Avatar: The Last Airbender

Technically, it is not an anime, but Avatar: The Last Airbender is an animated work and had been one of the best that we had seen outside of Japan. Story-wise, it has so many similarities with Fog Hill of Five Elements. In fact, many viewers had said that Fog Hill of Five Elements is like the Chinese counterpart of Avatar. The animated series revolves around people with special abilities to control the 4 elements, they are called the Benders, and above them, all is the one absolute power that can control all 4 elements and is called the Avatar. This follows the story of Aang, the Last Airbender, and his journey to becoming the destined Avatar of his generation.

A sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, albeit it took place several decades later with the birth of the new Avatar.

Alright, here we have a Chinese anime that aired in 2018 from 7doc animation studio. It follows the story of a group of warriors tasked to defeat the force behind a curse that befell their kingdom. A story of a fight that should be won at all costs.

Dragon Ball Super: Broly

One of the best anime movies of 2018 for me, if there’s anything that resembles Fog Hill of Five Elements from this anime, it’s intense fight scenes that look surreal and explosive from start to finish. Just like how Wen Ren Xu Yuan fought the Peacock Demon from Fog Hill of Five Elements, the combined forces of Goku and Vegeta to fight Broly caused so much explosion and for us shounen fans, it was such a great treat.

Fate/Stay Night: Heaven’s Feel

Alright, here’s the last route of the Fate/Stay Night anime series. It was divided into three films as a trilogy and if you’re simply looking for anime with the same quality as Fog Hill of Five Elements, look no more as this anime had so many great fights for you. They are all well-animated and as beautiful and action-packed as those that you can find from the donghua.

Fog Hill of Five Elements features a lot of martial arts fighting scenes and explosive encounters. Such feat also exists in another donghua and that is Hitori no Shita: The Outcast, probably one of the best 2D Chinese anime out there, and it highlights cultivation and martial arts along with its obnoxious comedic appeal.

No one can speak of Fog Hill of Five Elements without tagging along with the White Cat Legend or also known as the Dali Temple Log. The Chinese anime aired in April 2020 and was animated by Nice Boat Animation, the studio that co-produced Fog Hill of Five Elements along with Samsara Animation. There are fight scenes, there’s Chinese humor and crime-mystery thrill as well as the typical political intrigue that comes in your usual historical donghua. Furthermore, its climax in the 12th episode is directed by Lin Hun, so you’ll see some similarities in their fight scenes there.

Another action-packed anime on this list is Akudama Drive which is probably one of the best original anime in recent years. It’s also one of my best anime of 2020 finishing in 4th place.
