No... just because it is a Chinese show doesn't necessarily mean anime fans will hate said show. Genshin Impact is created by a Chinese company and had English and Japanese dubs. The game became a massive success and is enjoyed by many people worldwide.

This is proof that Chinese entertainment can be popular among the weeb communities. Chinese animated shows just need English and/or Japanese dubs.

It sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself more than anybody else.

The people that say it'll never happen... yeah, you're not gonna convince them.
The people that have watched and enjoyed some, probably already have some thoughts along the same line as you. So technically you aren't convincing them either.
Then there's the people that just aren't interested in Chinese anime.
The reasons don't really matter, that's their choice. They won't care either way, so once again, you aren't convincing them.
That just leaves you.

The Chinese equivalence of anime has the potential to become as popular as anime, sure, but if it does or not, on a larger scale than just one title, remains to be seen.


Oh hey bro, you are right. I am sorry for doubting you because you have impeccable logic. After thinking about it a bit more, I think if Link Click and MDZS gets an English or Japanese dub and was marketed to a wider audience, it has the potential to be very popular.

Disclaimer, I have never played Genshin Impact nor have I watched Link Click and MDZS.
I like dub more than sub because I am not a weeb.

No worries. It happens. I won't hold a grudge over it.
You're never too old to watch anime.
If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead.

I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime.

Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language.

i honestly don't care about "national identity." when it comes to shows and games i watch and play.

Honkai impact is interesting because it's story is well done the gameplay is fun and the characters are given a depth i enjoy. who cares where it come from if it's enjoyable?

if anything it's more weird to say "oh i only watch it because it was made in x country."
why does that even matter?
It only means that you superficial omnivorous consumer.

Dang, that's a shame. Well, I guess it makes sense since you're living in India. I shall treat you to an all-American breakfast with alligator steak, lamb sausage, rabbit ham, and ostrich egg. Please learn to teleport.


Oh thanks. I will definitely come after I learn about that teleportation technique from my friend Goku.


I'll be waiting for you! We have very large portions in America. You can even get an entire spit-roasted deer for just $7.99.

I Have 3 reasons:
1. My computer can only handle low-specs games like Among Us and osu, and Genshin is too big and perhaps can break my computer
2. I do have a mobile device, but it’s 7 and a half years old
3. Slow internet, if I atleast downloaded Genshin, it would perhaps take a fucking day to even finish downloading

Imagine if Genshin got an anime adaption and it got #1 on MAL. I wonder how the community would react.


And now, we're getting an adaptation from ufotable. Big day today for gambling addicts.

To my knowledge, this is anime, not donghua. So it is anime with Chinese origin, but this would be like saying the Three Kingdoms anime is a Chinese Anime, despite being entirely produced in Japan by Ufotable.

If it was done by Nice Boat Animation, MTJJ, Samsara Studio, or was funded by Bilibili, Tencent Penguin, et al. then I would say otherwise, but outside of Scissor Seven, Heaven's Official Blessing and Link Click, nothing from China has been massively popular.

Mo Dao Zu Shi is by the same creator as Heaven Official's Blessing and is more popular. There's also The King's Avatar (which is more popular than Link Click if you go by members that have it in their lists), The Daily Life of the Immortal King, etc.

Good point, missed these. I wish a lot more was really popular, though.

I have no interest in Chinese cartoons or donghua and I don't play Genshin Impact. Not very surprising that Chinese people can't come up very influential, original works.

I'll stick to real anime like The Witch From Mercury. Chinese animation studios will never be on par with Sunrise or even Bee Train.

Besides, most video game adaptations suck, like the Netflix Resident Evil that was like "Oh! Let's come up with a Mary Sue Carol Danvers type character of our own". Making Hollywood bend over and lose value at the stock market.

Yeah, but like... other people do... am I right? Just going by the general public. Honestly, I don't know how popular Genshin Impact is, but I have seen a lot of people on Twitch play the game.


No we don't have any interest in Chinese /Korean animation or that dumb game..

I'd say the player base is quite average in terms of toxicity lol. But the haters, especially china genshin haters are really something else. People jumping on the hate bandwagon without ever playing this game, or knowing half of what this game's about.

Actually chinese anime were always good, were good and will improve, whether "Genshin" was popular or not. In terms of popularity, I think only narrow minded purists, still refuse to acknowledge that chinese anime are legitimately worth getting hyped over.
I understand hate towards US animation, don't agree with it, but I do understand it. I mean some Netflix sponsored shows were genuinely awkward. Just as some chinese shows seem weirdly childish. But despite either of those points, both have proven that they have potential.

You though, must really enjoy playing "Genshin Impact".

Genshin is kind of in the same boat as the Fate series or Apply products. People will fawn over them, rate them highly, and purchase them due to title or brand name alone.
I wouldn't say that a lot of Chinese animations are looked over because they're of Chinese make, but rather due to their quality, or lack of community exposure.
