先週土曜、久しぶりに少年時代に帰ることができました。70年代の人気マンガ「ど根性ガエル」が実写版で戻ってきたのです。
Last Saturday, I was able to reminisce my childhood days as I once again saw a show that I used to enjoy as a young boy. DOKONJO GAERU, a very famous manga and TV animation in the early 1970’s, has come back and was shown in live-action!
ヒロシという名の中学生と、Tシャツにくっついてしまったカエルのピョン吉を中心に展開する物語です。
The story revolves around a frog named Pyonkichi and Hiroshi, a junior high school boy who fell on the frog, making it stick to his shirt, forcing them to be inseparable.
見ていて非常に懐かしい思いにふけりました。
The show brought many good memories to me when I saw the new show last week; it was a very nostalgic experience indeed!
この古き良きアニメを実写にした背景はCG技術の進歩でしょうね、だってぴょん吉の表情が40年前に比べずっとリアルに見えましたから。
One of the reasons they made a live version of the good-old anime is the advancement of computer graphics technologies. It made Pyounkichi’s facial expressions more realistic than 40 years ago.
私と同年代の方は是非見て欲しいです。週に一度、子供に帰るのも悪くないですよ。
I urge everyone, especially those who grew up during my time to watch this fantastic TV drama! It will sure to be lots of fun being a kid, at least for one hour each week, again.
