You know...as a Chinese-American, I kinda feel embarrassed to see co-produced anime projects like these.
Yes, I understand there is still plenty of learning process ahead for China's native anime industry, but projects like these will only contribute to an increasingly negative reputation, and man, does it hurt to see that growing market is becoming a laughing stock to some (of course not all) western audience. The main investor Tencent better find some decent domestic manga to adapt, otherwise this negative cycle will only get worse... |

Last summer's Hitori no Shita the outcast anime and last fall's Bloodivores anime also adapted comics in Tencent's Tencent Comic website.
Oh dear... |

Outcast was fine imo, if anything it needed more eps. That being said Bloodivores was a terrible disaster I didn't finish.
This kinda looks closer to Bloodivores than Outcast at first glance, but who knows if we'll ever get to watch it cause announcing a show a whole 8 days before its first ep tells me its unlikely we'll get a simulcast. Just hope Reikenzan S2 gets one, S1 last year didn't but it was the first chinese cartoon and rest after it did... |

To be honest, I'd "stored" quite a few of these Japanese and China co-produced animation on my hard drive (I barely have any cash to buy BD and subscribing to Crunchyroll is not really an option due to my internet being unstable!) but I never get around to watching them because they seemed pretty uninteresting, with the exception for To Be Hero because I'll kinda enjoyed it. Most of them had been dubbed in Japanese as well (Aoishen Qiaokeli or whatever the title is remained in original audio) but it's pretty hard for me to learn how to pronounce the name of an anime character in these kind of series that had a Chinese name (as in the case with Hitori no Shita) and even the dubbed one kept their original name intact, which served to increase the longetivity for my utter confusion and utter unwillingness to try and watch one. From what I can see so far, most of these co-produced anime has received relatively weak reception from internet fans of Europe and whatever further west, so I don't really see the reason why they kept doing this. Does the Japanese and Chinese fans actually supported these productions?
There's some interesting stuff to be read here, and I ain't gonna like it if somehow Chinese anime managed to be more widespread in the future because..well, let's just not get into the personal side of things because it would be disrespectful. http://en.rocketnews24.com/2016/09/20/chinese-animation-making-inroads-on-japanese-television-but-not-everyone-is-a-fan/ |

This Chinese-Japanese Co-Produced Animated shows how things work in anime world. If you want anime for the audiences of your country, you have the put your money in it.
For years i read about some western fan complaining about how anime should have more shows with international fans in mind, that anime too Japanese, that pander too much to Japanese otaku will not go mainstream, etc. Now this show how things work. If you want anime to pander to your audiences, put some money in it. Write to Crunchyroll or Funimation so they made Co-Produced Animated shows with Japanese anime companies. |

Wow the art on that poster look both generic and cheap, it's your promotional poster! You should really go all out and make people want to watch the show.

My only response to this is... that's an actual anime title?

In 20 years I predict that Japan's comics and animation industry will be mostly absorbed into a Chinese market centered comics and animation industry.
It's natural given China's process of development, East Asian cultural affinities and its massive population (which is 11 times bigger than Japan's). Still China's current comic and animation products are pretty primitive (if you take a look at Chinese animated films like "100,000 Bad Jokes" which is on youtube, you will notice that their animation industry is still in a rather primitive state) and this show is a reflection of that, it will take quite a long time for it to mature. |

I'm not so sure, look at America and japan, America has more people than japan yet it didn't absorb anime. And china and japan aren't exactly on the best of terms, I'd imagine anime will always stay as a niche product and china home grown anime will always be a bit distinct from the japan kind. |

Madhouse tried this very briefly for a single year when they did the Supernatural anime and the Marvel ones, but the problem was they were all [expletive] terrible so they were abysmal failures and it hasn't happened since. |
