A work that had been given up on suddenly begins distribution. The difficulty of producing Chinese characters in this day and age is also noticeable, the October new anime situation in China [Anime Situation of Chinese Otaku].

My name is Baiyuan Longhoam, and I am a writer who introduces various topics related to the otaku situation in China.
This time, I would like to introduce the trend of new Japanese anime released in October on Chinese video sites and the treatment of Chinese characters in Japanese works, which has become more and more difficult in China in recent years.

New Japanese anime distribution is delayed by more than a month or even a season.

In China, there are still strong restrictions and pressure on entertainment content in general, and the situation with Japanese anime is still unstable. In particular, there have been a number of new anime titles for which it is not clear whether they can be distributed or not, or when they will be distributed, and there seems to be continuing confusion regarding new anime titles for October.
However, despite this situation, some works that many people had given up on distributing to China are suddenly being distributed, or there have been some announcements of distribution.

Among these works, "Demon Slayer" Infinite Train is said to be particularly popular, and its distribution on bilibili suddenly started in mid-November, which has been welcomed by local people with surprise and uncertainty as to whether it can continue to be distributed in the future.
Other than that, the new anime "Love Live! Super Star! has now been distributed in batches of several episodes on bilibili. Other new anime such as "Furumi-san is a commie" and "Komi-san is a commie" are also available on bilibili. and other works that have been highly anticipated in the Chinese otaku community but have not yet been distributed, have also been announced for distribution on Tencent.

In terms of new anime releases in October, works such as "King's Ranking," which has been performing well in China since the beginning of the season, are attracting attention that would have been buried under the previous environment due to the fact that the first impression of the work did not match the general tastes of Chinese anime viewers, and other unexpected effects of regulations are also being seen. The regulations have also had an impact.
However, due to unstable distribution schedules, etc.
"The topic of conversation has been dispersed, and the new anime-related topics have not become exciting.
"The number of viewers is not increasing because of the lack of interest in the topic".
Some people think that this is a big negative impact overall.

However, there is no doubt that the long-awaited popular works in China, such as "Demon Slayer," which became popular as soon as its distribution started, will boost the popularity of the new anime.
Some Chinese geeks commented on the current situation
"When it comes to popular works, I still want to watch them while making a fuss with others through the barrage of comments on video websites.
"I don't like the situation where the people who are watching the official distribution lose out.
It seems that there are many people who are waiting to see if the works they are hoping to see will somehow be distributed on the regular distribution sites.
