Personally, I had watched some of the above mentioned Chinese anime and I am pretty impressed especially with I’m Joybo and Soul Land. The plot may be redundant but the execution of the story, its feels and the music, together with some key points in its animation; the entire Chinese anime fever is getting legit and deserved the hype it actually gets.
