Lord of the Mysteries: China’s next big anime gets new trailer
As Donghua (Chinese animation) gains traction among anime fans globally for recent series such as To Be Hero X, Super Cube, and The All-devouring Whale, one long-awaited series called Lord of the Mysteries just received a new trailer, sparking widespread excitement across social media.
While we can’t judge a show by its trailers, Lord of the Mysteries’ production looks top-notch with excellent character designs and a stunning steampunk-themed setting. Additionally, the show is based on one of the best web novels to come out of China in recent memory.
While the story draws from an oversaturated market of Isekai anime, it differs in several ways, including its unique alternate Victorian era that mixes Lovecraftian horror with mystery.

According to the web novel’s description, the story follows Zhou Mingrui, who finds himself transmigrated as Klein Moretti to another Victorian world filled with machinery, cannons, dreadnoughts, airships, potions, tarot cards, and more.
During his journey, he gets entangled with churches and comes across new powers like “The Fool” tarot card, giving him “unlimited potential.”
Lord of the Mysteries is set to release this summer in July with B.CMAY PICTURES (best known for animating King’s Avatar) on production.
