This section not only features standard animated series content but has also concurrently introduced content related to AI-generated animated series. All content is available for users to watch for free, signaling Meituan's official entry into the currently popular animated series market and establishing it as another major internet company expanding into this sector.
Regarding the content strategy of Fantuan Comic Club, the available animated series cover various popular genres such as youth, ancient style, urban life, and post-apocalyptic themes. The number of episodes per series ranges from a few to forty. For example, "Transmigrated as a Useless Princess, I Use Chemistry to Refine Peerless Elixirs" has a total of 40 episodes, while the second season of "Wind Speed Boys" comprises 26 episodes. Some titles have already garnered significant view counts, indicating that the initial development of a content library has been successfully accomplished. The section's interface includes interactive features such as liking, commenting, and favoriting, and also supports the sending of danmaku (real-time comments), aligning with mainstream user preferences for watching animated series and reflecting a mature overall product design.
