Ne zha 2
Donghua is on MAL yet nobody has talked about this? https://myanimelist.net/anime/60544/Nezha_Zhi_Mo_Tong_Nao_Hai https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films

I'm certainly curious about it, that's for sure. Sorry I missed the chance to see it on the big screen.

Because the A in MAL is for Anime, not Donghua. What exactly does this have to do with anime? |

This site talked about non-anime before like To be Hero X.

Okay. And what do you think of Ne Zha 2 being the highest grossing animated film ever? Is this a contest to say China is better than Japan because their one animated movie topped $2 billion? Have you seen the Ne Zha movies and want to enlighten us on the progressive awesomeness of donghua being able to stand toe-to-toe with anime?

I only watched the first movie. And this post wasn’t meant to be some kind of contest. I was just pointing out how this sites talks about non-anime sometimes like donghua and even reviewing the new devil may cry show.

Well, it is interesting that it made that much. Although, considering China makes up a pretty large amount (if not the biggest) of the global box office market share and that NZ2 came out around Chinese New Year, I guess it kinda is, kinda' not, surprising at the same time. That being said, I received a free copy of the first movie on 4K disc a while back, but never got around to watching it. With the second one being this big a hit, I guess I should make some time to get into the franchise.
Thanks for the bit of info. |

as Someone who very rarely enjoys donggua i think it was an OK film just like the first. Personally I'd recommend Havoc In Heaven (a beautifully animated adaptation of Journey to the west) a.k.a. Uproar In Heaven as the stuff made by Wan Brothers is really good. Their adaption of Princess Iron Fan made during WW2 & is note worthy because the film was brought to Japan during the war where a 16 year Old Osamu Tezuka saw it &wanted to become comic (manga) artist.

but they also thankfully add all donghua as well. As a massive, MASSIVE, BL fanboy and thus also now seven seas danmei novels fanboy who LIVES for heaven official's blessing, thats nice, you can add it to your list.  And that series and MDZS from the same author's other novel is talked about a lot, which makes sense, I can not visit literally any European anime convention or there will literally be dozens, usually at least 50, cosplayers of TGCF and MDZS. And these are cons with 2000 to 8000 visitors total, its that popular, there is usually 10 more of them then say demon slayer. At Dutch Comic Con, there were literally hundreds of cosplayers of those novels, and 6 fan meets organized in two days just for MXTX's danmei novels. Some of which overlapped because multiple people had the same idea.
This to say, they do definitely talk about popular donghua too. xD Link click is also quite popular and good. (Also BL). I just see TGCF and link click and such as part of anime, as all my fandom friends do, and fans in China/Japan mostly as well. The style is the same after all and the cultures are similar so the vibe is too, if that makes sense. Like link click in the Japanese dub just feels like an anime, as they still clean the school every day, have school clubs, bow, die from too much homework, use chopsticks etc. From Europe, it's close enough to look so similar as to be the same fandom naturally. (and I cant recommend TGCF enough, but you really have to read all 8 novels first... link click is a nice easy interesting watch with great characters, art, and story and interesting unique plot though, it ended in S tier at the community tier board next to banana fish on our latest con here and its deserved  though TGCF will always be my fav and the fandom and beautifull cosplayers around it are always amazing).
As for this movie, it was in Dutch cinemas as well for weeks, and I really wanted to go see it, but the problem is I haven't seen the first one, and I didn't get to watching it in time to make it. But it's apparently good, so I might watch it later. I do love mythology, so it might be an interesting watch

I've seen both Ne Zha and Nezha 2 in theaters. They're great and I highly encourage people to watch them.
Most of its revenue is from mainland China, I assume that its export revenue is comparable to theatrical anime. ANN doesn't cover Donghua yet. That's why we're not talking about it. The column you linked to was an exception, not a precedent. -t |
