Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"...Is this Xiaomeiyan?"

Two hemp flower braids, and eyes with big frames, a strong local flavor rushes forward.

No wonder people exclaim in surprise.

Originally, they were still looking forward to seeing how Xiao Meiyan would deal with "Night of the Witch" alone, but when the new episode was broadcast, they suddenly discovered that it seemed that their opening method was wrong.

This girl who looks extremely introverted, speaks softly, hesitates, has big frame eyes, wears two big braids, and has a face full of fear and anxiety. The heroic and glamorous magical girl Akami Homura who impressed me deeply is simply a world of difference.

Xiaomeiyan once again became a classmate of Xiaoyuanlian as a transfer student.

Why do you say again?

Because the familiar scene at this time is exactly the same as the scene when Xiao Meiyan appeared in the first episode.

The difference is that in the first episode, Xiao Meiyan was very cold and glamorous, but in this episode she is an introverted local girl with a bit of low self-esteem.

The little round face also seems to have changed a bit. In the first episode, because of the gentleness and kindness, the little round face always gave people an impression of indecision and a little unconfident, but the little round face here is extremely confident and cheerful.

The most important point is that in the first episode, Xiao Meiyan knew Xiaoyuanlian at the beginning, but here, she doesn't know Xiaoyuanlian at all.

"I got it! Xiaomeiyan's magic is time control, and this is the world where she met Xiaoyuanlian for the first time!"

QB said that Xiao Meiyan is not from this world, she is from another world.

The audience gets it. Here is the way of using interludes. Let's tell the story of Akami Homura. And this story is where it all started.

In the previous stories, Xiao Yuanlian was the bystander, but in the original world, it was Akami Homura who was the bystander.

And what she was looking at was the little round face that had become a magical girl.

Although the name of this work is "Magical Girl Little Round Face", the question of Little Round Face has never been a magical girl has finally been answered-she was originally a magical girl.

The long-haired senior sister made an appearance again,

It brought short-term comfort to the hearts of fans. But in a blink of an eye, in the night of the witch, she once again received the lunch box gloriously-what made the fans worth celebrating was that the senior sister left behind the whole body.

Because the bento left a whole body, it is worth celebrating, and I am afraid that there is only "Magic Girl with Round Magical Face" that has brought psychological shadows to countless people.

At this time, Xiaomeiyan has not yet become a magical girl. Facing "Night of the Witch", Xiaomeiyan cried and hoped that Xiaoyuanlian would run away, but Xiaoyuanlian rushed up alone without hesitation in order to protect people.

Then. Little round face also got another lunch box.

Among the ruins, Xiao Meiyan was lying on Xiaoyuanlian's body. Xiao Meiyan shed tears of sadness and pain: "Why, why did you die like this... I knew it would happen, but I hope you can live on..."

Amid Xiao Meiyan's sobs, QB's figure gradually appeared beside her.

Then, Xiao Meiyan signed a contract with qb and became a magical girl.

Signing a contract with qb requires a wish, and the most sincere and urgent wish aroused in the heart corresponds to the ability after becoming a magical girl.

For example, the wish that the senior sister made when she was dying was to live, that is, to continue her life, so her ability is specialized in "connecting" and "binding together" objects. Although the battle is performed with guns, the body of her magic power is actually a ribbon.

The wish Saya made was to heal the hand of her loved one, so the ability she got was also related to healing.

As for Xiao Meiyan, the wish she made was not to resurrect Little Round Face, but...

"When I met Madoka, I want to start over... no longer as the me who is blindly protected, but as the me who protects her!"

Because of her small round face, she changed from introverted and timid to strong.

She wanted to "do it all over again", so she got the magic of controlling time. She came to the very beginning again, the original time when she had just recovered and was about to transfer to Little Round Face School.

She still looks like a local girl, but she is no longer shy, with a cheerful and strong smile.

In order to help and protect Xiaoyuanlian, she learns various fighting methods that can be matched with her abilities.

However, in "Night of the Witch", Little Round Face's soul gem was consumed due to the excessive use of magic in battle and became cloudy, so Little Round Face turned into a witch.

Because the little round face is kind by nature, it can be said that it is a "saint" character who is not self-serving, but dedicated to benefiting others. Her witch-like nature—the witch of relief is also the same source of "compassion", which has the ability to forcibly absorb all life on earth into the enchantment, without physical means of death. There is no other way to bring down this witch than to eliminate the misfortune in the world. If there is no more sorrow in the world, the witch will have the illusion that this is heaven.

It was only then that Xiaomeiyan discovered the truth of everything. With a painful heart, she returned to that day again. She told everyone everything she knew, but her words were so ridiculous that no one believed her.

