That was then. Nowadays, Chinese anime looks like this: Basically, it's like Japanese anime except that everybody has noses.
This is the Chinese studio produced ink style animation, Fog Hill of the Five Elements is the use of ink style.
I really the concept of Batman of Shanghai... the fight scene is good and everything is nice, sadly it is not a series. Seeing xianxia in this form is good but I can only see Feng Shen Ji as a good for animation. Since most xianxia are kinda slow pace and repetitive. Well, I don't really know much since I can't finish reading xianxia.
Different styles then sure, you can't expect Every studio got the same style right? Heck, like I said, even JP studio like Deen or Ufotable with how Fate got animated are Different Styles. It isn't about Different Country styles, it's just Different Studio styles. And like I said before, if you want Good Xianxia Fighting Animation, then get those God-like JP studios known for their Fighting animation like Madhouse(generally, there styles are Good in Everything), or Ufotable(Unlimited Budget Works). They can make CN xianxia fighting animation Better than the one you shown now.
Japan is the sweatshop of animation and voice actors Most countries cannot afford to make quality anime for the same price as Japanese can It makes sense to Japanize anime and releases it through a Japanese studio. Given that most people pirate, spending a fortune in the name of art is stupid The OP video was even average quality in my book. People keep saying artists(writers, animators, etc) should do things for the sake of art but the same readers clamoring for artistic integrity do not spend a penny and use pirate sites Art is expensive, if people are not willing to pay for good art then they get Assembly Line quality art and are not allowed to complain By the way, many consumers of animation : majority on this site are quite dumb Since they do not understand that art is supposed to be unique Even in Japanese animation, they are anime that are different from the usual style seen in Naruto, Full Meta Alchemist etc One of the non-mainstream anime that left a lasting impression on me was this: The awesome opening song helped lol
It is a shame that House of Five Leaves only adapted half of the story since it wasn't popular enough for a second season.
