| Announcement PV that was revealed three years ago (that's why I felt weird that it was never announced when I saw this news even though I've seen the title): Also: tsubasalover said: Probably Youku or Tudou, as it is listed for collaboration with producing the TV anime with Japan team, but not sure which one.be available on Chinese streaming sites. PressConferenceArticle said: 今秋、中国の動画配信大手 Youku Tudouと日本のアニメ制作会社・スタジオぴえろによる日中共同制作でアニメ化され、2016秋より1話10分で、日本にてテレビ地上波放送、中国にてネット配信による同時公開が予定されている。 Press Conference Article |

| The most recent PV is perhaps more appropriate to post, as opposed to an outdated teaser. I believe the director has been misspelled. It's Odahiro Watanabe and not Yasuhiro Watanabe. Also, "Director of Photography" is perhaps a better term to use than "Film Director," for which Shigeteru Asakawa should be credited. Lastly, shouldn't it be 15 minutes per episode, seeing that the Tokyo MX run-time is 18:30 JST to 18:45 JST? |

| Hmm, I barely know about Chinese manhua. The first Chinese adapt that I watch is Hitori no Shita that currently airing. And it's kinda weird when I heard their names. But I'll try it when this got aired in fall cause I like anime. be it Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Indonesian I'll watch all of it! Cause I like anime. |

Vindstot said: Lastly, shouldn't it be 15 minutes per episode, seeing that the Tokyo MX run-time is 18:30 JST to 18:45 JST? This press conference article says 10 minutes per episode. I'm guessing that the 15 minutes timeslot includes commercial. As for PV, I didn't know there's newer PV released (only found that teaser PV while searching with the Chinese title). That's why I didn't include any PV in the initial post. Other than that, I've fixed the staff list. |

| Gotta wait till they start adapting the good stuff and production value is higher. Only a matter of time before Korean Manhwa/Webtoons are adapted. |

Korean Manhwa is more likely to get dramas (Most recently, Cheese in the Trap) About the news, i will wait too. Need more info. The sinopse is about time travel, the pv is like a mix between the fate series with Yu-gi-oh. yh true but I don't think anyone expected Chinese Manhua's to get adapted so I got my hopes up for Korean ones. I just wish the production was higher and they chose better manhua's to adapt coz I see generic crap in that PV. MC too. |

| Well, there's already this series, so I guess we're bound to see more in the future. |
| Namikawa Daisuke and Toyonaga Toshiyuki are enough for me to want to watch this xD But with a cast this big and 10 minute episodes, don't think Ill be hearing them as much. |
| Looks ok I guess, too bad its a short. |
 |
| I'll only watch it if they cross some motherf*cking streams. |
 |
| It's time to Du....Du. Du.Du. Duel!! My only wish is they should changed it to more Japanese friendly name, since they speaking in Japanese afterall. otherwise the pronunciation is just going to sound weird... |

| Will Chinese toons become the new cancer? Or will Zipang idol back? Watch the next episode to find out! |

These names are perfectly pronouncable for Japanese people, especially for professional seiyuu. This isn´t Hollywood, for fucks sake |

They are "professional seiyuu" in Japanese only, most of them can't pronounce proper English words. Personally, some of the chinese name just doesn't sound good in Japanese . Whether or not they're professional has nothing to do with it. |

These names should not be difficult to pronounce. Thy´re pretty much just one hiragana syllable each. Nothing complicated And I was referring to hollywood, since changing characters names and backgrounds is what they usually do when they´re not white, latino or black |
| It's okay to smirk |
| Commence the chinese cartoon jokes. |
 |
| Don't think this sounds or looks to bad tbh I have been watching a lot more Chinese anime lately and been enjoying them so I will give this one a try as well |
daAmazinFatB0y said: Gotta wait till they start adapting the good stuff and production value is higher. Only a matter of time before Korean Manhwa/Webtoons are adapted. yes! basically this. Vinci_Faisal said: Korean Manhwa is more likely to get dramas (Most recently, Cheese in the Trap) that's in korea. we're in a completely different country, with a dimensionally different culture. ------ i am SO excited. the show itself doesn't look interesting i must admit, but this is the third announcement so far of a chinese anime adaptation! and with the most recent announcement of yet ANOTHER LINE PRODUCT (so hyped!!!!), it looks like japan is finally reaching overseas. and i must say this is the most perfect time for this to happen. i really hope chinese authors such as buddy will get attention, she's really popular in asia and the UK. and we can only look foward in future years for even more korea/chinese adaptations. it's only a matter of time until MAL will have to change their guidelines eventually! it's now official. it's not only the fans who are bored with the same old japanese stories anymore... i am so ready for the korea/chinese wave. it's been a (very) long time coming. |

Vinci_Faisal said: Yes. You're right, but is more likely you get adaptations in your home country. But you too have some examples as Kurokami and Freezing of the master Im Dal Young made into animes. But, let's wait for the future. no i wasn't denying the fact that most are made into TV shows (in fact i remember watching a doc about how around 60-70% are made into them), i was just saying that doesn't have to be the case for japan. but yeah, so hyped for future years, can't wait for korea/china to get some credit for some awesome work. |

| Anime is the only place I can escape China and now they're invading anime industry... I've got no where to go soon. |

| Wow another chinese animated series. Is this a sign? |
