Recently on Station B, an animation has attracted the attention of netizens due to its rapid rebound in ratings. "Revolutionary Machine", the full name of "Revolutionary Machine Valvrave", was launched in 2013 by the Japanese animation company SUNRISE (Rishengsha), which has produced the entire series of "Mobile Suit Gundam". It focuses on teenagers driving giant robots (mechas) An original science fiction animation with a battle theme, which started broadcasting on April 11, 2013.

When the animation was first aired, its sophisticated production and strong dubbing cast aroused unanimous praise from animation fans at home and abroad. However, starting from the fourth episode of the first season, the film has childish plots such as "the school establishes its own country independently, students collect supplies by looting supermarkets, power outages and WIFI lead to the 'subjugation of the country', and social media conscription to govern the country" and other plots, which have triggered domestic animation lovers unanimous ridicule. At the same time, because of its plot that "insulted the audience's IQ", it also received the nickname "IQ Machine".

But for this animation whose plot was ridiculous and ridiculed by the audience, today, six years later, its ratings suddenly began to skyrocket. Starting from November 15, the rating rose to more than 9 points in just a few hours. As of November 2019 On March 19, the animation’s rating on Station B was 9.9.

What kind of fairy plot caused such a huge contrast between before and after?

Sometimes, reality is more absurd than imagination

Absurd plot commentary▼

"Revolution Machine Valvrave" explains "This animation was ridiculed for being unrealistic, but 6 years later reality slapped everyone in the face! 》The video comes from B station up master @LexBurner

The following content is compiled from the video commentary of Station B up owner @LexBurner.

The story develops in an imaginary future world.

One day, a well-developed alien village was invaded by foreign forces. The purpose of their visit was to seize the village's core resource, revolutionary machine, and use it as a strategic port to dominate the world. The foreigners sent spies to break into the school at the entrance of the village. Inside, they fight their way to the helipad hidden in the school.

But what I didn't expect was that in the chaos, the revolutionary machine was accidentally boarded by a student.

The male protagonist, a student who got on the plane, killed everyone with the help of divine power, but at the same time, he was exposed to an amount of information that his mind could not bear. He also became an inhuman monster, sometimes becoming extremely violent.

However, this does not prevent them from committing chuunibyou. The leader is the student's goddess, the heroine Shoko.

With the help of foreign agents and another foreign congressman, Shoko made an incomprehensible decision in the fourth episode of the animation, which was to rely on the revolutionary machine at hand to declare independence and establish a country!

The place where Jianguo was founded was at the door of the dormitory.

The founder of the country is Xiangzi, and the country's name is Xiangwu. This is Xianghuang. This is Xianggang.

The bad guys on the side were stunned.

The senior congressman said: Stop making trouble, can children also build a country?

The little agent said: Hahahahaha, I haven’t laughed like this in a long time.

I wanted to watch the show silently, but I didn't expect you to perform a special comedy.

However, this group of students said: "Support, great!"

"Jianguo seems to be quite fun."

“Once we have established a country, others will not be able to do anything to us.”

Please note that except for the nicknames, the rest of the plot is really not made up by me.

A group of students really want to found a nation!

It is precisely because of the scene of the students' founding of the country that "Revolutionary Machine" was instantly dubbed the "IQ Machine". Because it really insults the audience’s intelligence! At that time, everyone didn’t even know what the screenwriter’s purpose was in writing this.

Is it to show Emperor Xiang's decisiveness?

Impossible, a large number of people died in the end just because of this highly inflammatory heroine.

Is it to show the stupidity of students and satirize the immaturity of young people?

This is impossible, they are already in high school! Even if you are stupid, you can't be this stupid, right?

I'm immature, and I shouldn't try to build a country with just one mecha, right?

So at that time, everyone in the industry unanimously believed that it was not us, the audience, who had the problem.

But screenwriter Ohuchi is a "fool".

The process of founding the country was extremely chaotic. The first thing Xianghuang did was to take everyone to an empty supermarket to get supplies.

Others kept things in their cars properly, but Xianghuang was making trouble like crazy.

At first glance, I thought it was thugs vandalizing and looting.

Under her leadership, the children also learned badly.

They have fun, liberate adult elements, make indecent graffiti on the road... and even go crazy and bully female students in the name of justice.

So for a while, you may even think that these people do not have any demands for Jianguo, but simply do not want to go to class and want to play lawlessly.

But it’s not good to keep doing this, I still have to do something serious.

For example, to raise funds and so on, so they came up with Facebook recruitment, and they also wanted to promote the beauty of their country.

So we came up with a way to govern the country by video, but the most important thing is to choose the leader of the country that faces the outside world.

