Maidragon is Missing, Gundam Finds Hope in China's New Anime Releases for July [Anime Situation for Chinese Otaku].

My name is Baiyuan Kagoyamo, and I am introducing various topics related to the otaku situation in China.
This time, I would like to introduce trends related to the new Japanese anime of July distributed on Chinese video sites, the current Gundam situation in China, and more.

July's new anime, which have calmed down somewhat but are still as unsettling as ever.

In the July season, there was a sudden tightening of the number control for new Japanese anime distributed in China, and the situation has calmed down somewhat compared to April, when there was chaos in various areas. However, it seems that the new animations in July are still not going as planned in advance.

Currently in China, due to stricter screening censorship, regulations, and self-imposed restrictions on Japanese animation, the availability and schedule of distribution is uncertain, and the risk of fire for foreign content, including Japanese, is increasing. In addition, the number of Japanese anime titles being distributed is also decreasing in general.

In addition, the number of scenes and dialogues that have been deleted or modified is increasing, and Chinese geeks are complaining that "the only way to ensure quick delivery is to deliver the animation on schedule.
I know it's inevitable in order to deliver the anime quickly and on schedule, but it's a complicated situation because the people who deliver the anime are getting more adept at deleting and correcting.
They also said, "I know we have to do this in order to deliver the schedule quickly.

The July season did not go as planned, and some titles had not yet been released, including "Kobayashi-san-chi no Maidragon S," which was the most anticipated new title for July in China.

As for "Maidragon of Mr. Kobayashi's Child S," bilibili, which is distributing the first season of the series, was actively promoting the series by announcing the acquisition of the copyright and distributing PVs at an early stage, but when July came, distribution did not start and no announcement was made about it. However, when July came, distribution had not started and there were no announcements about it at all.
There are various speculations in the Chinese otaku community as to the cause of "Maidragon" not being distributed in China, ranging from the contents and procedures to problems with the people involved, but there are many aspects that are not known from the information that is out there, and local fans are feeling anxious.

However, despite this situation, there are some works that are currently being distributed that are gaining popularity and attention.
Among the new releases in July, sequels are said to be the most popular, with "Reincarnate and You're a Slime, Part 2" and"Reincarnated as a Villainous Daughter with Only the Flag of Doom in Otome Games...X" doing well. These sequels have been well received by fans and video sites because they know the style and the future development of the original works, so they can watch them with peace of mind.

In recent years, works such as"Seirei Genshi Ki " and "Tsuki ga Shido Isekai Douchu " have gotten off to a good start in China, which is said to be able to gain solid popularity because it is easy to watch.
Other than that, "The Detective is Already Dead. and "Shinigami Bo-chan to Kuro Maid " have gained their own fans, and "Labyrinth Black Company" is said to have an interesting sting. I have heard that company stockbroker-type protagonists have some kind of sting in China as well, and perhaps the black company story has become a familiar, easy-to-understand element that can be used to make a variety of stories.
