CATDOLL: This domestic animation with a Douban score of 9 is actually just a trailer

Have you ever seen an animated film where the main character's name isn't even revealed?

Have you ever seen an animated series that goes on for 13 episodes and then tells you it’s just a prequel?

Have you ever seen an animated series with 13 episodes in one season and 6 different screenwriters?

In a trance, I felt like I might have been watching a fake animation.

Its name is "Crazy Hero" ~ Oh, no, now it should be called "Crazy Hero: Prequel to Mirror Nordlin"

It is hard to imagine that a production team would have such courage to announce that this is just a prequel (trailer) after making a whole season of 13 episodes of animation. This company called Yihua Kaitian has indeed never played by the rules. There is no work to start with, no support from any big sponsors, and even no stable update time. Such an animation can actually get a high score of 9 on Douban.

The whole story takes place in a completely fictional world - Nordlin, where a group of people who claim to be heroes live. The world is calm on the surface, but undercurrents are turbulent. The apparent calmness of the major races is broken by a system bug. An unknown soldier, Code Slave, enters Nordlin with a broken body and supreme energy, and constantly affects the hearts of many heroes in Nordlin. In the last episode, accompanied by the original BGM "Mirror Nordlin", the Nordlin worldview unfolds, which shows that the ambition of this animation is not small, at least at the level of "Game of Thrones".

This animation rarely has the gorgeous large scenes of other animations. Most of them are close-up shots of characters, which not only highlights the character's personality, but also the fullness of the picture. There are many plots interspersed in the plot, but they are played accurately and the degree of measure is very good. Even the selling of meat and bloody violence are also handled very well. Various details reflect the ingenuity of the production team. Especially the shot of the fight between the code slaves and the tunnel worms in the 13th episode, the whole shot is done in one go, with solid actions and a full sense of impact rarely seen in Chinese animation.

The play starts from the darkest side of the characters' hearts, and reveals the selfishness, hypocrisy and cruelty of the heroes through their attitude towards an unknown creature called "Ma Nu". At the same time, these selfishness, hypocrisy and cruelty also expose the fear in the heroes' hearts. After all, this Ma Nu confirms the prophecy of the ancient prophet. What kind of disaster will be brought about by the prophecy? Let's wait and see in "Mirror Nordlin".
