Anime is Japan and Japan only! It doesn't mean Anime is a shorten word for animation but the Anime itself are branded of animation made in Japan! These chinese trolls hyping to take over animation is so desperate and shameless behavior, after hitching ride to anime's success they're claiming to takeover anime and their garbage LOTM will be anime of the year.. You wish you can't even beat manhwa SL and you wishing to takeover anime? These chinese have thick faces really after the hard work of Japan to make anime industry huge, now you riding with it while ruining their reputation! Chinese brags that their is chinese people behind anime series.. Well lets state that is true but it doesn't mean you can take the credits.. This might hurt but china needs work that's why they're being accepted and behind that they're even plotting something in the future and that's what's happening now. They brag and claim the credits…
Lmao no. Chinese have zero creativity. It was crushed out of them during the cultural revolution
Take over, maybe not. But probably will exist alongside anime. I'd say, due to Trump situation, somehow Chinese entertainment industry really want to sell to international market to gain more soft power. This also push Japanese entertainment industry to amp their quality. Hollywood need to be aware.
Yes they alredy win this year !
EVERY.SINGLE.EXAMPLE in this VIdeo is weird TRASH that no body watches. Thas NOT chinese anime. Chinese donghua is things like Xian Ni (renegade immortal) Doupo qingcong (battle throug hthe heavens) Fan Ren (a mortals journey through immortality), shrouding the heavens, Lord of the mysteries or even Renegade immortals.
you just cannot underestimate a country with 1.4 billion people…China can win from sheer quantity
China = no unions…or human rights, for that matter. They could flood the market quite easily. Nothing against the people of China, mind you.
It shouldn’t be a competition imo. Donghua and anime are unique in their own way . Donghua IS getting really popular but it’ll take a while to get on the same level as the Japanese industry but I believe one day it will also have a strong footing in the animation world
More competition is always welcome. As long as the story is good and the animation is well done I don't care where it's from
I prefer Japanese animation (anime), I don't like Chinese animation because It looks like copy art styles
10:05 heh
I hope Chinese anime gets way bigger. Japanese anime is getting boring because the storytelling is starting to repeat itself
Ain’t happening, Japan’s just too goated lol
> anime
> look inside
> overwhelmingly 3dcgs
中華アニメが成功して嬉しいよ🎉今度はハリウッドも超えてくれ。君らならできるよ🎉
usa wants CONFLICT
China wants HARMONY
To Be Hero X is so good. It blew me away 😂 wasn’t thinking it would be that great but I gave it a chance
Chinese here: censorship isnt a fallback for trash directors and scriptwriters. Cough cough cough Fox Spirit Matchmaker Live Action. Like you don't need freedom to KEEP the "one big happily ever after" in the original novel and put it in the live action

China can not take over the anime industry as Anime is specifically "Japanese Animations". Chinese anime/animations (Not sure they call it anime) also exist. One movie success does not muddy or cloud another country's? I don't understand the point of this video, im sorry.
Image Comics Spawn and Invincible>>>>>>Lol Chinese animation and Korean animation
I doubt China could ever take over anime due to the crazy censorship laws
I think the title is misleading (may be intentionally so). I don't think the Chinese are taking over nor are they trying to take over. They just want to have their own properties, and most importantly, forge their own sense of aesthetics and stories rather than following after Pixar or anime. And in the last 10 years, they made a lot of that, some even world class. The reasons Americans don't know sht about it is 1) we are a bunch of racist f,'s where all things China is bad, and you bring up anything good then you're a either a spy, they stole the IP, or made in a Uyghur concentration camps employing underage children, and 2) China SUCKS at soft power…or they justy don't give AF about export their work, at least not right now. Nezha 2 was big enough to catch some notice in the West, but there are way more and better animation out there, now and in the future (at least for Chinese audience… the West will never appreciate what makes a movie like 30,000 Miles from Chang'an (长安三万里) great since we lack the classical knowledge of the poet Li Bai and the history of Tang Dynasty to enjoy it. Then again even if we have, we Americans are happiest when we stew in our own ignorance. We are a nation of Karens
China sucks. Communist propaganda cartoons
In your dream, lmao
China has a LOT of people so that's where all that cash be coming from
Anime tropes are getting repetitive, and not to mention that a lot of people are not really comfortable about the portrayal and maybe "sexualization" of minors.
