The Legend of Hei Movie Trailer

The Legend of Luo Xioahei had been a pretty popular and phenomenal anime in China. It was first released in 2011 by its animator MTJJ (real name Zhang Ping). He initially distributed the web series for free online and due to its popularity, he eventually earned revenue from its merchandise and help him build a small production team.

Ever since its released in 2011, The Legend of Luo Xioahei had managed to accumulate a huge fandom with only 27 episodes released until today. Though according to My Anime List, its 28thepisode will be released right before the theatrical premiere of The Legend of Hei on September.

The production for The Legend of Hei movie had begun in mid-2015 but with MTJJ’s small production team, they focused on providing a high-quality film thus resulting to its scheduled release this 2019 after 4 years.

Reddit user @500scnds revealed some short summary of details and features of the upcoming movie.

Below are a set of The Legend of Hei key posters:

The story begins on a rainy night when a homeless little black cat is brought home by a young girl Luo Xiaobai. She names the cat Luo Xiao Hei. However, Luo Xiao Hei is no ordinary cat: he is a supernatural entity that hosts several small creatures called Heixiu.

We are witnessing a sudden boom in the Chinese animation industry this past few years with 2019 giving us so much of excitement and surprises. Yes, there are some pretty huge donghua (Chinese anime) this 2019 including the White Snake which opened the year with such a stunning animation and aesthetic visuals on January. Recently, the whole donghua community had been surprised and stunned with NeZha which became the highest animated film of all time in Chinese box office reaching the $600 million mark. It is also scheduled for international release soon starting at Australia and New Zealand before the month of August ends. The King’s Avatar: For the Glory – a prequel movie to popular Chinese anime series The King’s Avatar had been released last August 16, 2019.
In due time, I believe that Chinese animation will definitely get the attention it deserves and with The Legend of Hei movie release this September, we are seriously one step closer in realizing that dream. So, you better watch out for the movie as I believe it may get an international release depending on the film’s performance in Chinese box office next month.
