Top Chinese Anime That Need Season 2 So Badly

Psychic Princess

It’s been years since the donghua ended, and it feels like fans had been waiting forever. How the romance of Ye Youming and Qian Yuxi develops is a must-watch for donghua viewers. Especially because the animation hasn’t even started to deliver some real romances between our two protagonists. Of all the donghua that I’ve seen so far, the Psychic Princess season 1 finale is the most frustrating as it feels like an unfinished show no matter how you look at it. The anime adaptation of the manhua ended with a cliffhanger, leaving fans wanting to know more about the story.

Hero Return

Despite the anime’s popularity among fans, the series only covered a small portion of the original source material, leaving many unresolved plot points and unanswered questions. Although, I must say that Hero Return donghua adaptation was able to fill the void that Psychic Princess was unable to do so as it gives us a climactic conclusion, which I think reminds me of One Punch-Man Season 1 finale. However, the source material has plenty to offer and fans sure are craving more.

Word of Honor

Jun You Yun anime

“Jun You Yun” (A Gentleman Says) follows four youths as they embark on a perilous journey to uncover their identities and become “junzi,” noble men of honor. They live and act with integrity, upholding justice and honor in the martial world. The series was one of the best Chinese anime of 2022 and brought a new flavor to the Chinese wuxia genre in donghua style. While it was able to give us a decent finale, the story only left us all wanting more, as it makes us want to delve into its exciting and intriguing history.

The Young Brewmaster’s Adventure

From the same universe as Word of Honor but from a different timeline and era, The Young Brewmaster’s Adventure is the low-key soft bromance that we could ever have from a Chinese anime this 2022. Quite similar to Word of Honor, this donghua offers an action-packed adventure but it does leave many plot points leaving fans wanting to know more about the story.

God of Deception

God of Deception follows Lian En, a lying god who has earned bad karma. His fate takes a turn when he meets a high school student who changes his life. Now, I must say that is a donghua that many viewers may not be quite familiar with, I bet they may never be heard of it. But it sits alongside some of the popular donghua that aired in 2020 such as Fairies Albums and The Daily Life of the Immortal King. Now, it also ends rather abruptly so we wish it’ll be given a chance to return and continue its story.

Dragon Raja

Dragon Raja Anime

Dragon Raja is a Chinese anime that features an immersive storyline based on a popular novel by Jiang Nan. It revolves around the lives of super-powered individuals who are trying to uncover the mysteries of their past and their connection to a world-threatening force. While the first season was well-received, it left many unresolved plot points, leaving fans eagerly anticipating a second season to bring closure to the story.

Dragon’s Disciple

Dragon’s Disciple follows the journey of a righteous youth who starts his martial arts training under the guidance of a National Martial Arts Master. The series showcases how he becomes invincible and goes beyond his limits with time, making traditional martial arts popular again while promoting righteousness. The anime needs a second season to continue the journey of the protagonist and to provide a more satisfying conclusion to the story.

Planting Manual

Planting Manual follows the journey of Yuan Ding as he collects demon spirits. The anime revolves around his quest and the adventures he embarks on to collect these spirits. Now, this donghua that aired in 2020 rather left us all with a huge cliffhanger which makes us all excited to see how Yuan Ding will continue his journey of collecting demon spirits while knowing that these spirits died of tragic deaths.

Along the way, he discovers a mysterious city and a hidden power that can change the course of history. Xia Feng must fight against his enemies and uncover the secrets of the past to save the world. The anime needs a sequel as it ended on a cliffhanger, leaving several unanswered questions and unresolved plot points that need to be addressed.

“Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire” is a Chinese anime set in a world where a small percentage of people have special abilities that normal humans do not possess. The Deviant Control Office keeps these abilities in check, but some want to use their powers to gain more control. The story follows a group of characters who are caught in the middle of this conflict and must navigate their way through the dangers of this world.

Adapted from a novel by Priest, this BL donghua leaves so many things to crave as the story concludes.
