| So, I started watching Heaven's Official Blessing, and besides that one and Mo Dao Zu Shi, I don't know what the best Chinese anime are, besides perhaps The King's Avatar. Could you share with me which ones are the best? Since few people have seen those, I can't only rely on the MAL scores to choose one besides the ones I mentioned. I know many of them are rushed and / or have >20 minute episodes, so that might be a factor to consider, idk. And yeah, I'm sharing this here :) Maybe someone out there will enjoy it |

| Scissor Seven was pretty great and easy to get into. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
FMmatron said: Ohhh I remember seeing that one's cover when it came out. Wouldn't have been able to find it through studio search here on MAL, thanks a lot :)Scissor Seven was pretty great and easy to get into. |

| The only one I've seen is Ne Zha but it was an amazing movie. It uses 3d animation but it was listed on MAL so I watched it anyways. |
 |
| Hell nah, get that Chinese shit outta my face! |
 |
| Cooking with valkyries, it's an anime about cooking. btw Ascendance of a Bookworm is an amazing anime, it's the only isekai anime I like to rewatch |

| My time to shine Xian Wang de Richang Shenguo is a totally amazing Chinese anime; it's the first one I have ever completed! |
AlexPaulLEWZ said: Much appreciated for the recommendation. That was actually one of the anime I checked out for my video, good to see a recommendation for it :)My time to shine Xian Wang de Richang Shenguo is a totally amazing Chinese anime; it's the first one I have ever completed! |

| The creator of Mo Dao Zu Shi and Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing) also has another series that was also animated called Chuan Shu Zijiu Zhinan (a.k.a Scumbag System) (the animation style looks more like a game, but it was still an enjoyable watch so you might enjoy it) |
 |
| Macross, Yona, Fushigi Yuugi I've only seen Tong Ling Fei and this: https://myanimelist.net/anime/39188/Xie_Wang_Zhui_Qi and I've only liked the former, latter has a thicc waifu though. But yeah guess donghuas ain't my thing |
 |
| I have watched a few Chinese anime the ones I would recommend are; Shuangsheng Lingtan Ling Qi Zhen Hun Jie Xie Wang Zhui Qi The King's Avatar |
Conceptualhero said: But like I mentioned, it's a matter of getting used to it. Also it's a refreshing experience. I kind of like being forced to watch it in chinese so I get to appreciate voice acting in another language. I think they should start dubbing Chinese anime. I don't care whether they dub it in English or Japanese, but it seems like most anime fans lament on the "roughness" of the Chinese language. Unfortunately, I don't have any to recommend, but I do want to start watching Chinese anime soon. With only a couple chinese episodes watched, I already like the "ethereal" nature of their voices, which fits with most types of anime they dub. Also, their production values are well above the average in the anime industry, and their OSTs are also very good from what I've heard. duchessliz87 said: Thanks! Is the story itself as good as the other two? If so I might check it out sometime, but yeah the fact that it has that type of CG is a bit unconfortable, but if it's worth it I'm willing to tryThe creator of Mo Dao Zu Shi and Tian Guan Ci Fu (Heaven Official's Blessing) also has another series that was also animated called Chuan Shu Zijiu Zhinan (a.k.a Scumbag System) (the animation style looks more like a game, but it was still an enjoyable watch so you might enjoy it) |

Nostalgik said: Thanks! Is the story itself as good as the other two? If so I might check it out sometime, but yeah the fact that it has that type of CG is a bit unconfortable, but if it's worth it I'm willing to try Well, I enjoyed it, personally. The story is based around the MC who was isekai-ed into the webnovel series he was reading after choking on what looked like a Chinese dumpling while he was angrily complaining and debating flaws of the series to other readers online. The character in the novel he is isekai-ed into is Shen Qingqiu. The main issue with being isekai-ed into Shen Qingqiu is that he was one of the main villains of the series and has a rather brutal end. Major draw back about trying to change things? There is this system in place and the system is absolute scum and won't let him change certain plot points with the threat of taking a huge amount of points away which in turn would send him back to his original world. Where he's dead. So his choices are pretty shitty and he gets backed into multiple corners trying to build a good relationship with the hero of the novel world Lu Bing-he even knowing his character has essentially taken pleasure in tormenting the teen and knowing that he's still going to be forced to betray Bing-he because the scum system won't allow him to avoid it. Because it was a major 'plot point' in the original story and allowed Lu Bing-he to evolve and gain strength. That was the first time I'd fully watched a series done in CG like this and it actually wasn't that bad. I got used to it. The only thing that I outright laughed at was the monsters and most of the fight scenes which were so terribly done it looked like something out of Arifureta. I thought the characters were pretty to look at though lol. Anyway, if you end up really liking the other two series then I'd recommend it. If you don't then you can just ignore it. Mo Dao Zu Shi is my favorite of the three series, especially the second season (and Mo Dao Zu Shi Q, which is a chibi short series is an adorable addition to the Mo Dao Zu Shi universe). Also, Mo Dao Zu Shi has a live action series called The Untamed which is also a fantastic watch (and it's on Netflix). |

Unfortunately, I don't have any to recommend, but I do want to start watching Chinese anime soon. You are like literally the first person I have seen talking about “the roughness of the Chinese language” and the same person I’ve seen mention it twice. You have clearly not seen a single donghua. Even the popular ones mentioned by OP — MDZS, TGCF, QZGS, the main characters are so soft-spoken/gentle, their voices are so rich & they convey the beauty & softness of the Chinese language so well. No idea what you’re going on about. |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I've not watched much Chinese animation, but I do have two that I really love and haven't seen mentioned yet. Wu Shan Wu Xing (Fog Hill of Five Elements) is a very well shared anime amongst the sakuga lovers. It's only 3 episodes so it's more a prologue, however the animation and the absolute godlike choreography will stick with you. You don't even have to go that far to find it, all of the episodes are on Youtube. Those 3 episodes required 4 years to make, even if it was done by a small team that's still a lot of time put into this show. God damn 2020 depriving us of more, but it actually works well as a prologue. Tu Bian Ying Xion Leaf (To Be Heroine) is really, really good too. I honestly had low expectations because of how dumb (but fun) it's predecessor To Be Hero was, but this one was actually pretty serious and had a lot of heart, even if it initially felt like it was going to be really silly and stupid. It has a very silly premise and beginning, however do keep in mind it doesn't stay silly, and it also has unnecessarily good animation. During certain segments, mostly the silly ones, it's actually in Japanese, but outside of these segments it's Chinese and very much feels like a Chinese work even during the Japanese segments. Despite being named like To Be Hero and being in the same universe, you don't need to watch To Be Hero first, honestly To Be Hero feels like a spin off of this show, even if it came out first. The show's on Crunchyroll, so if you have an account it's also an easy to find watch. |

Just have to turn a blind eye on some bad CGI action scenes. And unlike most of users here who have prejudice with is not japanese-for-weaboo works, i do respect chinese animatio, i wish for it to have more production quality and better stories, but now i cant be a huge fan of chinese series. No problem with the language, but most of times the plot is not my taste. I guess "King's Avatar" boring, Big Fish Begonia a meaningless mess, and "Heavens Official"... well, it is gay, since it is a sort of "BL". And when the plot is interesting... ah they have that out-of-timming chinese humor, that comic relief goofy character who is calling attention in a moment that should be serious. It is weird. Well, Rakasha Street is one of the few chinese series that seems like... a (good) japanese one lol. The only issue is the CGI, but try to ignore that. The episodes are 15 minutes long btw, that ONA chinese standard. |
