Zhong Guo qi tan

Absolutely masterpiece!

It has 8 short story in this series, each one has a unique but cearly Chinese art style.

Now they release 1-5 episodes,I like 1/2/5most.

The first story is about a group of little "Yao" (genie maybe?)living in Lang Lang Mountain. Oh,they just like us! Poor thing, bully by their bosses everyday TAT

I dont want to spoil, but it has a worm ending, it's beautiful,both the story and picture.

PS: If you know something about Chinese great classic novel "Journey to the west", you will enjoy it more.

The second episode is base on one of Chinese old story called Yang Xian schoolar,dated back 1500 years ago. It is creepy and philosophical,and open to interpretation in many ways.

Episode 5 is really lovely! So cute! The picture adopts the style of paper cutting,very delicate.

This Chinese animation production, created by the esteemed Shanghai Animation Film Studio, stands as one of the finest in recent years. Known for their illustrious history, the studio has crafted numerous masterpieces, including the renowned "Uproar in Heaven" (1964).

Following a similar format to "Love, Death, Robots," this production showcases a collection of classic and innovative stories rooted in Chinese culture, resonating deeply with Chinese audiences. The level of production quality and storytelling expertise is truly world-class. Notably, the second episode is presented in the captivating form of traditional Chinese ink paintings, adding a unique and artistic touch to the series.

Variously translated as "Chinese Folktales" or "Chinese Bizarreries", this series is an animated anthology with eight episodes currently availiable. Essentially, this is the Chinese equivalent to Love, Death and Robots, except more tilted to the fantasy side of things.

The animation is sublime, ranging across the spectrum from Disneyesque 2D to abstract styles in 2D and CGI. The plots naturally vary wildely from each other, but they are closely tied to Chinese cultural identity, some shorts even being spin-offs of The Journey to the West.

Overall a stellar recommendation if you enjoy animation and Chinese culture.
