 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?

| Seems like this year is going to be the beginning of anime adaptation of Chinese manhua and web novels.it really is a great thing Now,i just hope that Korean Manhwas would get the same treatment(i would really like an anime of The Breaker) |
| I hope is something decent |
 |
| is this any relationship with this? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/14/chinese-teenager-dies-48-hours-entering-internet-rehab-camp/ |

Kuma said: 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.is this any relationship with this? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/14/chinese-teenager-dies-48-hours-entering-internet-rehab-camp/ |

| Lol that PV looks a bit like something made by Shaft. |
| I cut myself when i read that synopsis, so much edge. |
 |
| Dafuq is that desciption. Who goes to jail for being an internet addict? I guess thats the point of the story tho, but its rly weird |
| ahhh heres the shitty chinese anime of the season. might try the first episode, looks edgy af lol. (kinda reminds me of deadman wonderland with the poster and the prison theme .-.) |

| China one step closer to world domination... |
 |
| Sounds okay, the PV is not bad at all, even though it seems pretty edgy. |

| evil or live.....gonna give it try but wont expect anything |
 |
| 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. |

| Great, more mediocre/shit anime from China. |

| 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. |
| I really like the plot of the anime. So, I might give it a watch. |
| Yay more whimsical "Chinese Cartoons"... >It would be forgotten a lot sooner from what I expected |
