Whimsical Wish: An Original Donghua Coming Soon to Bilibili (Aug 2024)

Guys, have you heard?! Get ready to be whisked away to a world of quirky fun because Whimsical Wish (or Guai Xiang Shou, for my fellow Chinese anime fans) is finally arriving! This one’s been on my radar since Bilibili announced it as part of their 2022-2023 lineup, and let me tell you, the wait has been torture! But the good news is, the wait is almost over – Whimsical Wish is set to premiere on August 5th, 2024 (or August 7th on BilibiliTV)!

About Whimsical Wish (Guai Xiang Shou) Donghua

Now, why am I so hyped about this one? Buckle up, because Whimsical Wish seems like the perfect blend of hilarious comedy and fantastical adventure! The story follows Wei Ran, a college graduate who gets his whole world turned upside down (literally!) by a mischievous cat named Yaya. Next thing he knows, Wei Ran finds himself transported to the fantastical land of Dongji State. Talk about a culture shock!

But wait, there’s more! Getting back home isn’t exactly a breeze. Apparently, the train to the human world only runs every six months. Yikes! So, Wei Ran is stuck in this strange new world, at least for a while. Luckily, he finds a temporary haven at Yaya’s shop, aptly named “Whimsical Wish.”  Just imagine all the wacky shenanigans that could go down with a mischievous cat running a whimsical shop! My inner fangirl is already doing a happy dance.

And then there are the dragon scales. This is where things get even more interesting! Just when Wei Ran thinks things might settle down a bit, he starts encountering mysterious dragon scales that trigger bizarre and totally unpredictable effects. Can you imagine the possibilities? One minute you’re sipping tea, the next you’re sprouting wings or turning invisible! The chaos is bound to be epic, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes this show so darn appealing.

Now, let’s talk about the team behind Whimsical Wish. This one’s a collaboration between Bilibili and Smart Dragon. Bilibili, of course, needs no introduction for any Chinese donghua fan. They’re practically synonymous with bringing us the best and brightest in Chinese animation, especially those that appeal to international viewers. As for Smart Dragon, they’ve got a solid reputation for creating high-quality shows, so this partnership has me seriously pumped.

Plus, with Whimsical Wish being an original story, not adapted from a novel or manhua, it feels like we’re in for something truly fresh and unique. The animation style looks adorable from what I’ve seen in the trailer (which you absolutely have to check out!), and with each episode clocking in at a breezy 12 minutes, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for those busy days.

So, there you have it, folks! Whimsical Wish is shaping up to be a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh and a fantastical adventure. Mark your calendars for August 5th (or 7th!) and watch it on bilibiliTV, grab your favorite snacks, and get ready to be transported to the quirky and wonderful world of Dongji State. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
