Imo the Cultural Revolution only damaged the animation industry, but it was the introduction of anime and free market system that killed it. You can still see some nice animation released after the CR, like Nezha and shan shui qing. The Chinese animation before was definitely beautiful but with terribly high cost that have to be funded by the government, so the industry was easily crushed down when Japanese anime (how can you compete with a lower cost and higher productivity opponent?) came to compete and the government stopped funding the production. After that Chinese animation went on to reform and learn from others, and produced the donghua we see today.

@Raida Жыл бұрын

On your point of the 3 Big Tokusatsu, as a Malaysian, I think this is a difficult question to answer. Growing up in the 90s to early 2000s, Ultraman was undoubtedly the king, but in recent years, I'd say that Kamen Rider either rivals or surpasses it. Living in Japan though, I'd say this is not too dissimilar from Japan as just comparing the original Ultraman series and original Kamen Rider series shows that Japanese fans responded MUCH more strongly to the former than the latter. The issue is that in the mid-2000s, Ultraman didn't have a major network presence and didn't start regularly airing new Ultra Heroes until the mid-2010s. Meanwhile, Kamen Rider really started to revolutionise itself from the 2000s, and with the competition essentially taking itself off the board, this gave Kamen Rider free reign to be THE favorite Tokusatsu of many Japanese people.

@Raida Жыл бұрын

Btw, given how your video later goes into the popularity of Danmei, I think that has its own weird reflection in Kamen Rider from the 2000s too, as it started to employ VERY good-looking actors to portray characters who had very intense love/hate relationships with other characters portrayed by very good-looking actors. Nothing explicit is ever shown, but it was a huge thing back in the early 2000s that a lot of young mothers were VERY interested in Kamen Rider because of this practice.

Even my artist friends can get a lot of money from selling characters with BL ships (they are not paired in one merch or showed too sexually to be not too obvious, so they usually sold both characters separately so they can sell 2 goods at once and circumvent the censorship) in conventions daily even when they don't sell an openly BL stuff (edit: cause in Indonesia LGBT and pornography is also banned and censored due to religion). Those stuffs are popular as fuck everywhere. As a yuridanshi I can only hope the yuri genre is as popular as yaoi is... Thankfully this year there are many big yuri titles adapted into anime! I can see the light of hope when the yuri community is budding up and starting to rise into a golden age!

Like how most of danmei novels that got licensed in the West, the fans already read translated version online now it got printed and introduce into bigger market.

China is probably the next great nation of pop culture. In China pop culture is also a resistance force against Xi power. Soul Land is the greatest franchise in China. And the villain organisation, the martial Soul Hall is a mean to criticize the imperialism of CPC. The villainess Bibi Dong is a female vesrsion of Mao. In drama i've seen bureaucracy criticism, totalitarism criticism, transposition of Tibet occupation in the fantasy world and recently a denonciation of ethnic repression. Pop Culture has permetted to open mind of the young generation and it's an element to open road to democracy.

Under the revolutionnary era, chinese pop culture was dead in mainland but survived in Hong Kong and Taïwan. HK and Taïwan have saved chinese culture and not only pop culture. Wuxia litterature, cinema and manhua have had a live in Hong Kong and Taïwan before their return in China in the beginning of the 90's.

It was probably Power Rangers in Taiwan as well... at least in my generation (born in the 80s)

I'm really curious: I cannot place your accent. It sounds almost Cantonese, but I don't know of an East Asian language that has a rolled/trilled 'r' sound. What is your first language?!

10:50 "Boy do these companies know how to make money!" As somebody who spent more than I care to admit on MICA Team's "Girls Frontline" mobile game... yeah, this is true.

It belongs to the "moe anthropomorphized weapons" gene, popularized by Japanese game Kantai (Fleet) Collection. However its monetizing model is upgraded to meet the demand of players outside Japan.

@UCvsvU28N-iZifWILsb952kQ they are not targeting fujis. Luxiem also not targeting fujis by design but it happens over time, they stumble upon a gold mine and they learn and adapt and now they overtake Hololive in global revenue. It a happy accident that anycolour never predict. They never predict anything but 2022 is a great year for them. I dont know about 2023 but seeing their newest members are pure blood Japanese/Chinese/Korean I know where they are heading to and hope they can find success.

as a long time anime fans, manhua from time to time are getting good. nowadays, many esekai are trash. back then, my lists is full of JP anime and hardly of CN. but now, my lists were dominated by local anime

The term "manhwa" is a name that Koreans gave to Japanese manga after stealing it. By using that name, Koreans are spreading the lie that "manga is an original Korean product." No one in the world uses that name except Koreans.

I don't really like anime or Manga (my nephew loves it. He even learned Chinese). but I have the boxed set of Kimba (I was a child of the 60s). Also liked Astro Boy and I have a Gigantor doll on my desk. But I don't like anime (I . . . . think???!!!) I remember Prince Planet and, of course, Marine Boy. And, as an Australian child, I loved the Ninjas and The Samurai. Not anime but still. Heeeyyy! Did you just call me old??? I resemble that remark. P.S. I also have a Gojira doll. Full scale. It goes through my roof and the tail is in my garage. I didn't think I'd find this topic interesting but I did.
