Tv version: it is an animated version played on TV.

OVA: Original Video Anime, as opposed to TV, is not played on TV. Want to see, can only buy. The specific content will be introduced later. Theater version: animated film version.

* Music:

OST: soundtrack (soundtrack album). Collect music related to animation. [ost: soundtrack]

OP: title song/theme song

Ed: Ending song

* subtitles at the beginning and end of the film:

Supervision: equal to the' director' in China.

Script: The person who writes the script is also called story composer.

This is not the same as a script. Television animation is usually adapted from comics, novels or games. Comic writers and animators are usually different (there are exceptions, for example, some works by Miyazaki Hayao are often animated by their own original works), so the word' original' comes into being. Refers to the author of the original comic book/novel. For example, Cowboy Bibpopper was originally written by Hajime Yatate. (About Hajime Yatate, friends who have seen General Dream should know this allusion, but it seems that there are still many people who don't know it at present. I will introduce it later. )

Actor: voice actor, voice actor

Staff: all members involved in production and animation (including general shrimp and millet)

Production: usually refers to the company responsible for drawing animation, because making an animation usually requires the cooperation of n departments/companies with clear division of labor, which is a bit like assembly line operation. This word also needs everyone's attention. The production level of an animation is often influenced by the production unit. Sometimes even looking at the name of the animation company can tell whether this film is worth collecting.

* In-circle terminology)

Otaku: It means' otaku' in Japanese. At present, the accepted meaning in China is: a subculture group that is easy to immerse itself in the fantasy world and lacks normal social life experience. In popular terms, it is a group of people who are crazy and enthusiastic about animation. For example, Eva's otaku can recite the Chinese, Japanese and English names of each apostle, has made a detailed study of the New Testament and the Old Testament, and is familiar with the differences between Judaism, Christianity and Catholicism. Pay attention to all the activities of GAINAX ... master Freud's theory ... and become a member of a cult. ...

Residual thoughts: What a pity. The extended word is "broken thoughts" ... or you can do something similar yourself.

874: Verb ... the behavior of criticizing crazily in the forum. Generally speaking, if you will be criticized by 874, you must have offended an otaku or a mental derangement. It is suggested to keep a distance from this forum and improve your own strength before going or not going at all.

Amateur/Tooth: People who have watched anime for some years (2-3 years) but actually know little. Not a derogatory term.

Daren: Watch anime at all costs, in short, the kind with strong strength.

* Animation genre: SF = scienceffiction mechanical works, such as EVA * animation works abbreviation: animation lovers often use abbreviations to represent their familiar works, which are usually understandable, but some are unfamiliar to newcomers. Here are a few examples, which will be gradually supplemented later.

FF: You are probably most familiar with the FF (Final Fantasy) series. FF series was originally a famous game of SQUARE Company. Because it is very popular, there are many surrounding areas, such as game animation, OVA, movies and so on. However, the abbreviation of FF used recently needs to be distinguished, because the Matrix series also produced an animated short film called The Final Flight of Osiris, which is also abbreviated as FF. The director of the film and the film version of Final Fantasy are the same person (Andy Jones).

M0=MACROSS ZERO (zero means zero, so it is represented by' 0') stick series: there are two works produced at present, one is READ OR DIE(OVA), and the Chinese name is' thinking about death'; The other one is Reading or Dreams (TV), which is showing, but there was no D version in the past. All abbreviated as ROD.

*OVA

First of all, explain what OVA is.

OVA = original video animation = original animation video tape.

OVA occupies a very important position in the history of animation, and she can often be seen in various animation information records. A work that can be regarded as OVA can only be called OVA if it has not been shown on TV or theater when it was first introduced. When a work that has been shown on TV or theater is reissued, video tape /LD/VCD, etc. It cann't be OVA The' v' in OVA also refers to all video/LD/VCD/DVD media, not just video.

Anime is the pronunciation of ァニメ, which means anime in Japanese. Generally called "Japanese animation".

Compared with American cartoons, animation is very different. Japanese and American "animations" are usually distinguished by "animations". First of all, conceptually speaking, animation is aimed at all kinds of audiences of all ages, as a means to convey stories or provide the same level of entertainment as live-action movies.

