10 Donghua & Anime Like Zhen Dao Ge (Song of the Broadsword)

A story of revenge set in Ancient China with plenty of wuxia fantasy elements, Zhen Dao Ge as a Chinese anime (donghua) is a pleasant adventure in the eyes despite how mediocre it may look at times. Coming from the relatively new studio, Infinity Animation, Zhen Dao Ge also known as Song of the Broadsword is the donghua that you need if you’re craving amazing fights and action.

The donghua was first released on February 5 until April 16, 2021 which run for 12 episodes with 16 minutes in length each. The original donghua revolves around a warrior who exacts vengeance against the people that murdered his family. While this story might sounds cliche, common and generic, the story is just the guide throughout the entire journey as the main dish from this series are the fight scenes.

Since its special episode, Zhen Dao Ge: Chenshi Hang is scheduled for release on February 1, 2022; many fans might be looking for similar stories to it while waiting for its return. Not to mention, that Zhen Dao Ge Season 2 had been previously announced too, albeit we haven’t heard new updates about it yet. This is a perfect opportunity to prepare for the special episode which is slated to run for 1 hour and 30 minutes duration, that’s as good as an entire movie.
