#all donghua anime

[xinyuehui]

S4 x 6 ※ S5 x 3

Regarding the pun, they haven't revealed the name of the baozi shop, but I can take a few wild guesses:

Open all year round is 全年无休 Quan Nian Wu Xiu

权莲无休 Quan Lian Wu Xiu - Ah Quan and Huilian never end. This one combines their name together.

权莲无休 Kyun Lin Mou Yau - The same one as above, but if read in Cantonese, Wu Xiu becomes Mou4 Yau1 which is the same as 无忧 Mou4 Yau1 and it means free from worries. It'll become Ah Quan and Huilian free from worries.

权莲误消 Quan Lian Wu Xiao - The misunderstanding between Ah Quan and Huilian's disappears.

权恋无休 Quan Lian Wu Xiu - Never stop loving Ah Quan.

These are my guesses. If anyone has any other ideas, feel free to let me know, and I'll add them to the post. Or, if they reveal the actual name next week, I'll edit it with the new explanation.

Edit: They haven't revealed it in the show, but AHA Entertainment posted a video on their Wechat with '权莲无休' 'Quan Lian Wu Xiu' in the caption.

Saw someone say they wouldn’t watch a new cute donghua unless it got an English dub, but they were also a fan of an anime with a similar genre/premise that wasn’t fully dubbed so, since they had a way you could send them anon asks, I kind of pettily—but gently!—asked them about it.

I did point out they watch the anime they’re a fan of subbed SLFJSKDJ. Plus if you want a dub, donghua usually needs some actual fan support in order for a dub to even exist (unless it was a collab with another country like Incredible Ant), as most donghua aren’t targeting viewers outside of China—and plus the donghua they were talking about is even getting fan-subs now, so if they’re worried about not understanding it, they already have an avenue for it. But other than that, I simply asked if Chinese was really that bad in their opinion, and I didn’t do it accusingly.

I just hope some people can maybe reevaluate how they discuss the Chinese language—a whole language that actual people speak. Like if my question can get them to pause and go, “Huh. Yeah, why do I refuse to try a Chinese show in Chinese? I didn’t mean to be sinophobic, but it is a bit unfair to not give this language a chance when I let myself get used to Japanese, so maybe I should give it a shot after all,” that’d be neat. And well, if they turn out to be a sinophobe instead… Then well, I guess they turn out to be a sinophobe.

In that case, either they get called out by my question even if they ignore it and are reminded their sinophobia is obvious and can be called out, or they answer the question and reveal their sinophobia and thus other people may see they are sinophobic while realizing they shouldn’t be that way too. :P

Let it be known that after seeing That One Fan Animation (you know the one) I can no longer see cute depictions of Xia Lian as a ferret without slapping a hand over my mouth and doing some sort of sympathetically embarrassed snort-giggle.

Shiguang Dailiren/Link Click Hanakotoba Analysis: Lu Guang Omake

Shiguang Dailiren 《Link Click 》 Hanakotoba Analysis Additional Revisions

Given recent revelations in the newly released episode 24, I have decided to revisit this topic to add some additional information now that we have some more context into Lu Guang's actions and thoughts. I wanted the new material to be easily accessible so that those who have already seen my original post don't have to reread it. So, if you haven't seen it already, please click on the link provided here.

⚠️Warning! Spoilers for Link Click Episode 24/Season 2 Episode 12!⚠️

The forget-me-not not only serves as a powerful symbol of the ties that bind loved ones together but also of the enduring power of love and memories. The forget-me-not is also said to be a symbol of hope and continuity as it is resilient and blooms even under challenging conditions. This flower thus additionally symbolises staying true to oneself.  The final episode of season 2 revealed that Lu Guang comes from a different timeline where Cheng Xiaoshi has died. Cheng Xiaoshi’s death caused Lu Guang to break their rules without hesitation.  He lives likely constantly haunted by the memory of Cheng Xiaoshi’s death, despite the latter being alive alongside him in the present moment, while actively trying to prevent his death. The incredible lengths Lu Guang is able to go through for Cheng Xiaoshi ties into the forget-me-not’s meanings of remembrance, enduring love, faithfulness, fidelity, and friendship.  Additionally, the forget-me-not’s resiliency and meanings of hope, continuity, and staying true to oneself greatly complement Lu Guang’s dedication and commitment to altering fate. The statice flower’s meanings of “unchanging heart, uninterrupted memory, and eternal immutability” parallel Lu Guang’s unwavering dedication and perseverance in saving Cheng Xiaoshi no matter the consequences of changing the past well.
