Popular Post tooironic Posted March 28, 2014 at 12:16 AM Popular Post Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 at 12:16 AM Hi everyone. I discovered this Chinese anime today and thought I'd recommend it. It's called 尸兄 (Zombie Brother), and all the episodes are available on YouTube, starting here. Each episode is only 5-10 mins, so they come in bite-sized pieces. The story is about a city that gets its water supply infected, thereby starting a zombie uprising. It's half-horror, half-comedy, with plenty of coarse language and sexual references thrown in. Good fun, with lots of common slang (the first episode features 文艺青年，屌丝 and 坑爹, to name a few), so it's good learning material as well. Enjoy. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooironic Posted March 28, 2014 at 09:27 PM Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 at 09:27 PM It's pretty good, isn't it? Great art design and hilarious dialogue. Watch out for the cross-dressing 大叔 who comes up a bit later - absolute comedy gold, with double entendres aplenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tysond Posted March 30, 2014 at 01:25 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 at 01:25 PM Animation style and level of profanity and violence reminds me of Archer. Love the cultural references (when I understand them) like the whole conversation with his mother. It's based on a comic actually, a lot of it is directly taken from the comic scene for scene.

"我感觉我出现幻觉了。我竟然看见你家COCO头上顶了一堆的蛋蛋" "阿，蛋蛋。。。蛋蛋！？我看看!" I don't know why I'm watching this, but I want to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I find it kinda distasteful when a minor character is set up as a complete stereotype and then made the butt of every joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooironic Posted April 1, 2014 at 09:30 PM Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 at 09:30 PM It's supposed to be distasteful, that's the genre. And every character is made fun of, including the main character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted April 2, 2014 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 at 02:39 PM Sure, but the main character isn't an offensive stereotype. I mean, if it was a black dude with exaggerated racial characteristics and a predilection for fried chicken, you wouldn't defend it on the grounds that "every character is made fun of". I have nothing against childish humour. Hell, I love watching 蜡笔小新... though that also occasionally contains offensive characterisations of transgender people. I just think it's something worth singling out as objectionable, rather than holding up as an example of great comedy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieh Posted April 9, 2014 at 05:37 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 at 05:37 AM Nice. THanks for posting. Not a good idea to watch it while eating my lunch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hwong_DsiKiem Posted April 24, 2014 at 05:33 AM Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 at 05:33 AM I've watched until ep 21 and I couldn't find episodes 22 and 23 so I assume that's all there is currently, at least on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrap Posted February 14, 2015 at 11:47 PM Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 at 11:47 PM Just a heads up to let you know that it's currently up to 40 episodes available on YouTube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurenth Posted March 23, 2015 at 06:12 PM Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 at 06:12 PM It seems there's a "fictionalised" version of 中国惊奇先生 starting here, with accurate dialogues matching those of the anime, as far as I can tell from the two first pages. Could be useful for those (like me) for whom that kind of help is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
