I'm interested if this Chinese animation is going to be any good.

The summary is spoilerish and wrong in places, but it gets the general plot across.

This gives me hope for Mo Dao Zu Shi, or at least it's JP dub getting released simultaneously while it airs in Japan in January.

Currently based on the reviews and rating along, it is one of the better, if not one of the best BL work (I am talking about the comics, which is adapted from the original web novel the said show is based on) mainland China has offered, heck, even some non-BL fans seem to love it. I guess I may have to give it a try too on October 30th

Would be sweet if The King’s Avatar could get a dub. Though I’m not sure if that one is Bilibili.

That one is on Tencent as they have its exclusive streaming rights on their platform (which includes regions like mainland, HK and Taiwan). Hopefully they will be working something with the Western licensors

Thank you for the link.
To be honest the trailer looks pretty good. I'm really looking forward to this anime? And hopefully it will be on Wakanim ( funimation streaming group in Europe).

Europe will get it either on bilibili or their youtube channel with eng subs. If wakanim gets it, it'll probably be with russian subs.

Edit: About Heaven Official’s Blessing’s Availability on Anime Made By Bilibili YouTube Channel

Wakanim is divided by 3 region. French, Nordic and Russian. I'm in the Nordic part and we never have Russian subs. All Dubs and subs are English.

I'm looking forward to this anime. I hope above all hope that Funimation licenses and dubs Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation next. I love that series. Now that is an awesome Chinese animated series.

That probably won't happen as the funimation deal is with bilibili and mdzs is a tencent series

They may get the JP dubbed version from Aniplex.

Interesting that Funi are licensing TGCF (Heaven's Official Blessing) for their first Chinese donghua. As a fan I'm happy Anime hyper, but it will be interesting to see how big of an audience this work will have in the West.
