English - 蜡笔小新《大人帝国的反击》Nostalgia, and Why I Almost Built DeepSeek

蜡笔小新《大人帝国的反击》Nostalgia, and Why I Almost Built DeepSeek

Thanks for Chatgpt voice for fixing my awful chinese 碎碎念 grammar 所以这个是中文的博客，很久没写了，所以想要看一下怎么写。 大概有三四年没写了吧，有时候最近越来越少用中文了，感觉可以再加努力一下。 所以这是想说一下以前看的小动画片吧，这边有蜡笔小新：大人帝国的反击，然后下面连了一个视频，YouTube的视频（油管的视频），可以看一下，是比较详细的介绍吧，宣传一下。如果论知名度的话，看字幕的话大概知道它。 如果单说这部电影的话，我个人觉得它是我小时候看过最好的动画电影之一。《蜡笔小新》系列其实几乎每年都会出一部剧场版，但我大概从 2016 年左右开始就慢慢不看了，主要是因为太忙了，然后就是基本看不到 这次重新想起来，是因为最近又开始偶尔看看《蜡笔小新》，当作“下饭番”还挺轻松的。虽然不算特别认真地看，但还是会被一些情节触动。 那我对蜡笔小新《大人帝国的反击》具体的印象就是，大概大人全部走掉，然后小孩子的天堂吧。
