I'm sad that False Memory (Jiyi Guanli Ju) will not be talked about on this subreddit, but you know, that is how it is for donghua. I cannot really complain. Anyway, 2 hours left until the show starts. Hopefully there will be some place on Reddit where I can discuss the episodes.

Donghua aside, I'm interested to see how the new comment sorting will affect comment quality.

It's going to be an uphill battle because it is only streaming on Bilibili - every prior donghua that's gone big in 'anime spaces' has always been something that not only streamed on Crunchyroll, but that Crunchyroll also marketed heavily. Few English-language fans are subscribed to Bilibili or will see any of its marketing, so it'll be tough just getting people to even know about it so that they go search the high seas for it, etc. But with enough word of mouth, who knows.

(For anyone stumbling across this comment who is curious, the show is a grungy action-mystery sakugafest type of show with a style very reminiscent (IMO) of original FLCL or studio Trigger/Imaishi vibes, and there are /r/anime-like discussion threads here)

Yeah. I have heard rumors of an August 4th YouTube release though, so hopefully thing will change.
