Theres been a lot of really amazing looking animated films by indie studios in china but sadly some of them are exclusively available to chinese viewers via geoblocking. Anyone here able to download and share them?

These are anthologies with many indie studios making different episodes.

Here is the link that shows from the first seasons information https://www.catsuka.com/news/2022-09-20/capsules-project-omnibus-chinois-de-14-court-metrages-produit-par-bilibili-avec-des-studios-indes

Here's the link to the episodes on bilibili, my VPN doesn't have any China endpoint so they're blocked: https://www.bilibili.com/bangumi/play/ep748347

Had a look in my usual areas and found listings but no sources. Listings were only added recently though (11/30/23) so maybe international distribution is being organised.

I believe this is the entire first season for streaming:

You may have to wait a few minutes for the video to start, but it did play for me eventually.
Edit: Only 11 out of 14 episodes.

Thanks! Do you know of a way to download the videos from there? I want to archive them

[–] mal099@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I used the Video DownloadHelper plugin for Firefox, the same plugin exists for Chrome too and should work. I'm sure you can find some websites that let you simply paste the URL too and download the files that way, if you don't want to download a plugin.

Perfect thanks!

Can you not VPN into China or one of their territories?

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That might work. ProtonVPN has servers in HK

Tried from Mullvad’s exit nodes in HK and Singapore. Didn’t seem to work.

[–] nicetriangle@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

Didn't work for PIA either on their China endpoint either

[–] netburnr@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Try vyprvpn trial

[–] wolfshadowheart@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Not a true answer, but I have found a number of Chinese shows on nyaa, si.
