Rebirth of the Father of Anime

For foreign fans, what attracts them the most in "That Year of the Rabbit" is the feminine depiction of war weapons.

Each of the war weapons originally symbolized coldness and cruelty. Under He Chen's superb expression techniques, the women who were transformed into women suddenly developed an extraordinary charm and became friendly. The metal monsters that were originally full of the smell of steel and diesel, after He Chen's magical transformation, seemed to have souls and their own personalities.

He Chen uses a "cute" expression technique. Although he describes the modern history of China, he still attracts a large number of foreign fans. This is all due to He Chen's unremitting efforts to promote the universality of "cute" value.

However, "cute" is just an appearance used to confuse people, just like a disguise covering a trap, but war is still war after all!

At the beginning, because China's technology tree was too low, various effeminate war weapons appeared relatively rarely on China's territory. All this turning point began with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Although this was a sneak attack by an island country on the United States, from an overall strategic level, it was a turning point in World War II and a turning point in the Chinese mainland campaign, so He Chen also wrote about this famous battle.

It was originally a comic that used "cuteness" as its appearance to attract fans, but the emphasis was on being interesting. He Chen even deliberately downplayed the description of war scenes. For example, in a battle between two parties, He Chen would only describe the appearance and results. As for the process, He Chen did not describe it. After all, what he wanted to describe was history, and only the beginning and the takeover were the most clear. . As for passing. He himself has never experienced that war. Naturally, it cannot be described "really".

In order to establish the unshakable status of "That Year of the Rabbit", He Chen did not describe any details of the battle that could not be "confirmed".

However, even such a deliberately downplayed description of war scenes still made fans excited.

Let’s first take a look at the ship girls who appear in this battle.

Let’s talk about the US military first:

Three aircraft carriers: Enterprise, Lexington, and Saratoga.

Nine battleships: Pennsylvania, California, Maryland, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado.

There are also twenty cruisers, sixty-nine destroyers, and twenty-seven submarines.

Let’s take a look at the island nation’s shipgirls:

Six aircraft carriers: Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Feilong, Shokaku, and Zuikaku.

Two battleships: Hiei and Kirishima.

Three cruisers: Tone, Chikuma, and Avukuma.

Nine destroyers: Tanikaze, Urakaze, Hamakaze, Isokaze, Shiranui, Kasumi, Haguro, Kagero, and Akiun.

And thirty submarine ships.

There were more than a hundred ship girls from both sides in total, and these ship girls alone stood majestically on the sea. It is enough to give people a sense of oppression of war.

There seems to be a conspiracy theory here. It seems that President Roosevelt received intelligence from British Prime Minister Churchill beforehand, but did not take any measures. Instead, he withdrew the air defense force and transferred three aircraft carriers, one battleship, Thirteenth Cruiser, and four Ten destroyers were moved out of port.

This makes it easier for island countries to successfully conduct sneak attacks.

Of course, the island country is not yet qualified to bribe President Roosevelt. Some people think that the reason is because there were disagreements in the United States at the time. President Roosevelt wanted to join the war, but the domestic resistance was too loud. Therefore, the island country's action was simply to send pillows to President Roosevelt. This was used to stimulate domestic sentiment to participate in the war and integrate domestic forces. This was also an important battle that established the United States' later world hegemony.

It can be said to be a turning point that affected the course of world history.

However, the "national security" level communication between President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill has not yet been declassified, so what happened in it is unknown.

The only thing that is known is that the purpose of the island country's sneak attack was to destroy the US aircraft carrier. However, when the sneak attack started, it was discovered that the US aircraft carrier was not anchored in the port.

He Chen only gave three scenes here. One is the gathering of ship girls before the war begins, and the other is when the war begins. There are no aircraft carrier girls in Pearl Harbor, and some other ship girls are also missing. The three scenes are after the war...

This sneak attack, for its strategic purposes, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a brilliant victory from a short and medium term perspective, and its results far exceeded the furthest ideas of its planners and have not been achieved in the entire history of warfare. , such results are also very rare. For the next six months, the U.S. Navy was insignificant in the Pacific theater. Without the threat of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the island country could completely ignore the power of other powers in Southeast Asia. Since then, it has occupied the entire Southeast Asia and the southwestern Pacific, and its power has expanded to the Indian Ocean.

