I have loved watching anime since I was a child, and I recently caught up with a new serialized Japanese anime called "Animal Rhapsody". Listening to the name, it looks a bit like "Zootopia" that was released in the United States. But different from the lively and uplifting inherent style of American movies, this animation with animals as the protagonist still has the unique delicacy and depth of Japanese manga
In the world constructed by the works, herbivores and carnivores are anthropomorphized. They are like human beings in real society, with cities, schools, supermarkets, parks In order to maintain social harmony and protect herbivores who are vulnerable groups, it is clearly stipulated that eating meat is an illegal and criminal act equivalent to killing!
Although this apparently provided a protective umbrella for herbivores and eased the contradictions between the two types of races, the nature of carnivores was suppressed, so there were still many criminal cases of herbivores being eaten and killed in society or on campus. The case even gave birth to a "black market" that sells the remains of herbivores, and even carnivores may be eaten and killed.
Under such a social background, herbivores and carnivores are fighting silently. The male lead, Legosi, is a very tall wolf. He is kind, simple, gentle and introverted. However, because of his fierce appearance, he is often regarded by many unfamiliar animals as violent, and they all stay away from him. The heroine Chun is a miniature rabbit that is not enough to grasp, petite and cute, but indulges herself. As high school students, they almost had sex because of Legoshi's uncontrollable nature. With the further development of the plot, Legoxi discovered that, as a carnivore, he fell in love with a rabbit? ! Or a rabbit that he couldn't bear to eat
This is a wonderfully conceived story! Although the main line revolves around the contradiction between herbivores and carnivores, it also alludes to a problem in the real human society-how can the strong and the weak live in harmony?
Carnivorous animals refer to the strong. In addition to possessing great strength and even many labels such as "Kongwuli" and "arrogant", their words and deeds have also attracted a lot of attention. Even the act of helping herbivores with good intentions will be mistaken for malicious intentions!
I remember a thought-provoking line in the Chinese animation movie "Nezha": "The prejudices in people's hearts are like mountains" Carnivores have long been recognized as powerful and vicious, which makes their situation even more embarrassing. Because no matter what they do, they will be accused of conspiracy! Even talking to herbivores can make those weak animals tremble.
In the same way, herbivores represent the weak, the safest and most vulnerable group. They are afraid of carnivorous animals deep in their hearts, and relying on their status as a vulnerable group, they can occasionally override carnivorous animals. This also exacerbates the contradiction between the two groups, and makes the carnivores, who are already hard-pressed by nature, more and more hate the herbivores who are clearly powerless, but can dictate to them.
At present, the work is still being serialized, and I am also looking forward to the development of the follow-up plot! How to explore the balance between the weak and the strong? It is not only the theme that this anime wants to express, but also a path that human society is still exploring
Therefore, a wolf falling in love with a rabbit is indeed difficult for many animals to accept! For example, whenever Legoshi opened his mouth and exposed his fangs to eat, Haru, who was a rabbit, was very afraid. Moreover, Legosi also thought that she just regarded Chun as a prey at first, so she doubted her true feelings for her: Is it love? Or out of primal instinct of appetite?
Therefore, this also leads to the second topic of this article: the difference between love and liking?
I remember there is a very popular saying on the Internet: Like is possession, love is restraint.
The height and depth of love far exceed simple likes, especially when love is applied to people (the work refers to animals), this word must be used with caution, caution, and caution! ! !
From the beginning, Legexi wanted to eat Chun, and then gradually changed his thinking, and even risked his life to save Chun from the claws of the lion. The obsession with protecting what you hold dear. So, this is already the category of love.
Similarly, this principle can also be reflected in real life, whether it is family or love. Compared with love that is still possessive, family love is the most unquestionable and great emotion!
For example, the love of parents for their children allows them to let go of bad habits such as laziness, bad habits, and impetuous temper when they are single after they become parents. Instead, they can wake up early in the morning and cook a delicious breakfast for their children. . Even if they used to be able to sleep until noon, let alone eat breakfast. Furthermore, they areAfter being parents, you can also give up your social life, hobbies, and interests, and work hard for the growth of your children, rain or shine, and work hard
This is an excellent Japanese anime. The production level of the animation version pays special attention to details, which is exquisite and meticulous, which is pleasing to the eye. In addition, the world and characters created by the works reflect many practical problems. We humans often regard ourselves as the masters of the universe, but ignore the spirituality of animals. If we endow animals with the unique emotions and wisdom of human beings, it is not difficult for us to see that the animal world is also wonderful and full of highlights!
