Tianxing's Lost Forest had been growing in popularity ever since its first episode aired!
Compared with people in other fields, 2D fans were quite rational. Before Lost Forest aired, fans, media outlets, and industry insiders had mostly mocked it online. Now, though, they were practically falling over themselves to praise it!
From the first to the fourth, dozens of anime had already launched over the past few days in the April Animation Market!
But most of them followed the same old formulas. Looking back at the previous season's shows, or even the ones from the year before, they were all much of a muchness. 2D fans were already suffering from aesthetic fatigue, yet the companies producing them just kept churning out more of the same!
By comparison, Lost Forest was certainly gory and grotesque, and some parts didn't quite make sense, but its first episode had been incredibly satisfying to watch. Ruan Zhiqi had gained over a million Weibo followers in four days, bringing his total to five million!
That was nowhere near the absurd figure of over twenty million followers on Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin's Weibo accounts, but among creators in the Animation Industry, it was a very respectable number!
There were now loads of fans online looking forward to the second episode of Lost Forest. Everywhere you looked, people were praising Ruan Zhiqi!
Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin's fans weren't too happy about it, but there wasn't much they could do!
The truth was, since April's shows had started airing, none of the other anime had been able to measure up. Their quality and entertainment value were clearly a cut below Lost Forest!
The first episode had also surpassed three million views and was heading for four million!
That was the kind of early performance curve you
