After the trailer for Spirit Person came out, Tianxing gave it a major promotional push, so anyone who paid even a little attention to the 2D scene got it recommended to them, whether they liked it or not!
It was like the annual Double Eleven shopping festival. Whether you wanted to shop or not, those annoying ads would get sent to your phone regardless. Many people clicked on the Spirit Person trailer with disdain, but quite a few changed their minds after watching it!
"Looks pretty interesting! I thought it'd be another clichéd work, but this setting is pretty original!"
"Hope they didn't spend the entire budget on the trailer. It really does look good, but it's hard to say how the show itself will turn out."
"Didn't they say it'd be at least better than Lost Forest? I actually thought Lost Forest was pretty good—quite entertaining. But that anime was like a popcorn movie: fun while you watched it, with nothing much to savor afterward. I hope Spirit Person can overcome those flaws. Otherwise, I doubt it'll reach the heights of Slam Dunk."
"Surely no one really thinks Ruan Zhiqi can stand alongside Teacher Shui Xin and Teacher Zhao Qinyin! I admit Lost Forest did well, beyond my expectations. But compared with everything Ruan Zhiqi has made from the past to the present, and the works of Shui Xin and Zhao Qinyin, it's still missing a certain spark. Maybe Lost Forest can perform on par with the Initial D anime, given that there aren't many major competitors in April's Animation Market and Tianxing is promoting it so hard. But does anyone seriously think that work can measure up to Initial D?"
Quick aside: it's genuinely good and worth installing. You can cache books and listen to them offline!
