What happens
《Thunderbolt Fantasy 東離劍遊紀》,簡稱《東離劍遊紀》,是由臺灣和日本雙方合作的奇幻武俠布袋戲系列電視劇,共為四季,另设三部劇場版。劇本由日本編劇虛淵玄撰寫,角色設計與服裝造型則由Nitro+負責。布袋戲的拍攝由臺灣《霹靂布袋戲》製作,再由日本聲優重新配音。劇名由霹靂國際多媒體董事長黃強華命名,本作是臺灣布袋戲首次與日本跨界合作的特攝作品。 《東離劍遊紀》的故事較貼近武俠小說和史詩奇幻的性質,而非傳統的歷史小說。劇情架構緊湊精巧、荒誕不羈、卻又文筆流暢。作品中的角色設定有趣且充滿荒謬;布袋戲人偶的細膩動作與精湛演出、獨特的聲光效果,以及人偶華麗的服裝與精緻的佈景設計,都讓觀眾為之震撼。這也使得《東離劍遊紀》在日本、中國大陸、歐美等市場上打響知名度。除了布袋戲本身外,亦衍生出各式小說、漫畫、舞台劇和電子遊戲等多元作品。 《東離劍遊紀》電視劇在日本市場表現亮眼,前三季曾登上各影音平台前10大熱播排行榜,並一舉奪下動漫分類冠軍。第4季在臺灣Line TV的點閱次數排行獲得第8名,這不僅是布袋戲電視劇首度入榜,更是超越《長樂曲》和《不愛,愛》真人電視劇。三部劇場版系列均有不錯的票房表現,以《Thunderbolt Fantasy 東離劍遊紀 最終章》的臺日票房為系列中最高。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
