The long wait is over, Fantasy X Hunter anime had been once again confirmed and this time, it was done during the Tencent Video Animation 2021 Conference that took place last August 8. People with psychic and superpowers, monsters, and a whole lot of fantasy-esque cliche will be brought to life in this new and promising Chinese anime, Huan You Lieren or Fantasy x Hunter that gives off the same vibes as those exciting action-adventure anime that we often had from Japan.

Fantasy X Hunter (Huan You Lieren) Anime Adaptation

The donghua adaptation of Fantasy x Hunter had been first announced by bilibili as part of their Chinese anime lineup for 2020. However, the year has concluded and no new updates had been unveiled for the series. Fortunately, the adventure hasn’t been forgotten and was once again confirmed but this time, it was Tencent Penguin Pictures taking over its production along with China Literature.

Fantasy x Hunter or Huan You Lieren is adapted from the action and adventure-fantasy novel by Ji Ming which was first published in 2016 by Qidian.

Synopsis

In 2079 the birth of the brainwave instrument BrainStation triggered the fourth industrial revolution. Mankind has ushered in a brand new era-the “virtual cyber age”. Through the use of a BrainStation, people can connect to an all encompassing cyber world. This virtual world is constructed like a neural network and the entire system is controlled and dispatched by the master brain Watson. However, over time issues are starting to surface: many people can’t distinguish between virtual and reality, leading to psychosis and long-term addiction to the virtual world.
