The King's Avatar (Quanzhi Gaoshou)

This epic action-game Chinese anime had set the flame on fire and draws the attention to Chinese animation in the recent years. Animation wise, the quality of this anime is one of the best I'd seen so far matched with witty humors and somehow exciting narration.

In fact, The King's Avatar is returning for its 2nd season this July 2019 as is one of the most anticipated Chinese anime of the year together with its prequel movie - The King's Avatar For the Glory.

Soul Land (Douluo Dalu)

Pretty decent animation, astounding fight scenes which is executed perfectly, the attention to details and seriously good opening theme song, Duoluo Dalu suddenly became one of my favorite Chinese anime ever.

Currently, it's 2nd season is among the best Chinese anime airing in 2019 with over 40 episodes on its archive.

Sword Dynasty (Jian Wangchao)

Another generic action martial arts Chinese anime, Sword Dynasty revolves around the story of a warrior that will bring changes in its world's history. Almost every Chinese anime shared similar plots, or themes, and this genre just don't gets old and it was executed well in this anime.

Legend of Condor Hero

Adapted from a Chinese classic, this anime simply have a special place in my heart since I am big fan of The Return of Condor Heroes, my favorite installment of the Condor trilogy by Jin Yong. It is great to see the story depicted in a different perspective.

 Under One Person (Hitori no Shita: The Outcast)

A rather darker approach among the wide range of Chinese action anime. Hitori no Shita: The Outcast which had been released in Japanese too is quite a peculiar anime to watch equipped with heavy dosage of dark humor and exciting actions. It's 3rd season is scheduled to air this 2019.

Spirit Realm franchise

It may sound ordinary especially with its generic plot and widely used theme, this Chinese anime find a refuge on its decent animations and visual designs.

Way of Choices (Ze Tian Ji)

An exciting and fun-filled anime, Way of Choices is an exuberant adventure Chinese anime with good narration and pretty decent visuals.

Rakshasa Street (Zhen Hun Jie)

If you like action-filled anime with good storyline, you'll definitely find this manhua very intriguing. In fact, this is a pretty solid Chinese anime with intense emotions that will drive you on the edge of your seats while watching the show. A possible setback on this anime is probably the language which could be easily get used too.

This anime is about the chivalrous journey that doesn't only give us actions and excitement but moral lessons at the same time. It is coated with Chinese philosophy which is brilliantly shown and executed in its story and plot.

The Legend of Qin or alson known as Qin's Moon is one of the biggest anime franchise in China with various animation series sprung out of it.
