15 Greatest Chinese Anime, Ranked

Animation is an international medium and China has developed its own distinct style, donghua, which has rapidly broken into the spotlight. This list ranks the best Chinese anime by writing, animation, originality, story, and overall quality. Highlights include The King’s Avatar, which follows Ye Xiu, a retired e‑sports pro starting from scratch on a new server; Battle Through the Heavens, a zero‑to‑hero revenge tale with a unique alchemy and fire‑based power system; and A Will Eternal, a bright, goofy take on cultivation that develops its protagonist into a legend.

Other notable entries range from the grounded, slow‑burn A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality and the darker, philosophical Renegade Immortal to the escapist comedy The Daily Life of the Immortal King and the layered mystery of Heaven Official’s Blessing. Soul Land offers a classic power fantasy across many seasons, Fog Hill of Five Elements is famed for a viral fight scene and ink‑painting visuals, and Lord of Mysteries brings steampunk landscapes and stunning action.
