Denial won’t do any good, it’s really true that Chinese anime series is underrated but no one can’t deny that there are tons of pretty decent Chinese anime out there. On my end, once I set my eyes upon The King’s Avatar (Quan Zhi Gao Shou), it opened the path for me to check more on Chinese animation. I am actually surprised that there are precious gems even in Chinese anime industry. I’d seen some Chinese anime before but Quan Zhi Gao Shou is the real eye-opener. Though, the number of Chinese anime that I had seen isn’t on par with the Japanese anime that I’d seen summed up together, I am confident to recommend a Top 10 Chinese anime to watch as a set of intro to welcome everybody in Chinese anime fandom.
The King’s Avatar (Quan Zhi Gao Shou)
A story about a genius online gamer who fell from his glory days just because he won’t compromised his standards and principles. This is an exciting story of fooling around other players while building a giant empire of amateur players to become professional and regain the glory that he once lost. This is a rather fun and amazing anime shows to watch with its notorious humor, intense fight animation sequence.

Soul Land (Douluo Dalu)
This is by far the best 3D Chinese anime that I had seen and the animation sequence especially the fight scenes are definitely top notch. A story of adventure and discovering a hidden power which is quite common in Chinese story. However, the execution of the anime are definitely great with a very O.P. main character and astonishing supports. Soul Land definitely among the top action Chinese anime that you should watch.
I’m Joybo (Wo Shi Jiang Xiaobai)
Interesting characters, awesome soundtracks, unpredictable plot twist; what more can we ask for from this Chinese romance anime? Yeah, the animation could be done better but I have to admit that the visuals are undeniably gorgeously drawn. Every inch of the story is filled with exciting drama and plot twist that may caught us all off guard every time we’re about to assumed something from its story.
