I’ll give you face by replying to your post
1. Please find the same type of animation with a similar style to Precure before 2004. If you can’t find it, you still can’t watch it. The obvious features that distinguish Precure from most witch animations only prove that your ACG experience is quite shallow.
You said that the plot of Maomao is very exciting, but so far I have not found anything outstanding about the plot of Maomao. To put it bluntly, it is a traditional transformation magical girl anime that is quite satisfactory. There is neither stylistic innovation nor any new elements added. In my opinion, "Mermaid's Melody", which was the first to create a multi-person transformation singing style, is much more distinctive than Maomao. However, it is understandable that you are not interested in the plot of Precure. After all, the style of PC is closer to that of shounen than similar works. The content focuses on showing the three key spirits of "friendship", "effort" and "victory" in shounen anime. Take a look It is indeed difficult for people who are used to the cute love style of traditional magical girls to adapt to it.
2. To put it bluntly, as a Japanese commercial animation, "Tokyo Cats" does not have outstanding results in its own positioning. At the same time, its sister work "Doremi" for PC distributed The light of "Tokyo Cats" has been overshadowed. To make a vertical comparison, the status and popularity of "Tokyo Cats" are not even as good as Precure's "Guardian Sweetheart" from the same period.
Popularity in Baidu Tieba does not determine the quality of the work. I have a question for you Cat fans. How many of you have bought the genuine animation, comics and peripheral products of "Tokyo Cats"? A group of people who watch pirated anime, or even people who only watch free anime online, call themselves Tokyo Cat fans on Baidu Tieba? Isn't this ridiculous? Will the author of Maomao comics recognize you? Will the animation production company approve of you? A group of people who have not brought even the slightest benefit to the author or the company still dare to claim to be Dongmao fans? At best, they are just a group of enthusiasts.
Assuming that the more than 3,000 "fans" of Tokyo Cat Bar buy genuine anime peripherals, it is still doubtful whether the total economic income they create can reach 100 million yen. Baidu Tokyo Cat Bar This group of people who had no influence on the work was actually used by the questioner as a criterion for judging the quality of animation. I really admire your thinking ability.
Precure’s performance and audio-visual ratings can prove how popular the work is. Box office, sales volume and audio-visual ratings are not conjured out of thin air. Only sufficient popularity can create such high results.
The sales volume of peripheral toys alone was the lowest for PC in the season with a revenue of 6 billion yen. You can imagine that hundreds of thousands of people bought related peripheral toys because they liked this work. The average viewing rate of Precure this season It was 6.4%, and the average number of viewers after conversion was 8,176,640 people watching. In comparison, the so-called high popularity of "Tokyo Cats" on the Chinese Internet seems so small.
Precure’s main markets are Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. The popularity in China is insignificant to the development of the series. Because of this, even if the popularity in China is zero, it will have no impact on the development of the series at all. This is very important to those of us who are interested in This is good news for readers. If the competition of PC is "Pokemon", then serializing the series for eight years and ten years is not a problem. We can continue to pursue new series of PC series in the future, and "there is strength in numbers." "Touma fans can only stick to a witch anime that doesn't even have a theatrical version, and post a lot of irrelevant posts to maintain its popularity.
3. Please change the word "plagiarism" to "learn from". I can tell you are a noob from the moment you say the word "plagiarism"! It is common for Japanese animation companies to borrow from each other, such as Mai-HIME and SEED borrowing from each other, Naruto borrowing from Dragon Ball, etc. Don’t forget that "Tokyo Cats" also borrowed from "Sailor Moon".
If you take the content of Dongmao Encyclopedia to be more realistic, then when I edit Dongmao Encyclopedia information another day, I will add this sentence in front: "This work plagiarizes Sailor Moon and other animations. First, later it was plagiarized by anime such as Pretty Cure!”
I would like to advise you that just talking without practice is not enough. If you are worried about Precure’s “plagiarism” behavior, I suggest you go to Japan to pass it! Sue Toei Animation through legal channels, venting ill will for the manga author and animation company of "Tokyo Cats", and suing Toei Animation for compensation. This is much more useful than just sitting on Baidu and being angry.
But I don’t expect to have anything to say with cowards like you who only dare to post anonymously. Since Baidu knows how to let more people know, then let more people have this idea with honest words. People who think this way should wake up.
It’s time for shameless cowards like the questioner to wake up!
