Donghua or Chinese animation is never short when it comes to exciting action anime. In fact, they have pretty decent anime titles when it comes to action genre and some of these can actually fight head on with the quality of Japanese animation. Story-wise majority of Chinese anime have very similar plot which may sounds redundant however, there are tons of hidden gems that definitely deserves to be praise and acknowledged. A major example is The King's Avatar, and another one from my archives is Douluo Dalu or also known as Soul Land or Combat Continent.

Soul Land is a very entertaining Chinese anime with several key elements such as the typical Chinese stuffs and philosophies infused with foreign factors which makes the narrative an exciting adventure to follow. An action-fantasy Chinese anime that will leave you breathless mixed with interesting humors, solid emotional trance, and amazing fight scenes; Soul Land is a must-watch anime from wide-arrays of available donghua out there. 

What makes the entire story of Soul Land to be pretty interesting are the seven (7) key characters that comprised the Shrek Seven Devils, a group of spirit geniuses from the Shrek Academy. Among them is our protagonist Tang San, the deuteragonist Xiao Wu, and the rest of the gang: Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun.
