ABSTRACT

Aesthetics of violence is a common film style and expression technique used in the creation of 'adult-oriented' Chinese animation and is also a form of artistic exploration of violence. The aesthetics of violence relies on the virtual world of animation, putting the bloody violence in a romantic and poetic veneer, highlighting the aesthetic feelings of the audience, and at the same time setting the values of animation as modern social values, turning animation into an allegorical "non-child" adult fable. By summarizing the connotations of the aesthetics of violence in adult-oriented animation, this paper explores the aesthetic function and expression of the aesthetics of violence in adult-oriented animation.
