Lord of Mysteries, a Chinese web novel, is widely regarded as one of the best of its kind. An animated adaptation finally premiered yesterday after months of hype by an overly excited fanbase, but how much of a success is it going to be exactly, particularly in comparison to a hit show like Solo Leveling?https://www.notebookcheck.net/Polarising-Lord-of-Mysteries-anime-debut-raises-questions-over-popularity-potential.1047360.0.html
Donghua's got a great stories, based on comics or novels, even though most if not all are in 3D.
Another advantage is they can be in higher resolution than standard anime which is mostly in FHD max.
Thankfully, AI capable of creating 2D animated art comes, so I w8sh that anime also gains some 3K and 4K resolution.
But, be it japanese, Korean or Chinese adaptations, We may see more of them thx to that. Or so I wish.

There are some very good 2D donghua. There's Blade of the Guardians, Fog Hill of the Five Elements, and now Lord of Mysteries.
But yeah, even 3D donghua can look extremely good. Not sure I'm a fan of AI being used to create art, though.
The great thing about lord of mysteries is how slow paced and detailed it was, the thought processes and the quirkiness of Klein. I just don't see how they could capture his lampooning or deference to every pound while squishing in chapters.
