Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

The unfortunate thing is that the culprit, Ani, actually... developed the ability to crystallize after being caught, and sealed himself in a crystal.

When the animation audience saw such an ending, they were obviously extremely angry and unbelievable.

"So this will allow her to live?"

"Damn it! Just smash her and that broken rock together! I want to smash her directly into pieces! Turn her into a pile of slag!"

"Woo woo woo! My my Pei Mei!"

"You're forcing her not to kill him? Don't make it a plot to forgive her later!"

"No way? Wouldn't that be disgusting?"

"Yes, so many people in the Survey Corps died because of her, including Levi's elite soldiers."

"By the way, have you forgotten that the giant is the work of the old thief Qingshan?"

"You can always trust Lao Zei! His works usually never disappoint!"

"When will the old thief Machima forgive his enemies?"

"So... I understand! Is it possible that the protagonist will eat Annie later?"

"I guess there will be some plot twist later? My guess is that Eren eats Annie, and then the power of the giant is enhanced, and he destroys all the enemies in times of crisis!"

"If the person upstairs is really a prophet... I'll give you a knife!"

……

As soon as the animation of "Attack on Titan" came out, it attracted the attention of the industry and beyond. The most important thing is...

The animation is really outrageous!

Needless to say, Lin Qingshan has been occupying this kind of private territory in China for many years. He has the most fans among all cartoonists at present.

The number of followers on his Weibo social platform has exceeded 300 million, which is quite exaggerated.

However, it is well known that the fans of Weibo platform are very fake.

Generally speaking, it is useless to look at the number of followers, what matters most is the number of loyal fans.

The so-called iron fans are fans who frequently interact on Weibo for more than three days. In addition to being living fans, this also shows that they are die-hard fans.

Although Lin Qingshan doesn't manage his Weibo account very much, and has very few loyal fans, he is also a man who can get more than 1+ loyal fan interactions in less than 9999 minute of posting on Weibo.

Compared to Station C, which is relatively less watered down, his account has over 100 million followers!
Station C launched the first season of the "Attack on Titan" animation. As of the first month, the number of views has exceeded 100 million!
It is even continuing to rise towards 200 million views!

This is certainly quite enviable, but after all, this is Lin Qingshan's work.

The title of the king of contemporary comics has made him a very popular figure in the country.

To put it bluntly, even if Lin Qingshan's latest work is a piece of crap, no one would believe it and would wait to see whether it is good or not.

As long as his works are not a cliché, there will be many people who admire them.

But when they saw that the number of views exceeded 100 million within one month of its launch, many people still felt that it was... too exaggerated!

This is of course because...

"Attack on Titan" is not only the work of Lin Qingshan, but also an excellent work that is extremely excellent and eye-catching!
Especially the setting and the early and middle plots of the comics. It can be said that if Mr. Jian had not created some controversy later, the reputation of Attack on Titan would not have declined.

But it was just a decline, not even as complete a collapse in the later period as "Dragon Clan", nor as direct annihilation of both red and black groups as Devil Academy.

Now with the wonderful plot of "Attack on Titan" and the gold medal reputation accumulated by Lin Qingshan over the years, of course 1+1 is more than just equal to 2.

And also...the huge amount of promotional resources enjoyed by "Attack on Titan".

It exploded! It was an absolute explosion!
It can be clearly seen on the new anime list of Station C that the most popular anime is the first season of "Attack on Titan".

But if you look at the second-place new anime, its popularity and playback volume are obviously far behind, especially the playback volume is only over 80 million.

But this does not mean that the second season of the new anime "Shadow Lord" which ranks second is of average quality. On the contrary, it has accumulated popularity and reputation from the first season.

Although this anime series is a purely brainless and cool show about a powerful dragon, its popularity and reputation are very strong.

With more than 80 million views, it is definitely qualified to dominate the new anime list, but it’s a pity that... it encountered the more outstanding "Attack on Titan".

