Teaser for "The God Hunters"《西游后传》Animation from Vasoon
Scheduled for a 2015 premiere, is "The God Hunters"《西游后传》 from, Vasoon Animation (a privately owned Chinese animation studio established in Beijing, 1992.) whereby the characters from Chinsese folklore "Journey to the West" is recognizable, especially WuKong ("The Monkey King"). No specific details as yet for this spectacular looking animation, threading into Japanimation "Ninja Scrolls" territory and hyper-visuals reminding me of the work of "Madhouse" of Japan, and I Am Liking What I am Seeing Loads!
