iQIYI has debuted the company’s first originally produced English dubbed production in the form of Super Cube. The series is a co-production of IQIYI and Kuaikan Manhua with animation production coming from Big Firebird Cultural Media and the English language track being completely produced in AI.
The series is obviously getting polarizing reviews online with those in the animation community lamenting the fact that AI is producing the English language tracks and those who watch via subtitles anyway remarking at the sophistication of the shounen putting it on par with a lot of the animation produced from Japan.
Unfortunately for all sides, the only opinion that really matters is ours and it’s coming this week.
Synopsis:
In an accident, an ordinary boy, Wang Xiaoxiu, obtains a space system called “Superpower Cube” from a high-latitude cosmic civilization and gains extraordinary powers. When the school belle, Shen Yao, Wang Xiaoxiu’s longtime crush, confesses her love to him, the delinquent Sun Jun, who also has a crush on her, is provoked. Wang Xiaoxiu resolves the crisis with his wit and extraordinary powers, but it also brings more disasters as a result. Shen Yao is taken to the world of extraordinary beings by a mysterious person, and Wang Xiaoxiu embarks on a journey to rescue her. Fighting in the bizarre universe, he finds the meaning of fairness and justice on the path to becoming a peerless powerhouse.
