Winsing Animation’s Shadows of the Void is scheduled to premiere on 10 April 2024 exclusively on Bilibili. The gripping narrative follows two spirited girls as they bravely confront the catastrophe Voidflux overcoming challenges to safeguard their homeland.
Shadows of the Void features dual female protagonists, Coral and Yujia. The series explores their contrasting personalities, adding depth and complexity to the storyline. Coral’s infectious optimism inspires those around her to embrace their beliefs, while Yujia’s introspective journey reflects the path of self-discovery. “We aim to showcase the multifaceted strength of women through a distinctive lens,” said Winsing Animation chief director Lu Jinming.
Infused with rich Chinese cultural influences, the series weaves elements such as character attire inspired by Chinese motifs and combat sequences rooted in traditional martial arts like Wing Chun. The landscapes of the Sand Zone draw inspiration from the ancient Chinese city of Dunhuang.
Shadows of the Void strives to maintain the charming artistic style of traditional 2D animation while incorporating smooth three-dimensional effects thus leveraging a fusion of Maya and UE5 technologies.