With the quality of the work, the popularity of the original author, and the publicity and promotion resources all directly crushing it, "Shadow Lord" can only be completely defeated and have to obediently hand over the position of the new anime overlord.

As for its popularity and the number of views in China, only Benya and his fellow comics are jealous.

Especially when Benya saw Lin Qingshan's "Attack on Titan", which was obviously aimed at their nation, the chosen people of God, his eyes turned red.

But what made him most upset and angry was actually...

"Attack on Titan" is not only very popular in the Republic, but also outside of it... it is extremely popular!

That’s right, although “Attack on Titan” is strictly prohibited from being released online, not only the comics but also the animation is of course prohibited as well, so even the international version of Station C has not released the first season of the “Attack on Titan” animation.

but……

It’s that mysterious website called “ACG Enthusiasts” again!

When the first season of "Attack on Titan" was directly launched in China, multiple language versions of the first season of "Attack on Titan" were also launched simultaneously!
After half a year of development, this mysterious website seems to have become the largest Lin Qingshan fan support site abroad.

They just directly acted it without any acting. It is impossible that ordinary pirated websites only copy a few animation series.

Usually, the most popular and highly watched animation series are uploaded to the website.

But this pirated website only carries those works of Lin Qingshan that have been banned!

All the other popular anime series that can be played normally on the international version of Station C are not moved at all!

You have to know that this website can even find the 4K version of the first season of "Attack on Titan" animation, and it even comes with subtitles translated from languages. How is it possible that they cannot carry the popular animations on other websites of C Station?

This is not a pirated website!

It is a premeditated and organized attempt to avoid the external version of the official website!

And they really don’t make any money, there is no revenue-generating advertising, and the only advertisement is actually...

The United Nations Red Cross Love Channel to support the people of the monastery!

This is really obvious.

It is obvious that behind this "ACG Enthusiasts" pirated website is Station C, the Qianli Danmu Culture Group!

But even if they speculated so, they could do nothing about Station C.

Okay, you say that Station C is behind this pirated website, then please show us the evidence!
IP address, physical address location, and even witness testimony of the person(s) behind the website operation... You have to hand one over, right?

Otherwise, how can you insult someone's innocence without any evidence?
The result is really... No!

Whether it is the family capital behind Benya, other forces, or even the official cybercrime information department of Ame, they have used all their manpower, resources and methods to track the IP and even physical address behind this pirated website in the past six months.

They didn’t gain nothing, but they all…

Buckingham Palace! The Pentagon! The White House! NASA! Even the server addresses of big corporations!

is it possible? !
It's obvious that the other side is playing tricks on them!

There is even a saying there that behind this pirated website is "Nuwa", the most powerful artificial intelligence AI of the University of Tokyo.

After years of self-updating and iteration, "Nuwa"'s intelligence and capabilities are already somewhat similar to those of the AI ​​that rule over humans in science fiction movies.

When they tried to launch a cyber attack on the Asian Winter Games held at the University of Tokyo not long ago, they witnessed the power of "Nuwa".

Less than half an hour after launching a counterattack, their side was almost completely paralyzed, and they had no way to deal with it.

"Nuwa" is the first artificial intelligence in the world and the University of Tokyo. It has updated and iterated itself at least tens of thousands of times.

They are still studying how to replicate and research the same artificial intelligence, and even to this day, they have only made an AI with quite good self-learning ability.

"Nuwa" has already been iterated tens of thousands of times, and the gap between them is indeed incomparable.

There is even a saying among the technical staff of the Cyber ​​Crime Investigation Division that... they will never be able to defeat "Nuwa".

So after this statement came out, few people tried to touch this website.

This website gradually grew and became the base camp for Lin Qingshan’s fans on the Internet!
Then recently the website launched the first season of the "Attack on Titan" animation, and they all rushed in to watch it as soon as possible.

At first, no one on the Internet cared about the animation being put online. After all, they became relaxed after they couldn’t stop it.

No matter how popular this anime is, it should be like this.

