10 Donghua and Anime Like Rakshasa Street

Imagine getting dragged into the vicious yet exciting world of the supernaturals? If that is the case, you might as well share the same fate with Xia Ling, a normal university intern who one day stumbled upon the legendary Rakshasa Street and her life had never been the same since then.

Donghua & Anime Like Rakshasa Street

Well, Rakshasa Street is the donghua that had been on the frontline of Chinese animation when its resurgence started in 2016. Along with Fox Spirit Matchmaker and The King’s Avatar, the donghua had been a gateway series to many long-time fans and avid viewers of Chinese animation through all these years, and that includes yours truly.

After all these years, the series is still active as it has its 2nd season aired last year and a 3rd season had been already greenlit by Bilibili as part of their 2022-2023 donghua lineup. And if you also wish to discover more donghua or anime like Rakshasa Street, then you might want to scroll further down and check out our list of recommendations below.

Shaman King

SHAMAN KING

First on our list is one of the beloved shounen anime, Shaman King which shares similar antics to Rakshasa Street from having summoned spirits acting as their guardian.
