Excellent compatibility with real events

出展 : Amazon.co.jp

It is said that the popularity of Gumby became decisive is the real event “Tour of Sasebo chinjyufu meguri” on March 17 and 18, 2018.

This event is a collaboration event between Sasebo City and the ship, a ship of the local creation project team of Sasebo This event was held as a founder of the event.
Initially, about 3000 people were expected to participate in 2 days, but when I opened the lid, it was three times more than that, it was a big event where about 10,000 people gathered.

The main character of the event was the deep rain with Shariro Sasebo (Tsurugure).
And it was Gumby who was selected to be one of collaboration characters just after being implemented at that time that demonstrated its presence not to beat the rain.
One of the illustrations drawn by the official doujinshi “Chinjufu. Vol. 2” issued at this time was “Gumby which makes me embarrassed with a view while looking at the map”, so that the lost child characters are established quickly I decided to do it.

The 2018 winter event with Gumby implemented, “Battle of the Battle of Battle! Strikes, Battle Off the Battle of Leyte (2nd Season)” has been taking place until March 23, and the tour of Sasebo chijyufu meguri is a real event carried out in the middle of that winter event.
In other words, she was named as a collaboration character in the middle of implementation rather than just after implementation.

I do not know the reason for this big selection.
In Sasebo there is a US military base so there is nothing to be totally ridiculous, but American ship daughter is other than gambie, and there are quite a few admulals who have not even obtained yet, so she is one of the faces of this ship It will not be a reason to be brought to the real event as a person.

So it is speculation to the last … … It probably was bought the goodness of compatibility between the character of Gumby and the outdoor event.

Her hair with plenty of hair is constantly playing as if it is receiving the wind, so there is outdoorness as it is.
The usual appearance is also an outdoor system, and the face which her nasty face is more than anything is best for expressing “an event in a place where there is not much border”.
There are not a few admiral who have wandered around the town of Sasebo with the same expression as Gumby.

The image character of the real event is surprisingly important not only for the degree of familiarity and likability but also for matching with the environment where the event is held.
Gumby may have been selected by the strangeness of that match.

Anyway, she regretted the stamp rally, such as being picked up as a character of the stamp rally with the setting “lost in the Yomizui Land” even at the event “Zuiun Festival” after the tour around this Sasebo chinjyufu meguri. It demonstrates without it.
It is totally an outdoor event’s face.

Heating fan art

Ship It is very powerful weapon that a character is clear and easy to understand in a work with many such characters like this.
Fan art is particularly prominent in its benefits.

Although it is a gumby which was originally characterized by what character it was originally known, in the fan art where it is more important to capture the character’s character by having the lost child character settled, it is more important to draw and draw It became existence which can also be said to be the leader of “Ship-nurse daughter.”
Moreover, in her case “private clothes are cute”, “actually the thorax armor is rich”, etc. Also packed with elements that shine fan art.
Many ships were drawn from this fan.

Fan art is not just a popular barometer, there are cases where new character is attached by fan art.
Especially the ship This is a remarkable importance as it can be said that the ship daughter whose character attachment was reinforced by secondary creation is very numerous and it can be said as a game walking with fan art.
And even though Gumby is less than a year from implementation, it already has acquired a new aspect.

It is establishment of an irritated character.

Because bewilderment pronouncies stand out and puzzled faces and full of emotional expressions become good, a lot of fan art to show off the performance art appears.
It got even harder and I got up to the cry called “bay” taken from part of her name, and I got up to small animals cute.

The mystery of “Deep sea floating ring” popularity

What is essential for talking about current Gumby is the existence of “deep sea floating rings”.

Originally it was something like an abductive lady prayed by a deep sea fleet resembling a gumby, but it was not an important thing to pick it up, but why that design that is too odd is why “　Cugly ” He got a reputation and gained local popularity.

In addition, the ship drew by Akira The 5th anniversary commemorative illustration Gumby & escort With the living princess somehow their deep sea floating rings appeared, the fan art which drew deep sea floating rings and gumby rapidly increased.
Before I knew it, the two had become like a partner.

After that, deep sea floating rings became goods for some reason, became popular as a mascot character, and as a result the popularity and the name recognition of the other parties also increased (in a barter-like sense).
She received a tail wind from the floating ring, and in less than a year, she took part in the popular warship daughter.

Summary

Gumby which showed an activity not so much as to say MVP in 2018, it was chosen as the main character together with Haruna even at the first lot, and it is already established as a popular character completely.
She is possibly strong on revision, but maybe it is delicious for those who are weak like characters …?
Either way, I’m a ship and daughter I’d like to focus on in the future!
