Donghua Guide: The Chinese Anime Releases in May 2021

Yu Alexius Ads (My Collections)

Hey guys, I am back for another monthly guide of Chinese anime releases, and this time I will be sharing all the Chinese anime slated for release this May. Had one of my followers from Facebook told me that it’s quite convenient to publish Chinese anime releases on a monthly basis compared to the quarterly seasonal lineup that we often get from Japanese anime.

Chinese Anime Releases in May 2021 Rakshasa Street Season 2 Anime

I think I have to agree with that as Chinese animation is quite different than those anime from Japan, first, the releases do not simply follow the four (4) seasons format at all, and the number of episodes is usually random. Sometimes, we get the standard 12 episodes, while most of the time we get irregular of 15 or 16 episodes, and sometimes, it’s only 8 episodes. While there’s also the series intended for long-run such as Soul Land, Wu Geng Ji, Legend of Qin, and a whole lot of 3D Chinese anime.

So, here I’ll be posting the Chinese anime releases in May 2021 and I will regularly update this article whenever we get some more news. As you might be familiar with, Chinese anime often announced their release date a few days or a week before the actual date, this leads many of the fans uninformed that their favorite series is airing. I remember in 2019, we get plenty of Chinese anime announced their release 2 or 3 days before – just like Mo Dao Zu Shi Season 2, and the Battle Through The Heavens Season 3. However, recently we seem to get enough time for it based on the schedule that bilibili did from their previous Chinese anime lineup for April 2021. I just wish that Tencent would do the same.
