China's October New Anime Releases Continue to Regulate the Entertainment Sector, Regardless of Whether Chinese or Foreign Produced [Anime Situation of Chinese Otaku].

My name is Baiyuan Longhoam, and I am introducing various topics related to the otaku situation in China.
In this issue, I would like to introduce the trends related to the new Japanese anime of October distributed on Chinese video websites, the recent regulatory situation in China, and the incident involving the regulation of Japanese content that has attracted a great deal of attention.

While the distribution schedule is unstable and expected works are not being distributed, some people are watching works that they would normally not touch.

Since April, when the regulatory control over new Japanese anime was tightened, the distribution schedule on Chinese video websites has been unstable; some of the new releases in July were not updated until October, and the start of distribution of new releases in October was not known until just before the start of distribution. Unlike in the past, there have been a number of cases where the start of distribution of new releases in October was not known until just before the start of distribution, or distribution was delayed until much later than in the past.
Even at the time of this writing, at the end of October, the initial popularity of the previous seasons is not yet apparent, and topics in the Chinese otaku community tend to be scattered, making it difficult to get excited.

However, even in such a situation, there are some works that are attracting attention, especially "King Ranking," which has become surprisingly popular. In the Chinese otaku community, "King's Ranking" is highly rated for its seemingly conventional combination of settings and characters, but its compelling storyline and impressive direction. From the Chinese geeks.
Many of them have watched new animations without setting their sights on this work because it rarely delivers the works they expect.
If things had been the way they were before, this work would not have attracted much attention at the initial launch." Among Chinese otaku, a picture design that looks like something for children is particularly unfavorable.
and so on.

Among the other titles that began distribution in October, "Paladin of the Farthest End" is being welcomed as a good Japanese fantasy with an old-fashioned feel, and "Since I was kicked out of the hero's party for not being a true companion, I decided to live a slow life in a remote area" is a recent Japanese It is said to have become a solidly popular fantasy work. Incidentally, the so-called "true friends" story is also quite popular among Chinese otaku, and it is possible that it had some influence on the initial popularity of this work.
Other works such as "A story about a junior whose senpai is annoying" and"The world's best assassin gets reincarnated as an aristocrat in another world" also seem to have increased the number of views comparatively steadily.
