Alright, I know I am not the only one who are craving to see all the information about a Chinese anime in one place altogether although, we have My Anime List, Anime-Planet, and Ani List as top sources for the English-speaking world when it comes to Chinese animation, majority of the sources about it were still in Chinese websites such as Bilibili, etc. However, I have found this website called V2Anime and listed Chinese anime series and movies in seasonal formats on a yearly basis. With this interface, it is easier for people to learn about which Chinese anime aired or released in a given year and what season, what are the contemporary series that aired on the same year as them.
In line with this, I have listed the Chineseanime series and movies by the year they had released in the following format as follows for everybody’s reference as shown below. I have sorted the list from the current oldest up to the latest (2000 – 2019) Chinese anime releases, and also included the upcoming confirmed releases on 2020 and even in 2021 as a short sneak peeks into it.
