The cast listed above is all Japanese, same as it was for Reikenzan. It is being shown on TV Tokyo in Japanese.

Seems interesting, judging from the cover it looked like it'd contain powers with mystery involved and then read the synopsis, I guess I was right but did not expect anything to do with zombies lol

I'm fine with more Chinese works getting anime adaptations. Just hoping they at least get a decent budget for it. The premise has my interest slightly.

Tencent own AC.QQ so can i hope for more AC.QQ series to get anime... at lot already have anime by CH studios in china, but i guess opening a studio in JP to work with more experience people is not a bad idea.

Hopefully this looks better than reikenzan that had very uninspiring animation.

hopefully Zui wu dao gets an anime in the future

I like both but focus on one thing.

This can be said about any language depending on who you're talking to.

Fun Fact: Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the world

No I actually think Mandarin sounds unpleasant and ridiculous, along with Thai and Finnish.

That's my point. In your opinion Mandarin, Thai, and Finnish are horrible languages while someone else in the world may believe that English, Spanish, and Japanese are horrible. When I say it depends on the person, all I mean is that people around the world may have different opinions when it comes to languages.

I personally dislike Sundanese, Arabic, and Farsi

Seven sentences and the synopsis is packed to the brim with cliches.

Can't say I'm particularly interested.

It reminded a bit of the production of anime series, Darker than Black.
Well, you see, because of Hei's adventures alongside with the others.

Most of the Chinese anime are cliche storms like their Japanese counterparts. They have harem anime as well, however they aren't getting Japanese dubs, sad because I want to watch those and see how good (or bad) they are.

not only is it a manhua, but it's a webcomic as well? this just too awesome! finally, 2016 is the starting step to more webtoons/comic attention!!
this could definitely mean adaptations of more in the future! i am so freaking hyped.

looks like the anime industry is admitting it's niche bullcrap nowadays. when the second season of super lovers came out i bet they were like "....What the heck are we even doing anymore?"

here's a tip of the hat to its success! i hope it makes it!

Synopsis sounds generic, except Chinese zombies/jiangshi.
Character design looks pleasant tho.
Haoliners again, haven't finished Chu Feng but that looked ok.
At least will watch for Hayami, Hikasa & Toriumi.

I'm always in for zombies stories so why not. I just hope this will be better than Chu Feng BEE with enough episodes to give us a real plot and not something rushed and cliché.

tbh, I'm not excited for this one but I think it's great that the Chinese are producing more anime. If they someday make a Nirvana in Fire - anime version.... wohoooo that would be amazing. Or if they make an anime of Song of the Long March *-* one can only dream I guess..

Nope, you sound ridiculous when you:

(a) make a completely subjective statement and then claim "it's true"; and
(b) make a blatantly offensive statement and then absurdly say, "no offence."

You must be like, 10 years old or retarded. Done with you.
