It begins!

About the Chinese studios who scout anime staff, apparently it's not just on japan. I know a guy(just an acquaintance, we got some common friends back in college days) who used to work on Toei animation phils (yes. That toei) got a job offer on mainland china together with his colleagues and that was years ago. Even now he constantly tweet on Twitter about how cold the weather there.

I apologize for the skepticism. But I can't help but to think that the Chinese is now moving to dominate the Anime market by learning from the Japanese and then offering their studios as the cheaper alternative to Japanese and Korean studios.
This is somewhat worrisome as the Chinese have been pushing into the entertainment sector in the last couple of years and influencing the markets. Their shows have a rather limited scope of appeal if you get my drift. |

In my opinion that's exactly what they're doing. """"Learning""""", to put It kindly, the Craft from the Japanese and when they've become knowledgeble enough, starting a parallel market on their own, bound to become bigger in all aspects because of the chinese population. Why do you think they're opening Japanese branches of their studios and/or constantly "collaborating" with Japanese studios and people to adapt chinese media ? Other than """""learning""""" the know how they are pushing this mid-long term strategy of collaboration/co-production with Japanese entities and commercialization of chinese animation, both the collaborations and the 100% Made in china, in Japanese territory to legitimize what they produce as True Anime (which is not) in the eyes of chinese consumers (cause believe It or not even chinese consumers generally prefer anime over chinese "anime - wannabe"), Japanese consumers and the overseas anime fanbase, and then after changing the general perception of their products as something "normal" within the anime community, or even something that legitimately falls in the definition of Anime, they'll be able to sell their products as anime and produce everything by themselves "stealing" a good chunk of the anime market for themselves (I don't even want to imagine the effects in the traditional anime market and industry that all of this would bring) in china for sure, oversea It remains to be seen, although I think It's starting to sink in ... Just look at MAL non-sensical guidelines about what's allowed or not in their database, ANN and other specialized sites reporting on chinese animation brought to Japan which has no Japanese involvement in the creative process whatsoever except for the Japanese dub (they're practically on the same level as the new season of Scooby doo getting a Japanese dub ... I wonder why I don't see any articles about that ) and so on ... If you Google "Japanese anime in China" or something similar, you'll find a lot of articles on the topic, especially from non-anime specialized web sites. On another note I seriously wonder why Japanese talents should go and work for the chinese when we constantly read articles about the allarming lack of people working in the industry, Unless they are offering High paychecks of course. Also Who in their right minds praise that mess called Dynamic Chords ? |

It shows how different Chinese culture is to Western culture. What I mean by that is that Western market always has been much bigger than the Japanese but they never tried to learn from the masters of comics and animation to a high degree: Western animation studios never offered jobs to Japanese artists. While the Chinese are more humble and so they recognize when something foreign is better than their own and they seek to learn from it.

Hopefully the Chinese studios' need for Japanese animators will result in some good Chinese anime being made in the future.

I probably get what he said about DYNAMIC CHORD. That anime was poorly animated, while looking old-fashioned. I guess he likes the old-fashioned look. And sometimes the characters are poorly drawn.
