LAUNCH OF BILIBILI

The launch of Bilibili in Singapore and Malaysia is a much-welcomed one with anime being widely watched in Singapore and Malaysia with 52% of adults saying that they have watched anime before, and 80% watching it at least once a week. Bilibili has more than 9600 episodes of anime and more than 3800 hours available to stream.

A spokesperson for Bilibili says, “We see strong growth for Bilibili in Singapore/Malaysia as there hasn’t been a dedicated video platform for the anime community here. We do not just want to stop there. We also wanted to create a community where anime fans can gather, have fun and share their passion with one another, gaining a strong sense of belonging. We hope that Bilibili will receive a strong welcome with our launch here, especially with the slew of long-awaited titles in our Summer 2022 line-up and tons of engaging activities coming up.” 

Bilibili also offers a plethora of user generated content (UGC) ranging from gameplay highlights, anime reviews to cosplay tutorials and more. “Bilibili intends to cultivate a platform where users are able to express their creativity and share their stories in any way and format they please.” added the spokesperson for Bilibili.

SUMMER 2022 RELEASES

As part of their summer line-up, Bilibili will be streaming Overlord IV, which has been four years in the making since the last season ended in 2018. The dark-fantasy anime series, based on the light novel series of the same name, is about an online roleplaying game permanently shutting down with one player still logged in. He is transported into this video game’s world in his gaming avatar. Being a veteran at the game, he is super-powerful and can destroy monsters with the snap of his fingers. He aims to become ruler of his own Sorcerer Kingdom, as Ainz Ooal Gown.

To make ends meet in the human world, he starts working part time in a fast food joint.
