Is the earliest Cyberpunk animation in China from GG Bond?

With the great success of "Cyberpunk: Runner on the Edge", the animation popularity of "Cyberpunk" rose again, and a national romance film with Cyberpunk style re-entered people's sight. It is the third series of GG Bond, and is regarded as the first Cyberpunk animation in China, and even the first Cyberpunk-style work in China. Braving the Future City combines China's martial arts culture, street culture and high-tech society, so that the theme of martial arts hanging skills is not contradictory. Let's make a detailed analysis as follows:

High-tech, low life, and brave future cities meet the requirements. An important feature of Cyberpunk is "high technology, low life", that is, high technology level but average living standard. And "Braving the Future City" fits this feature very well. GG Bond crossed into the world of pigs in 2080. At that time, science and technology changed with each passing day, and organic methyl ester, artificial body and various drugs appeared. However, the ordinary people GG Bond met after crossing did not become convenient and fast because of the advanced technology. Teacher Mihu is too poor to collect garbage, and it is difficult to help GG Bond.

GG Bond entered Jackie Chan Primary School in Wang Zi before crossing. Because the teaching method is too old to adapt to the high-tech era, it has become broken and outdated, facing the crisis of suspension. The only students are GG Bond and S Daddy. It can be seen that even though the technology of "Braving the Future City" is very high, some ordinary people still retain the quality of life like China and Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City in the last century for various reasons, just as Cyberpunk was deeply influenced by the living environment of Kowloon Walled City in the last century.

The boss behind the scenes is the big boss, and the boss in Cyberpunk is often the big boss of a big enterprise. Whether it is the game Cyberpunk 2077, the animation Cyberpunk: The Edge Runner, or Cyberpunk's classic masterpiece Ghost in an Empty Shell, some heartless big enterprises are the initiators of all the events. And "Braving the Future City" also adopted a similar setting. On the surface, its boss is an inferior lollipop produced by the big boss, a pig that dominates the sky, which makes S Daddy a fool.

Later, in order to deal with Wang Zicheng Primary School and foster his own primary school with strong science and technology, Zhu Bajie also challenged GG Bond with various high-tech equipment in an attempt to smash the signboard of Wang Zicheng Primary School through sports competitions. Of course, GG Bond also has high-tech super lollipops, and no one is afraid of anyone. In addition to pigs dominating the sky, Dr. Black, the classic villain of GG Bond series, also made his debut in Braving the Future City. He also belongs to the classic design of mad scientists in Cyberpunk.

Wushu wins science and technology. The biggest difference between Brave Future City written by Cyberpunk with Chinese style and Cyberpunk's works abroad (animation, games and movies) is that there is a strong Chinese style. China and Hongkong movies always choose China's traditional martial arts against opponents who use black technology, such as shaolin soccer. Brave Future City inherits the theme of martial arts vs technology. In the face of the endless stream of high-tech equipment with superhuman strength, GG Bond responded with kung fu, such as "Beating the Dragon with Ten Claps", "Treading on the Waves" and "The Legend of Taiji".

The result of "Braving the Future City" is, of course, that China Kung Fu defeated high-tech, and martial arts defeated the mecha robot, thus enhancing cultural self-confidence. If Cyberpunk is a nobody abroad, he will become a great man and a legend with black technology. Then China and Cyberpunk embodied in "Braving the Future City" are little people who use their ancestors' wisdom and traditional culture to survive in a high-tech society and show the value and strength of traditional culture.

Summary:

GG Bond's third animation, Braving the Future City, conforms to the characteristics of Cyberpunk's animation "high-tech, low-life" and "big enterprises are monsters", and is also a new style of martial arts vs high-tech, which is a successful attempt by China film and television circles to Cyberpunk. It is a pity that "Braving the Future City" has not brought far-reaching influence to China's sci-fi.
