Fans of boys-love donghua must rejoice as Shanghe Jian Xin or Thousand Autumns (also known as Qian Qiu) is getting a Chinese anime adaptation in 2021. Exactly on the first day of the New Year, Shanghai Motion Magic and Tencent unveiled a new trailer for Thousand Autumns.
Thousand Autumns New Trailer
As you can see in the trailer above, we had a glimpse at some fight scenes in the donghua. Therefore, we can expect this level of animation and the character designs looks pretty too. Some characters were also shown albeit most of the scenes highlight various characters battling against each other. Now, this makes me even more excited knowing that there’s plenty of actions waiting for us in the donghua adaptation of Thousand Autumns.
Overview
Alright, we all know that Thousand Autumns is getting an anime adaptation but let’s have a short drive to its background. Thousand Autumns is a Chinese web novel written by author Meng Xi Shi who also wrote Peerless, and The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua. The novel is also known as Qian Qiu.
The historical martial arts novel is also a boys-love story and I believed that fans of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official’s Blessing will surely love it due to its similarities. The novel was published by Changjiang Literature and Art, and jjwxc.
