"The second episode is actually twenty-five minutes long?"
Before the video started playing, he glanced at the duration on the progress bar and felt happy.
If we go by the experience of the first episode, there is a high probability that there will be no such thing in "Age of Dawn".
For the vast majority of viewers, unless they really like this animation or it is extremely artistic, they will skip it.
In this regard, Age of Dawn can be said to be very conscientious. There is no opening or ending theme song, and the length of the main film is longer than the length of an episode of an ordinary drama.
Before he clicked on the second episode, he was actually a little uneasy.
After all, the scenes in the first episode gave him too much shock and amazement.
He was a little worried that the level of the second episode would plummet due to the rush to work.
But when the progress bar officially started to move slowly, he knew that his worries all along were unnecessary.
Sure enough, A University is the god of animation!
The action is smooth, exciting, and the blood is flowing in the handsome fighting scenes.
Coordinated images, and incredibly stable painting style from beginning to end.
During this period, because of his love for this animation, he also gained a lot of knowledge about animation painting.
In general animation production, different original paintings need to be assigned to multiple original artists for drawing, and sometimes they even need to be assigned to overseas outsourcing studios for processing. Even if there are experienced painting supervisors to control, check and correct the pictures, the picture still remains.
I can feel some discrepancies in the animation.
When the construction deadline is tight, sometimes there will be scenes of epic collapse such as characters being out of shape, movements being out of shape, etc.
However, there is no need to worry about this when watching Age of Dawn.
You will even feel that the world in the animation is real, but it has different dimensions from the real world.
The extremely stable painting style prevents people from feeling "jumping" even for a second, bringing a strong sense of immersion.
Twenty-five minutes passed quickly.
Zhang Xiaozhao sat in front of the table in the dormitory in a daze.
Even though the computer screen was already at the pause screen after the playback, it seemed that his mind had not yet come out of the apocalyptic world created by the animation.
After the foreshadowing and background introduction in the first episode, the second episode slowly opened the plot.
The protagonist Liu Huai awakened the wild instinct hidden in his blood during the practical martial arts assessment before graduation.
After defeating the assessing teacher in the graduation assessment, he became the eleventh student in the college to graduate with an A-level evaluation.
After obtaining high-level examination results as he wished, he had the opportunity to choose between many job departments.
Although even the students who have just graduated from the martial arts academy are unclassified hunters, their strong physical fitness allows them to undertake high-intensity work better than ordinary people. Therefore, whether they are seeking high-paying positions in private companies or in base cities,
It is not difficult to hold a position in an official armed force agency.
The protagonist resolutely chooses the third department that explores the ground and hunts for alien contaminants, which is also the most dangerous job department for hunters.
At the end of the second episode, the protagonist and other newcomers who have just joined the department are led by the seniors of the Third Division to engage in actual combat with artificially raised pollutants.
Facing a polluted body that was three to four meters long, had fierce fangs, and looked like a white ghost, these unclassified hunters who had just graduated from the ivory tower of the academy and took up their jobs were all caught up in uneasiness and fear.
After Zhang Xiaozhao recalled the plot, he could not help but click the play button again, ready to relive the second episode.
Especially the particularly outstanding fighting scene, he watched it several times.
It can only be said that even if there is no plot, a shot like this with perfect expressiveness can make people deeply attracted by it if it is taken out alone and brainwashed.
The extremely realistic and smooth fighting animations are combined with the perfect background music insertion.
The fists and palms intersect, the air waves fly, the air waves and sound effects of tearing the air as the palms roar, and the clicking sounds in the bones due to the sharp and violent movements, instantly fill the sense of power of the battle.
Details such as the tremor of gravel in the arena under your feet, the flying and rustling of sleeves, and other details make people feel that the somewhat powerful and exaggerated battle is supported by a realistic physics engine.
In addition to Zhang Xiaozhao, there are countless young people in China watching the second episode of "The Age of Dawn" late at night.
Some overseas fans even came to Penguin Video in China to watch this episode because they couldn't stand the delayed screening of the foreign-language subtitled version that was only updated on Netflix for several days.
Someone has specially produced a tutorial with pictures and texts to teach people who do not understand Chinese how to watch "Age of Dawn". It also includes various network tools, URLs, and how to open a membership to a video website overseas.
Even if they have no basic knowledge of Chinese, they can't cool down the eagerness of some overseas fans who can't wait to get a glimpse of the animation's animation in advance.
As a result, you can see a very strange picture below the Penguin Video comment area.
From time to time, among the many Chinese comments, there are a few comments in English, Korean, Japanese, etc.
Especially in English, there are people who specifically control the duration of the video barrage based on Chinese subtitles and translate it accordingly.
Of course, the excitement on the Internet did not affect Guan Lang much.
On Saturday, he was still practicing meditation as usual.
It now takes about two hours for him to meditate and practice to completely exhaust his mental energy.
The visualized tiger shape becomes more and more lifelike with day after day of meditation practice, every detail is visible, and it exudes a powerful sense of oppression of the roaring tiger in the forest.
When he finished his meditation and mental practice, the warm sun in the east had slowly risen.
The tongue-like white air condensed into smoke was spit out from the mouth, piercing the rising sun.
He opened his eyes, and there was a glint in his eyes that had not yet calmed down.
What made him feel physically and mentally comfortable was that he had made a small breakthrough in his mental practice last night.
From the original practice, it could move for thirteen days, and now it can move for fourteen days.
Although he was still far away from the stage where the ultimate effect of the technique would reach seventy-seven forty-nine weeks, his rapidly increasing proficiency made him believe that it was not unachievable.
After washing up, he had time to log in to Penguin Video to check the results of "Age of Dawn".
He has not forgotten the contents of the contract he signed with the Penguin Video website.
