This may be a bit difficult for foreign Steemians to understand. So... Let me tell you little bit about the habit of Hong Kong local people's entertainment first. In Hong Kong, apart from the local TV drama, we also watch overseas TV dramas frequently. Like when I was small there were X-Files, Lost on English channels and now, well, we have Netflix too. Besides, we also like Asia's, e.g. Japan's and Korean's.
Recently, I had heard that a supporting cast in a Japanese drama called, Unnatural, hits many drama fans hearts, (especially females' heart, lol). This drama is about forensic pathology service. The character I am going to talk about is Nakadou (cast by Iura Arata). A cool character, describe in short, like Sherlock (BBC one). Difficult to handle but sometimes cute, always clever. So, easy to understand why catch people's sight.
When I look at the promotion video, I just guess is he the beloved one in a Japanese movie many many years ago, Ping Pong. Bingo@@! Time flies! The quiet and clam teenage now becomes a cool sociopath young-ojisan xD Ping Pong is also hot-blooded, but the character design and story telling is different from traditional hot-blood sport comic. I think, more delicate, deeper in character portrait (focus on grow with no limit and hero comic is not so attractive to me).
There was an original comic and anime two years ago. I was a fan of anime movie Tekkonkinkreet, the same comic artist, Matsumoto Taiyou. I like his style, somehow I drew in this style in the past, or you can find in some old posts. Definitely affecting me.
(天啊英文打好長)背景那段我省下了,反正大家都知道平常看英美日韓劇是怎麼一回事xD 重點是最近看到日劇《UNNATURAL》裡有一位配角中堂先生滿有人氣的。頭腦好、有點社交困難、最近開始有點人性化兼賣萌,不少人被迷倒了。但最令我吃驚的是那頭亂髮下藏著一張有點熟識臉!雖然知道他一直有上電影和電視劇,但都剛好是我沒有看的。不過還是暗暗想說我被迷倒時他還是叫ARATA... 《乒乓》裡那個憂鬱少年今天變成了陶大宇跟張家輝合體了@@ 時光飛逝啊xDD
《乒乓》是運動題材,但喜歡它不像那種無限升級、老套路的熱血故事。主角還是很強,畫風還是很誇張,但描寫更細緻 (太正向太熱血的漫畫我有點受不了...)。它還有動畫跟漫畫,我應該也要看看。作者松本大洋的《惡童》是我最喜歡沒有之一,畫風對我影響好大,大概在一些舊文章裡也看得出來吧?
