This variety show hosted by Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno,
is intended to discuss controversial points within the industry,
essentially a way to piggyback on trending topics,
but due to the high standing of the two hosts in the industry,
Ceng Re Du has transformed into critique,
and during these critiques,
different viewpoints often collide,
which is also when the show reaches its peak in popularity.
Simply put,
this show exists for the sake of creating drama!
Therefore,
when Hayao Miyazaki said that Gege Akutami and Rena Takeda should evaluate each other's works,
viewers in the live chat and the audience in the studio,
all knew that controversy was coming!
But no one could have predicted,
that Gege Akutami would be so direct,
opening with a shocking statement!
“My opinion on Kamen Rider Amazons is that it's a love idol drama disguised as a tokusatsu.”
In that instant,
the live chat, filled with unfiltered comments, erupted!
【Yes, yes, absolutely! Gege Akutami spoke my mind!】
【So true haha! I was too afraid to say it, scared of getting attacked. Gege Akutami is so bold!】
【What's there to be afraid of? It *is* a love idol drama! This second season, so far six episodes, has what to do with the first season?】
【True, except for carrying over some settings from the first season, everything has changed. It's only been a couple of days, right?】
【You're all just cloud goblins! Can't you read the synopsis for the second season? It tells you the story is five years later. Are you still stuck on a couple of days?】
【Funny, now that Chikara and Yui are together, what part of the plot tells you they're going to fall in love? Chikara even said himself, he's curious about humans because he saw one who didn't want to eat humans. He thinks he can also live like humans!】
【I think Gege Akutami must have had his brain cut in half when he drew Gojo Satoru being cut in half!】
【Why invite such a brain-dead manga author? To feed us garbage?】
【......】
Not only did the live chat blow up,
there were also many viewers in the audience discussing and stirring, ready to fight.
If it weren't for the majority of the audience being rational,
controlling the situation,
the studio would have definitely descended into a shouting match!
As for Rena Takeda herself,
her expression was obviously unreadable,
but surprisingly,
she displayed a composure that didn't match her age.
Although her expression was hard to control,
she didn't make any immediate attempts to refute,
because at this moment,
the more eager one is to retort, the more they fall into the other's trap of words!
Gege Akutami hummed, feigning a look at Rena Takeda, and said:
“I didn't mean to offend Miss Takeda, but I still hold my previous opinion, Amazons Season 2 is simply a love idol drama.”
Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno exchanged a look,
both seeing disappointment in each other's eyes.
Although,
this segment is indeed about free speech,
but often, those who like Gege Akutami, who arbitrarily belittle other works according to their own whims,
rarely gain the respect of others.
You can reasonably point out flaws you perceive, providing reasons,
instead of behaving like a spoiled child,
spouting off whatever comes to mind.
This attitude of looking down on everyone,
is a sign of immaturity,
which is also the reason for Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno's disappointment.
They had assumed,
that Gege Akutami was at least a rational writer,
but they didn't expect him to be a guy who gets triggered by a Twitter poll.
So,
silence descended upon the studio for a while,
the awkward atmosphere spreading endlessly.
After confirming that Gege Akutami wouldn't speak anymore,
Rena Takeda managed a strained smile, saying:
“Since Mr. Gege Akutami holds such an opinion about Amazons Season 2, I assume you've watched all six episodes that have aired?”
Gege Akutami nonchalantly shook his head,
“A show of this quality, I don't even need to watch. Aren't there tons of clips online? Here, I'll give you a prediction. The internet is full of discussion about the main character of Season 2, Chikara's identity, right? I think he must be a brand new type of Amazon created by the Nozama Pharmaceuticals company from the first season!”
“The purpose of making him the main character is to tell a blood-boiling story about Amazons and humans truly coexisting! What wasn't completed in the first season will be fulfilled by Chikara in the second season. Eagleyama Jin will definitely appear later and help him!”
“That's right, I think Eagleyama Jin will definitely change sides, reappear from an Amazon perspective, and become a key figure in promoting peaceful coexistence between Amazons and humans!”
After listening to this,
the studio fell silent,
many viewers who had been hostile towards Gege Akutami earlier,
were now silent.
It wasn't because they agreed with Gege Akutami's prediction,
but because they were worried,
worried about what would happen if the story really developed as he predicted!
This story sounds like a complete train wreck!
All that time in the first season,
Eagleyama Jin's lone wolf persona established for so long,
and now it just crumbles in Season 2?
If something like that really happened,
then Amazons Season 2 would truly be awful!!!
But at that moment,
Rena Takeda suddenly let out a burst of laughter.
The previously silent studio,
because of her laughter, began to buzz with discussion again.
Could it be,
that Gege Akutami's prediction was right?！！
Has Lin Feng really run out of ideas,
and written such a cheesy plot?！！
Gege Akutami snorted, saying:
“I predicted this plot back in the first season. It definitely fits the standard cliche of cheesy dramas. Back then, I didn't want to say it because I didn't think it was necessary. Now that more and more viewers are being deceived, I can't stand it anymore, so I have to say something!”
“Pfft!”
Rena Takeda's laughter grew louder.
She raised her hand and covered her mouth tightly. After a long while, she regained her composure and said:
“Since Mr. Gege Akutami is so confident, then let's see what happens, shall we? It's almost 6 o'clock, let's finish watching episodes 7 and 8. I believe everyone's hearts will have the answer.”
With these words,
many viewers voiced their agreement.
Seeing this, Hayao Miyazaki and Hideaki Anno also went along with the flow and started to find the latest two episodes of Kamen Rider Amazons to play!
After Gege Akutami's prediction,
they were also curious,
could the plot really become so cheesy?
With the broadcast of episode 7,
after skipping the recap,
the love scenes that were heavily criticized by netizens,
appeared again.
At this point, Chikara was already working with the new team from the Nozama Pharmaceuticals company, 4C.
Yui was the weapon of the 4C team.
Because of their long time spent together,
Chikara felt like taking Yui out to play, to places that girls like,
Obviously, this part of the plot was once again criticized by the online community.
Even in the plot,
the little details between Chikara and Yui, make people feel a pang in their hearts,
it wasn't the usual heartache that young boys and girls experience,
but the haters didn't care about any of that.
When they dislike a show,
no matter what details it has, it only gets mindless negative reviews.
So,
Rena Takeda wasn't in a hurry,
because she knew that the plot that would truly bring this show to its climax was about to arrive!
——————
In the video,
Yui took her first independent action.
Without anyone guiding her,
she arrived at the bottom of a residential building.
The gentle breeze ruffled her long hair,
revealing her beautiful face, while also showcasing many heartwarming scenes flashing by.
The melodious singing coming from her mouth,
was filled with sadness and sorrow.
Combined with the strange looks people around her gave her,
many viewers gradually began to realize that,
besides Chikara's identity being suspicious,
Yui's identity was also a mystery!
Just then,
three Amazons suddenly appeared.
Under their attack,
Yui gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Even when Chikara arrived later,
the disadvantage was still huge.
In addition to his recent encounter with the weapon called "Fracture Bomb" in the lab,
his condition was extremely poor.
He fought the three Amazons for a short time before being forced out of his transformation!
Just when everyone thought they would have to wait for Mizusawa Yu to appear and turn the tide,
an entirely unexpected person,
crossed over a pile of scrap metal and appeared on the scene!
It was,
Eagleyama Jin!!!
At that moment,
the entire live chat exploded with comments!!!
