Donghua industry is just experimental and not even important. With a population of 2 billion most chinese entertainment producers will focus on home market/demographic AKA 3d wuxia.

Anime industry quality IS on a decline IMO, they’re adapting the leftover scum at the bottom of shonen mags nowadays like Gachiakuta and other nonsense.

>>280067061
You aren't missing anything. It's not good.

Lord of mysteries has one of the worst 1st episodes of anything ever in terms of story and it doesnt get better with ep 2

So, i checked the trailer to see if there was any possibility of truth to this claim and boy the images here are cherry picking of the highest order. Not even the most old anime analfag cherrypicks this well, so yeah, congratulations on that.

The amount of PS2 tier CGI in the trailer alone is staggering and don´t even get me started on the weightless animations and the abuse of what i can only suppose is motion flow to alter between quick motion and slow motion is disgusting.

I sincerely believe that anyone who PREFERS the doom scroll format to have some type of mental impediment. Kinda like how infants or some animals lack object permanence. Or people that are unable to visualize a scene in their head when reading words.
They need individual panels and word bubbles to be fed to directly to them sequentially.
I'm sure that format has it's strength outside of just being convenient on phones, but I have yet to see an example of one.

When you watch a mystery series and it's rushing so fast you can't differentiate between what you aren't supposed to know and what they skipped you're going to run into problems. Ironically, this feels very lore appropriate.

>>280068543
So... this?

How come Ravages of Time fanbase is the only friendly and non seething Chinese fanbase in this board? I don't count Puppetbros as Chinese fanbase because they mostly talk about Urobuchi written Puppet show and barely talk about OG Pili or Jingguang

i find it funny that i had to read a comment about how the circus people and the tarot scene are not supposed to be NPC shit and they are somewhat important to the MC and plot but it was so rushed and nonsensical literally no anime-only viewer will even remember that whole sequence even happened.

>>280074280
Trust the plan

On the one hand maybe, on the other hand AI is coming so it doesn't really matter.

Japan will become a Chinese island.

The final redpill is that anime is an entry level medium and will be shit (varying degrees of shit of course) regardless of how slanted the eyes of the one making it are.
If you actually look at source material then japanese, chink and gook novels are pretty even. The best isekai novel is little tyrant and that's chinese, the best pure fantasy novel is omniscient first person's viewpoint and that's gook. Derivative media are always gonna suck, the source material is the ultimate answer.

Actually pretty wild that they keep adapting Condor Heroes every few years yet they didn't bother with animating it. It's like they learned nothing from Hong Kong cinema.

The shills are those going against LotM. You can tell easily by the fact that those who defend the donghua are organic in that they say different things and talk about things from different angles as well, meanwhile those who talk badly about LotM seem to have a unified narrative and seem obsessed with trying to portray a very specific negative image and go nuclear whenever anything goes against it, even things that would be frankly more damaging about LotM to say, they'll still try to shut such points down because it's not the specific narrative they are supposed to create. That's the most obvious tell to identify a group of shills.

You can summarize the "narrative" they try to create as follows:
>Leonard MUST be teleporting and this MUST be proof for a plothole at the finale, any other conclusion is UNACCEPTABLE
>Leonard's physical abilities MUST be baseless and non-canon, any discussion about the Sleepless Sequence 9 ability "Nocturnality" that strengthens physical ability MUST be diverted from and dismissed
>Audrey's single bad-looking in-movement frame MUST be spammed and referenced ad infinitum
>3D backgrounds and such MUST be dismissed as being "AI slop"
>Attention MUST be directed to one random chink board that supposedly represents all chinks hating the donghua
>The pacing MUST be made fun of constantly in order to lure in novel purists to complain about "skipped content" and divert any discussion that the donghua might be reordering things and show them later or such

That's more or less it... for now.

smells like bullshit, chinese are very good at crafting a detailed fake impressions for cultural gain, amplifying them online like drones and a midwit westerner will swallow it whole. It's hard to form an accurate picture of china, because it's almost all either mindless hate or pro-china propaganda. Maybe I'll try to watch it and see for myself.

>>280088529
>those who talk badly about LotM seem to have a unified narrative and seem obsessed with trying to portray a very specific negative image
Because it is bad in a specific way. The narrative exists, because it is true. You wouldn't complain about people saying the CCP murdered thousands of protestors on Tiananment Square on June 4th, 1989, because that's just what happened. The same applies here, this garbage is just bad in a very clearcut way.

>>280066700 (OP)
Korea is the real competitor. Chinkua can't succeed outside their containment threads.

