    Chinese webnovels often have loli characters, often times they are members of the harem. It is not an exclusively Japanese phenomenon.

    This is not to say that your point isn't valid, but in a thread talking about if Chinese animation and stories would be better, it isn't a good argument for Chinese animation.

    Exactly. Cooperation is still limited.

    Plus you know, the Chinese still are pretty antagonistic to the Japanese, so cooperation is still hard. Even if we're just talking about industry and business, but gets hard when the government is watching your back.

    I thought The King's avatar animation was pretty solid with the fight scene. Besides the obvious mcDonald product, i see no problem.
    K-drama story is an improvement? Wuuut

    Have you seen Chinese anime? Their quality is improving but they still have a long way to go

    It truly depends on Tencent honestly, if they focus on that department like how they focus on their behemoth games, then no doubt they can compete against Japan. But there's a big improvement in Japanese studios, they are now doing a lot of experiments and they are adapting to the new system, so taking over isn't gonna happen as of now.

    Yeah, all we hope is just a better diversity of theme and the overall improvization of animation, but China itself with its current massive growth in every sectors should already aware of what anime and the pop culture can offer...

    Fight scene is okayish, but the reused scene leave pretty bad taste imo (people can argue that skill in game is basically the same, but actually you can just change the perspective to make it different right?)

    That's why I consider a cooperation between Chinese theme and Japanese studio to collaborate producing anime~
    Oh yeah, I remember that Chinese game is currently expanding and dominating the Japanese market like Azur Lane, Honkai Impact 3 and the others. I mean, they can produce game in that level while their running animation tend to be a grade lower and feels like lagging a step behind..

    I don't know about anime being stale. As far as I know, animation studios in Japan produce so much animations that they covered almost for every range of ages. Kids, Teens (shounen&shoujo), and Adults (seinen&josei). Not to mention that not every anime is "subbed" for "consumption". If you feel that a certain anime have too much fanservice, maybe you aren't the target audience.

    Well, I can be wrong about that since I don't really know the exact situation about japanese animations' current situation.

    That's because being the pervert we are, porn stories will always sell well and flood the market.

    Before the massive pornwha wave, korean webtoon are popular for stuff like Tower of God(adventure, fantasy), Girls of the Wild (school life, harem, martial arts), Cheese in the Trap (josei, slice of life), SID (detective, supernatural) and bastard (thriller)

    Most korean manhwa are distributed via their own app (webtoon, lezhin) and handed copyright notice often, so that's probably why you never read these title before.

    That is the classification, but the revolving theme is currently feels a bit repetitive. You can easily find Isekai theme in every season but even the Isekai is mostly just another copy paste with only a bit of difference in flavor.

    I remember reading Earth Mage and some similar stuff about Apocalypse or a sudden gate phenomena. Korean strong theme is gaming

    Aside from the best ones, I feel that Koreans have better chances than china when it comes to competition, they have a good number of mainstream manwhas and novels that are far better than the japanese mainstream, but with a different problem with china, most korean animators works for japanese studios.

    They simply can I guess.
    I remember when I dropped anime my reason was a freaking tsunami of ECCHI fanservice in almost every anime. Around the time Infinity Stratos was released. I guess Isekai is the new Ecchi.

    NO, AS A BIG NO.
    Alright gather around and listen to a simple fact. China has no anime, and so they have a lot of cool source material that many of you are not aware off that can be turned into anime. Japan is by far still better than China in regards to animation and voice actors. Story wise, not so much because there are authors everywhere . Imagine if J. R. R. Tolkien had full authority on a anime based on his work.

    Because there's an audience in japan for that, maybe. I don't know man. I can only speculate, though I don't have any basis for my speculation.

    That's why I said the Japan studio can take the production but with Chinese theme like cultivation, yaoi or etc. They can also take a radical approach by using Japanese VA so people opinion be like "Holy shit, what is this breath of fresh air?"

    It's doubtful, considering the acting quality of some Chinese anime. The animation is pretty good, but the voice acting sometimes sounds rather fake or overly animated.

    Honkai is draining my wallet.

    The recent animated scenes were like.. o.. wow.. +_+ They were pushing Cyberangel: ZERO so hard, I saw it in anime expo and crunchyroll expo.

    But isn't this the case with american and JP games as well? Their animation have been a step ahead over cartoon and anime.