Most cartoons are adapted from comics. As works with continuous plots, they are all long and coherent stories, which contain the connection and development of characters' relationships and greatly increase the visibility. Readers must keep buying serial magazines to keep up with the development of the story.

Because of its own traditional culture-no matter good or bad, as long as there is an extraordinary realm, it can become a god; It doesn't matter whether the performance is good or not. The important thing is to excel and transcend the world. Death is glorious, especially for a noble purpose. So there is no clear boundary between "good" and "bad" in many animations. Some characters often switch between the two camps, and even some characters can be "both good and evil", while others are "neither right nor evil". Sometimes a character becomes a "just camp", but his thoughts and character are evil, and vice versa. Similarly, when representing a war, it is possible that neither side is "just" or "evil". Therefore, animation often directly shows death itself, and in the eyes of western society, death is to be avoided anyway, which has become a taboo for the media.

Another main factor of animation fluency lies in the extensiveness of its subject matter. Wandering, space adventure, absurd comedy and even soap operas can all be turned into animated stories, which are not limited to the spoof of daily life, but more about the description of human roles and the fantasy of leading the audience into the wilderness.

The "Cartoon" that most people are familiar with comes from an English word "cartoon", which is what most people understand as "animation"-in fact, it refers more to American cartoons.

The strength of American cartoons lies in the theatrical version. Whether Disney, DreamWorks or Warner, cartoon blockbusters have inherited the Hollywood-style blockbuster production style-simple but rich and varied lines, shocking scenes, gorgeous audio-visual effects, famous actors' intentions and dramatic plots, which are suitable for all ages. There is no doubt that American cartoons are the strongest in the world, especially in the use of special effects, which is determined by the special film market environment in the United States and has certain local characteristics. The struggle between good and evil is the theme of many American cartoons. Of course, justice will win. Another feature of American cartoons is the fragmentation of the plot. Generally speaking, there is no coherence and it is a separate chapter. So even if you miss a few words or start reading in the middle, it won't make any difference.

Generally speaking, American cartoons are mainly aimed at children, promoting the absolute distinction between justice and evil in Jewish and Christian literature, and the "only solution" in the final outcome. The fragmentation of the plot allows children not to worry about missing a sentence and affecting their understanding of the story, nor to worry about complicated story clues or role relationships. Many works will deliberately avoid some ugly problems in reality to protect children.

And "animation" is a big category. Animation covers all animation modes. As far as the cartoons that people contact daily are concerned, it is not appropriate to use "animation". We should use a more correct word-animation, which means Japanese animation.

Generally speaking, American "cartoons" are mostly exported to the world in the form of theatrical versions, while TV cartoons are the main way to enter the international market in the way of loving cats and life. At present, the difference between the two is quite obvious.

Otsu city

The word "Fanshi" originally refers to "a group of like-minded people who jointly create their own literary works, which is called Fanshi". In other words, as long as like-minded friends compile their published literary and artistic works into a book, they will not be published by commercial publishing houses, but will pay for their own printing and circulate among friends in the same way, which can be called "Fan Zhi".

Later, due to the popularity of animation and video game culture, popular works were very popular among the same friends. As a result, "adapting commercial works and writing comic fan stories in the form of rumors" has gradually become the mainstream of the fan world. Most of these works follow the role design and background of commercial works, and then create different stories according to the preferences of fan screenwriters. For example, a fan writer saw a work and thought that the ending of the hero and heroine was really tragic, so he drew an ending that made the hero and heroine happy together according to the original author's design, or used his imagination to slightly modify the original serious plot, which turned into a hilarious cartoon, like these are the most common forms of "adaptation" in the fan world.

Otaku

Japanese animation

Cartoon and animation

"Animation" is the beginning of everything and the root of otaku. When an otaku says the word "anime", his inner feelings are no less than that of a Jew saying "Adonai". As a modern visual phenomenon, animation has its own development, creating an otaku, that is, a person who is fascinated by and studies animation. Like anime, loving anime is the origin of otaku, from which all actions of otaku originate. The sentence "I love anime" is the first shovel stone in the temple of all otaku hearts, and it is also the first step for them to climb this mountain of otaku.

