Japanese Anime in China

Let's start off with Japanese presence in China:

This is Bleach, also 死神 in Chinese. While this blog won't be just on Bleach, it would be an example for Japanese anime in China.

Bleach is the most awesomest anime Ever!



This is a picture of Toshirou Hitsugaya, the Captain of the Soul Society's 10th squad of the 13 squad divisions. His Zanpaktou is Hyorinmaru an ice-based weapon.

Here's an part of the first episode where Ichigo and Rukia first meet in their room.
Ichigo Kurosaki is the main character in this story (orange hair guy in this video) as well as Rukia Kuchiki (black-haired girl in school haori). This anime is mainly focused on the spiritual side of Japan and offers an escape from the modern world to the feudal era Japan back in the 16th century through the spiritual realm. For example, this anime is mainly consisting of Shinigami (death-gods) and Hollows. They are locked in an-eternal struggle since time began.

There is absolutely no sense of modern-reality here because all weapons are materialized from spirit particles which offers no scientific explanation and nobody ever dares uses a gun/shotgun. During the scenes that are in the modern-world, you may see scenes of hospitals, shopping malls, schools, everything that is modern today, but just no guns/shotguns because the author must really hate them or something like that. That is Bleach in a nutshell without any spoilers hopefully. ^^
