What Are Your Thoughts on Donghua (Chinese Anime)?
I think they’re slowly producing works that are on par if not better than some anime. Overall they still don’t have the same quality as Anime, but they’re good enough to be enjoyable.
What they bring in the scene is the great stories adapted or inspired from the plethora of novels Chinese authors write. Particularly the cultivation stuff.
Some noteworthy Donghua I’ve liked were Link Click and Daily Life of the Immortal King.
What I don’t like about Donghua is they’re dubbing. I don’t know if it’s just the tone of chinese in general, or they don’t have good enough voice acting industry yet, but chinese dub irks me in a way that the japanese dub never did. I’ve put off a lot of Donghua because of the chinese dub, I remember watching Link Click on japanese dub instead.
That the only one that I’ve watched was Yaoguai Mingdan / Monster List. Rather low production value; frankly it left me disappointed because I read the manhua and I think that the story deserved something better. (I wish that they adapted The Fairy Captivity and My Wife is the Demon Queen, but I lost my hopes as both manhua series were finished and nothing popped up.)
Voice acting was weak IMO, too - a bit too emotionless.

I’ve watched those you talked about but I wasn’t impressed by either, I’m more of a slice of life guy.
Tell me when they make an adaptation of My Wife Is From a Thousand Years Ago. That one I would watch.
My only exposure to Chinese animation is Wolf Smoke Studio. Top tier quality, and I really like their style and everything else.
