Do Otaku in China Focus on Whether or Not They Spend Money? October New Anime Releases in China [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 new Japanese anime released in October on Chinese video sites, and the image of "money" that has been emphasized as a criterion for evaluating anime in China in recent years.

October's new anime is a classic, a work that everyone can talk about and enjoy.

In China, new animations in October are harvested at the time of their initial release, and works that become popular in the early stages of the season continue to gain popularity and accumulate views.
And among these, the first one that was frequently talked about was "Prudent Yusha - This Yusha is too prudent for my TUEEE.

As mentioned in the previous issue, "Careful Yusha" is a Japanese "otherworldly metastasis/reincarnation" work that is often regarded as too tedious in China these days, but its parody-like content based on standard stories seems to have stuck with a fairly broad base of Chinese otaku and is attracting popularity and attention while providing a topic of conversation. It is a work of art that has been accumulating among Chinese otaku in particular.

In particular, the "forcing of unreasonable demands," "covering up for incompetent people," "all kinds of abusive language and violence," and the "protagonist who accepts them," etc., have been accumulating among Chinese otaku, and the response to these dissatisfactions with the common development and characters, including the use of force and criticism, including meta-objects, has been well received. The response to these issues by "human butt-numbing," "various abusive language and violence," and "the protagonist who accepts them," etc., seems to be well received, leading to a good feeling of being able to watch and laugh at the work.

Such rebellion and counterattacks against the promised development may risk making the protagonist side seem arrogant, but according to a Chinese otaku, the structure and direction of the "Cautious Yusha" anime not only show parts that are funny and sympathetic, but also provide a sense of humor and empathy, According to a Chinese otaku, the structure and direction of the "Cautious Brave" anime not only make the audience laugh and sympathize with the characters, but also allow them to easily enjoy the gags and humor, thanks to the use of face tricks and other comical elements that are often used in Chinese stories.
Furthermore, as information about this parody-like style spread, some people were concerned that the synopsis that had been spread beforehand might lead to "a trap with a depressing plot" and avoided the show. As information about the parody style spread, some people who had been worried and avoided the show because they thought it might be a trap with a depressing plot, were reassured that it was basically a funny work.

BEASTARS" is the next most popular work with support from the enthusiasts, and it is perceived as a literary work with a rich story, characters, and unique worldview in the background. In addition, the CG direction of the Japanese anime style is also highly evaluated.

Incidentally, "BEASTARS" is also favorably received by Chinese otaku in terms of alterations from the original work, which are often negatively criticized as "magical modifications" (from the original work). According to a Chinese otaku, "the anime version is easier to understand" and "the anime adaptation has broadened the frontiers in a very orthodox direction.

Sword Art Online Arisimation War of Underworld" has maintained a steady popularity in China as a legitimate work that many people have been following for many years. Many people know the storyline of this work from the original work, so they can tolerate unpleasant villains and depressing developments because they have a sense of security in knowing what is going to happen next.

In addition, "Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Monster Front Babylonia" is an anime based on the "Fate" series, which is very popular in China as well, and has attracted a lot of attention, both good and bad, and is a constant topic of conversation.
However, there are a large number of Fate fans in China today, and their tastes and priorities vary widely, so it is said that there are frequent disputes over the anime's content, differences from the original work, and how it compares to other works in the series.
However, from an outside perspective, the Chinese version of the FGO service coincided with a period of time when there was not much to do in terms of the implementation schedule, so for Chinese fans, it came at just the right time to provide "fuel to maintain their enthusiasm for the work. There is also a story about .......

In addition to the above works, other new works in October, such as "My Hero Academia (4th season)," "Do You Only Love Me?" and "I Told You My Ability Was Average!" etc., appear to be gaining relatively strong popularity and buzz.