The U.S. military suffered heavy losses this time, and the battleships California, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Arizona were sunk. Their heroic figures left the eyes of fans forever, sleeping in the cold and dark sea.

Another target ship, the Utah, was sunk. Three cruisers, three destroyers, and three other ships were damaged. The battleships Maryland, Tennessee, and Nevada were severely damaged, and Pennsylvania was slightly damaged.

A further 232 drones were lost.

The wine machine girl who was in high spirits before, enjoying the relaxing sea breeze, suddenly became scarred and dilapidated.

Just one scene made people realize the cruelty of war. War is not a game!

Battleships don't bleed, but He Chen used the ship's mother to make this bloody scene.

Even though they knew it was history that had already happened, American fans still couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts when they saw this scene.

Although "Those Things That Rabbit That Year" tells the history of the island country's invasion of China, it is still popular in the island country. Needless to say, He Chen's fame and influence in the island country goes without saying. To put it in a more pretentious way, the children in the island country may not know who their faces are, but they will definitely know He Chen's name.

In addition, I am afraid that the ship girls, machine girls, etc. inside are another important reason to attract them.

Because although it tells the history of the war between the two countries, He Chen did not deliberately discredit it and painted the warship girls and machine girls in their country very, very "cute".

On the other hand, in China, because the technology tree is too low, Rabbit does not have high-end weapons such as ship girls and machine girls, and Baldy mostly buys things from abroad, without any local characteristics. As for the car girls and weapon girls, the rabbits give people a very strong rustic atmosphere, that is, they are earthy. Compared with the brightly dressed weapons from other countries, the various girly weapons on the scene look like they came from a remote mountain village. The village girl's clothes are covered with patches, which is very characteristic of the times.

Even Hua Xia's fans have complained about these, hoping that He Chen can draw more "cute" things for Hua Xia.

However, this is history. There is no way that He Chen could give something to China that China did not have in history, right? In this case, this work will be reduced from "history" to "entertainment".

Besides, this is just the beginning, history is constantly evolving, and "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" will continue to be serialized along with history. Just because it didn't exist at the time doesn't mean it doesn't exist now. It was very rustic at the time, but now... it's still very rustic, but it has a combat effectiveness of 5.

Chinese fans are like rabbits in comics, looking at the foreign warship girls and machine girls with red eyes, and then thinking about getting a bunch of them for themselves to make the history of the harem. This is really what he did. He Chen used very simple writing techniques to deeply implant the most essential part of the history of the struggle between the Turks and the Communist Party into the hearts of fans. There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy created it for us.

It is this kind of comparison. Although this is a description of a war between two countries, and the island country is destined to be the defeated party, but because of these cute weapons, "That Rabbit That Year" still has a good reputation in the island country. Popularity.

When the Pearl Harbor attack broke out, the island nation was also in a state of shock.

However, it was not all a joyful attitude.

The fleet of the island country is a ship girl, and the fleet of the United States is also a ship girl. He Chen did not paint it as a deep-sea destroyer.

They fell in love with "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" because of the ship girls, machine girls, etc. No matter which ship girl they were, they liked it very much. If it sinks, it will be a sad thing for them.

This shows people another side of war: there is no common boss, only mutual enemies.

"If it was a fair and just fight with the spirit of a warrior, I wouldn't say anything, but why was it a sneak attack?"

There is no shamelessness in war, only victory and defeat. Some people are not suitable for war.

Both are ship girls, the same "cute", it seems like a kind of artificial cannibalism. Originally, the US ship girls did not want to participate in the war, but the island country still went to fight. Some island people themselves were disgusted with such behavior.

"Although we won and we should be cheering, it was very uncomfortable to see those sinking ship girls."

"Why do you want to fight the ship girl?"

"Why start such a war?"

There are already some "pacifists" or "Madonna halo" people who have begun to reflect on the war.

The cruelty and cruelty of war are vividly displayed through the anthropomorphic ship girl.

He Chen has always adhered to the principles of fairness and justice, and of course it is impossible to favor one against another. Since the fans in the United States have been "healed", it is natural that He Chen has also prepared a "healing" feast for the fans in the island country. (To be continued...)