Extensive knowledge

Wide interest

Otaku likes animation, but his hobbies are not limited to animation. Otaku takes animation as the core, and when the data of his favorite works can't satisfy his endless desire for data collection, he will extend his claws to all the knowledge related to the works. You can often see otaku talking about war history, astronomy, multi-turrets, western and eastern cold weapons, Nordic mythology, the level of angels, Solomon's 72-pillar fiend, CZ75, Nobuo Oda, quantum physics or all kinds of things that can be associated with animation. The scope of these interests is unlimited. As long as it involves his favorite works, otaku has no reason not to study them.

cartoon; comic

cartoon; comic

This simple transliteration word is a general term for animation, but for otaku, this word is blasphemous, and they insist that the correct name should be "animation". Because otaku thinks this word can distinguish them from those little p children who only know how to watch the fun. If an otaku hears someone talking loudly about "cartoons" (or worse, "cartoons"), he will hum, whisper "heretics" and walk away. Jump up and argue with each other "not comics, comics!" " "Otaku is not without, but their number is too small.

dream

dream

Outsiders always say that otaku is "like a child". Mainly otaku will not give up his dreams with the growth of age and the vicissitudes of society. Animation works are fictional, and dreams come from yearning for the fictional world. Dream is the continuation of reality; Otakus keep their dreams not because they believe that they will come true, but because they just think that dreams and reality can exist. They don't have to give up their beautiful dreams in order to survive in the real world, and they won't ignore or forget the reality when dreaming. Thoughts soar freely in the clouds, but their feet are always on the ground; After all, there is no sharp gap between dream and reality.

Emotional

Full of emotion, emotional

On the balance of otaku's heart, sensibility always takes precedence over rationality. In fact, watching animation itself is a process of cultivating sensibility. You can often see a big man moved to tears by an animation, and occasionally you can see girls excited when they watch Gaeta. Otaku's strong sensitivity to animation makes it easy for them to feel ecstatic in the aesthetic process of watching a work, which in turn stimulates them to search for information about the work to help them understand the work more deeply. This is a virtuous circle; It is precisely because of this cultivation that otaku are generally emotional in real life, although it also means that they are easily excited.

fan

layman

Fan is the low-level form of otaku and the reserve army of otaku. All otaku evolved from Fan, because loving animation is the foundation to further increase the level of animation research. If a person is moved by animation and therefore likes animation, he becomes a fan; ; If he is not satisfied with watching a few cartoons, he begins to look for those classic works in the history of animation and starts to communicate with people like himself, he is a real fan; ; And when he went further and began to pay attention to the relevant materials of animation, he took the first step to become an otaku.

GAINAX

The name of an animation creation group composed of a group of super geeks. All the animations produced by the group completely push the audience's vision and hearing to the extreme from the perspective of otaku, and are regarded as supreme classics by the animation industry. In this group founded by a fat man who is honored as the "king of otaku", almost all of them are the first generation of old otaku, and their works are also important milestones in the life journey for the new generation of otaku; Each of GAINAX's works has strong otaku characteristics: a lot of meaningful or meaningless hints are used in the works, "shots for the audience", quotations are quoted by others, classics are honored, perfection is romantic, money is burned, and no matter how much income, people will always be poor because of excessive spending.

H

An abbreviation for the pronunciation of Japanese words, used to refer to a special work. The synonym of this word, according to the popular writing method, can be written as "work mouth"; Although it is not a definition, it is strange that all otaku will be exposed to H-their extensive knowledge of animation will inevitably expose them to the word, which also accounts for a large proportion in animation; -and both men and women are not jealous of H. Although otaku's contact with H is limited to the metaphysical field and has never been put into practice, because of a fat man named Miyazaki more than ten years ago, otaku was falsely regarded as a loyal practitioner of H for a period of time and even went beyond legal and moral restrictions to practice; This prejudice has not been completely eliminated until now.

information

intelligence

"People who only watch anime are just pure anime fans."

According to Okada Toshio's definition, "the powerful ability to search for reference materials" is one of the essential characteristics of otaku. In this era of too many images, in order to find and interpret every hidden element in animation, otaku will inevitably evolve a cross-domain data search ability because of this environment. In otaku's view, a lot of information is as essential as air in order to understand animation better and more thoroughly. Otaku is a textual research madman; Moreover, this kind of textual research itself is also a supreme happiness. See "Extensive knowledge".

young

young

Otakus are called "children", but this statement also means that they are young. Different from their actual age, they are always young psychologically: young because of dreams, young because of romance, young because of hope; Besides, because you love something, you are young. Even if he has a family and a son, even if he is bald, the otaku, like a poet blessed by the mythical goddess of fate, never gives up his yearning for life and the future, always sticks to his dreams and always has a young heart.

