What Are Your Thoughts on Donghua (Chinese Anime)?

I think they’re slowly producing works that are on par if not better than some anime. Overall they still don’t have the same quality as Anime, but they’re good enough to be enjoyable.

What they bring in the scene is the great stories adapted or inspired from the plethora of novels Chinese authors write. Particularly the cultivation stuff.

Some noteworthy Donghua I’ve liked were Link Click and Daily Life of the Immortal King.

What I don’t like about Donghua is they’re dubbing. I don’t know if it’s just the tone of chinese in general, or they don’t have good enough voice acting industry yet, but chinese dub irks me in a way that the japanese dub never did. I’ve put off a lot of Donghua because of the chinese dub, I remember watching Link Click on japanese dub instead.

    Haven’t watched any yet, but I’d be keen.

    I read a lot of Wuxia/Xianxia manhua, like Martial Peak, Apotheosis, GOMA etc, and would be interested in a similar Donghua - got any recommendations?

      I haven’t watched it, but they said the adaptation of A Will Eternal was good.

      If you liked any of the Er Gen novels (I Shall Seal The Heavens, Renegade Immortal, etc.), you probably would like it.