It's probably similar to Lin Qingshan's previous popular works "Chainsaw Man", "Parasyte" and "EdgeWalker".

Lin Qingshan's popular works vary both at home and abroad.

In addition to "Edgewalker", which is very popular both at home and abroad.

in the country, Lin Qingshan’s “Taoism and Immortals” and “Fate” series are the most popular.

"The Legend of the Immortal" is easy to understand, but perhaps many people are puzzled as to why the "Fate" series is also the most popular in China.

In fact, it’s because... the core setting of the "Fate" series, "Fighting Historical Crickets", has led to many subsequent sequels bringing in famous generals and writers from the history of the Republic.

What about Saber Li Bai, Caster Jiang Ziya, Berserker Guan Yu, Assassin Jing Ke, Lanser Li Shuwen, Rider Zhao Guangyi...

All of them have been brought out.

They are basically all very powerful. Except for Rider, the ones mentioned above basically all have at least extremely powerful Noble Phantasms in the Holy Grail War.

Therefore, the "Fate" series has become very popular in China...

It can be said that the core of the settings and background stories of Lin Qingshan’s most popular works in China are the culture of the Republic.

However, these works are not very popular abroad.

However, according to the same logic, Lin Qingshan’s most popular works abroad are naturally those few… The core of the settings and background stories are all works that are close to foreign culture!

Lin Qingshan's most popular works abroad are of course "EVA" and "Chainsaw Man", which are based on the concepts of the Holy Bishop's angels and demons, as well as "Parasyte", which also became popular after being promoted together with the environmentalist girl.

So this time, the popularity of the "Attack on Titan" animation is just that, how many people can watch it at most?

But what they don’t know is…

In Lin Qingshan's previous life, the animation "Attack on Titan" was an incredibly popular anime all over the world!
Especially in...Europe and the United States!
……

USA, California.

James, who has been married to a white colleague and has his own family for many years, is enjoying a weekend vacation.

Although he has two children over the years, he has never changed his interests and hobbies as a fan of the two-dimensional subculture.

He even plans to train his children to be subculture enthusiasts like him.

"Honey, I'm going back to work today. You have to take good care of Alan and Lucy today!"

Wife Ashley instructed.

"OK, I'll take good care of them, don't worry."

James replied.

Then after his wife drove to work, he took the two children and said, "Honey, what do you want to play today? Dad can play with you. Why don't we go to the amusement park later?"

"Hey, Dad, can we continue watching anime today?"

Allen said somewhat abnormally, "I heard that Attack on Titan has been launched on the fan website! And the complete series!"

"That's right! Dad! I want to watch anime too, to see Eren defeat the Titans!"

Lucy on the side also said in agreement.

The two little ones have now followed the couple's hobbies and have become the new generation of 2D enthusiasts under the influence of their surroundings.

In fact, most children from middle-class families in the United States are like this. They have no worries about food and drink, but they want to continue to make progress, but they don’t have the family background or talent, so they basically like ACG subculture or sports.

Basically, children at this age will only like ACG subculture more.

"That's great! Let's watch the giant together!"

James chuckled. Of course he would love to have this happen.

He is... a long-time fan of cartoonist Aoyama!
Starting from "EdgeWalker", he has watched "Flame Fist", "Chainsaw Man", "Parasyte" and even "Taoism", which is based on the relatively obscure Republic culture compared to European and American culture.

It’s just because of the crazy elements in Qingshan’s works that he can’t stop, just like gentlemen encountering ice.

He feels that this kind of animation work is exciting, close to reality and fantasy at the same time.

The bloody scenes and thought-provoking waves of ideas can bring endless impact.

James has actually already read the latest volume of the "Attack on Titan" comics, so naturally he has higher expectations for the animation.

He had long wanted to see what the animation was like, but he had been on duty and was very busy.

He then took the children to sit in the living room on the second floor and watched the first season of the animation "Attack on Titan" on the projection screen. (End of this chapter)
