Shuiyin touches the device that was left behind, pulling him inside the game and trapping him there. What is the imaginary world inside the device? What will Shuiyin find there? It is a world where two groups of people fight over the power of the gods, which originates from the tomb the mother goddess Pangu (Bango in Japanese). The two groups are the tomb raiders and the tomb protectors. The device Shuiyin received from Lian is called the Monolith, and it allows a normal gamer to go near the tomb. The tomb raiding group plans its attack by recruiting common people in the name of gaming. Shuiyin, as the final tomb protector, must fight against the raiders in order to save Lian.

| I hope this will be good, really not familiar with the studio though. |
 |
| Dunno how I should feel. Not excited, hope they adapt some well-known Manhwa's rather than Manhua's soon. |

| More low budget Chinese cartoons. |
 |
| need more info on the studio but i guess ill judge when we get a pv |
| Is this chinese SAO? |

| Manhua being adapted to anime huh? I guess I'll pass since it's on China. And 2017? I don't even know If I'm still alive that year. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| looks good, sounds like a Chinese Sword Art Online, uhmm... |
| the only similarity with SAO that i see is the trapped in a game aspect. Stark700 said: I hope this will be good, really not familiar with the studio though.

VanishingKira said: A bunch of no names in the staff not very promising... Just because they are not as well-known in the 2010s, it does not mean that they weren't well-known before. Their works are representative of anime of the 1990s and early 2000s. |
| Trap in a game...again. Why is it Chinese hiring the Japanese? Oh wait, Chinese cartoon. That explain a lot. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| manhwa adaptions are just around the corner....I can feel it! |

| chinese ? okay i will pass on this one :D |
 |
| Dem Chinese are breaking in in the industry hard, their Manhwa or Manhua however is called series will start to be adopted into anime more and more. Japanese need to step their game up before they get overrun. |
 |
| Chinese SAO... sure XD |

Unless they change publications to a Japanese magazine like noblese Yes please, don't know the difficult details but I sure hope they adapt/change publications for series like Tower of God, the Gamer, Breaker etc etc. They are always a fun read, though the names can be quite similarly confusing to learn. On the other hand, these Manhua's are usually boring stories about Kingdom and empire stuff. Not my cup of tea. |

| A stuck in an game anime coming from the studio that bought us the ecchi harem rip-off of Natsume's Book of Friends and a mecha-bee anime with a bullshit plot and dialogue more pretentious than The Perfect Insider... I see. I mean, I'm happy Chinese animation studios are breaking into the market but wow is this trashy or what. |
zetsu_shoren said: japanese chinese korean what's the difference all the shit they make look the same, just like themselves Filthy gajin shouldn't be talking. Nippon is superior in everything. |
 |
| I'll probably check it out for the character designs... if it's available with subs. |
| If this is the best Chinese thing they could find to adapt, then I don't think I'm interested in ready any of them. |
| Cool, I've long considered reading this, but now I can watch instead! :D |
starlessn1ght said: This is not an anime. Anime is animation created in Japan, not China. This doesnt belong here. Which part of "Japanese subsidiary Emon [...] will produce a TV anime" did you not read? |
SigOpram said: It has a manhua counterpart is called Silver Gravekeeper, just saying. In which part of "adapts [...] web manhua Yin Zhi Shou Mu Ren" is this not already made clear? |
| Still don't know what a Manhua is. |
| More trainwreck, no thank you. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| That's a revolutionary plot if I ever saw one. Seriously, not judging this before seeing it, but is creativity dead in Japan? |
 |
| Patiently waits for Tower of God to get an anime |

Manhwa is Korean. |
 Forum set made by my secret santa, Nate! |
Manhua = Chinese Manhwa = Korean It's really easy to confuse both of them. |
| With the anime market being strong in China, it's not surprising that they would start funding projects via Japanese studios. In addition to this title, we have Reikenzan this season and the upcoming Soul Buster in fall. Gin no Guardian is especially interesting because the studio was created by a Chinese company, instead of contracting an already-existing studio. However, I would imagine it keeps it easier to control any particular project. I would like manhwa, including Korean webtoons, to be animated, but I'm not sure that they have a strong enough foothold it Japan just yet. Or if the Korean audience for anime is as strong as China's audience. Time will tell. Web series at least seem to have gained some popularity, and there are some Japanese web comic services that use a similar format. SigOpram said: The 'Gravekeeper' part. Honestly, I'm not sure it's the same thing until I read the synopsis. Also, I can't read Chinese nor remember Chinese titles. Oh, I can explain this one. When the anime series was first discovered via the Anime Japan website, it was written as 銀の墓守り(ガーディアン). The kanji itself means gravekeeper, but the parenthesized katakana reads guardian in English. Thus, it serves a double meaning. I'm guessing it wasn't utilized or at least obvious in the Chinese title. |
| "OMG Chinese SAO!!" - Did you actually read the whole synopsis or stopped at the "trapped inside game" part? I'm not familiar with Manhwa or Manhua at all, so this is interesting I guess? Kinda having low expectations though for this one. |
| I'm feeling thank you |
| Hopefully this one will be more Nobunaga Concerto and less SAO/trapped in game world whatever, and focus on larger themes like warfare and the MC's personal battles with his arch-nemesis rather than some MMO jargons nonsense that i've gotten so tired about. |
| Sounds like it could be fun |
| ehhh.... the manga is funny. i don't get the hate. konosuba-like and it's already pretty good. but more serious theme. only read first chapter. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Wow, didn't expect this one to get an adaptation at all xD Well I've been following the manhua and I can say at the very least it should be decent, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the Raiders/Raider tools in action~ Maybe this'll help scanlations go faster? |
 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
| wow this is great! has noblesse green lit the idea of outside-country adaptions? i think so! the one manhua i would love to see adapted would be hero (you ling). dear gosh that book is so good... |
