I recommend some for everyone.

Tezuka Osamu's science fiction trilogy is "The Lost World", "Metropolis" and "Future World". As a pioneering work in the early history of Japanese science fiction, it cannot be regarded as his very outstanding work. Therefore, we focus on introducing those outstanding and influential works in the history of science fiction:

1. "Astro Boy" ("Atomic King Kong") - the epoch-making ancestor of robot science fiction

2. "The Child with Three Eyes" - a dark high-tech science fiction that perfectly combines the popularization of scientific interests and primitive civilization. The adult version of Sharaku and Watō is "The Mystery of Sapphire" by Hideaki Anno, real or fake! ?

3. "Firebird" - The Firebird is the Archaeopteryx of the gods that appears throughout all Japanese science fiction films. In this series of works, an outstanding actor from mainland China, Comrade Jiang Qing, appears. It’s a pity that she did not appear in the comic "Giant Doll" with a massacre scene in front of Tiananmen Square. Of course, I am talking about the Cultural Revolution

4. "Metropolis" - This is not a replica of the German science fiction masterpiece "Metropolis" (my most respected science fiction work, still soft XD). Just the same name. The animated adaptation of this work unflatteringly retains the original character settings, but it is too inconsistent with modern people's aesthetics, which is a pity. In fact, are there any Japanese who respect the original work very much? How many masterpieces are ruined by the aesthetic taste of the original author that is out of touch with the times. . .

5. Other science fiction works that are slightly more curious, such as MW (= = The master’s heavy-tasting Danmei work)

Most of the science fiction themes in Japanese ACG are relatively mainstream, only Novels and comics can have a strong taste. The representative works are as follows:

Cowboy Bebop (Douban) The first recommendation is Cowboy Beeop, a masterpiece of science fiction westerns, with too much music bonus

Legend of the Galaxy Heroes (Douban) ) ?The interstellar war between democracy and autocracy, Yang Wenli and Admiral Yang through the ages

The Time of Eve (Douban) A relatively unpopular work dedicated to moral and ethical discussions, not as cute as Chobits

Twelve Kingdoms (Douban) Once you accept the setting of this time-travel drama, anti-imperialist utopia can also be regarded as ethnographic soft science fiction

Wang Li Space Army: Oniamis Wings of Wings (Douban) Japan's most tragically money-losing science fiction masterpiece in history. According to the detailed research, the emperor said that the 1080P version is satisfying. Please don't compare "Space Brothers" with this work, thank you; please don't complain about the characters and music, yes, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki and Itamoto Ryuichi are also from the same era; please don't take it for granted. The abbreviation of Wang Lijun, thank you for checking the water meter!

Zamud of Death (Douban) A standard Japanese-style machine combat science fiction film that combines Japanese Shinto and robot (cyborgs? aliens? aliens?) war settings

The Four and a Half Myth Series (Douban) In my mind, the masterpiece of Japanese science fiction can also be regarded as the standard for daily parallel world science fiction: the supremacy of science fiction philosophy through the penetration of daily life. Personally I think it's much more interesting than "Steins;Gate"

Eden of the East (Douban) A self-directed and self-written film about Kenji Kamiyama's escape from the repression of "Ghost in the Shell" and Shirou Masamune's wild horse galloping away. An original animation with huge ambitions (it’s actually a mobile phone commercial, to say it quietly). But as soon as I saw the character of Chika Umino, I knew there were no bad guys in this drama. . .

Red Chili Pepper (Douban) Satoshi Kon’s sci-fi work with a distinctive style and paradoxical atmosphere, also known as "Dream Detective". Whether "Inception" is plagiarized (or borrowed from) remains to be verified.

Diaoqiu (Douban) Japanese gods claim to be aliens and have arrived to save the earth, a refreshing novel with bright colors

"One Punch Man" (comic), "Against all the past A new meme with the theme of “Old Meme” is born! Japanese spoof of science fiction classics, the blockbuster has a strong sense of déjà vu! Also famous is "The Disaster of Super Power Man Saiki Kusuo" whose painting style is quite shocking.

——I really want to ask whether "Digimon" is considered a "science fiction" work in the eyes of the majority of Chinese people?

Any audience who has watched "Summer Wars" will definitely say without hesitation: This is a science fiction film, that's right! What about Digimon? Fantasy? Isn't "Digimon" just a digitization of "Pokémon"? If the former is counted, then Pikachu is a science fiction work! How can it be counted?

Well, by the way, the prototype of "Summer Wars" is the Digimon Movie: Our War Game (Douban). As for the status of Japanese science fiction animation in world science fiction films and television, I don’t know much about it. I can only recommend the classic Japanese science fiction animation that I have watched.

?1. Masaharu Kawamori's "Macross". This is probably the first science fiction anime I watched. My young mind was conquered by Lin Mingmei's singing. There is no beauty in robots or anything like that. The girl is attractive (^_^). It now seems that plot settings such as the so-called beautiful singing giving cultural shock to the enemy and influencing the enemy to resolve the conflict between different cultures are relatively common in world science fiction works. The focus is not on the impact of technological development on human beings, but more on the impact of technological development on human beings. relationships between people.

?2. Otomo Katsuhiro's "Memory Trilogy" and "Akira". I haven't seen many of his works. I just watched "Memory Trilogy" last night. This work is not There is no particularly unified theme, and there are actually few science fiction genres. For example, "The Stinniest Weapon" satirizes government behavior in an absurd and satirical way, "Cannon Street" satirizes the alienation of human nature in a totalitarian society, etc.

?3. Satoshi Kon’s “Paprika”. After watching “Inception”, I learned that there is such an animation work in Japan. It is said that “Inception” has a certain connection with this work, and it is also related to Discussion of the relationship between dreams and reality.

?4. Mamoru Oshii's "Ghost in the Shell" series, as the pinnacle of Japanese science fiction animation, directly inspired the "Matrix" series of movies, and launched an in-depth study of the alienation of human beings caused by technological development. The discussions, especially the discussion of the brain-in-a-vat problem and the ethical issues between robots and humans, are impressive. At the same time, I love its psychedelic and decadent painting style, its well-timed references to classic literary works, and the directly touching sense of desolation in the soundtrack.

?5. Miyazaki Hayao's "Castle in the Sky" and "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" should be classified as soft science fiction, so I won't say more.

?6. Finally, our great master Hideaki Anno and his "EVA" series, I love him so much that I don’t know what to say~~ This work has the most handsome robot in the universe and the most charming one in the history of animation. It also creates a new type of anime character, the goddess, and the serious thinking of human beings themselves (well, it’s actually a satire on those otakus like us). When I was a child, I watched the super handsome robots and beautiful girls. When I grew up, I watched the fragility of people, the barriers between people, and the efforts and struggles that people make to get closer to each other. The rich settings in the work, the connection with high technology, religion, psychology and other fields, and the large amount of content that can be interpreted are just a mass of fog in front of us. What we have to face in the end is our own heart. I think this is also Anno's The most charming place in Xiu Ming.
