My Animation Era

"A brief review of the new version of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": a visual feast, a classic that never goes out of style!"

"The character design of the new version of the Three Kingdoms animation is very outstanding. Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun... each character is lifelike and distinctive."

"The plot of the story is a bit tight. Although it reproduces the classic scenes of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and retains the essence of the original work to the greatest extent, it can also be seen that when promoting the development of the story, many plots of the original work have been passed over..."

"One of the great advantages of the animated version is undoubtedly the depiction of battle scenes. The battlefield with smoke rising and thousands of armies confronting each other is particularly shocking. Paired with the impassioned music, it is definitely a dual visual and auditory enjoyment."

"For this animation, I will give it a score of 9.6! Be conservative. After all, it has just started airing. We do not rule out the possibility of going high and going low in the future..."

Oh!

Ma Kui, who saw this film review, subconsciously glanced at the username who wrote the film review, and quickly shared it with Mr. Gu: "Mr. Gu, look at it! A big boss gave our animation a score of 9.6!"

"Boss? What boss?"

When Gu Miao heard this, she said very speechlessly: "Can you please stop making such a fuss? What about the boss? What boss can compare to... Damn it?!"

What a boss!

Moreover, this big boss is also a big boss in academia, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, and the president of a key university.

"Do academicians also watch cartoons?"

"What you said..."

Gu Miao rolled her eyes and said, "Why can't academicians watch cartoons? Maybe they watch them with their grandson?"

"Yes!"

Ma Kui scratched his head and thought, based on the academician's age, his grandchildren are almost in elementary school. If he is accompanying his grandchildren, it is really possible to watch cartoons.

But after looking back, after watching it, this boss even wrote a movie review of several hundred words on social platforms, which is enough to prove that he really likes this animation and the work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"It's normal!"

After Gu Miao was shocked, she quickly recovered and said: "The older generation of intellectuals should have read the four major classics. Aren't there some red scholars? The influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms cannot be overstated."

Although the academician's film review is surprising, it seems reasonable when it comes to the work "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Although the Wanbao version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is an animated work, it is an adaptation of one of the "Four Great Classics" after all. The popularity of the Four Great Classics in China can only be said to be understood by everyone.

This film review is just one of them.

With the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" being aired on CCTV, people from almost all walks of life are paying attention and watching it, including many adults.

Some people say that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the most "watery" work among the four great classics...

But no matter how wet it is, it is still one of the four great masterpieces! The popularity of the four major classics ranges from ninety-nine to just barely alive. It is not too much to say that everyone knows it, right?

If you want to talk about Dream of Red Mansions, some people may not know what story this novel tells.

However, the story contents of the three books, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West and Water Margin, are simply too popular and have an extremely broad fan base.

Based on this premise.

The animated version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been launched, and it is normal for so many viewers to watch it enthusiastically.

Isn’t it weird that no one is watching?

Anyway, both Ma Kui and Koizumi feel that the success of the animated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is mainly due to the high popularity of the IP and has little to do with them.

If it were done by another person, as long as the title "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is still hanging, the effect would be similar.

certainly!

This is just a humble statement. Ma Kui and Koizumi still deserve credit. After all, not everyone can achieve a comprehensive animation rating of 9.7.

“The word-of-mouth response has been okay.”

Gu Miao raised the corner of her mouth and said: "Although it is not as good as the TV series version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is at least better than the old animation version."

Maguire did not disappoint.

The TV series version of Three Kingdoms cannot be surpassed by the animated version. Gu Miao’s initial goal for Ma Kui was to surpass the old animated version.

From the current point of view...

The TV series version scored 9.9 points, the old animation version scored 9.5 points, and the Wanbao version animation scored 9.7 points. Ma Kui exceeded the task assigned to him by Gu Miao.

"It's a pity that it almost has the same rating as the TV series version!"

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Miao said speechlessly: "I don't know if the 9.7 points will drop down yet. I guess it will be good to get 9.6 points by the end."

Beyond the TV series version?

What about idiots talking about dreams? That score of 9.9 is as stable as Mount Tai. Should the Wanbao version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation take the lead to catch up?

And there’s no point in exceeding it.

As we all know, the ratings of animations are generally relatively low, and their gold content is relatively low. Even if it does get a perfect score, it will be difficult to get everyone's approval.

Take Wanbao Video as an example.

On the Wanbao Video website, among the top 100 comprehensively rated works, there are approximately 92 animations and only 8 are live-action film and television dramas.

This is also the reason why netizens ridiculed Wanbao Video’s rating for not being fair and reasonable.

Why?

Because the current Wanbao video is just like Bilibili. The concentration of two-dimensional content is a bit high. There are no objective factors in the audience's ratings, it all depends on subjective preferences.

Under this scoring mechanism, it is useless even if you surpass others, because outside the Wanbao Video website, it is difficult for others to recognize your audience rating.

"This is indeed the case..."

When Ma Kui heard this, he nodded awkwardly.

What is the rating of Wanbao Video website?

Let’s see whose fans have a higher concentration of two-dimensional characters, more popular characters, and more severe fandom!

Doesn’t anyone really think that an animation that received a score of 9.9 or even a perfect 10 on the Wanbao video website really deserves such a high score?

The audience ratings are just like Tu Yile.

What Gu Miao really values ​​​​is not the so-called rating, but another relatively unpopular but very critical data.

Completion rate!

To put it simply, to evaluate the quality of an animation, you only need to look at the viewing rate.

Because ten viewers clicked in, and nine viewers watched it to the end, it proves that the animation is okay, and only one person couldn't stand it in the middle and left.

If one hundred viewers click in, 80 viewers will leave, and only 20 viewers will be left to watch the end...

On the surface, the latter is twice as good as the former, and is undoubtedly more exciting than the former, right? But based on the analysis of the completion rate, the latter relies on the defense, while the former is a potential stock.

This data is much more important than audience ratings.

A high rating does not necessarily mean it is good to watch, but if the completion rate is high, then the animation is indeed good to watch. After all, if it is not good to watch, no one will insist on watching it.

Although the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a TV animation, statistics cannot be collected, or it is difficult to calculate the so-called completion rate, but it can be estimated based on the channel change rate.

If nothing else, the completion rate is very high, not inferior to the previous "Digimon" or "The Adventures of Lolo".
