Here and there, we were forced to be aware of the influence of the new Corona.

My name is Baiyuan Longhoam, 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 the new Japanese anime released in April on Chinese video sites, as well as the changing popularity of female protagonists, which has recently become one of the most popular images of protagonists in China.

New Anime in April: The Influence of the New Corona

The new Corona has caused a completely different situation for the April season, and it seems to have affected the otaku community in China in various ways, making it a season of anxiety and bewilderment for the local otaku community as well.

Before the start of the April season, the second season of "Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu" and "Sore Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Mawatte ga Mawattaite", which were considered the most anticipated April titles in China, were postponed. The second season of "Re:Zero kara Hajimete Isekai Seikatsu" and "Soreta Ore no Seishun Love Comedy ga Migatteiru" were postponed, causing many people to wonder what to watch.
In addition, "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T" and several other popular works were postponed during the season, making things difficult for both local viewers and the video sites that distribute Japanese anime.

According to an otaku in China, "Toaru Kagaku no Railgun T" was one of the most successful sequel series distributed in China in recent years, and it had revived its popularity, attracting new fans as well as old ones who had come back when the anime started.
In terms of the direction of popularity, the heroine Shokuhou Misaki, who began to play a full-fledged role in the third season, was also experiencing a surge in popularity, and there were new trends that differed from the old ones.

The fact that the broadcast of the 16th and later episodes was postponed until late July, and that there is no more fuel for the new anime for the time being, is a disappointing situation for the Chinese fans, although it cannot be helped.

As of the time of writing this column in early June, there does not seem to be much movement in the popularity of April's new anime in China, and it appears that the popularity of the works that attracted initial attention and discussion, as mentioned in my previous column, is continuing to grow.
First of all, "Kaguya-sama ga naruserasai ka? ～The story is of high quality and can be watched comfortably, and it is very popular among both light users and those who have read the original work.
It is also said that the second season of "Kaguya-sama" has more episodes that spotlight sub-characters, so there is more talk in the Chinese otaku community about characters other than those that have been popular so far.

In this day and age, " I 've been reincarnated as a villainous daughter with nothing but doom flags from Otome games..." has been welcomed as a comedy series that can be watched comfortably while making quips about the various performances, story development, and parodies scattered throughout the series. And "Princess Connect!

Re:Dive " has gained high popularity and popularity as a result of the open beta of the original game that started in mid-April in China, which is a little different from other new anime.
In China, where information and stories about specific characters have been spreading widely in the past, the game's service launch has been a good match for the spread of the fan base and the anime's content, increasing its popularity and buzz. The game's service has been launched and the fan base has been spreading, and the content of the anime has matched well, increasing the buzz and popularity of the game. ......
