bl-anime-psychoweird

Hey guys, it’s Yu and we are bringing you the biggest revelations from the August 8, 2020 Tencent Video Animation Annual Conference by Tencent and it was amazing that the giant Chinese company unveiled great projects that we, donghua fans should look forward to see in the next few months until next year. The special event took place to showcase the ongoing and upcoming projects from Tencent and the lineup of Chinese anime under its league.

Chinese Anime Sequels and New Series: 2020 Tencent Video Animation Annual Conference

We had been treated big time as we get news for upcoming sequels for donghua that we had been following through all these years and that includes popular titles such as Battle Through the Heavens, Hitori no Shita, Mo Dao Zu Shi, All Saints Street, and The King’s Avatar. Aside from sequels, Tencent also unveiled the lineup of its upcoming new donghua series this 2020 which includes some of the most anticipated Chinese anime adaptation that we’d been waiting all these years such as the Scumbag System, Silent Reading, Swallowed Stars, and some more original IPs.

It’s the biggest donghua event out there of the season where aside from the big revelation of Tencent’s Chinese anime upcoming lineup for 2020, we also had the staff and cast from these series. It was also a great time to learn about the thoughts of the director, and some voice actors about the respective donghua they are working at. We even got some news, key visuals, and promotional videos for some Chinese anime that we didn’t get new updates lately such as The King’s Avatar, Hero Return, and Mo Dao Zu Shi Season 3.