Kuso

deceive

A special secretion only produced in otaku's brain is very effective in stimulating otaku's humorous nerves. Otaku is bound to spoof, and only otaku can understand the spoof. Moreover, the creativity and sensitivity of otaku's brain to spoof are constantly enhanced with the deepening of otaku's level, although to outsiders, otaku just laughs at things that he simply can't understand. They may only be surprised and laugh with them, but they will never understand the meaning of this smile and just echo the crowd.

love

love

No work will abandon the eternal theme of love, especially animation. For otaku, their love is not only for the opposite sex, but also for animation and life. The more cartoons you watch, the more you can understand this. Psychopathic murderers like Gong will never get close to the field of otaku psychologically. Of course, BL must resolutely spit on it.

"-this world is about love!"

paranoea

paranoea

Otaku is everything and must be paranoid. In fact, their paranoia and all kinds of things that outsiders can't understand caused by paranoia are not unique to otaku. Either way, as long as people bet wildly on one thing, people will become paranoid. This paranoia caused by love is the biggest motivation for him to move forward, which can push him to overcome all obstacles on the road to climbing the peak, work hard and finally create his due achievements; This is why Mark Twain said: Paranoia is the closest to God.

See Oddity.

Invalid new creation

new type

The word new ineffectiveness is regarded as the highest praise by otaku, and it is also the simplest definition they give themselves. Strictly speaking, otaku is not a name, but a state: in this information-developed modern society, they are not submerged in the tide of images and information, but live in it, looking for the information and visual elements they need. As far as animation is concerned, every detail in the picture, even the part behind the picture, cannot be fooled by them; It is precisely because of the demand for information that otaku has developed a high degree of data collection and picture perception. At this level, it can be said that this is indeed a human innovation.

strange

Strange hobbies

Otaku's quirks have long been well known, and these quirks have also become the reason for outsiders to criticize. After all, not everyone will mumble something when watching a movie, or lift a woman's hand-made skirt to see it; To tell the truth, not only otaku, but anyone who is obsessed with something will ignore the world around him because he is too focused on what he likes, and all kinds of ridiculous quirks are understandable and even taken for granted.

project oneself

Highlight yourself and show yourself.

The desire for self-expression is the essence of otaku, and it is also the most important place where otaku differs from ordinary fans. Collect all kinds of information and interpret it comprehensively, but the key is to discuss your own views with colleagues and publish them through various channels; An otaku without self-expression is not an otaku. Otaku, who loves cat flapping and life, always likes to get together and make fan stories. A few otaku in China insist on several magazines and salon-style forums for communication. But the biggest result of otaku's expression of desire is that it is precisely because they express their views that animators can improve their works according to their views. When the earliest generation of otaku grew up, they began to move fans to screens and magazines, and began to lead the development direction and trend of animation.

unreasonable

Don Quixote-like, far-sighted

The two parts that make up an otaku can be said to be half collection and half fanaticism. Even the most calm otaku has profound fanaticism and fantasy characteristics; Under the guidance of this nature, in the face of the growth of age and the enthusiasm of being gradually flattened by a real millstone, otaku bravely resisted and struggled with it like knights who rushed to the windmill; This is an infinite enthusiasm. When this kind of enthusiasm dominates people, people can only pay enthusiastically with this kind of enthusiasm and fight for their dreams, because that is the most perfect supplement in their hearts, where they can get the highest pleasure, and that is the harbor of their hearts.

floppy

Pay no attention to one's appearance

"It is strongly recommended to keep records of previous inventions."

