First episode just came out today, so I haven't had a way to track it down yet. :*(Insanely good from an artistic and animation standpoint. How is the show?
Says it was directed by a Japanese director, so maybe that's why.I have zero knowledge about the chinese animation scene. Looks very japanese…

Well Japanese animation is quite well known at this point, it wouldn't be surprising to see elements of it in other east Asian animated works.I have zero knowledge about the chinese animation scene. Looks very japanese…
That's the fucking Drake meme lol
The "anime" style has been popular not just in Japan, but Taiwan, Korea, China and other forawhile now.I have zero knowledge about the chinese animation scene. Looks very japanese…

Blew my mind when I saw it floating around on twitter. From what I've seen the actual anime/donghua doesn't match that quality at all. Like not even close.
The "anime" style has been popular not just in Japan, but Taiwan, Korea, China and other forawhile now.
And since Japan also outsource alot of their animation to China and Korea, they have been making their own "anime" for awhile too.
Anime is just short for animation, and manga is just comic in japanese.
Currently, it's more of a art style that is popularized in Asia(Taiwan, China, Japan, Korea, etc) and it's just a form of media, which can span multiple genre.
So it does feel slightly...racist? to just say all of a specific media is bad, when it can span many thing.
But in general, when people talk about anime and manga, their talking about the moe culture part of it.
Which is a problematic group, but a vocal minroity with alot of disposable income, so the popular are tailor toward them in game, and other media.
Like this a chinese serie made in China, but if just looking at the art style, most people would say it's anime.
Or if looking at Manga, look at Pronjea, a Taiwanese artist living in Taiwan and has publish in Shounen Jump in Japan.
And currently has 3 ongoing serie in Japan too.
And Korea has their own thing too, they call it Webtoon
And Taiwan, we also have ACG(Anime, Comic, Game) convention that city governer and our president visited, and also city government supporting local artist by having them make anime style mascot for transport, like the K.R.T Girls.

That's damn gorgeous for sure.
Isn't it like... illegal to show skeletons in media in China though?

I remember hearing that World of Warcraft had to change all of their skeleton undead characters to zombies for the Chinese market back in the day.What's your source for this? I see this a lot and I'm always curious why people say it.

This article suggests that the changes were voluntary, but doesn't give a very clear reason for why that specific change would have been made:

Yeah. Clearly the idea that this would be preferable to the censors came from *somewhere*, but it's not explicitly illegal. I don't know why zombies would promote superstition less than skeletons...?Read the article, doesn't sound like it's illegal to show skeletons and ghosts in Chinese media lol.

Chthonic is legendary for real though. I adore them.
edit: Though, I feel like there's a huge difference between Japanese and Korean anime/manga. Webtoons have a really distinctive style.
With a lot of Chinese anime/manga, I feel like the lines are cleaner/shading is more flat? I also think I see a lot of the same motifs.
Even Japanese anime about China doesn't quite have the same look.
Anyone have a chance to catch the first episode yet?
I haven't found any avenue to watch it yet anywhere, so I'm curious.
I guess that makes the op even more amazing then, aw well.Yeah Ep 1-2 were released. The animation in it is standard, not bad, not amazing, definitely don't expect anything resembled the OP's high quality.
About the story, it's a cultivation power fantasy in a modern city setting. It's not really my thing but the source material(a web-novel) is rather popular in China, so maybe it has its intended audience.
