Galaman - a Hong Kong web series

大家好 (Da Jia Hao)! 

Galaman is a very interesting Chinese series I would like to introduce to you. It is a mix of superhero and game-style comic animations with a number of episodes online (available with English subtitles).
What's particularly interesting about this web series, is that every episode holds underlying social and political criticism towards the Hong Kong society and sometimes reacts to recent trends as well.

Here is an episode to get an idea of the look and feel of this animated series:


It's produced by a young start-up called Minimind Studios which are part of the HK Design Centre incubation programme. You can primarily find Galaman on YouTube:

But Minimind Studio managed to also find syndication effects with Yahoo Hong King and they offer a whole catalogue of merchandising articles for all its characters.

Episodes are released only every 2-3 months, but you can become a fan on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/galamanhk and stay updated by visiting their website: http://minimindstudio.com/galaman/
