I guess we’re gettin’ a Karl Marx anime sequel.
Description: The 15-second preview of “Qia Classmate Boy” animation is released, and the full version of the work preview is officially announced at the B station Guochuang Animation Conference. Stay tuned~

I’m happy, but also a little sad we didn’t get Lenin for season 2. I get that Stalin’s a little too controversial at the moment
It makes sense they’d prioritize Marx and Mao since they had more effect on China. I don’t think these are made with like the desire to tell the entire history of socialism but just the pertinent parts to the Chinese context. The October revolution would make for good drama though, they’re missing out by not touching it yet (or ever).
It would be interesting if they make a series on the Chinese part of WWII. Since the KMT and CPC were both being trained by the Comintern, there would be some awkward parts to navigate politically, like Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo being college buddies in the USSR
