| The future is here. Chinese cartoons enter Japan. Lel |
| Why always a girl save a boy ? What is the reason behind this ?!! |
| *still waiting for 1/2 Prince adaptaton* |
| Will it have a jap dub? Mandarin is an ugly fucking language -no offence chinabrahs but it's true. |
 |
| >Chinese cartoons ITS A REALITY |
BlueBalls said: The cast listed above is all Japanese, same as it was for Reikenzan. It is being shown on TV Tokyo in Japanese.Will it have a jap dub? Mandarin is an ugly fucking language -no offence chinabrahs but it's true. |
| *Cue Pink Floyd's The Wall* Anyway, great news. Hopefully it gets more attention than Reikenzan |
 |
| Really looking forward to watching this it sounds really good. Hope someone will give it a English sub though. |
| Interesting,I hope we can watch it Read the synopsis again...the girl gets saved by the guy. |
| 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. |
 |
| Hope they change the names, Chinese and Korean ones are always so bad. |
 |
| 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 don't get it so is this a zombie anime or a superpower anime. I like both but focus on one thing. |
The cast list says yes. |
 |
| Ashirogi Muto at the photography ?_? |
 “Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.” — RAINER-MARIA Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet (letter dated April 23, 1903). |

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 |

| THE MEME IS REAL!!! |
 |
| I don't know how to feel about the synopsis. A lot of things can go wrong, lol. |
| 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. |
Red_Keys said: Seven sentences and the synopsis is packed to the brim with cliches. Can't say I'm particularly interested. 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! |
 |
| 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. |
| Sounds interesting. Chinese-Japanese Animation? watashi kininarimasu |
 |
| 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.. |
| wasn't it possible to change the names into something more tuneful? Xu Baobao, Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, ....horrible |

BlueBalls said: Mandarin sounds ridiculous and you are a pathetic specimen that gets sore in the rectum area from reading text on the internet kys pls. 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. |
