Astro Plan
China have now reached a new era in making animation aka dong hua! With the release of Astro Plan on their television and youtube(thanks to many others), they are on the verge of flexing their all powerful soft power!
Yah sure, in another 5 to 6 years, they will be… with a blatant copy of Macross’s design… and even the Shen Mu, the flagship in the series… looking like the white horse or more recently the ReHome(Cornelius-class, in Gundam Seed Astray)
Perhaps the reason so many are actually copying Macross is because of the mess that the copyrights owners are in, thanks to an agreement to allow 1 American company to handle the rights outside of Japan… Instead of doing it good, they turn it into robotech and stick by it… blocking all attempts by others to export the original Macross anywhere.
Anyway, the new chinese dong hua, Astro plan, is almost the same as the other productions, nothing fanciful and endearing… In fact, why not you watch it yourself, in the link at the end of the post.
It’s like watching an anime from the 60s, heck it’s worse, compared to the classics like Yamato and etc. Well at least they did the CG part correctly most of the time…
Looks like the PLA should have been the people to lead to the Dong Hua development in China, they got a better production house to make their Red Rightous Army PR video.
In the mean time… enjoy the show…
P.S I can’t help but giggle and laugh… … when watching this show… It sure is entertaining… Like watching Zhou Xing Xing acting as Amuro… … All the anger just seem so funny…
