"Yes, it can be said that his creations in the first few episodes had traces of being clever and taking shortcuts, and his pacing could be criticized for being inconsistent." Tang Sanshui nodded gently: "But, in terms of the speed of creation, it must be praised."
"Actually, personally, before the show started, I also tried using the editor provided by the production team."
"There's a lot of content, and the functions are very powerful. Without a doubt, it's definitely a powerful tool that will greatly speed up the creation process."
Tang Sanshui paused slightly, then changed his tone: "It's just that the learning cost required by new things is also very high."
"It's like when AI first appeared, many people said that AI could replace us creators, and that stories could be continuously generated by simply inputting commands."
"But the facts have proven that it is still very difficult to make AI create satisfactory stories according to one's ideas."
"It can even be said that it's not simpler than creating it yourself."
"Even if he had a corresponding draft before the show started, and the complete story was memorized in his mind, to create so smoothly, it shows that Contestant Hua Jian still possesses considerable talent."
"Although I don't agree with his creative method." Tang Sanshui smiled: "But I have no doubt about his future achievements."
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong."
"Why did Teacher Sanshui's attitude suddenly become so good?"
"I still want to see the Teacher Sanshui who fiercely attacked and questioned steins;gate. Where did your arrogance from when you created 'The Way of Seeking Death' go? Quickly stick to your opinion and attack with all your might!"
"Uh, uh, can you not stir up trouble?"
"Boring, I want to see rivers of blood."
"Putting on an act, now pretending to be a good mentor, how uninteresting."
"Then I think you should look forward to Dong Xuelian. She should actually be very strict. She didn't exert much effort before, but I think she's definitely going to now."
"Will he?" Although Tang Sanshui seemed to have high hopes for Hua Jian, Dong Xuelian didn't seem to think so: "I actually think there's too much content below."
"If he doesn't respect women, he'll definitely stumble later."
"Especially the character Hashida Itaru, why is there a need for him to exist? Why must he be designed this way?"
She scolded, clearly displeased: "I've been holding back before, but I really can't take it anymore."
"He's just a tool for the author to expose his ugly inner desires, isn't he?"
"You can't say that." Qihai shook her head: "What ugly desires could he have?"
Qihai is a beauty-first supremacist.
Although she originally held the same view as Dong Xuelian, after seeing Hua Jian's face, she naturally wouldn't continue to attack the author.
"A character is just a character. Perhaps the reason for this setting will be revealed later?" she said.
"...Anyway, I reserve my opinion." Saying this, Dong Xuelian put down the microphone.
Perhaps because the show had already been on for more than two hours, the judges gradually got into the swing of things and no longer needed the Host to guide the rhythm sentence by sentence.
Even before the show began, the judges already knew they needed to endure a bit longer in the recording venue, so their original plan at the start of the show was to relax for a while and save their energy for thinking during the middle and later stages of the show.
However, it now seemed that if they didn't watch the animation carefully and think, they might face backlash.
Dong Xuelian could imagine comments like "They can't say anything but are still sitting on stage as judges, money is so easy to make," without even needing to look.
So, despite her slight resistance to the character Hashida Itaru, she was genuinely watching the animation.
It's just that, inexplicably, she seemed to be a bit isolated and helpless.
Why is everyone praising the animation? You've all praised the parts that should be praised, one sentence at a time, leaving me with only opposition, haven't you?
After putting down the microphone, Dong Xuelian tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, looking a bit annoyed.
However, the other judges wouldn't care about her mood.
"While everyone is discussing the speed of creation, I'd rather talk about the plot," Cowboy Hao said.
"Actually, although I summarized the general content of the previous episode and analyzed it a bit, I'm not very satisfied with the fourth episode."
"Because the IBN5100 came too easily, the rest of the plot seemed rather bland. The only thing worth mentioning was Assistant's emotional outburst towards her father."
"But this episode is quite different." Cowboy Hao smiled: "The Part-time Warrior's performance in the first half of the episode roughly confirmed my guess. Although the animation itself deliberately used a male voice to describe it, is there a possibility… that Amane Suzuha is John Titor?"
"Even if she isn't, she must be a character with a strong connection to the time traveler."
"Personally, a character as important as John Titor certainly wouldn't be handled casually. Compared to choosing from characters who haven't had a chance to appear, I'm more inclined to choose Suzuha for this role."
"Whether it's her initial understanding of the text message as a 'death notification,' or her completely unworldly demeanor when it comes to bananas, fireworks festivals, and such, plus mistaking a helicopter for a bombing, these details undoubtedly correspond to Titor's 'despair land'."
"Only Titor, coming from a future like a despair land, would appear as Suzuha does."
"Genius! Cowboy Hao, you truly are a genius!"
"Looking at it this way, the clues do line up. Compared to a new Titor appearing out of nowhere, it's understandable that so many characters were introduced in the previous episodes."
"So, what about Felis and Moeka?"
"I don't know, Cowboy Hao wouldn't think that much. Anyway, just tell me, is there anything wrong with this guess?"
"Mm-hmm, it's quite reasonable." Uncle Big Nose nodded: "I actually had that feeling too."
"Whether from the logic of story creation or the utilization rate of characters, this is the best choice."
"However, compared to Suzuha, I'm actually more interested in something else."
Cowboy Hao raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"Tell me more."
"I found that although Contestant Hua Jian seems to have no works, his reading seems to be quite extensive," Uncle Big Nose said: "During the animation broadcast, many viewers must have been confused by lines like 'As expected of Okabe, truly admirable and captivating,' right?"
"It seems very random, and from the character's performance, it looks like he's playing a meme."
