philosopher's Stone, so they followed her.
Who knew that a lord behind the scenes had already told the girl something? It seemed that the protagonists, the alchemists of the country, would represent the powerful forces and steal all the Philosopher's Stones from the lords, so the protagonists were set up! Then a lord used the Philosopher's Stone to change the ground into a sandy ground where alchemy arrays cannot be drawn, and at the same time released various beasts to attack the protagonist. But who knew that the protagonist would actually pull out a metal two-handed sword from the ground as soon as he put his hands together and touched the ground! The protagonist can activate alchemy to make it without using an alchemy array at all! Such a situation immediately stunned the lord. At this moment, the tigers and eagles released by the lord before also tore one of the protagonist's trouser legs and one sleeve into pieces. Only then did everyone notice that one of the protagonist's arms and legs were made of metal!
At this time, the protagonist said to the girl with wide eyes that this was the reason why they told her before that they could not resurrect the dead, because they had tried human body refining, but the result was that they could not resurrect the people they wanted to resurrect. , but his limbs were even taken away! Then of course there will be a big battle! As a result, during the battle, it was discovered that the younger brother who was tall and wearing armor was not wearing armor at all, but just armor! Such a younger brother and his elder brother were trying to resurrect the dead mother's human body during the process of refining it. The younger brother lost his body and only his soul remained, while the older brother lost an arm and a leg! With no other choice, the elder brother placed his younger brother's soul in such an armor. It looked like the younger brother was walking around in armor!
When the plot progressed to this point, the Yoshioka couple were a little shocked! In their impression, although animation has a certain youth and adult orientation, that is, it tells more about the dark side, but those are only broadcast late at night and can be broadcast on Japanese TV stations during the day. , half of them are hot-blooded shounen animations or childish messed-up toddler animations. In those animations, the protagonists are basically brainless, basically single-celled animals, and there are often some carefree fun with their companions. The whole atmosphere is relatively relaxed. . But it's different in "Fullmetal Alchemist"! Although such a cartoon looks like a shounen cartoon, the situation now shown of doing "forbidden things" and making big mistakes really seems like content that can only be found in various youth cartoons! And for a cartoon like Fullmetal Alchemist, it actually has such deep and dark content?
The plot development after the result was even more eye-opening for the parents - for example, the lord's Philosopher's Stone turned out to be a replica, that is, a fake! So any bird he resurrected has a time limit. Once the time limit is reached, the whole bird will explode! After seeing this, the girl in the animation who always wanted to resurrect her lover couldn't stand it anymore! When I saw this, the first episode was over. When I was waiting for the theme song to be sung by Xiao Wei again at the end, my parents suddenly felt different from the first time. When they have slightly realized that such an animation is not that simple, but something a little dark and mature, then listening to the lyrics in their daughter's singing really makes them feel as if their daughter is feeling something. The feeling of hair! The vicissitudes of their daughter's singing, combined with the depth and darkness of the plot, always make them feel a feeling similar to that it's hard to describe in words, or that it was once too difficult to overcome the vast ocean!
They didn¡¯t expect that their daughter, only 14 years old, could sing such a vicissitudes of life song. Especially when such a song matches the plot, its lethality and appeal are really sufficient. It makes people feel that such a song should be sung by people in their thirties and forties to be enjoyable. But who knew that 14-year-old Xiao Wei is very young but she also sings very tastefully!
