Animation article

1. Japanese cartoons can be divided into three types: TV cartoons, ova and theatrical versions.

The theatrical version is an animated film.

OVA refers to cartoons released by audio-visual products, which are not shown in cinemas or on TV stations. Regardless of the length of time and the number of episodes, it is generally called ova.

TV animated dramas are divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter, April in spring, July in summer, October in autumn and January in winter. According to the broadcast duration, it is usually called quarterly fans (about 13 words), semi-annual fans (about 26 words) and annual fans (about 5/kloc-0 words). Of course, there are also some TV dramas that have been broadcast for a long time, such as Conan, Huo Ying and Miss Conch.

Take Conan as an example. Usually, the comic adaptation cases we see are TV series, sp, such as Stranger Ten Years Later, is ova, and Exploding Skyscrapers to this year's Dark Nightmare are all theatrical versions.

2. Animation can be roughly divided into originality, casual change, wandering change and slight change from the source of subject matter.

Original animation, as its name implies, is an animation with original plots, such as EVA and Cosmos Battleship Yamato. Even if such works are published in comic version, they are considered as original animations because they are animated first. For example, Gundam series is the representative of original animation.

Mangai is an animation adapted from a comic story. Huo Ying, Dragon Ball, sd (slam dunk master), One Piece and Conan all belong to this category.

Yougai is an animation adapted from game stories, such as pokemon, digimon, sakura wars, etc.

Light change is an animation adapted from light novel stories, such as spring palace series, sword god field series and other animated versions.

In fact, this classification is not perfect, because there is a world-famous theater in Japan that has been doing it for many years and is famous for adapting world literary masterpieces, but the above classification still summarizes most Japanese animation themes.

Comic article

1. Comic magazine.

Among the three major publishing houses, there are many excellent publishing houses in Japan, but the main business of three publishing groups is comics, namely, Jiying Society, Academy and Lecture Society (in fact, comics are far from all the business of these three houses, for example, the main business of Academy is primary school textbooks and other books).

Jiyingshe and the primary school are the same parent company, but the Toastmasters Club is not. But when it comes to comic series, these three comic weekly magazines are the most famous. The magazine "Youth Leap" owned by Jiyingshe, the magazine "Youth Sunday" owned by Elementary School and the magazine "Youth Magazine" owned by Conversation Society are the three giants of Japanese comic magazines. They are also direct competitors.

2. Juvenile comics.

Teenager cartoons are mostly about youth, blood, struggle and fighting, so they are the most successful in business. Many Japanese comics that we are familiar with have become popular in three comic magazines. Juvenile comics are the most successful type of comics in business.

Juvenile comics are very popular in Japan and other countries outside Japan. The representative works are Dragon Ball, sd, Huo Ying and so on.

3. Girls' cartoons.

Compared with juvenile comics, juvenile comics mainly focus on female readers, and most of them focus on fantasy love, aesthetic characters and romantic stories. Fighting in juvenile comics is often not as important as juvenile comics.

Prince Sapphire is the first Japanese manga for girls, and the animated Princess Knight was also introduced to China. However, the most familiar girls in China are the beautiful girl warrior in Naoko Takeuchi, the magic card girl KINOMOTO SAKURA in the clamp, the detective team of the clamp college in Babylon, Tokyo, X-War, Natsuki Takaya's fruit basket and cherry balls.

Girls' comics also have their own exclusive magazines and publishers. Among the three clubs mentioned above, there are magazines specially serialized for girls' comics, such as Japanese by Ying Ji Club, Girls' Comics by Primary School, Zhongji by Speech Club, and Baiquan Club, which specializes in girls' comics. The subordinate magazines Flowers and Dreams and Lala are also synonymous with youth leap.

The famous BL and GL beauty culture began to develop from the branch of girl comics. Fans call it a fan girl, but now she has become a rotten girl. Because of the name of rotten women, the present beauty culture is called rotten women culture.

4. Youth comics.

Youth cartoons are mostly cartoons with social reality themes, and readers are mainly college students and office workers who have stepped into society. Therefore, most juvenile comics will not support the main story into a weird surreal plot like juvenile comics, but face all kinds of realistic, historical and social problems directly. Generally speaking, juvenile comics have a higher depth than juvenile comics. In addition, because readers are mainly adults, they do not shy away from naked sexual and violent elements. I can definitely say that youth comics will change the classification of many people's impressions of Japanese comics.

Youth comics also have their own exclusive weekly magazine. As mentioned above, the three major publishing houses, Ying Ji Press, have Super Leap, the primary schools have The Spirit of Big Comics and The Original of Big Comics, and the talk clubs have Junior Magazine and Morning. Because the audience of juvenile comics is different from that of juvenile comics, there are also monthly magazines such as Afternoon as distribution channels.

Many young cartoonists started from young cartoonists, such as Takehiko Inoue, the author of Slam Dunk.

The main words I said are basically explained, but they are still a drop in the bucket compared with the whole animation industry. I hope the topic owner can take the time to study some animation knowledge, so that your topic will not have a wrong impression.
