CATDOLL: July’s guide to the anime NICO’s final popularity list for July is out

As one of the most important ACG output platforms in Japan, the evaluation of an animation on NICONICO can often influence the entire Japanese network's view of the work. Every time a new series starts, is halfway through, or ends, NICONICO netizens will conduct relevant popularity votes. According to the latest news, the final ranking of July's new series has been announced (works that ended in September are also counted in July's series).

10. Flower Girl

It is said that Hana-mai is good. Indeed, whether it is the painting or the five cute girls dancing together, they are all very attractive points to attract people to watch. Characters with unique personalities acting silly and cute together will never go out of style. And seeing a group of cute girls dancing always gives people physical and mental pleasure. I am afraid that the Im@s party and LL followers have the most say, right? The performance of the voice actors is also remarkable. Although Ueda Reina and Tanaka Minami are newcomers, their expressiveness in the animation is not inferior to that of seniors such as Numakura Manami. If you like watching movies like K-ON and Yuri Yuri, then this movie must be suitable for you.

9. Survival Game Club

A film that was abandoned because no subtitle group took it... I guess everyone would think it's of low quality. But it was quite accepted by the people in District 11. I guess survival games are becoming more and more popular in Japan, especially with the recent promotion of films like "Gun Girls" and "Girls und Panzer", model gun stores are having a much better time. There is no such market in China. Oh, I've gone off topic, speaking of this film... Damn, how can I comment on a film I haven't seen!

In short, it's a story about a bunch of girls who play with guns and do not do their jobs properly.

8. The Irregular at Magic High School

Oh my god, this movie... When people talk about it, they say: the male protagonist is a cheater throughout the whole movie, and he can conquer everything he goes to. This has already gone beyond the scope of the protagonist's halo, he has become the halo!

When I first started watching it, I thought it was quite interesting, although the world view was a bit complicated. Later, the more I watched, the more I felt that the male protagonist was too pretentious, simply against the sky. In the Nine Schools War, the magic equipment was adjusted by the male protagonist, and any project was as good as no one's own. So I ended up half-giving up because it was too pretentious. It's like playing a game, using a modifier to modify the protagonist to kill anyone who stands in your way, and you will lose interest halfway through.

7. ALDNOAH.ZERO

It's not me who is wrong, it's the world and them!! ——XuanXuan

Based on the principle that if someone doesn't die, he's not Urobuchi, and he still died in the last episode... Unexpectedly, Urobuchi stepped forward to prove "It wasn't me!" The production team has played a big game, HoHo~~ In fact, Urobuchi no longer participated in the script creation after the third episode, and according to him, he still wanted the princess and the hero to become lovers in the end... If this is really the case, I guess no one will believe that this is Urobuchi's script.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether people die or not, the plot is quite interesting. The poor mechas on Earth challenge the super-powerful machine giants with Martian technology, but they win battle after battle, and the calm and inhuman male protagonist deserves credit for this. But what is his background and more mysteries can only be explained in the second season.

I'm not the only one who can vaguely feel that the play alludes to certain real-life issues, right?

6. Tokyo Ghoul

Tokyo Ghoul is only sixth. Didn't expect that? I guess with all the publicity, few people have not seen it. I can only say that if you really want to watch it, it's best to wait until the BD/DVD comes out. The TV version is censored, especially the last two episodes.

In fact, those who have read the comics know that due to the length of the TV version, Kaneki's inner drama and other "unimportant" scenes were deleted a lot, but even so, the rhythm of the animation is already very compact. So watching this movie really feels very refreshing. Moreover, with the awakening of Kaneki in the second season, the audience who felt frustrated before will probably feel even more refreshed~~

5. "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3: Stardust Crusaders"

As one of the most popular series in JOJO, this work has attracted enough attention since before it was broadcast. And in the context of more and more thin male protagonists who can frequently cheat, JOJO, which is very "realistic" in terms of painting, surprises us in various ways.

The popularity of the JoJo series does not need much explanation. Although I haven't watched much of it, I am planning to catch up from the first part.

4. "An Ordinary High School Girl Wants to Become a Local Idol"

Well, this ranking does reflect the current trends in Japan.

Japan has created a star-making model, and it has been proven to be very successful in Japan. This pure daily show borrows popular idol elements, and the names of the three main characters are also NETA Mizuki Nana, Tamura Yukari and Horie Yui's Big Three. However, there are no behind-the-scenes training, intrigues and high-cost concert special effects in other idol shows. It just makes people smile after watching it. Like "Genki Kids", if you are tired of watching too heavy and exaggerated works, it is also a good choice to appreciate daily shows occasionally.

3. "Kill the Scarlet Eyes!"

It's a fast-paced movie, even the voice actors read their lines 1.5 times faster than usual... and the speed of delivering lunch boxes is also very fast. The overall feeling is that you don't have time to chew on the next scene. So the shock of someone's lunch box is not that strong.

You never know who will die next, so it's best not to invest too much emotion in the characters (except the protagonist). But you said Akame is the heroine? Why can't I feel that? This role and presence are not even as strong as the tsundere girl playing with guns, and now the big-breasted general on the other side is starting to pay for it. I'm not worried about the male protagonist's chastity, I'm looking forward to when this sister can successfully counterattack!

2. "Monthly Girl Nozaki-kun"

The biggest dark horse of this season. Men, don't shy away from watching this animation just because you think it's for women. Otherwise, you'll regret it - just like me. Fortunately, I stopped myself and started watching it halfway through. Even if it's a work for women, Chiyoko can still make you die of cuteness.

Of course, in addition to the cute and sarcastic Chiyo, the rhythm of a laugh every few seconds in the four-frame works is perfectly inherited. Every episode can make you laugh heartily, and the relationships and personality traits of the characters are vividly portrayed. The contrast between Sawashiro Miyuki's Seo and the geisha made me laugh for 5 minutes. In short, if you want to catch up on the show, this one is definitely not to be missed!

1. "The Boys"

囝 is a polyphonic character, one of which is pronounced as jian with the third tone and the other as nan with the first tone. When pronounced as jian, it means "son, child"; when pronounced as nan, it means "child, same as '楠'". So in terms of meaning, this character should be pronounced as nan in this title.

The Chinese class is over, let’s talk about this movie. In fact, this movie is a very warm and healing life drama. A young calligrapher who has won the second place so "unbearable" results (recommended by all the academic masters!), beat the curator in anger, and was sent by his father to a remote island to live on a remote island. Where he and the villagers gradually felt the strong family and friendship through their daily relationship, and became mature, and began to work hard to write their own words.

It is a very inspiring and good-looking film. It is full of local life and cute children - not only in the film, but also in the children who dubbed the children. The unique innocence of children is difficult for voice actors to imitate through technology. Even the director said that Hara Ryoko (Naru's little voice actor) is so cute, and it would be great to have such a daughter!