The general election was held as scheduled in the school's town hall, but those candidates who proposed effective solutions were defeated.

The person who succeeded in becoming prime minister turned out to be a person who could only mess around in front of the stage and tell absurd lines like jokes - the heroine Xianghuang.

Therefore, it is naturally very easy to destroy this country.

One day, the school had a power outage; the air conditioner didn't work, and the wifi couldn't be connected. So the students started blaming each other.

The founding father of the country, Emperor Xiang, was even subjected to violence.

The vigorous Xiangguo collapsed in this way, and died in 15 minutes, because the founding of the country was at the end of four episodes and the country was destroyed in five and a half episodes.

But after a while, the hard-working electrician had the electricity reconnected.

So Xiangguo was reborn from nirvana, and people were united again.

This darkest moment in the history of Xiangguo lasted for 7 minutes. It must be said that national unity is maintained by wifi.

There is less than one episode between Jianguo's rebellion and the assassination of the president. This kind of country cannot be good.

So in the end, those incited students betrayed their teammates in various ways.

Basically all the founding fathers who were incited died.

Although Xiangguo was saved with the plug-in body and plug-in super power, the animation still ended in a small tragedy.

For the record, the commentary in this video is not the complete plot of Revolutionary Machine, but only a summary of its stupid elements.

But today, 6 years later, I discovered that I was wrong.

Screenshot from a 2015 video of @LexBurner complaining about the animation

There is no logic in student nation-building.

Um? ? ?

Mr. Ohuchi calmed down a bit.

It turns out that the reality is even more absurd than the stories of intelligence humiliation we once agreed upon. In the animation, the protagonists are regarded as the righteous party, and they found their country to resist when they were invaded. But in reality, they can take the initiative to cause trouble, commit treachery and divide the country in order to speak righteously.

In the animation, the protagonists possess a revolutionary machine and have the courage to found a country only with the military weapons that dominate the world. But in reality, it can be messed up, and even a small catapult can be used as a nuclear bomb.

In the anime, the male protagonist is forced to move forward, and his father even turns his son into a monster.

But in reality, it can be a mother saying to her son, if mom doesn’t beat you, mom should first advise you to be a human being.

To be able to stage a plot like Revolutionary Machine, the people in it are either stupid or bad. This kind of stupidity and badness is beyond the understanding of the audience, so it is called an insult to IQ.

People blame the writers, but the reality is, some people are just plain stupid. Only when it is placed in front of you will you feel that the story needs logic.

But reality really doesn’t require it!

From the crazy complaints back then to the crazy comments 6 years later: I’m sorry

Beginning on November 15, some news and pictures about violent and illegal activities in Hong Kong during the "revision amendment storm" were circulated on the domestic Internet. Netizens couldn't help but connect it with the absurd plot in the animation "Revolutionary Machine".

The thugs set up "Immigration Offices" at various entrances and exits of the Chinese University of Hong Kong↑

In the past few days, various universities in Hong Kong have become the main battlefield for demonstrations.

Hong Kong University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, etc.

In other words, this semester ends early!

Well, the reason is not because the demonstrations "occupied" various universities, and even used the universities as "bases" and "arsenals", and staged scenes of "self-pleasure" here.

As a result, netizens began to play jokes endlessly and ridicule wildly:

I really blamed the screenwriter wrongly.

After six years, I finally understood "Revolutionary Machine"

Call it an "oracle"

Netizen barrage:

Bring a prophet.

Ohuchi-sensei, I'm sorry!

Totally consistent.

I understand.

Awesome, I suddenly understood something.

Reality is murkier than the screenwriter’s imagination.

Due to the high popularity of Japanese animation culture among teenagers in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Hong Kong teenagers pay close attention to relevant content. A large number of Hong Kong teenagers obtain Japanese animation-related information through domestic platforms such as Bilibili. Therefore, after the program became a "hot hit" on the bilibili platform, it also gained high attention among overseas Internet users.

A forum posted posts such as "Mainland Netizens Analyze the Revolutionary Machine," and hundreds of netizens discussed the content of the program.

Other netizens commented:

Discussions about the program on Taiwan's PTT forum were extremely intense. There were more than 800 discussions under the most popular post alone. Taiwanese netizens were shocked that "Revolutionary Machine B station's rating has reached 9.8. Everyone has asked the prophet Da Hanoi Apologize". Some opposition supporters also called for a boycott of the program producers.

Many Japanese netizens also left messages under the personally certified Twitter account of Okouchi, who is responsible for the plot script of "Revolutionary Machine" on the first floor, reminding him to pay attention to the recent changes in Chinese audiences' evaluation of the film.
