Chapter 594: July Dominated by Ji Kong

The place where Rita wants to take Jikong to is Ginza.

Located in the west of Tokyo Chuo District, Ginza, along with Mount Fuji and Kyoto, represents the modern, natural and historical Japanese.

This is not only the largest food center in Japan, but also the most luxurious shopping paradise in Japan, and is known as the "most expensive place in Asia".

Ji Kong's home is at the intersection of Chuo District and Chiyoda District, so it is also relatively close to this place. It only takes more than half an hour to drive there.

However, Rita refused on the grounds that she wanted to experience the Japanese ecology.

Ji Kong expressed his discomfort and asked her why she didn't take the Ferrari to take the bus. Rita replied, "For art!"

Is it art to squeeze into the bus with a bunch of people?

So Ji Kong has to admit that his understanding of art is really superficial.

Fortunately, I have missed the peak hours of work now, and there are two more bus locations.

After sitting down, Ji Kong ignored Rita who was looking out of the window and picked up her phone to browse the news.

After more than a month of broadcasting, the average daily viewership rate of "Pokemon" has stabilized at about 18%, and the industry has been calling it perverted.

This is a very exaggerated viewership. You should know that for any program, the ratings exceeding 10% is enough to make people laugh when they sleep. For an animation, a rating of about 5% is normal.

However, if you look at the animation ratings of all generations in Japan, this result is normal.

The first place is "Cherry Maruko", with a maximum rating of 39.9%.

The second place is "Miss Conch", with a maximum rating of 39.4%.

...

Seventh place, "Baseball Heroes", with a maximum rating of 31.9%.

...

The ninth place is "Doraemon", with a maximum rating of 31.2%.

Tenth place, "Kitaro", with a maximum rating of 29.6%.

...

As you can see, except for "Baseball Heroes", the others are basically all sub-produced animations.

Although there are some reasons why everyone can only watch these works in their early years, it has to be admitted that the audience of Zishang Animation is indeed wider than other animes.

In today's era of endless anime, it is basically impossible to reach the height of these works again, but the 18% rating of "Pokemon" is already proud enough.

Nintendo's current president, Tatsuji Koji, posted on Weibo, "Pokemon is a great work. Its success is not only due to its super high ratings, but more importantly, it abandons traditional anime elements such as 'another world, magic, swordsmanship, internal energy, superpowers', and so on, and creates a complete fantasy world. Speaking of this, I have to admire Mr. Sora. Looking at "Sword Art Online", "Pokemon", and "One Piece" are all works full of imagination. I don't know what his brain is in, and what kind of surprises will bring us in the future."

Compared to the intentional flattery of Kishima Tatsuki, the famous Japanese economic critic Fujisawa Kumi is relatively rational:

"I would rather call Pokémon a successful IP than a successful work. Its animation ratings may never be more than "Cherry Maruko", and its game sales may never be more than "Super Mario", but its money-making ability is probably not comparable to the first two - just yesterday, my eight-year-old daughter actually asked me for Pikachu's pillow, Pikachu's alarm clock, Pikachu's schoolbag, and said that their classmates have already been replaced... Oh my God! It's only been more than a month since the showdown, and the influence of Pokémon has reached such a level. As long as Teacher Kong insists on making this work into a series, it will be a gold mine."

Compared with the popularity of "Pokemon", "Sword Art Online" is not bad either, it ranks second with a 15% viewership.

And in the homecoming circle, "Sword Art Online" is more popular than "Pokemon".

The most talked about is the summer comic exhibition that just passed.

Among the more than 12,000 fan works at this summer comic exhibition, "Sword Art Online" ranked first with more than 5,800 fan works, accounting for nearly half of the total, leaving the second place with more than 4,000.

In addition to some normal fandoms, "Sword Art Online" has achieved even more brilliant results in the 18-forbidden fandoms. Among them, the heroine Asuna ranked first with 68% of the number of notebooks, beating all anime characters, and therefore nicknamed "Benzina" by the stupas.

When Ji Kong saw the news that was carried by 'Baidu Tieba-Comic_Market Bar', he shook his head and was speechless.

It seems that even if I change my time and space, Asuna still cannot get rid of her nickname "Benzina".

Or, just because of a different time and space, Asuna's popularity is more popular now - in various senses.

After all, "Oriental Project" and "Fleet Collection", one has just been born and the other has not yet been born. These two are the real book kings on Comic_Market in all dynasties.

The only thing that disappointed Ji Kong was that the "Sword Art Online" animation produced by A-1_pictures (hereinafter referred to as A-1) made him unsatisfied.

Speaking of which, A-1 is also a large animation production company. It belongs to Sony. It once aspires to become the "Animation_No.1" in the animation industry, and has also produced high-quality works such as "Unknown Flower Name" and "The Exorcist of the Green".

But this time I don’t know if my brains were sucked or expanded. In addition to "Sword Art Online", I actually produced three animation works this time.

In other words, this July A-1 is four-opening!

As a result, the quality of the work inevitably began to decline and the picture collapsed a bit. Many fans of "Sword" even said that "Sword Art Online" was anime by A-1.

In comparison, although Musashino is just an unknown animation production company, their attitude is very serious.

Ji Kong had many contacts with Musashino employees and knew deeply that they were a group of people full of vitality and dreams.

They entered this industry because they loved animation, so the quality of "Pokemon" in this world is higher than that of Ji Kong's impression.

However, the copyright of "Sword Art Online" is in the electric shock library after all. No matter how you choose, it is the electric shock library, and Ji Kong doesn't have much trouble interfering.

Because "Pokemon" and "Sword Art Online" dominated the top two ratings, some people say that this year's July is July dominated by Teacher Kong!

Such praise made Ji Kong blush a little, but the slightest bit in his heart could not be concealed.

“I’m here to the station.”
