One of the animations I recommend to you today is Sunrise's 2010 theatrical version of the animation "King of Thorns in the Ancient City". This anime is based on a manga and is ahead of us. Audiences who like the brain-burning theme can go to see, those who like the theme of the end of the world can also look at it, and those who like Hanazawa coriander lilies... You can also go and see it.
Without further ado, let's start.
In 2013, a woman descended from the top of a building, only to turn to stone and fall to pieces when she landed, thus kicking off the story.
The chronic virus known as "Medusa" spreads around the world, and the bodies of infected people will gradually turn to stone, and once the fatality rate of infection is 100%, it will cause great panic around the world, and the flood of refugees and local conflicts will become increasingly intense.
At this time, a pharmaceutical company called "Venus Gate" stepped forward (this outlet stood out, either brain-dead or boss), in the name of treating petrochemical diseases, selected 160 qualified people from all over the world to participate in the company's "frozen sleep plan", these 160 people were sent to the modified castle in Scotland, Shi Muxia from Japan was selected to participate in the plan, and her twin sister Shi Mu Shizuku accompanied her to the castle as a relative.
Before the freezing program began, Vega, CEO of Venus Gate, introduced the program and introduced the centerpiece of the system, the "Alice System", a highly automated system that lasted 100 years, and after a hundred years, a cure for petrochemical disease was found, and the system would revive them again.
Electronic chips are also implanted in their bodies, and the system can monitor their data and regulate their dreams. They can dream until they wake up.
In fact, the sister was also infected with the virus, in order to give the opportunity to the sister and sister once cut the wrist to commit suicide, so there was a wound on the wrist. For a hundred years later, she will never see her relatives again, and her sister is very sad in her heart. When the spectacled lady Shimuxia (younger sister) and Shiki Shizuku (sister) were separated, the sister told Xia to live strongly, as long as she lived, there was hope, and pulled the hook agreement.
The freezing center in the castle, the neat freezer compartment, the highly automated management system, everything seems so orderly, as if the system can really run as desired for a hundred years. The staff began to arrange for qualified people to enter the freezer, and the female protagonist Xiaoxia was also taken into the freezer and began to fall into a deep sleep. But the animation can really go so smoothly, there is no need to talk about it.
I don't know how long later, breaking the silence is the gunshot of the M4 automatic rifle in the hands of the castle guards, and the heroine of the animation wakes up from her slumber and finds that the freezer cabin she is in has been ejected, surrounded by thick thorns.
The freezer popped up one by one, and people climbed down the freezer, amazed at the changes in the castle, when suddenly the crowd was attacked by a group of monster bats, and the crowd scattered and fled for their lives. The monsters unleashed a bloody slaughter of the crowd.
After being washed in the blood of the monster, only seven people in the protagonist's group remained of the original 160 people. They are the heroine Shi Muxia, the agile tattooed male Mike, the black police officer, the blonde sister Catherine who has lost her child, the game boy Timsi, the glasses man Pete, and the Italian congressman Peccino.
The protagonist and his party decide to escape from this facility, and on the way they encounter another kind of monster, and the unwilling congressman is caught by the monster and headshot.
Prompted by the little boy, everyone dodged the monster, and then Mike pushed Xiaoxia into the sink with a head-scratching kill, and then the group fled down the sink to the top, and after getting rid of the monster, they came to the control room.
But after finding the metal necklace of the glasses man, everyone concluded that it was not a freezer, and the discovered glasses man held the protagonist hostage and retreated to the elevator, then released the protagonist, told the heroine that he had seen her before, and asked the heroine in great horror, "What the hell are you?" ”
After the glasses man's narration, Xiaoxia learned that all this happened shortly after freezing, and it was most likely her sister who did it, and she decided to go looking for her sister.
The people who stayed in the control room were ready to leave, and by the way, they asked the glasses man for clarification, but they inadvertently found on the computer in the control room that the reality was less than two days away from the time they arrived at the freezer.
Why did such a drastic change occur in two days? Why would a little boy know the characteristics of a monster? The true identity of the tattooed male Mike? Where is Xiao Xia's sister? Is this plan really meant to treat diseases as it was said at the beginning? What is the real body of petrification? If you go on, you're going to go into the spoilers, and I'll just say that it's coolest to unravel the mystery yourself.
This anime is full of idealistic philosophical meanings, the bgm at the beginning and end is also very suitable, it can be said that it is very godly, the performance of coriander can also be remarkable, and the end of the story is not clear whether it is bad enging or happy ending, but it is never stomach pain, you can eat it with confidence.
The plot development of the anime can be said to be very "winding", compared to the manga, the pre-laying of the animation is enough, the details are arranged quite a lot, and the suspense points are also buried very cleverly, but after the detour is clear, you will feel a special sense. I felt the anime I watched that year, "When the Cicadas Cry. Solution" that suddenly cheerful feeling.
Lily twin sisters also often make people silly and unclear, in the later plot will make you more silly and unclear, everyone must pay attention to the details when watching Oh, of course, many key points I have written out, do not think that it is the number of words Oh.
Finally, I quote a sentence from someone else as an animation summary: the sister became a god for the sake of the sister, and the sister killed the god in order to save the sister.
By the way, Station B has resources.
