Yo, fellow anime and donghua enthusiasts! Prepare yourselves for a mind-blowing trip to the East, because Chinese animation, aka donghua, is about to drop its hottest January lineup like a fiery wok-hei comet. We’re talking second seasons, ancient adventures, space exploration, and even an evil monarch (don’t worry, he’s probably charming). So, grab your virtual chopsticks, settle in for some serious binge-watching, and let’s dive into the Chinese anime schedule for January 2024!
Did you know that donghua boasts a history stretching back centuries? Talk about OG animation cred! While anime from across the Pacific might get most of the spotlight, China’s animation scene is exploding with creativity and stunning visuals. From breathtaking landscapes to epic fight scenes, donghua offers something for everyone, even the pickiest panda.
Chinese Anime Schedule | January 2024 Donghua Releases
Brainless Witch Season 2
Now, back to the future (well, January 2024)! Brainless Witch Season 2 blasts onto Bilibili on January 2nd, promising double the laughs, double the magic mayhem, and enough chaotic witchy goodness to power a thousand broomsticks! Remember our adorable, not-so-bright witch from the first season? Yeah, she’s back, and this time, her tears have brewed up a real cauldron of trouble. Apparently, losing something super important triggered a waterfall of woe, and guess what? It caught the attention of the Prince of Hell himself! Now, our hapless heroine is facing daily pandemonium of the highest order, with every attempt to control her waterworks leading to hilariously disastrous consequences. Think exploding potions, runaway familiars, and enough slapstick mishaps to fill a grimoire. Buckle up for Season 2, because this witch is about to take us on a whirlwind ride of tear-jerking laughter and magical misadventures you won’t want to miss!

Ancient Lords (Yishi Zhi Zun)
Craving some epic fantasy vibes with a twist? Buckle up for Ancient Lords on January 7th! Bilibili brings us a tale that’s more than just clashing swords and mystical powers – it’s a mind-bending odyssey through time itself! Meet Meng Qi, a dude with a serious case of “wants to be a dashing swordsman in white” syndrome. But fate, or rather, a mischievous ancient lord, has other plans. Our hero gets zapped into an epic time travel loop, becoming a world-renowned “mad monk holding a blade” in one life and who-knows-what in the next. This ain’t your typical martial arts romp; it’s a hilarious, trippy journey through the three realms with a surprisingly relatable hero at the helm. Prepare for breathtaking animation, intense battles (with healthy doses of head-scratching), and maybe even a tear or two when Meng Qi questions the very fabric of reality (again, not confirmed, but hey, existentialism in donghua? Sign me up!).
King of Glory (Wang Zhe Rong Yao: Rong Yao Zhi Zhang)
Calling all heroes! King of Glory crashes onto Tencent Video on January 13th, not just with epic battles and dazzling heroes, but with a soul-searching quest for what truly makes a legend. Prepare to witness stars shatter obstacles, embrace the burden of love and loyalty, and chase power with unwavering fire. This ain’t just an anime; it’s a symphony of courage, a tapestry of heroic lives, and a challenge to answer the call within. Sharpen your blades, anime warriors, the continent of kings awaits!
Chivalrous Hero Shen Jianxin Season 3 Part 2
Speaking of heroes, our boy Shen Jianxin is back for Chivalrous Hero Shen Jianxin Season 3 on January 26th! Bilibili’s got the hookup for this one, and let me tell you, Shen Jianxin is about to level up his chivalry tenfold. Expect even more martial arts mastery, hilarious misunderstandings, and maybe even a love triangle or two (because what’s a hero without some romantic drama, right?).
The Age of Cosmos Exploration (Da Yuzhou Shidai)
Now, brace yourselves for a cosmic leap, because on January 22nd, Tencent Video blasts us off with Age of Cosmos Exploration! Forget fluffy space operas, this donghua dives headfirst into the raw, untamed reality of space travel. No sugarcoating here, folks. The cosmos is a vast, uncaring abyss, brimming with darkness, danger, and the ever-present whisper of the unknown. But fear not, intrepid adventurers! Humanity’s spirit burns bright, fueled by an insatiable thirst for exploration and the unwavering belief that the stars, for all their terror, hold secrets worth dying for. Witness breathtaking vistas of swirling nebulas and desolate moons, buckle up for nail-biting encounters with alien entities (hostile or otherwise), and feel the pulse-pounding thrill of discovery as humanity boldly claims its place among the stars. Age of Cosmos Exploration isn’t just an anime; it’s a hymn to the human spirit, a testament to our audacious yearning to push beyond the boundaries of the known and embrace the terrifying, exhilarating beauty of the cosmos.
Otherworldly Evil Monarch (Yiren Jun Moxie)
And finally, for those who like their heroes with a touch of, well, villainy, we have Otherworldly Evil Monarch (Yiren Jun Moxie) premiering on January 24th. Don’t let the title fool you, this guy might be an evil monarch, but he’s also got charisma, cunning, and maybe even a hidden heart of gold (okay, maybe not gold, but maybe like, bronze? We’re still working on his moral compass). Bilibili’s got the deets on this one, so buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of anti-heroics and questionable decisions.
Remember, these are just the headliners! There’s a whole buffet of donghua goodness waiting to be devoured on various platforms like Tencent, Bilibili, Youku, and their affiliated channels. So, grab your friends, stock up on snacks (bubble tea is mandatory!), and get ready to experience the epicness that is the January 2024 Chinese anime schedule. Trust me, your inner anime geek will thank you later.
