Did you know that there’s different anime for Chinese people? Unlike the counterpart Japanese anime, the Chinese anime is shorter in length than Japanese.
Chinese anime can be fun to watch like Japanese anime, despite fans watching more Japanese.
If you want to watch a different kind of anime with a twist, you should watch these shows listed.
The animation and art style can differ, but there’s something to be said about it as far as quality.
Chinese anime:
1. Ling Qi (SpiritPact)
Keika You was struggling with life when he got into an accident. Prior to his accident, he was able to meet Tanmoku who is the head of his exorcist family.
Tanmoku and Keika make a pact together where Keika becomes his spirit shadow to Tanmoku.
When this anime first aired, many viewers thought that SpiritPact is a BL (Boys’ Love) anime with many hints within the first season.
This Chinese anime is also put into Japanese anime. If you like horror and exorcism, SpiritPact is one of the anime that you should watch.
Besides that, it has awesome animation and the series only has two seasons which you can watch right away.
The series is not suitable for young kids as it could be violent and horrific.
2. Lan Mo De Hua
A young girl is in love with her
It’s a sweet and cliche anime and you can tell once you see the opening song that it has a good animation style.
The anime series seems like it is intended for
The series is short as it only has 9 episodes. It’s good to watch if you want to find a new anime to watch that isn’t Japanese or something.
3. Mo Dao Zu Shi: Grandmaster Of Demonic Cultivation
A demonic cultivation man dies and is brought back to life after years of being dead as he was being summoned into a man that he once hated.
The animation could be a bit confusing as it is different from other anime while you watch the series and even the storyline.
That said, the anime gets interesting after watching the first episode.
The anime is based off a novel, so it could get confusing if you haven’t read the novel beforehand.
If you want to try something new, this Chinese anime might get you into the Chinese anime fandom.
4. Douluo Dalu
Tang was once popular in a martial art class until he obtained the forbidden lore.
He wanted to end his life but instead, he got reincarnated but has no memories from the past and only the memories of the present and being a Spirit Master.
If you’re into 3D animation, this anime would be good to look into and if you like fantasy.
The storyline is good but there is some lack of the storyline once you get into it like the characters. Otherwise it is something different and something to watch if you’re looking for an anime to see.
5. Quanzhi Fashi: Full-Time Magister
A young man has more than one magic element as his family struggles. The animation is quite good, even the opening and ending songs of the series are good to listen to.
The anime series has no English subtitles making it difficult for anime fans to watch the series as there would be a season 5 coming this 2021.
It’s scifi and fantasy as the characters use magic elements and it is quite sad that this anime is underrated.
6. Shuangsheng Lingtan: Twin Spirit Detectives
Two detectives specialize in supernatural cases until a case unfolds events.
It’s a good series if you like paranormal and mystery, it could get a bit confusing but it is a detective story where you have to figure out what’s going on.
This series however is like you want to ask the question: “what if…” when you’re watching.
This anime isn’t for young kids as it could get violent and it is paranormal, but if you want to watch something different, I think this series may be the one.
There aren’t that many anime series dealing with the paranormal and this anime deals with ghosts and hauntings in particular.
