First of all, I want to say that if you ask me if a work with American humor like Spongebob Squarepants is good, of course it is good. Apart from anything else, in terms of character creation, this is an anime destined to have a lot of dramatic conflicts.
The protagonist Spongebob is lively, innocent, helpful, somewhat confident and even arrogant, because he is an excellent employee of the Krusty Krab and the temporary karate king. However, he will also feel sad because of what others say, such as learning to make crab patties from a more skilled chef, or thinking about what not to do at a red light late at night in order to complete his homework. Once, Patrick accused him of throwing away memories by throwing away garbage, so he went to put all the sweat he sweated at work into a jar for collection. He also likes heroes and has his own heroic dream. Many people say that the translation of SpongeBob is not good. He is obviously living independently, working part-time to make money, and has started to take the driver's license test. He should not be called a baby and should be literally translated as Sponge Bob. But I feel wrong, Spongebob, he will probably always be a teenager, which I envy. Calling him Bob would be too mature.
As for his counterpart, Squidward, he is completely opposite to SpongeBob. He is like a social animal in reality, Buddhist, mourning, burying his dreams in the cemetery, but when he is in the house, I can still draw, play the recorder, recall my past literary life and dream of being an artist.
As Mr. Lu Xun said, people's joys and sorrows are actually not the same. Squidward only thinks that SpongeBob is noisy. But think about it carefully, which scene of Squidward impressed us the most? It was Spongebob who stood up for him after being accused for no reason and threw the pizza in the face of the unreasonable customer. If you think about it carefully, Squidward has helped SpongeBob more than once. He put on a beard to distribute gifts at Christmas, supported SpongeBob who fainted after the jellyfish field turned into a road, and Mr. Krabs protested to his boss after selling SpongeBob's soul. Leading Spongebob on strike to get wages...
Speaking of this, I suddenly thought, was the young Squidward also a person like Spongebob when he was young? He also exchanged his house for a piece of paper, and once got into a cardboard box to start a car in the middle of the night. Although he buried his dream, he still retained a glimmer of hope.
The expressions and movements of the characters are sometimes exaggerated inner expressions and sometimes unusually real and sad. The plot is filled with painful metaphors for the real world. These metaphors are either exaggerated embodiments of personal inner thoughts, or complaints and satires about the world, as well as some of the author's personal likes and dislikes. Although the plot does its best to reflect the injustice and pain of reality. But the main characters all have very rare, precious and touching characters. What impresses me most about Spongebob is his love and dedication to his career. Patrick Star's few episodes show strong support for friends online. As a famous wretch under the sea, Squidward tries to maintain an elegant life and is willing to stand up when others are insulted.
