The Chinese studio miHoYo released its latest successful project after their mega hit Genshin Impact with Honkai Star Rail. Two weeks after release, the studio gifts its fans with an animated short film that excites everyone.
What is Honkai: Star Rail? Following the massive success of Genshin Impact, the studio miHoYo released its new game Honkai: Star Rail two weeks ago. A game inspired by modern JRPGs, once again adorned with anime aesthetics. Similar to Genshin Impact, MeinMMO editor Marie Friske is excited about Honkai Star Rail.
In keeping with the anime aesthetics, miHoYo released an animated short film. The short film “A Flash” showcases the battle between Jin Yuan and Jingliu and tells the background of both characters through flashbacks. The film is animated and staged at a high level and does not need to hide from other anime productions.

What do the fans say? Fans on YouTube feel similarly and are excited about the quality. In particular, the animations and the story are praised.
- ApexLodestar:
This is a masterpiece. I have goosebumps. Beautifully animated.
- Villenthessis:
Hoyo’s animation team really needs to create their own anime series at this point.
- Cassin89:
Fantastic story. I can hardly wait for the next one.
For the character Jing Yuan, the animated short film serves as good promotion. He will be available in a banner on May 17. The gacha system also sparks discussions in Honkai: Star Rail. A fatigued player shows how F2P-friendly Honkai: Star Rail is after 55 hours.
Also on Reddit, users are excited and not only express their praise but also engage in discussions about the lore of the game. The master-student dynamic is particularly highlighted here.
- toomanyclouds:
Really good and tragic because I am sure that Jing Yuan fears that one day his own student might have to finish him off.
- AenoHolic:
Jing-Yuan lore let’s gooo! It’s really a coincidence how his teacher and his student both use ice elements, haha.
MiHoYo seems to be doing everything right with such productions, as fans are not only impressed by the quality but are also looking forward to new playable characters and content in Honkai: Star Rail.
