After months of guesses and rumors, it has finally been confirmed that an anime adaption of Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan will arrive in April. The title was originally developed by Idea Factory for Sony’s PlayStation 2 in 2008. Gaining huge success, the game extended its territory[领土] to PlayStation Portable in 2009 and Nintendo’s DS in 2010.
Chizuru Yukimura goes to Kyoto looking for her father. On her way, she witnesses a fight between an oni (demon) and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody[拘留], the Shinsengumi debate on what to do with Chizuru until they discover that she is the daughter of the doctor they are also looking for. They
decide to become her protectors and help the girl to find her father. While the conflict between the Shinsengumi and the
Bakumatsu Group becomes more and more severe, mysterious secrets about oni and Chizuru are gradually unveiled[显露]…
The story is loosely based upon historical facts about the Shinsengumi, the famous special police force which supported the dying Tokugawa shogunate. After Japan opened up to the West in 1853, its political situation became
chaotic[混乱的], and the country was divided along lines of
political opinion. Loyalists[忠诚分子] to the emperor began to commit acts of murder and violence in Kyoto. In 1863, hoping
to resist this trend, the Roshigumi, a group of 234 masterless
samurai, was formed, later becoming the Shinsengumi.
At its peak, the Shinsengumi had about 300 members. They were the first samurai group of the Tokugawa Era to allow those from non-samurai classes like farmers and merchants to join in. Extremely strict rules – known as the code of the Shinsengumi
Regulations[规章] – were carried out in the group to reflect
bushido[武士道] ideals. These rules were a major reason why they rose to be such a strong, feared force at the time.
Although the Shinsengumi were on stage for brief six years – the death of the its Vice Commander, Toshizo Hijikata on June 20th, 1869 is generally seen as the end of the group – they remain one of the most mentioned historical sources in Japan today, with dozens of films, TV dramas, novels, and anime dedicated to[献给] these tragic heroes. And it’s not hard to understand why. For many, the end of the group marked the end of an era: there used to be a time when life was hard but simple, and people would willingly fight and even die for what they believed in.
The story is sad but beautiful, the art is neat, and the cast is all-star – there’s just no reason to miss such a hit. However, there are doubts among Hakuouki fans as
game-based anime seldom does the title justice[充分发挥水平]. Well, it’s the Shinsengumi after all. Let’s keep our fingers crossed[祈祷] that the upcoming April will not fail us!
经过几个月的诸多猜测和各种传言,《薄樱鬼-新选组奇谭》的改编动画终于确定在四月播放。这个游戏原本是点子工场游戏公司在2008年为索尼的PS2平台而开发的,大获成功之后,游戏于2009年拓展到PSP平台,2010年登陆NDS。
雪村千鹤前往京都寻找父亲。在途中,她目睹了新选组与鬼的战斗。新选组将她拘留起来,对如何处置千鹤争论不休,后来发现她的父亲正是他们也在寻找的医生。他们决定担当千鹤的保护者,帮她找回父亲。随着新选组与倒幕派的斗争日趋激烈,关于鬼族和千鹤的神秘谜团渐渐显山露水……
这个故事大致来源于新选组的史实材料——这个有名的特殊警察组织支撑着当时行将就木的德川幕府。日本在1853年
对西方打开国门之后,国内政局动荡混乱,国家因为不同的政见流派而分崩离析。保皇分子开始在京都四处杀人,诉诸暴力。1863年,为了抵挡这股风潮,
234名无主武士构成的浪士组正式成立,后来演变成新选组。
在极盛时期,新选组拥有约300名队士。这是德川时代第一个允许农民、商人等非武士阶层加入的武士组织。为体现武士道理念,组内实行极其严格的制度——也就是所谓的“新选组局内法度”。这些制度正是他们能跃升为当时人所畏惧的强大势力的主要原因。
尽管新选组登上历史舞台前后不过六年——1869年6月20日副长土方岁三的离世,被人们普遍认为是新选组覆灭的象征——时至今日,他们依然是日本最为人所津津乐道的历史素材之一,人们为这些悲剧英雄创作了数十部电影、电视剧、小说和动画作品。个中缘由不言而喻。对许多人来说,这个组织的覆灭标志着一个时代的终结——曾经有那么一个年代,生活艰难却简单淳朴,人们为了自己的信念而战,甚至不惜牺牲性命。
故事凄美,画面精致,而且声优是全明星阵容——我们完全没有理由错过这样一部大热作品。不过,《薄樱鬼》的粉丝们对此并不是很有信心,因为游戏改编动画常常大失原作水准。毕竟这是关于新选组的故事,我们就祈祷即将到来的四月不会让人失望吧!
幕末时代与明治维新
1603年,德川家康受封征夷大将军,在
江户(东京旧称)设幕府统治天下。1867年,第15代将军庆喜将政权归还天皇,历时250多年的德川时代宣告结束。
1853年,日本被迫开国,进一步加剧了国内原有的各种矛盾。幕府在开国问题上的无能表现激发了早已不满幕府专制的大名们的不满。他们乘机抬出天皇,对幕府施加压力,封建统治阶级上层出现公开对立。严重的民族危机以及随着开国而逐步加深的对西方资本主义国家的了解,使一些出身下层的有识之士逐步认识到在日本“采取资产阶级的生产方式”的必要性,走上了资产阶级革命家的道路,开展倒幕维新运动。1867年12月,倒幕派发动“王政复古”政变,建立了以天皇为首的“三职”政府,1868年9月改年号为“明治”,史称“明治维新”。
