Although Becca didn’t have many scenes in the first half of the story, her catchy performance and lively personality were quite enjoyable.
However, according to a recent official CDPR live broadcast, when community manager Pawet Burza interviewed a developer, she admitted she was one of the animation production participants and claimed there had been a vote within CDPR for discuss the decision to remove Rebecca This character, due to her “Lori” appearance, is considered incompatible with the cyberpunk worldview.
“Yes, she’s the best girl. But I feel a little guilty,” said the developer, “because, in fact, I was one of the developers, and I was the one who voted not to have Lei The person in the role. by Becca … “
Burza made a short exclamation at his answer. “Because when CDPR received the character design, their reaction was, ‘She’s a loli, there are no loli in Night City, and it doesn’t fit the setting of’ Traitor 2077 ‘.” But the Trigger Club replied: NO, Lolita must exist! “
This short interview has been edited by the audience and has also becomeOverseas discussion forumnetizenstopicSome people agree with CDPR and think that the role of Luo Li shouldn’t exist, but more and more people think that the role of Rebecca makes the characters and worldview of “Edgewalker” animation more vivid, and the his silent emotion for the protagonist David also makes people feel a warm heart.
In the end, fortunately, CDPR complied with the proposal of the character of the Trigger Club, and this has fully resumed the official interview with the production of the animation released a few days ago. In the interview, Imaishi director (supervisor) Hiroyuki and character designer Ji Chengyao both said that Creation is in line with the original worldview and, at the same time, the character design must echo fans that they love the elements of Japanese animation. It’s really a big challenge, which can be seen from Lucy’s design.
“Lucy is a harder character to draw than David,” said animator Ji Chengyao: “Although the character is destined to become a femme fatale, we still want her to be a little cute and Japanese. Elements that are familiar. to anime fans, and it’s really hard to mix that element in the same character. “
It can be seen that not only Lucy, but Rebecca too, Trigger keeps the creative spirit of Japanese animation and creates such excellent characters. And CDPR producer Satoru Homma also stated in an interview that during the 4+ years of collaborating with Trigger Club, he has also encountered a lot of challenges along the way.
Satoru Homma: “The balance between CDPR’s supervision and TRIGGER’s creative freedom is, I believe, a key factor in the success of this work.”
In European and American societies, “Lori” has always been regarded by defenders as a label sensitive to the exploitation of child pornography. Even for Japan, a major ACG cultural power that has always advocated creative freedom, the impact of this problem is still that the government level is greater than the cultural level.
Fortunately, thanks to the tenacity of the Trigger Club that made this animation, as well as the perseverance of CDPR, we can see the nice Rebecca so active in front of the screen.
The Netflix exclusive series, “The Rider: Edgewalker”, will hit shelves on September 13 with all 10 episodes. Since the album aired, the number of online users of “Dian Yu Ren Ke 2077” has continued to grow, reaching a new high of 36,806 in the past six months.
