"I'm Crazy for Song" was extremely famous in the national comic industry at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, and after animation, it was even more popular in half the sky.
Marcel the Giant of the Jaws
It was one of the leaders of campus romance at that time and was warmly praised by teenagers.
Times have passed, and in 20 years it has produced new anime series, but this time there are few followers, and not many people even talk about it.
Why is the once brilliant "I'm Crazy for Song" no longer receiving attention?
1, the times have changed
"I'm Crazy for Song" just entered the period around the turn of the millennium, and it can catch fire, which is inseparable from the general environment at that time.
At that time, the verbal criticism of early love was extremely fierce, and "I Am Crazy for Song" turned out to be a counterattack.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Even if readers do not have the courage to resist the oppressive environment, they can be satisfied to some extent by going to see the counterattack made by Ye Feng, Chu Tiange and others.
But now, campus romance has long been nothing new, a variety of related works emerge in an endless stream, everyone can see the aesthetic fatigue, which prompted "I Am Crazy for Song" to become a generation of memories of the flashpoint has lost its corresponding appeal.
On the other hand, its authors Xie Hui, Zeng Wei, and Lu Ying are not highly topical, and there is no way to increase the popularity of the work in turn.
For example, now Guo Jingming and Han Han are still very active, not only becoming CEOs, but also often making news, "Magic City" and "Triple Gate" will also brush their sense of existence in the name of their representatives, but how many people remember "Flower Season Rainy Season" that was the same as these two works?
"I'm Crazy for Songs" also suffered a similar loss, not enough topicality, and gradually became obsolete.
2. The kernel is obsolete
Forming a band in millennials is still a very fashionable concept, and abandoning school to pursue dreams is seen as a courageous choice.
But by now, how many people would believe this was a promising decision?
My lord, times have changed!
This second season of the anime should either put the broadcast time point a year or two after the first season (leaving aside the other effects), or create a sub-era and older generation about the dream of the baton, so that some effects can be achieved.
3, shoddy, insincere
If "I Restart the Melody of Song Madness" can be close to the pulse of the times and become a grounded work, it may be able to continue the glory of that year.
In the last anime or the first season, the production level was still good, and the interaction between the main characters was very impressive, and it can be seen that the screenwriter used his heart.
But what about the second season?
Even if you want to use this once-hot super IP to circle money, you can also make something to see.
"Industrial saccharin" can make people addicted when used well, but if it is not used well, it becomes an east effect.
The second season of anime is no better than the first season, and both the plot and the portrayal of the characters are not satisfactory.
The first season used the plot to portray the characters and borrow the characters to improve the plot, the story is full, and the characters are fresh.
The characters of the second season are seriously templated, and the plot cannot withstand scrutiny, more for the sake of hard concave a certain stem, and the characters and plots are irrational.
Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of the goods.
When the audience is raised by the fine products, how many people can this insincere thing fool?
To pick up those former super IPs, it takes not only courage, but also level.
From the beginning, "I'm Crazy for Song" put the core of the story in the scope of "music, band", and it is not easy to extend it.
With the passage of time, today's young people want to rely on this to fight for a future less and less, and this dream can resonate much less than before.
There are fewer subjects that can transcend the limitations of the times, and looking at those IP that can last for more than 20 years, which is not constantly innovating, always sitting and eating the old will sooner or later go downhill.
The cost of making anime is not small, if the creators have a little understanding of the market, presumably there will be no such embarrassing situation as the second season.
If you were asked to write the script for the Season 2 anime, how would you design the plot?
