Haoliners Animation League has opened an official website and announced that Zhannan Li's Lixiang Jinqu (Ideal Restricted Area) web manhua will get a TV anime adaptation. Under the title Evil or Live, the anime will air on Wednesdays at 1:41 a.m. via Tokyo MX starting October 11.

Synopsis:
In this modern society, a new kind of "illness" is striking young boys and girls. Loneliness, disbelief, and outrage push this generation to grow more and more attached to internet and technologies. The experts call these symptoms "Net Addiction." To cure this condition, a certain rehabilitation facility has been set up to "lead the young men back to the right path." Enrolled to treat his addiction, Hibiki had no idea that this rehabilitation facility is nothing more than a prison. In this hellish place where escape is prohibited, how will Hibiki overcome his despair? (Source: Press release, edited)

I'm not sure if the original manhua artist based the manhua from this news (character based on the real person in there or not, I meant), but probably somewhat related for it's a serious case that even I, from another Asian country, heard of the situation.

nah,pretty sure manga is older than this news...,but yeah, chinese treatement to internet addiction is notoriously radiculous... kinda like what happened with gay people back then... recent incident does might accelerate it popularity which also give it animation adaptation... pretty sure there is already documentary about it...

Most Chinese stuff is watchable if it isn't 24 min episodes, 12 min is just right.

Chinese Internet addiction bootcamps are bad, like death chamber or political prisons bad. I can see why a manga and anime was made based off one of the many horror stories and growing coming out of those nightmare facilities.

The otaku Gulag, not a bad concept per se, but I fear for the execution, after seeing what they did with Bloodivores and the King's Avatar, I'm not keeping my hopes too high.

Maybe I'm just getting old and I'm not as easy to impress at this point.

YES. I would absolutely love to see The Breaker get animated, I think it would be pretty popular if adapted well.
