Just now, people were saying this guy was just trying to attract attention by writing a pretentious title, but then, in the next moment, Contestant Huajian seemed to have finished drawing all the character designs.
His movements were fluid, as if he didn't need to think at all.
[So fast?! I only switched away for a short while, and when I came back, he's already finished drawing?!]
[Wow, is the one in the white coat the male lead? That pose looks a bit cool, huh? But then, does that mean the setting is a modern city?]
[Hey, hey, hey, is no one mentioning these black stockings? Holy cow, I'm getting starry-eyed. No, even if it's just for this female lead, I have to support him in his live stream!]
[Can you not be so disgusting? You only noticed the black stockings on such a dashing character? What on earth are you looking at with those eyes?!]
[I'm sorry, I repent, but she's really amazing...]
"Sure enough, I knew there were many contestants worth paying attention to in this competition."
"Contestant Huajian, number 28, who wrote the title first, was also the first to complete the character designs. Although everyone initially had many doubts about him, it seems now that he isn't just trying to be a show-off. Personally, I have considerable expectations for him."
"Contestant Xin Mi, number 39, has also brought her elven maiden design to life on paper. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a story about the lifespan theory."
"Contestant Xia Chun, number 18, has also received praise from our judges for her brilliant design. However, as Uncle Big Nose said, the story ultimately has to come back to the story itself. I hope she can create an equally wonderful story."
In front of the big screen, Host Fang Yuan summarized the current situation for the audience and also livened up the atmosphere.
After all, with the story not yet unfolding, a show purely for preparation would inevitably be a bit boring. To keep the audience from leaving, the Host's skill is clearly crucial.
The contestants' creations were still in progress, but the judges couldn't just sit idly by.
After all, they were not invited to the show just to sit there in silence.
Uncle Big Nose was the first to switch his screen to live stream number 28. After all, he had previously expressed his anticipation for steins;gate, and Hua Jian was also the first contestant to complete the character designs. For all intents and purposes, he should come and comment a bit.
Uncle Big Nose pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and immediately chose to zoom in on the character design of Makise Kurisu in the picture. Her long legs in black stockings suddenly filled the screen, and then he nonchalantly zoomed it back to its normal size.
"Hmm, I like this character design. Although it's just a personal preference, there's no doubt that this character's design has successfully caught my eye. Even if the subsequent plot isn't brilliant, just for her, I'd probably continue to follow it."
"In anime, plot, character design, voice acting, and music are all extremely important components. As long as one aspect is particularly outstanding, and the other parts don't drag it down, a work with a very good viewing experience can be produced. As long as this character doesn't collapse, then the lower limit of this work should be secured."
Uncle Big Nose's comments were as usual, showcasing both personal preference and professionalism, which was precisely why the show invited him as a judge.
However, as an equally well-known video creator, Teacher Cowboy Hao had a different opinion: "To be fair, what Uncle Big Nose said also makes sense, but compared to the character itself, I think one thing is worth noting, and that is the overall style."
"Although the story has not yet begun, and the synopsis has not appeared, just from the style of these main characters, one can seemingly see the clues of the story."
"It seems that the color scheme of all the characters is slightly dark. If this isn't due to the contestant's own drawing style, then there's no doubt that the overall tone of this work will appear relatively somber. And yes, after all, the scope we limited requires 'time,' and anything related to time is difficult to escape the realm of tragedy."
Host Fang Yuan also nodded: "Both teachers make valid points. At this rate, I suppose Contestant Hua Jian will be creating the story synopsis next, right? That way, we'll also have a simple understanding of what kind of story steins;gate is."
In the live stream, the audience also discussed animatedly, listening to the two judges' comments.
[Uncle Big Nose really understands me! That zoom-in, if you say there wasn't some instinct behind it, I wouldn't believe it for a second.]
[I declare! Makise Kurisu is my new wife! Black stockings are the best!]
[Don't be so quick to declare! Didn't you hear what Teacher Cowboy Hao said? This work is very likely a tragedy. Don't declare her your wife one second, only to have her 'fed a bento' the next.]
[It wouldn't be that bad, right? Such an important character definitely wouldn't be casually killed off, would they? Even if it's a tragedy, they wouldn't die right at the start. And if the popularity goes up, even if they were originally slated to die, they definitely wouldn't in the end.]
[Wait, wait! Look at the live stream! Stop discussing, did he just enter the anime production machine without writing a synopsis???]
What the audience in the live stream noticed was also quickly noticed by the Host and judges.
Tang Sanshui immediately switched through several high-definition cameras in the creation room, but couldn't seem to find any paper with a story synopsis on the desk.
All that could be found were those few character design drafts.
"No way? Is this contestant improvising?" Tang Sanshui frowned: "I don't have high hopes. Starting to create directly without thorough preparation, is he expecting the machine to automatically generate a wonderful story just by putting characters into it? If that's the case, don't blame me for being blunt, I don't have high hopes for the story created this way."
"Even if the story is thought out in advance, it's better than improvising. Many times, the emergence of an idea can be subversive to the story itself, and it's very likely to completely overturn the previous story, causing destructive damage to the original narrative."
"I don't have high hopes."
In stark contrast to the first two judges, Teacher Tang Sanshui clearly held a pessimistic view, but obviously, this kind of reaction was more what the production team wanted than a show of mere flattery.
Not intending to give Teacher Tang Sanshui any room to maneuver, Host Fang Yuan quickly took over the conversation:
"Hmm, all three teachers have given their respective opinions, and Contestant Hua Jian has already begun creating. The machine has started producing content. We'll know exactly how it turns out once we see it. Then it will be clear how accurate the three teachers' judgments are, and how professional they are."]
