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.

      AniDB and MAL rating 8/10. I’ll definitely check it out.

      Noteworthy comment I found while checking it out:

      The English version of this movie has many differences, its runtimes are not the same, there is a colour palette change and it is missing the second Ending Song that was only released for the JPN version.
