Has it stabilized compared to the past? The October New Anime Releases in China and the "Limited Time" Popularity of Japanese Voice Actors in China [Anime Situation of Chinese Otaku] (Japanese only)

My name is Baiyuan Kagoyamo, and I am here to introduce you to all things related to the otaku situation in China.
This time, I would like to introduce trends related to new Japanese anime for October distributed on Chinese video sites and the current "limited time" situation of the popularity of Japanese voice actors in China.

Although the situation continues to be difficult for Gundam to start, the distribution of new October anime is calmer than before


The distribution of Japanese anime in China continues to be a difficult situation, but there are some new works that have not yet been distributed, such as "Mobile Suit Gundam: Witches of Mercury", which has been announced but has not yet been distributed.
However, a good number of new works have been distributed as new anime, and the update schedule has been relatively stable considering the recent situation, so there seems to be a view that things are "calmer than before" in China.

As for the new releases in October, the most popular ones are the following. The most popular work is "SPY x FAMILY," which has become very popular not only among otaku but also among the general public in the second season of October. Next is "BOTCHI ZA-ROKKU!" which has been rapidly gaining in popularity and reputation since the start of the October season. is the next work that has seen a surge in popularity and evaluation since the season started in October, and it is said that this work has divided people more than in Japan between those who are attracted to it and those who are not.

According to Chinese otaku, "Bocchi Za Roku! was initially expected in Chinese otaku circles to be like "K-ON! but those who have seen the anime that has actually started have commented, "This is just like a student band.
However, those who have actually seen the anime that has started have commented that it is clearly a different work from "K-ON! but the people who actually saw the anime that started were puzzled and said, "Isn't this a different work from 'K-ON!
However, people who have actually seen the anime have voiced their confusion, saying, "This is a work that clearly differs from 'K-ON!

In China, not only is the band culture not rooted in the same way as in Japan, but the whole rock genre has disappeared in the past due to regulations, so there is a large individual difference in how the basic aspects of the works are perceived.
Perhaps because of this background, "Bocchi Za Rokku! is a work that has been received in a way that is rare in China these days, with noticeable differences in the evaluation of the parts and songs that attract attention even among fans who are currently following the anime.

Other than that, as otherworldly works that can be watched with an easygoing mood, works such as "I'm a villainess, so I tried to keep the last boss" and"Somehow I became strong when I kept improving my peasant-related skills" are also said to be stable and popular.
As for sequels, "Mob Psycho 100 III" is also doing well and has maintained steady popularity since the beginning of the season, and "POPTEPIC" has been welcomed by enthusiasts because it is "irresistible to those who can understand it.
In addition, "Bleach: Millennium Blood War", a long-time sequel to "Bleach", which was once one of the most popular anime for Chinese otaku, is said to be attracting fans from the older generation, and the newly revealed visuals of the first Gohonjutai 13th Squadron have surprised the older generation of otaku. The new visuals of the original 13th Squadron are said to have surprised some of the older fans.
