Love Elements Are Subject to Restrictions. New Patterns in Revision: China's January New Anime Releases [Chinese Otaku Anime Situation] (Japanese only)

My name is Hundred Yuan Kagoyo, and I am introducing this and that about the otaku situation in China.
This time, I would like to introduce some trends related to the new Japanese anime of January distributed on Chinese video sites, as well as the method of modifying Japanese anime in China these days.

Stable, but still difficult to distribute the expected new January animations.

In China, the season from January has been stable in general, but new animations have not been that exciting, perhaps due to the long Chinese New Year vacations, and popular and popular works from the past, which can be viewed all together, have tended to increase in viewer numbers.

This year, with the ongoing regulatory turmoil, the situation does not seem to have changed much, and the distribution of new animations seems to have settled down. The distribution schedule has become more stable compared to the past, and some works are being distributed with almost no time lag from the Japanese broadcast.

However, regulations and self-imposed restrictions on the content of the works are still in place, and there have been reports that works expected by Chinese anime fans, which were considered risky in mainland China, are not being distributed, so it appears that the difficult situation continues.

In the new anime releases in January, there are several works that have been well received and are attracting attention.
First, in the romantic comedy field, "Karakajide no Takagi-san 3" seems to be a steady favorite. According to a Chinese otaku, "Mr. Takagi's" unique romantic comedy development and sense of distance are said to have a strong appeal to a certain segment of the population, and the fact that the expression of romantic relationships "does not seem to be a problem" in China today, making the work "safe to watch" in many ways, is also working to its advantage.

In the fantasy series, works such as"In the Land of Liadale,""The Genius Prince's Deficit State Revival Technique" and "The Strongest Sage with a Disqualified Crest" seem to be gaining solid popularity, with a mixture of fans who have been following the original novel and new fans who started with the anime. I hear that.
Incidentally, the heroine's revealing costume in "Prince Tensai's Deficit Reconstruction Technique" was modified when it was distributed locally, and some local fans lamented , "The heroine's side boobs have been modified! The heroine's side boobs have been corrected!

Re:Dive Season 2" has attracted attention from a core audience that includes players of the original game, which is also available in China, and the quality of the artwork has been highly praised. The "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 6: Stone Ocean" was also distributed in China at one time, so the topic of conversation was raised at a slightly different time than other new anime. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has become a basic knowledge work for otaku in China, with new, devoted fans being created through recent anime adaptations, and the Part 6 anime also seems to be attracting a strong fan base.

In addition to the above works, "King's Ranking," a work that has continued from the previous season, seems to have continued to do well in its second season. However, a Chinese otaku told us, "Since the anime story entered the controversial part of the original story, there has been a lot of dissatisfaction in China, and the atmosphere among fans has been changing.
Recently in China, there have been many more cases of dissatisfaction erupting when a storyline deviates from the viewer's wishes or ends in a way that is not what the viewers wanted, and the situation has become even worse than before. In addition, the "Demon Slayer" has been featured on the "Demon Slayer" website.

In addition, "Demon Slayer" has somehow managed to distribute all seven episodes of the "Infinity Train Arc" and has become very popular, but there is no word on whether or not the "Yu-Gaku Arc" will be distributed, and many people in the Chinese otaku community seem to think that it may be difficult considering the content.
