Like Wonderful Days, but seriously I think China should give up on the whole animation thing and stick with their live action movies instead.

I think they should quit using Japanese ideas instead (well, because it sounds and looks like stuff like Fushigi Yugi...). There is a manwha(sp?) that should be put into an Chinanimation! Well I think it's Chinese, +Again is something about the monkey king, but it's still kick ass! (well, at least the first volume.)
It's just that they want to get popular so they use money-making ideas from Japan. Someday they will eventually bring out something different, they should just keep trying.
Or else it's like saying that all online anime fan-comics suck and no fans should continue drawing those things because the idea of huge-eyed school girls and other magical stuff is over-used.
And What the Hell, let's just see what happens.

LOL .. from the screenshots, it looks more like those animated Bible episodes , than Anime.

I thougth that a Chinese ghost story was from Studio Ghibli. As for buying it I don't know. Studio Ghibli is a great studio though.

I'll stick with HK comic books until they improved their animation quality.

yea, their animation still seems to be in the early stages, reminds me of old japanese anime.. but eventually they'll get their break too... hopefully... or maybe they should stick to live-action, nahhhhhh, let's not let Japan gain a monopoly, we need to encourage better US animation so that it can become cheaper for us
...think about it... okay, stop

Could be good, could be bad. If their just trying to capitolize on anime's success, it'll prolly be drag and cliche. However, they might try something original that could only come from China. That might be nice. Perhaps we could pick up on a couple Chinese cultural nuances like we've seen from Japanese anime, like taking off shoes and such. <Yahoo for me for re-referencing shoes.

good if we all learn to understand where we all come from and respect that

bad if we all end up being the same and lose individuality... then truly become earthlings... not americans... not asians... not europeans.... earthlings united.... against the martians... until we universalize and become universians... not plutonians... not.... i'm done now
