The Legend of Hei (2019)

When cat spirit Luo Xiaohei's home is deforested by humans, he must find a new one. He runs into a group of other spirit creatures who take him under their wing with dreams of reconquering the land they say is rightfully theirs. However, they run into a human known as Wuxian who separates Luo Xiaohei from the other spirits and the two go on a journey, with the cat spirit learning to control his abilities as well as forming his own thoughts on whether or not he should ally with the spirits or the humans.

In The Legend of Hei, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “spirit guild realm”. The story fights on E8/E9/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, power, identity, tradition, technology.
