Apologies in advance if this is the wrong thread. This looks absolutely amazing...
check out some of the footage of making the movie scenes after the trailer...

This trailer has English subs:

Hopefully its at a theater near you!

Chinese btw for those that didn't know.
I know that the Chinese are trying really hard to make grounds into the Anime world. Read a pretty good article about how there stuff isn't that good. They have aired a few things in Japan and most of the Japanese didn't like it, same with others that have viewed their stuff. Hopefully they'll just stop and leave anime to the Japanese.

Looks pretty awesome to me - I love CG fantasy stuff like this, can't get enough of it... If I can buy a subtitled blu-ray of this somewhere after it releases, I'll be one of the first in line... My mother and I used to watch all kinds of Chinese fantasy, adventure, and martial arts movies long before I ever started watching anime, so I'll definitely be showing these trailers to her tomorrow...

I also enjoy Chinese fantasy, martial arts and ancient war period films. Though I am not a big fan of CGI, I may still check this out.

If not from Japan IT IS NOT ANIME. Period.

The Chinese can become better at making animation than the Japanese for all I care, but it will NEVER be anime.

There were at least two other Chinese fantasy action type CG movies like this that had trailers on Youtube over the last 2 years or so - wonder what became of them, I haven't heard if either of those ever released or not. The more recent one was maybe a little over a year ago, and had a familiar western actor in it as one of the main characters, I think he played the bad guy...

Typical non-Japanese, Western view/response...

All animation is anime - just not all animation is Japanese anime (Japanimation).

Naiera · 10-03-2016, 01:52 PM

To the Japanese, all animation is anime.

To the rest of us, only Japanese animation is anime. It's so much easier to define it like this.

If all animation was anime, why would there be a separate anime forum? Disney, Dreamworks, etc. are not discussed here. Do you believe they might as well be?

Agree with these. To me Japan anime is and will always be anime.

I'm not arguing about it, there's nothing to argue about. That only meant I was ignoring your statement, is all...

Naiera · 10-03-2016, 03:54 PM

I posited a pretty good argument if you ask me. Feel free to lose the debate by default.

So I guess any and all animation should be welcome here. I'll just go make an Angry Birds thread...

The way I look at it is if it's an animated Japanese production, I consider it anime. If you just take into account where the animation was made it can get into grey areas. Most of you probably know this already, but a lot of Japanese anime (and US animation) is outsourced to Korea. I believe in many cases the key animation is done by the studio, and the filler stuff is outsourced to an overseas production team.

neoz · 10-03-2016, 05:51 PM

I mean Family Guy and American Dad are outsourced. I believe that Top Drawer is a Filipino company and they also do a lot of outsourced stuff. Still Chinese "cartoons" aren't anime. They are just trying to get their foot in the door. I mean they already are making grounds into Hollywood.

Nothing371 · 10-03-2016, 05:53 PM

It's not that complicated. The word 'anime' has one meaning to everyone in the west. Doesn't really matter how they use the word in Japan. We are not in Japan. It has its own definition here. And it refers to Japanese style animation. The location where the anime was created also doesn't matter.