Until Saya turned into a witch again, confirming Xiao Meiyan's words, this blood-stained shady completely collapsed Ba Mamei-senpai, she smashed Kyoko's soul gem, and seemed to want everyone to die together, in order to save Xiaomei Yan, Little Round Face shattered the soul gem of the senior sister.

Cannibalism caused Xiaoyuan's face to almost collapse-this is not the magical girl she dreamed of at all!

In the last "Night of the Witch", the soul gems of Xiaomeiyan and Xiaoyuanlian have become turbid, Xiaomeiyan also gave up, as if she was dying for love, she wanted to die here with Xiaoyuanlian.

However, I thought that there was no seed of lament that could purify the soul gem, but I didn't expect that there was one left by Xiaoyuanlian. With this last seed of lament, Xiaoyuanlian evolved Xiaomei Yan's soul gem.

Because Xiaomeiyan has the ability to go back to the past, Xiao Yuanlian hopes that Xiaomeiyan can change all these tragedies.

"It's a promise! I will definitely save you! No matter how many times I repeat it, I will definitely protect you!"

The original mysterious and cold image of Akami Homura has finally become lively and full. Xiaomeiyan shed tears and made a promise for Xiaoyuanlian. In the end, when Xiaoyuanlian wanted to keep her human identity and died, amidst Xiaomeiyan's heart-piercing cries, she broke down. The soul gem that shattered Little Round Face.

There is nothing more excruciating, more tormenting than having someone kill a loved one with their own hands—even if the loved one asks for it.

Xiao Meiyan started a new reincarnation again, her eyes were firm, she no longer had any confusion, her only purpose was to change all these tragedies.

She untied her braids, and people watched step by step an introverted and timid girl grow into a glamorous black long straight.

She didn't want to involve Xiaoyuanlian again, so she didn't recognize Xiaoyuanlian again. She killed all the QBs who wanted to seduce Xiaoyuanlian, and warned Xiaoyuanlian, and prepared all the witches for herself. Solve it alone, including Witch's Night.

However, the scheming whore qb who is everywhere and always scheming against Xiaoyuanlian made Xiaoyuanlian see Xiaomeiyan's tragic battlefield, and took advantage of Xiaoyuanlian's kindness to seduce Xiaoyuanlian again, and the tragedy happened again. Happened again.

In a world of ruins, Xiao Meiyan knelt on the ground without shedding tears—because the tears had already been shed in the infinite cycle of reincarnation.

Xiao Meiyan stood up, turned and left without hesitation or nostalgia.

QB asked suspiciously: "Aren't you fighting?"

Xiao Meiyan's calm and cold voice floated over: "No, my battlefield is not here."

Xiao Meiyan jumped out of the world, walked on the world, her steps were firm and powerful, and her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

Reincarnation... I will be reincarnated countless times, spending the same time constantly, searching for the only exit, looking for the passage that can save you from the hopeless fate, Madoka, my only friend, you, if it is for Even if you are trapped in this labyrinth called "Forever", it doesn't matter!

The world finally returns to the well-known plot-the moment when the animation begins.

The main plot of the tenth episode did not progress, but flashed back.

The mystery of Xiaomeiyan's body is gradually revealed, and she wishes to protect Xiaoyuan's face and become a magical girl with the ability to travel through time. She fights to save Madoka's fate in reincarnation, fails again and again and endures the mockery of fate. The journey of the previous nine episodes ushered in Si-style eternal calamity.

The introduction of time travel enriches Xiao Meiyan's image immediately, and raises the realm of the whole drama to a higher level, from the contradictions and conflicts of the plot to the thinking and exploration of the origin of tragedy.

In the first nine episodes, the expectation of the ending is still at the level of "justice defeating evil" or "starting the journey again after a difficult victory", but after the tenth episode, a philosophical tragedy view of the twilight level of the gods has emerged .

The discussion and reverie aroused in just 20 minutes are far more than any previous episode, which shows the strong dramatic tension contained in the tenth episode.

The narrative draws on the Rashomon-style framework, and tells the different endings of Xiaomei Homura's contract and multiple reincarnations in multiple retrospectives.

It can be called a supernatural storyboard, omitting the frontal narrative, intercepting the scenes and details of the first episode and re-enacting it many times, condensing the plot of the first nine episodes into a few most concise images, and giving people echoes everywhere. Foreshadowed suddenly.

The gradual changes of several details in repeated reprints not only revealed some suspense in the first nine episodes, but also used coherent logic to describe Xiaomeiyan's growth process from youthfulness to vicissitudes in endless reincarnation.

Among the large number of shots, some are soothing and some are thrilling. This wonderful 20 minutes is reconstructed through exquisite montage, which is highly concentrated without being rushed, and maintains a clear order, while further enhancing the suspense of the main plot.

The storm of "Magical Girl Round Face" was pushed to another level. (To be continued..)
