Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

The day after the final episode aired, the internet exploded.

Angry audience.

Those whose hearts were shattered by the ultimate paradox formed a vast and mighty army to punish them.

[Give me my money back! Give me back my tears! Su Bai, you're not human!]

[An angel's heartbeat? I'd call it a crematorium for the audience! I've suffered immense psychological trauma from that old scoundrel Su for the rest of my life!]

Boycott Su Bai! Creators who take pleasure in tormenting their audiences don't deserve to be called artists!

Their anger is no longer expressed through the mild method of sending razor blades.

The official website of Healing Animation Company has been hacked repeatedly.

The homepage was changed to display three large, blood-red characters: "Give Me Back My Song".

Other viewers, however, found a different kind of meaning in that immense sorrow.

They are Stockholm disease patients who have developed antibodies after being repeatedly tormented by Su Bai.

I cried, but I couldn't say he was wrong. Otonashi fulfilled his wish, and Kanade fulfilled hers. It was a perfect, impeccable closed loop.

I hate Su Bai, but I admire him. He dares to touch taboos that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

This is a final echo of dedication and gratitude, transcending life and death.

The two sides argued fiercely on various forums and social media platforms.

Major entertainment giants have sensed an unprecedented business opportunity.

"The audience's emotions have been pushed to the extreme by Su Bai!"

At an emergency meeting at Pig Factory Animation, the project director excitedly slammed his fist on the table, spitting as he spoke.

"What they need most right now is genuine positive energy! Start the project immediately!"

"Let's make a tragedy too, but the ending must be happy!"

"The male protagonist sacrificed himself, but the female protagonist carried on with his hope and lived on with unwavering strength!"

"Tell the audience, this is what they want to see!"

Tencent's actions are faster and bolder.

"Su Bai's approach is too convoluted! What logical loop? It's just empty talk! Just get straight to the point!"

"Have the characters die because of misunderstandings, accidents, or all sorts of reasons! As long as their deaths are gruesome enough, the audience will cry! And that's how you get viewership!"

As a result, within a short week after Angel Beats! ended, several anime series that touted themselves as truly healing tragedies with anti-Soviet, white-collar endings sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Some clumsy imitations cause misunderstandings between the male and female protagonists over trivial matters such as whether or not to add spice to a bowl of Mapo Tofu.

The last person was hit and killed by a dump truck, while the other person wept in the rain, holding an urn containing ashes.

Some simply abandon logic altogether, having a meteorite fall from the sky and kill the bride without warning at the most joyful wedding scene, then forcibly indulging in sentimentality.

However, the audience's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

【What kind of garbage is this? I took my pants off, and this is what you show me?】

[This is just cruel torture for the sake of torture, a poor imitation! They can't even imitate Su Shi's foot skin!]

After seeing all this trash, I actually find Su the old scoundrel quite handsome. At least, his knife has a reason.

These imitators not only failed to capture any market share, but their clumsiness also proved one thing in reverse.

The Soviet-style healing method is unique and cannot be replicated.

Healing Animation Company.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

All the employees had dark circles under their eyes, and they dared not look at Su Bai, nor at the overwhelming insults on the internet.

Only Su Bai remained calm as always.

He remained silent.

It was as if everything in the outside world was irrelevant to him.

This silence made Shen Qingyue's heart sink little by little.

She knew that Su Bai wasn't indifferent; he simply disdained to defend himself.

He is the one who creates myths, and interpreting myths is the work of believers.

But this time, the myth was too grand and too cruel, and the believers were lost in a fog of sorrow, even beginning to hate the gods themselves.

And those false gods are trying to take advantage of the situation.

"Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Shen Qingyue finally couldn't hold back any longer, her voice carrying a hint of anxiety that she herself didn't realize.

"What do you care?"

Su Bai asked indifferently.

"People outside are practically calling you an anti-human! And those who imitate you are insulting the word 'healing'!"

"oh."

Su Bai remained calm.

"Let them curse, let them imitate. The buzzing of flies won't stop the sun from rising."

Seeing Su Bai's unyielding attitude, Shen Qingyue felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

She knew what Su Bai was thinking.

He's waiting, waiting for the audience to figure it out themselves.

But what if they never figure it out?

What if this brilliant pearl, which he personally nurtured and named Healing Animation, is tarnished?

No.

Absolutely not.

As Shen Qingyue looked at the man's calm profile, a thought became clearer than ever before.

The whole world can misunderstand you.

But not me.

If believers cannot interpret divine pronouncements, then I will be the missionary.

She turned around and went back to her workstation, turning on her computer.

She suppressed all her emotions.

Amidst endless arguments and attacks, she decided to offer her defense for the devil in the eyes of the world.

No sleep for one night.

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the studio the next morning.

A lengthy article of over 10,000 words titled "Have you truly understood sacrifice? A brief analysis of the tragic core of the angel's heartbeat."

It was posted online by Shen Qingyue's personal account.

The article contains no emotional outpourings, only an extremely cold and rational analysis.

Many criticize the cruelty of the ending, but we must first clarify one premise: Otonashi Yuzuru and Tachibana Kanade were both already dead. Their sole purpose in existing was to eliminate regret.

What regret did Otonashi have? He had none. His life reached its ultimate fulfillment the moment he donated his organs. Therefore, he came into this world not to be redeemed, but to redeem others. He was God's final act of kindness.

And what was Zou's regret? It was not being able to thank the person who gave her life. This conviction was pure, clean, and transcended life and death. So, when she finally found her benefactor and fulfilled her gratitude, her mission was complete, and her departure was inevitable, the only way for her to achieve healing.

Now, let's look at this paradox that everyone criticizes.

[The kindness of Otona allowed Kanade to survive.]

The reason for playing the song is to express gratitude for this kindness.

This gratitude ultimately led to her disappearance and to Otonashi's eternal loneliness.

Is this really punishment?

【No.】

This is a perfect echo of dedication and gratitude, transcending life and death. Otonashi's dedication did not disappear; it transformed into sunshine in Kanade's life. And Kanade's gratitude was not in vain; it gave Otonashi's kindness the purest response. This was a sacred handover ceremony with no losers.

What Su Bai did was not to create tragedy. He simply had the courage to reveal, in a bloody and stark way, the most glorious yet cruel aspect of dedication to us all.

He taught us that the noblest good often comes with the heaviest sacrifice. This is not punishment; it is honor.

At the end of the article, Shen Qingyue wrote the following.

Su Bai was simply a genius who held a handheld camera, faithfully recording the greatest moments of humanity.

A long article has been published.

Initially, it did not cause much of a stir.

However, after being shared by several professional film critics, this heartfelt interpretation quickly went viral.

Countless viewers, lost in sorrow, seemed to see a lighthouse in the darkness, greedily reading every word.

[Holy crap, so that's how it is!]

I apologize for my superficiality! This is the true interpretation! This isn't a tragedy; this is true healing!

[A perfect echo of dedication and gratitude. My scalp tingled, and tears welled up again. I'm sorry, old scoundrel Su, I didn't understand you.]

I hate him for causing me so much pain, but I'm even more grateful to him for showing me such noble humanity.

Public opinion reversed completely at an incredible speed.

The previous insults and attacks appear so ridiculous and pale in the face of a higher-level interpretation.

The hashtag #IDefendTheDevil# has topped the global trending searches.

All eyes were now focused on the man who had remained silent until now, instead of on this article.

The whole world is waiting.

Waiting for that man to give his final response.
