Chinese Otaku Puzzled by the Great Popularity of "Blade of Demon's Destruction the Movie"? China's October New Anime Release [Anime Situation of Chinese Otaku].

My name is Hundred Yuan Kagoyo, and I am introducing this and that concerning the Chinese otaku situation.
This time, I would like to introduce the trend of new Japanese anime of October distributed on Chinese video sites, and the fact that "Demon Slayer the Movie: Infinity Train" has been getting a ton of popularity and box-office sales, which has baffled Chinese otaku people.

The initial response of October's new releases is mixed, depending on whether or not they were able to take advantage of the attention from popular works in the past.

In China, there were no new animations that were clearly well-received by the Chinese viewers, so the initial response tended to be scattered. At this point in time, it seems that there is no "must-have" work for this season, but there are some works that are gradually attracting attention.

Among the new anime releases in October, "Tonikakkaku Kawaii" and"Hanyou no Yasha Hime" were interesting, as they were divided on whether or not they were able to capture the anticipation that had gathered from related works in the past.
These two works are respectively "Hayate no Gotoku! and "Inuyasha," two works that were very popular in the early days of the formation of the otaku demographic in China.

And "Tonikakkaku Kawaii " was the first of the "Hayate no Gotoku! was off to a good start by satisfying the "stability," "feel-good viewing," and "having something to talk about," which had been expected by the Chinese otaku community based on the flow of "Hayate no Gotoku!
From the Chinese otaku community
"It's supposed to be a light romantic comedy, but strangely enough, it keeps me watching.
I also heard that "works that draw you in with their depth and ups and downs of the storyline are good, but for those who want to cut loose, this is the kind of work that I like!
In addition, they also said that the fact that they can enjoy the works with a general knowledge of China or even a sketchy knowledge of otaku makes them feel at ease when following the works.

In contrast, "Half Demon Princess Yasha," unfortunately, is currently being received in China as "not as fans expected. In China, "Inuyasha" is a popular work that has created an era among Japanese anime fans, and in the case of "Half Demon Princess Yasha," the interest was focused on "what happened to the Inuyasha characters after the previous work? What happened to Inuyasha's characters after the previous work was completed?

However, in the beginning of "Half Demon Princess Yashahime," new details were introduced one after another, but the main characters from the previous work remained unaccounted for. This apparently caused quite a bit of dissatisfaction, and some Chinese geeks commented that the main characters of Inuyasha
Many Chinese geeks were annoyed by the fact that the story progressed without knowing what happened to the main characters of "Inuyasha. This also seems to magnify their dissatisfaction with the poor expression and pacing of the storyline and battle scenes.
This is what the audience complained about.

As for other works that have attracted attention since the beginning of the season, "Jujutsu Kaisen" seems to be doing well, with the popularity of the character of Gojo Satoru as the main topic of conversation in China, and "Maou Shiro de Oyasumi" is a fun and easy-to-watch work that twists the standard Japanese fantasy setting. It seems that "Good Night at the Devil's Castle" has been welcomed by those who find it enjoyable and easy to watch, with a twist on the standard Japanese fantasy setting.

Other than that, "Akudama Drive," "Witch's Journey," and "501st JJF Strike Witches ROAD to BERLIN " are also gaining popularity, while "It's Wrong to Ask to Meet in a Dungeon III" and"The Man Picked Up by the Gods" are steadily increasing in views. The number of views of "Dangeon ni Okeru Datante wo Mukae wo Sukeruka Otoko" and "Kami-tachi ni Okareta Otoko" are increasing steadily.

Incidentally, "The Lesser Students of Magical High School: The Visitor Arc" and"Higurashi When They Cry", both of which were well known in China and had many old fans, do not seem to be available in mainland China at this time.
In recent years, China has been tightening its regulations, and the risk of inflammation has also become very high. There have been a number of situations in which no resolution has been found. It seems that both "Lesser Students" and "Higurashi" are recognized as risky works in China, so it may be difficult to distribute them under the current circumstances, no matter how well known they are.
