Chinese/Korean Anime Recommendations
So, i saw that there are chinese and also korean anime. I wanted to know if some of you guys have some good recommendations for me.
Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
This is an american cartoon
There are things like the The Legend of Qin, but then, almost everything is unavailable in English or any other non-Asian language to start with. Korean animation is often featured in hybrid works with American (and occasionally European) works, like Jackie Chan Adventures, Avatar and others. If you see an "American show" that looks animeish, it is highly likely that Koreans helped or made most of the animation.
But then, the shows that are written and directed by Koreans and produced by Koreans are very few to start with, and most of them never gets out from the country. Korean to English translators are extremely very few and most dedicate their time to translate the more popular webtoons and live show Korean dramas.
Then you have the case for the Chinese animation. China produces A LOT of animation, more than any other country in the world, but most studios focus on children programs for babies and are of subpar quality. It is funny, because most animation watchers on China are adolescents and young adults like it is in the case of Japan. Anyway, despite that you still have some shows that are aimed for more grown up kids or adolescents, just not many at all and most of them are never aired outside China or its neighbors for lack of capital, too. As for the translators comes, I just don't know. Japanese anime is a lot more popular in China than Chinese animation though, and there is a vibrant community translating from Japanese to Chinese, though not vice-versa.
Korean:
- Aachi wa ssipak: Poop is valuable. If you poop you get drugs. Aachi and Ssipak try to protect a girl who poops a lot
- Leafie, A Hen into the Wild: A duck story
- Oseam: A heart touching movie about a boy and his blind sister being raised by a monk
- The King of the Pigs: 2 messed up men have a small reunion to reminisce about the messed up shit they did in the past
- The Fake: It's about cults
Chinese:
- Monkey King: Hero Is Back: The animation is nice
Korean and Chinese animations aren't that easy to get and if you do find them it's unlikely they're translated.
I suggest you look for mangas (Manhwa and Manhua) as there’s more variety and many works have been translated to English.
For anime I know these
- Wonderful Days
- Cheonnyeon-yeowoo Yeowoobi
- Track City
- Mo Dao Zu Shi
- Tong Ling Fei
- The Emperor's Strategy
- Douluo Dalu (still airing)
- Whitted NIghttime
- The King's Avatar (second season is coming this year)
- Yobi, the Nine-Taild Fox (korean)
- Protectors of the Universe (korean)
Definitely Mo Dao Zu Shi! It's a great anime set in an alternate (more fantasy) Ancient China.
To be honest, compared to anime there are not that many good ones, I´ll just post what I watched... can't promise quality.
- Quanzhi Gaoshou (about how a pro gaming team is created from almost scratch)
The Kings Avatar - Zhen Hun Jie (supernatural story about a part of the world that only certain people can enter. it got weird fast but was kind of decent.)
Zhen Hun Jie - Xian Wang De Ri Chang Sheng Huo (ehh it was ok)
Xian Wang De Ri Chang Sheng Huo - Meng Qi Shi Shen (ok-ish shojo isekai about a cooking genius in another world - just don´t ever read the novel... it's seriously ... a bad idea)
Meng Qi Shi Shen - Mo Dao Zu Shi (if you don't mind BL vibes then this will turn out to be decent)
Mo Dao Zu Shi - Spiritpact (more BL and not as good as Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Spiritpact
And I suppose Tower of God which is airing right now... because the source material is korean, japan adapted it to anime thou.
Kami no Tou Tower of God- Quanzhi Gaoshou (about how a pro gaming team is created from almost scratch)
