China's July new anime situation finally started in the second half of August, and Japan-related events are getting even tougher [Anime Situation for 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 trends related to new Japanese anime released in July on Chinese video sites, as well as Japan-related events in China, which are currently undergoing a very difficult atmosphere.

Although the distribution notice of the expected new July anime finally appeared in the latter half of August, ......

As we reported in our previous article, there has been almost no information regarding the distribution of new July anime in China since the beginning of July, and the number of new Japanese anime that have actually started distribution has been greatly reduced compared to the previous seasons. And because of this situation, the Chinese otaku community seemed to have given up on new anime releases in July.

However, in late August, bilibili suddenly released a notice for new July anime distribution, and among them were "Isekai Ojisan," "Licorice Recoil," "Hataraku Maou-sama! Among them were "Isekai Ojisan," "Licorice Recoil," and "Hataraku Maou-sama!
Also, although not a new title for July, "Super Cub," which was announced for distribution on acfun last year but remained unavailable due to tightened regulatory control immediately afterward, is now being distributed on bilibili.

However, even though the platform has announced and advertised the distribution, specific information such as "When will the distribution start? and the number of episodes that will be updated is also said to be unstable. For this reason, it is said that there are still many people in the Chinese otaku community who are preparing themselves for the distribution of new anime , saying, "I can't rest easy until it actually starts.

One Chinese otaku commented on this situation.
There was a rumor going around that the screening process for new anime distribution is taking longer because the number of episodes that must be submitted for review has increased from three to six. Although we do not know the truth of this rumor, there is a strong possibility that the screening process for the distribution of new Japanese animations is becoming stricter than before.

Looking at the trend of stricter screening and regulation of new Western dramas in China, one would think that the screening standards for new Japanese anime would become even stricter in the future, delaying the distribution of new anime.
Some of the comments included such comments as, "The new works that have been newly announced for distribution are not yet available.

Incidentally, among the newly announced titles, "Isekai Ojisan" is said to be the one that has attracted particular attention from Chinese otaku.
The original manga of "Isekai Ojisan" is very popular in China, and in addition, there are many people who think that the work is worth watching on Chinese video sites even if the distribution is delayed because it was highly anticipated in terms of "being a very good anime to watch while making a lot of noise with comments on video sites. It is said that not a few people think that the work is worth watching on Chinese video sites even if the distribution is delayed.
