My Animation Era

  Chapter 377 Sailor Warrior "Retirement" theory (subscription required)

  Saturday, November 27.

  After some unfriendly communication, Jiangchuan TV and Wanbao Animation shook hands and decided to continue the previous translation cooperation.

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

  Director Shin took a step back.

  Of course, this may also have something to do with the audience. After all, they rushed too hard, and the scolding on Weibo was so ugly!

   No one likes to be scolded!

   Under the strong appeal of the audience, the Mandarin version of "Sailor Moon R" was not only rebroadcast, but also updated two episodes at a time.

Great!

  In the latest two episodes of animation, Little Rabbit has been talking about it all the time, and the often mentioned "Xiao Ming" has finally lifted the veil.

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

Ok…

   In fact, he didn't appear on the stage either, but was only mentioned by Little Rabbit. After all, this guy is different from Little Rabbit and the others. They live in the distant Pluto, so it is not so easy to see the deity.

   Mention is enough though.

   Excited viewers have already begun to imagine, will the next season of "Sailor Moon" animation feature Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus as the protagonists?

   This is not a wild idea!

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

   And the comics are updated faster...

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

   That is, in addition to the old five-member group of Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, a new five-person group consisting of Little Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Saturn has also been added.

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

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

   It’s okay to change the original plot, sometimes even the “protagonist” can be changed.

Therefore.

   Everyone is looking forward to it. In the animated version, how will the production team adapt the four warriors of the "outer solar system", 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 the bunny and "water, fire, wood and gold" are a golden combination.

   Now "Little Bunny" appears!

  So... In the third and fourth seasons of the animation, will Little Rabbit be the captain, leading Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Pluto to form the second generation of "Golden Combination"?

   It's not impossible.

  People even speculate that after the end of "Sailor Moon R", Xiaotu probably married Xiaowei, and the other four soldiers retired one after another.

  From the third season, the protagonist becomes Xiaotu's daughter, Xiaotu.

   This seems reasonable!

  …

   "I have to say that this year's netizens have a lot of brains, and their ideas are quite novel."

  Gu Miao glanced at the Wanbao video website, the comment section of the anime "Sailor Moon R", and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaotu and the Four Soldiers are retiring? How dare they think about it!"

retire?

  How to retire?

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

  As soon as these five people retire, the IP value of the entire "Sailor Moon" will be cut in half, or even more!

even though…

  Little Moon and the Four Warriors from the Outer Solar System are not low in popularity, they can even be called popular.

   But who watches Sailor Moon without the old five to back it up? No one really thinks that the ratings can be supported by the new five-member group, right?

   All I can say is, how naive!

  The IP of "Sailor Moon" has been ups and downs for decades, and the only unshakeable C position is Moon Hare and the four warriors of "Water, Fire, Wood and Gold".

  Don’t look at the “Four Soldiers from the Outer Solar System”, the “Sailor Quartet”, and the Golden Osmanthus Galaxy…

   There are a lot of messy sailors and soldiers, it seems that there are so many people, it's great.

   But it’s actually useless.

  The Sailor Soldiers who are really attractive, or retain fans, have never changed, they have always been the "old five".

  Believe it or not?

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

   Retirement is what netizens dare to say.

  In Gu Miao's opinion, as long as "Sailor Moon" is still producing sequels and there are loyal audiences, Tsukiha Usagi and Xiaowei don't want to "marry", and the Four Soldiers don't even want to retire.

  Like Conan in "Detective Conan", or Nobita in "Doraemon", he will be a cow and horse for others all his life.

retire? Wash and sleep!

   Scanning the comment area, except for a few sand sculptures that attracted more attention, there were no valuable comments. Gu Miao shook her head and put away her phone.

no problem.

  The basic set of "Sailor Moon R" is too solid. Even if Jiangchuan TV Station really doesn't broadcast the Mandarin version, the original Japanese version will not be short of broadcasts.

   This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

  Before this, he was more worried about a problem. That is, the audience is fed up with the "Mandarin Dubbing" and cannot accept the original "Daily Dubbing".

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

   Now it seems that the impact is not great.

   Some viewers did say that they would not watch it without Mandarin dubbing, but such people are still rare, and most of them are just booing.

  The end of the year is approaching.

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

  Of course, what Gu Miao said was "the first broadcast".

   If you replay it, there will be more. In addition to the just-finished "Chinese Little Master", many "old animations" are also being rebroadcasted.

  For example...

  The first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and the second season "Sheep and Goat Games"!

   It's really outrageous.

  It has been three years, and some "county-level" TV stations have put two animations on infinite replay.

   What's even more outrageous is...

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

  Gu Miao has nothing to say.

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

   Jokes are jokes.

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

However…

   It is precisely such a terrifying animation. When the theatrical version of the big movie is about to be released, the theaters and distributors are not very optimistic about the box office prospects?

Yes, that's right!

  When Gu Miao, with sincerity, went to negotiate with the distributors and tried to arrange the film with the theaters, it was not as popular as expected.
