Capsules Project returns for a new season, continuing Bilibili's push to give independent Chinese animation teams a stage to experiment. Each entry is built around the same method as before: a professional studio picks its own combination of "extreme emotions" and turns that pairing into a short, self-contained story, free to choose whatever style or format fits. This time the teams work under a single shared prompt, "Hero," with the understanding that everyone's idea of what a hero looks like will differ. The result is a collection of short films rather than one continuous plot, each one a different studio's answer to that prompt filtered through its own emotional focus. Action carries through as the connecting genre thread across the entries. Anyone drawn to anthology animation, or curious about how different Chinese studios interpret the same idea in wildly different ways, has a reason to check in on this round.
