Genshin Impact Anime at SIFF? Seiyuu Broadcast Teases Major News as Fans React with Skepticism

Recently, Genshin Impact appeared on a recommendation list for the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), catching the attention of the gaming community. This coincides with a scheduled seiyuu (voice actor) broadcast on the 14th, which promises a 'major announcement.' Fans are hopeful that this signals a real step forward for the long-rumored anime project.

Fans are approaching this news with a mix of excitement and 'gacha-style' skepticism—often referring to unfulfilled promises as 'drawing a cake' (画饼, a Chinese slang for making empty promises). While some speculate that the studio might be collaborating with a top-tier international team to produce a full-length series rather than the usual high-quality short PVs, many are simply asking, 'Where is the actual footage?' The comments section is filled with demand for tangible results rather than more teasers, with some jokingly asking if it’s just another short music video like 'The Divine Damsel of Devastation'.
