每年的一、四、七、十月都是日本新动画片集中面世的时节。在刚过去的这个夏天，有哪几部作品可能脱颖而出，成为今年的大热？ With another anime season coming to its end, our Anime Chefs bring you a selected menu of some of this summer’s best anime. With a rather large disparity[悬殊] in taste, we’re included the Special Paste[酱] of Chefs?Reviews in each dish as well. Discovering great dishes is one of the biggest pleasures for fans. At times like these, menus help us realize why we are so addicted[上瘾] to anime: there’s always hope for greater series to come!
Aperitif: BACCANO!
It is the year 1711. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean are a group of alchemists[炼金术士], headed for the new world. They obtained an alcohol from the devil. Those who drank it would become immortal[不死的], and could only be destroyed by being absorbed[吸收] into another immortal’s right hand.
Fast forward to 1930, and to a train full of freaks[怪人] leaving Chicago. An immortal alchemist from New York sets out to revive[复苏] the magic alcohol. Along the way, many get involved, their lives never to be the same.
Onmi: Based on a novel that won gold at the 9th Dengeki Novel Prize Awards, the series features a really good production team and some famous seiyuu. This one tops my must-watch list!
Seleria: I read the description and my eyes just went wide with joy. The Prohibition Era注1 meets alchemy? Sign me up! It sounds somehow……riginal.
Usagi: I like the America-in-the-30s style, as well as the illustrations[插画] of the novel which the anime is based on. The anime quality also turns out to be as good as I expected.
Main Dish: ZOMBIE-LOAN
As one approaches the end of his life, a gray line, invisible[不可见的] to most, would appear around his neck. As time passes, that ring becomes darker and darker, until it is eventually black, and that person dies. Michiru Kita has an unusual gift. Her “Shinigami Eyes”(the Death’s Eyes) allow her to see these rings. When Michiru notices that two of her classmates-Chika Akatsuki and Shito Tachibana-have these black rings, they tell her that they were supposed to die in an accident six months ago. However, they were given a second chance on one condition: they have to kill malicious[邪恶的] zombies to pay for their debt of coming back to life. As the story develops, Michiru, who is forced to assist the boys’work, finds her life changing dramatically[戏剧性地].
Onmi: My initial[首先的] response was, “Another series with shinigami? There really is no creativity left in Japan, is there?”However, the story actually turns out to be quite different from Bleach or Death Note, so never mind……
Seleria: A mainstream story with nice artwork……no bad, as a whole. But the even better part is that the series successfully blends[混入] in some humor amidst the rather dark theme.
Usagi: I love the tension[紧张感] that’s built step by step as the story goes, in addition to all those elements adding complexity to the characters?relationships.
Dessert: Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei (Farewell Sad Teacher)
The name for this series comes from the Japanese word for“despair,”and the main character’s name-Nozomu Itoshiki-can be interpreted[理解] that way if you write it horizontally[水平地]. As his name suggests, our hero is a teacher with a very negative attitude towards life. The story opens up with him trying to hang himself before getting saved by one of his students, who thinks her teacher is just trying to get taller?Onmi: The anime is full of puns[双关语] and jokes. This probably means that those who like Gintama注2 will have a good chance of enjoying this one, too.
Seleria: Just the trailer[预告片] is enough for tugging[拉] my heartstrings[心弦]! It’s a great story of turning despair into hope with some comedy sprinkled[洒] in between.
Usagi: The art is attractive. The show also has a slice-of-life[如实反映生活] feel, though in a really funny way.
又一季动画即将进入尾声，我们的动画大厨为你带来一份精选菜单，里面有这个夏季部分最优秀的作品。由于各人口味不同，我们还在每道菜里加入了“大厨评语”这款特制酱料。发掘美味的动画佳肴是粉丝最大的乐趣之一。每逢这个时候，各式菜单都会让我们意识到我们为什么对动画如此痴迷：希望总会有的，更好看的动画也会有的！
餐前酒：《BACCANO! 》
1711年，一群炼金术士横渡大西洋，前往新世界（美洲）。他们从恶魔手中得到一种酒。喝过这种酒的人可以长生不老，唯一能毁灭这些永生者的方法就是被其同类的右手所吸收。
快进至1930年，正当一辆满载着各种怪人的列车从芝加哥出发时，纽约一位长生不老的炼金术士着手让这瓶恶魔之酒重返人间。一路上，许多人被卷入其中，他们的人生也将彻底改变。
Onmi：这部作品根据第9届电击小说大奖金奖作品改编而成，有一个相当优秀的制作团队和不少著名声优，在我的“必看清单”上排第一位！
Seleria：看剧情简介的时候，我简直喜出望外。禁酒令时期加上炼金术？算上我一份！这听起来……蛮有原创性的。
Usagi：我喜欢上世纪30年代美国的感觉，也喜欢小说的插画―动画就是在这些插画的基础上进行创作的。和我预期的一样，动画的质量也不错。
主食：《僵尸借贷》
当人即将死亡时，他的脖子上就会出现一道灰色的线―大多数人看不见这道线。日复一日，这个圈印的颜色会越来越深，当它最终变成黑色时，这个人便会死去。纪多满拥有一种很不寻常的能力。她的“死神之眼”可以看见这些圈印。小满注意到她的两个同学―赤月知佳和橘思徒―就有这样的黑色圈印。两人告诉她，他们原本应该死于6个月前的一次意外。然而，两人获得了第二次生存机会，但有一个条件：他们必须通过猎杀邪恶的僵尸来偿还复活的债务。随着故事逐渐展开，被迫给男孩们当工作助手的小满发现自己的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。
Onmi：我的第一反应是：“又是死神的动画？日本人真是江郎才尽了，不是吗？”不过，这个故事实际上和《死神》或《死亡笔记》有很大不同，所以没关系……
Seleria：主流的故事加上漂亮的画风……整体上来说还可以。但更出彩的地方在于这个动画能在黑暗的主题中成功融入幽默的成分。
Usagi：我喜欢那随着故事进展逐步构建起来的紧张气氛，以及所有那些让角色关系变得错综复杂的元素。
甜点：《再见！绝望先生》
这部动画的名字来源于日语中的“绝望”，如果将主人公的名字横着写的话，“系色望”就成了“绝望”。人如其名，我们的主角是一个人生态度非常消极的老师。故事开始的时候，他正试图上吊自杀，后来却被他的一名学生所救，后者以为他只是想增高……
Onmi：动画大玩文字游戏，笑话百出。这意味着喜欢《银魂》的人大概也会喜欢看这部作品。
Seleria：仅仅是预告片就足以扣人心弦！这是个很棒的故事，在喜剧元素的点缀下，深深的绝望化为无穷希望。
Usagi：画风相当吸引。与此同时，尽管它用了很有趣的表现方式，动画还是让人体会到一种生活的现实感。