Donghua really offers a different flow and narrative perspective that feels fresh for an average anime watcher.
Give it a bit more of time to the donghua industry and we will see it mature super fast.
This year alone we got first Hero X and All devouring whale, and later this year we will have Lord of Mysteries and False Memories.
This year must be the turning point for the donghua industry.
that ranma 1/2 intro with akane and shampoo as Japan and China with ranma as the anime industry as a whole is perfect for this subject hahaha
Hope so
Link Click is so good
Probably not due to culture, but if china wanted to they could actually be a serious competitor to hollywoods animation industry and make animations for the global world
Aot ≫ all chi*n chon* ccp brainwashing anime 😂
This was quite an informative video !
But my two cents on this question is : *No, there is no shot that China will ever overtake the Anime Industry*, or heck, any animation industry for that matter
Call me pessimistic but there is a substantial amount of things holding China back from flourishing in the animation industry, I'll give a rundown of the main reasons why that is :
1. The Chinese Animation Industry isn't focused on producing original content, it is focused in taking in workloads from studios that outsource their work to China. But when original work is produced, they mostly cater to a Chinese audience and don't market it abroad nor do they make English dubs for them or license their shows on streaming platforms like Netflix or Hulu, therefore cutting their global reach short
2. Original Chinese stories themselves *just aren't good*, Chinese Light Novels, Manhua, Cultivation Novels, Xianxia, Baihe and the infamous Danmei all have a multitude of niche tropes and storylines that only appeals to a mainland China audience but would weird out anyone outside of China. Those Light Novels / Manhua often feature gratuitous and excessive violence, problematic themes that are very rarely handled tastefully, an extremely high frequency of recycled plotlines or story beats, an overcomplicated storyline that bogs its own plot and pacing down by making up long-winded backstories for the most minor of side-characters, exhaustingly extensive family trees, overtly complicated power system, badly written romance that doesn't feel the least bit genuine and inconsistent worldbuilding that often breaks its own rules whenever the author wants the story to progress while disregarding established rules / groundworks. And as other users have pointed out in the comments below, its not like the Chinese audience themselves demand higher-quality stories than this.
3. The elephant in the room, the CCP itself, which has a paralyzing grip on its own media. The State Censorship seriously hinders the ability of Chinese directors and authors to write their own original stories and take risks. The State also has control over cultural promotion and chooses what to promote and what to not promote to an international audience. At the same time though, as the comments below have pointed out again, there is a sentiment amongst Chinese people that their culture is somehow a shameful thing to be proud of or show, especially to foreigners. I mean if you look at Gacha games like Honkai Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero or Wuthering Waves, *they have MINIMAL traces of Chinese culture in them*, Wuthering Waves doesn't even feature a Chinese New Year event. hell I mean their style is EXTREMELY anime-inspired, its like they were afraid to show any semblance of a " Chinese Style ". Infinity Nikki seems to be the outlier in this but then again the entire game takes very heavy influence from European architecture, culture and clothing.
So yeah, unless the Chinese Animation industry focuses on making high-quality original content and licensing them to a streaming platform like Netflix, and the CCP doesn't get in their way, I don't think they're ever going to beat Anime anytime soon, or any animation industry.
And side-note, there is a substantial amount of evidence that the Ne-Zha 2 Box Office numbers were faked, look it up in YouTube.
No . Anyways
I personally can't get used to the language but given time, maybe. I've watched too much anime and been conditioned.
Evil CHINA tries to Take Over the Anime Industry for few years now , the same way that wants to Take Over the world!
Good Thing Chinese Economy is in decline since 2019 and with Trump Tariffs the world can wake up and stand up to CHINA before it's too late for Humanity 🤔🤔
as long as ccp exist never gonna happen
It's unfair to because the government continues to give tax exceptions and give them loans and stuff
Now you no there's some CCP at work to make the movie so big
Na Zha is not popular its state funded propaganda thats what you get in totalitarian regime just lies
