10 Chinese Anime Like Soul of Soldier Master (Bing Zhu Qi Hun)

bl-anime-psychoweird

The Soul of Soldier Master is a new donghua from Bilibili this 2022 and I think that it is quite underrated despite how exciting it can be at times and still displays superior storytelling and animation than our average Chinese anime out there.

The Soul of Soldier Master donghua

The donghua was first released on January 4, 2022 as one of Bilibili’s earliest releases of the year and it brought so much promise with its fantasy and action antics, and a bit of everything Chinese that we often get from most of any donghua – wuxia and xinxia.

Synopsis

When Li Shi was born, strange cosmic phenomena occurred and he became a vessel that held the soul fragment of the Master of Weapons. He was hunted by all the clans in the world because of it. Later, he decided to enter a clan to train and find the enemies who tried to kill him and his parents. He accidentally discovered Bai Xiang, a demon tribe formation master from the Hou Clan, who wanted to eat the various tribes of the Mountains and Seas. Ying Gou helped with the test of formation. A conspiracy was about to unfold in the city of Linhai.

Donghua Like Soul of Soldier Master (Bing Zhu Qi Hun)

In line with this, many donghua viewers are actually searching or looking for some more titles that are similar to Soul of Soldier Master which actually surprised me quite a bit too since I thought, there are only a few of us who appreciates it. But it feels great to see some more fans on different donghua threads and forums asking for recommendations on similar donghua like Soul of Soldier Master, thus, I am also glad to present this list to you.

Sky Wall

Also known as Tian Yi Que, this is another upcoming donghua from Bilibili and has been listed as part of their 2022 lineup along with the Soul of Soldier Master. It is animated by Original Dream animation studio and is another cultivation story with all the common tropes and antics of a Chinese fantasy anime.

Synopsis

The ancestors established the Zhengyu Dynasty through the power of the four gods, isolated evil things, and ensured the stability and prosperity of the people on one side. But the cultivators who pursued the way of heaven discovered this secret and did not hesitate to break the imprisonment for the pursuit of the way of heaven. A serious question is placed in front of the world: Can the pursuit of the Way of Heaven be above the rest of the world?

Just like Legend of Shu and Soul of Solider Master, this is a fantasy and adventure donghua with every bit of a politics and conspiracy involved, with magic and swords on the surface.

Word of Honor

The recently release donghua from Bilibili, Jun You Yun is next on our list and gives off the same vibes as Soul of Soldier Master in many ways.

The Island of Siliang

The gorgeous donghua from Year Young Culture, Juan Siliang is one of my best Chinese anime of 2021 and still an appetizing series to watch for new people who seek quality in Chinese animation.

A story about gods and immortals who had sinned in the past being trapped on a prison island called Siliang, and the involvement of human beings with them is an exciting story to follow as they struggle to seek freedom while also dealing with their own demons and the power struggles between various factions within the kingdom, and the quest for the truth by main characters are all spectacles worth-watching from start until the end.

Throne of Seal

Shen Yin Wangzuo is the latest donghua from Tang Jia San Shao and Tencent Penguin Pictures, and it is animated by Shenman Entertainment. The donghua was released last April 28, 2022 and follows similar antics to many of the stories written by Tang Jia San Shao such as Soul Land, and The Magic Chef of Fire and Ice.

Throne of Seal donghua

It is more of a wuxia than a xinxia but still highlights cultivation antics as our righteous main character aims to protect humanity from extinction while also having to deal with the usual coming-of-age tropes such as romance itself.

Synopsis

While the demons were rising, mankind was about to become extinct. Six temples rose and protected the last of mankind. A young boy joins the temple as a knight to save his mother. During his journey of wonders and mischief in the world of temples and demons, will he be able to ascend to become the strongest knight and inherit the throne?

The action donghua was animated by Painted Edge animation and produced by Bilibili with BeDream.