>>280100302
Normally it would be hard to tell, but the thing is we KNOW how the chinks shill things. Back when the novel for LotM got released, in the isekai threads there were chink shills prawling about ""subtly"" promoting the novel with ready-made official images, gushing about how amazing or ""kino"" this or that scene is.
That's how positive shilling works. You just drown out any negative comments by endlessly praising things. If you had been around on /a/ lately you might have seen the shilling for the cyber-punk spin-off, for that sucide-squad isekai spin-off, and obviously for gook leveling.
You can't find any of that here. Infact you might have noticed the complete lack of "regular" marketing beyond some posts on X. Even the "business partners" like Crunchyroll aren't promoting it in the slightest.

Negative shilling is a bit of a different beast though. Just calling something bad without engaging on the issue would just give the impression of being obsessed and having the work in question "live rent free in their minds" which for many is an indicator that it's actually good, similar to how people start liking things if some ""ecelebs"" start hating on it excessively.
So the anti-shilling here is an attempt to make it work. It seemed to work at first, but now it created the situation where people are "passionately arguing back and forth" about it, giving the impression that it's "worth giving a damn about". That's as expected. As they say, there is no such thing as "bad publicity".

>>280100375
What's this now? Do you try to use trigger words in case you were arguing with imaginary bots running deep-seek or that the imaginary shills have some kind of "taboo" restriction in that they must not engage any discussion talking about the Tianmen Square protests or comments referring to Taiwan as an "independent sovereign nation state"? Well there you go, I just did these ""impossible"" things.
And just like how your chink-shill-narrative fell apart, so does your narrative about LotM.

>>280101679
No, I just used it, because I thought it was funny and also because I knew it would make you ignore the actual point I made.

>>280101779
>ignore the actual point I made
You didn't. You merely doubled down on the your stance that "it's true" that it is supposedly "bad in a specific way". You are getting even sloppier than you were up until now already, anon.

>>280101983
I'll break it down for you in simple English, because you don't know English very well, chinky boy:
You discount all legitimate criticism of this chinese trash as "shilling", because the criticism is the same across many different users. My counterargument is that the criticism is valid and many different users have seen the same problems.

>>280068266
ancient china, yet all the characters look white?

>>280101679
>imaginary bots
4chan bots isn't even a new thing. o_O

>>280102055
No, I was just stating an observable fact with the unfied narrative. Whether the contents are true or not are an entirely separate matter.

I am saying we don't know what exactly Leonard used (other than that it's not instantaneous blinking) and the donghua might or might not address it in future episodes or those small lore videos that get released now as well. You on the other hand insist that it's specifically "teleporting" and that "it will create a plothole at the end of the arc because Leonard suddenly doesn't teleport" and nothing else even comes into consideration.
I am saying that Seq 9 Sleepless "Nocturnality" might explain Leonard's physical power since we don't know the specific restrictions about "night time" to it as the novel never explained them in detail. You insist on "LALALA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, NIGHT POETS HAVE NO PHYSICAL STRENGTHENING WHATSOEVER, LALALA!"
The ""criticism"" against Audrey's design is a complete and utter joke that shouldn't even be taken seriously.
Ditto with 3D backgrounds.
Ditto with selective posts from one random chink board being representative for millions of chinks.
The pacing issue is more of personal preference, but it's funny considering that many called the relevant novel parts "too slow" and now the donghua is supposedly "too fast". Though it's kind of bullshit that novelreaders pretend "to know what's best for donghua-onlys". I know from experience that these kinds of situations where source-readers claim to understand the secondaries better than the secondaries understand themselves to be absolutely laughable and overly patronizing.

>>280102609
>many called the relevant novel parts "too slow"
Who are these many?
I've only seen this bullshit pop up here after the two episodes dropped.

>>280102554
That wasn't about bots in general, just the specific kind that might be implied to shill chink propaganda using a deep-seek interface or such. Those probably exist somewhere else, but not here for the purpose of shilling LotM.

>>280102687
It was back before CoI even started being released.
For all I know it was just cope by readers who refused to believe that people unironically didn't like LotM and dropped it early, and thus just made it out to be a case of "well, ugh, the beginning is just slow, they would have 100% liked it if only they endured through the slow part for longer until it gets really good!"
Regardless of whether or not that was the reason, I do remember people truly making the claim that it got a "slow start".

>>280102860
Maybe it depends on where you "hang out" on the internet, but I've been around for a long time & the complaints I've heard is:
>ending is rushed
Which is pretty valid. Author zoomed through the final sequences.
>muh desi pie
Author had these segments where he would rant in great length about something that never had any relevance later on or at a time. Which is also a valid complaint.
