I would not have problem with these if it wasn't because of the fact that not many of them have been very good, which is problem for people that want good entertainment, but great for China, because they love their Spectacle and not much else, which is why the are going to be 12 more Transformers movies.

I really appreciate Justin recognizes China's effort of licensing new AND old shows in last few years, many of these websites, like Bilibili (Chinese version of niconico), Iqyi, Youku, PPTV etc, has been paying top dollars for their licensing wars.
But this spring's licensing war for China is absolutely savage. Many websites are willing to pay ridiculous amount of fees in order to get exclusive streaming rights. For example, Saekano Flat, which was acquired by Iqyi, they spend 5.7 times more compare to their competitors in order to get the rights (they released the info on the social media), many even wonder can they recover the investment. So, there is no secret of why there are so many Chinese co-productions consider this licensing bubble will burst sooner or later. The question is....when can they find a decent source material to adapt |

Neither it is a secret that recently the chinese government has made it harder for their citizens to invest abroad as part of their "anti-corruption crusade". Therefore I would not expect any big budget co-productions and a shift towards 100% chinese animated productions. Heck, it the upcong RoboMasters: TAS is delayed you can bet it is because they are having trouble getting the money to pay for production out of china.
I would beg to disagree. I can't think of one said co-productions that would cause an uproar if they were not made available for legal streaming (or were limited to only one service) on the west. Crunchyroll streaming them has more to do with Kun Gao pushing said productions than the market demanding them, at least I do not see Amazon or Netflix (or Funimation or Sentai last year) fighting over those.
When the chinese communist party releases its iron grip over local media writing so that really ineresating stories can start to be written. |

Isn't that article talking about investments? I'd assume that the amount that companies like tencent are spending are small enough they're not even on the Chinese government's radar. Otherwise the scope of what they're doing would be so large that you'd see it on the front page of every newspaper daily. |

As a student studying Chinese, really hoping for a good one on Crunchyroll one of these days.I suppose the fact that there's already plenty Japanese anime based on Chinese mythology and tales probably has something to do with it.

Is there a reason why Quan Zhi Gao Shou (The King's Avatar) doesn't have a japanese dub just like Bloodivores, Soul Buster and Hitori no Shita? Or they are completely different things?

Thanks for reminding me of how truly awful the Bloodivores logo looked.

I understand these co-prod are made with Chinese audience in mind, but they are still inferior in pretty much everything. How succesful are they in China? Do the Chinese actually think stuff like Bloodivores and The Outcast is good?

Is only a matter of time the Chinese anime bubble bursts.
After they have the knowledge, they will copy the method of making anime and they will drop Japanese anime and make their own anime like animation in China. Is no secret that Chinese and Japanese are not really on friendly terms. And the Chinese leaders will like to get way from Japan as fast as possible and have their own animation industry. And they will block anime titles they don't like, like these examples. Terror in Resonance Blood-C High school of the Dead Ergo Proxy Parasyte The Skull Man Another Inferno Cop Afro Samurai Tokyo Ghoul √A Sword Art Online II Tokyo ESP Tokyo Ravens Devil May Cry RIN - Daughters of Mnemosyne The Testament of Sister New Devil Attack on Titan Corpse Party Strike the Blood Death Note Deadman Wonderland Date A Live II Psycho-Pass Devilman Lady School Days Those Who Hunt Elves Elfen Lied High School DxD Samurai Bride So, I Can't Play H!

But I always thought you couldn't be able to watch anime in mainland China.

Certainly seems like a matter of time, but it's strange that despite doing a lot of contract work for both Americans and Japanese and having successful domestic manhwa and other potential sources for stories, South Korea domestic animation industry has been relatively unsuccessful in original productions. So you never know. |

South Korea is different from China because the animation industry is private and outside the influence of the government so the push for their own animation industry is not as big as in China, where the government is involved in everything. Having easy access to Japanese anime make harder to South Korea have their own successful industry. |

There was a Chinese-animated show on Crunchyroll last season - Spiritpact. I will confess that I dropped it after the first episode.

With those Chinese animations, either they are really bad or they might be interesting, but you know something is missing from them.