-Justice, 2004

The so-called "standard" otaku image established in the minds of ordinary people can refer to "fat man with long hair and glasses", but it is not like that, and no one is like that now; However, the unkempt appearance of the otaku followed them like a spell. It is common for many people not to wash clothes and bathe, and it is also common to have long hair among otaku groups, but that is only because they are too lazy to get a haircut. In addition, the living space of otaku is filled with countless cartoons, surroundings, mobile games and books similar to the Dragon Cave. Without the arrangement of parents, if there is something wrong with the otaku, simply clean it up, and this space will soon return to its original state. I can't say that I don't like neat otaku, but the number of such people will not be much more than the fingers on one hand.

expert

expert

Anyone who is qualified to be called an otaku must be an expert in animation besides being passionate about animation. Someone can list the super robot animations in the 1970s and 1980s, and add professional comments. Some people can write all the knowledge of seiyuu enough to compile a dictionary. Some people will blurt out "Oh, this is made by Dayou Shengbo" when they see an animation clip that they have never seen before, and explain it to you in detail immediately; Okada Toshio once mentioned a Hercules who could memorize all the lines of Star Wars movies with sound effects. In fact, in the eyes of otaku, such a person is not unimaginable. Otaku's mastery of animation is based on a lot of animation knowledge and surrounding materials, which complement their enthusiasm for animation.

True see?

Real vision

Otaku's addiction to textual research is reflected in all aspects. Seeing the essence from the surface of the animation, they can dig out all the elements hidden in the animation-and the elements that are not in the animation at all; They can see the meaning and extended meaning of a word in the picture from the style difference of each animation director, and then store this discovery in a huge intellectual library in their minds. An important feature of the animation called "Otaku Animation" is that there are a lot of information elements and hints in the plot and picture, and otaku can conduct textual research and search in this "studio in a frame"; For them, this is a kind of enjoyment.

unyielding

unyielding

In society, otaku is a discriminated group and is widely prejudiced; In China, this prejudice has become a prejudice against anime and anime fans. However, otaku, or anime fans, never flinched because of this prejudice. Thanks to the efforts of the first generation of otaku like GAINAX, the trend of discriminating against animation in the early 1990s finally ended with the popularity of EVA. -What shall we do?

Valentine's day

Valentine's day

Valentine's Day has always been a sad day that otaku doesn't want to talk about. Most otaku have neither flowers to send nor a piece of chocolate on this day; For this neglect, the older generation of otaku will find their own goddess worship in the idealized beautiful girl in the animation, while the new generation of otaku will simply vent their desires on the sweaty vase in the vulgar beautiful girl animation. However, contrary to what most people think, otaku has more female friends than most people: girls may not accept that there are boys who want to love anime besides her, and it is difficult for like-minded women to become lovers. Moreover, for girls who don't understand animation, the eccentric behavior and untidiness of otaku (see these two entries) will scare them away first. Although love is based on mutual understanding, ah ... these otaku brothers are poor. ...

With boiling blood

warm-blooded animal

"Hot blood" is a word that is easy to understand, but difficult to explain in words. It refers to a feeling, and the simplest way to put it is to be so excited that people feel that the whole body's blood is boiling; This experience is purely emotional, so some people use the word "rational collapse" to describe blood. Generally speaking, this feeling is most likely to occur when watching super robot animation or sports, hardcore fighting animation; Blood is people's cry for the boiling atmosphere and shocking pictures in the works, which is why the Glass Cover, which describes acting, is called "blood". "Hot blood" and "Meng" are the two most appropriate explanations of otaku's passion-look at emotionality.

The system of forbidding foreigners to live in Sparta, ancient Greece.

Resist outsiders

Otaku is a lonely creature. Although many people don't understand and despise otaku's hobbies, they think that most people outside otaku should be despised. Those "non-China people" can't enter their circle, and people in the circle never want to actively absorb "outsiders" outside the circle; The gathering place of otaku always presents an atmosphere of cafe or salon, which is the reason. Whether the circle of otaku is big or small, this rule is the same. In fact, for outsiders, the only feeling when facing otaku is probably like Rimi Hajime Kanzaki in GTO. "They speak the same language as me, but I can't understand a word ~ ~" ...

Daiwa

Daiwa

The animation "Space Battleship Yamato" has influenced a generation and reversed the position of animation in people's minds. Similarly, Yamato also created the first generation of otaku; ; Now it seems that Yamato's romantic elements, serious themes and realistic expressions have made it a landmark work and an original classic in the eyes of otaku. After that, all the development of animation began with Yamato, and those elements that made Yamato successful became the foundation of otaku's consciousness field.
