AI motion comics: the episode, the course and the sales pitch

A historical-fiction upload, a training course and an AI-labeled catalog show different uses of motion comics. They do not establish a weekly growth rate.

The finished story is not the tutorial. This source record is being corrected; its former weekly score and comparative rank are withdrawn.
Original platform thumbnail retained for source identification; it does not certify the claims in the upload.

Two uploads, two promises

The August 29 Bilibili upload calls itself a high point for AI historical motion comics and runs for 7,353 seconds—just over two hours. Its platform metadata carries an AI-content notice. That establishes an explicitly labeled long-form upload, not the quality of its characters, animation or ending. The August 24 course is a different object: its title promises a 600-episode training package, rapid learning and employment. Those are the uploader’s marketing claims. The metadata lists one upload of 41,097 seconds; it does not independently certify 600 lessons or an employment outcome.

What the catalog actually adds

The iQIYI collection lists serial titles built around siblings, secrets, visible status markers and reversals. The version recovered in this audit lists September 5 and September 6 installments; it does not substantiate the previous claim of September 11 additions. A catalog helps identify repeated story packaging. It cannot show that a generated face stays consistent across shots or that a viewer finishes the series. For an English reader, the useful distinction is between a serial being distributed, a workflow being sold and a business opportunity being advertised.

The number we attributed incorrectly

Our earlier summary assigned 240,000 views to the course while the metric linked the finished historical-fiction upload. We withdraw that summary and the weekly score. The refreshed table names the exact upload beside every counter. Its September 15 cumulative figures are later checkpoints, not recovered Friday figures. The Weibo report is retained as attributed discussion about production incentives; its regulatory and market claims are not independently adopted here.

Current counters, not recovered weekly totals

Every number below belongs to the linked upload and the stated capture date. Different formats, durations and platforms cannot be ranked by adding these counters.

What remains unverified

The former weekly scores are withdrawn: the candidate percentiles and within-week time series were not preserved. A later cumulative counter cannot recover them.

This is a source-checked case file, not a hands-on review or a verified cross-platform trend. Full playback and blocked sources remain unverified.
