Miscellany for the fellow trash enjoyers + other stuff besides the usual OPMC
Nothing stops them from doing what they do

Characters here usually (but not limited to):
* Give zero damns about nobody/Do what most lack the balls to (including you know...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))
* Will stop at no length to achieve their goals
* Are themselves (e.g. has a highly defining trait in the show/to viewers)
* Are OP (inc. charas extremely skilled in any field or all-capable), or have plot armor to the point it's silly

Gradually shuffling out harem & OPMCs in favour of variety/lesser known shows (There's another stack right there --> if you want that generic stuff)

Im new to this making an interest stack or writing reviews thing. But recently watched a boat load of Donghua (Chinese anime) in a very short time period. The CGI takes a little getting used to, but just like watching SUB, you barely remember what it was like before.

This stack is based on Action/Adventure/Fun Cultivation type Donghua. Its not something you really see in anime a lot so it came across as new for me and I deep dove into all the top ones I could find.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND! This is not for everyone. This is not a list where you'll find something you may like, no matter who you are. This is more like "if you love one or two of these, you'll very likely love the rest in the list" kind of thing.

Lastly. I don't actually remember if one is better than another (especially after so many countless episodes and seasons). I have a small list in my head that pops up when I think "cultivation Donghua I wish I could rewatch like I had never seen it before." Some start off slow but get interesting and some the opposite.

I can't tell you what to watch and I don't care if you didn't like it. I did. Don't judge me.

Anime that have a female main character that is strong. This can include: strong willed, an intellectual, physically strong, magically adept or a mix of those traits. Most of the time they are portrayed as mature and respectful.

These traits makes the character(s) heads above the average female portrayal in the anime medium.

For this list, the character[s} are:
-- Strong (of course)
and
-- A Woman (adult female / mature for their age teen)
and
-- A Main Character
or
-- Not main but appears often in the anime (not a one episode cameo character)

Please let me know if there are others out there that I have yet to have the pleasure of viewing, or left out by accident.

Thanks!

From Shoujo to Shounen, these are some pretty good isekai that I’ve gathered and enjoyed. There are some older pieces on here and some pretty niche things on here as well so I hope you guys can find something that you haven’t seen before. I have some anime that I’m anticipating as well so make sure to add them to your to watch list!

These are all Chinese animations that I’ve watched and loved, am currently watching, or am planning to watch. I hope you all find some shows you’ll like with this list. Some of these are my favorite series ever while others are just things I have an interest in. Enjoy!

Xianxia, directly translated to 'immortal heroes' comprises a number of popular genres including 'Cultivation', is a genre of Chinese fantasy heavily inspired by Taoism and influenced by Chinese mythology, Chan Buddhism, Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese folk religion, Chinese alchemy and other traditional Chinese elements.

Protagonists are usually "cultivators" who seek to become immortal beings called xian. Along the way, they attain eternal life, supernatural powers, and incredible levels of strength. The fictional cultivation practiced in xianxia is heavily based on the real-life meditation practice qigong.

The stories usually include elements such as gods, immortals, yaoguai, ghosts, monsters, magical treasures, immortal items, medicinal pills, and the like. They often take place in a "cultivation world" where cultivators engage in fierce and usually deadly struggles to acquire the resources they need to grow stronger. Oftentimes, the initial setting is reminiscent of ancient China, but the stories usually become cosmic in nature, with the protagonists attaining godlike abilities, sometimes creating their own planets, galaxies or universes. While the primary focus is action and adventure, there are also romance-heavy stories.

Description taken from the wikipedia page about Xianxia subgenre.

Donghua, literally meaning "moving pictures," refers to animation produced in China

This is a stack comprised of Chinese animation mainly in the Xinxia / Wuxia genres

Includes→
• Original Chinese anime.
• Anime based on manhua.

List of donghua I watched/follow, mostly CGI, that have gotten a rating of 7-9 from me.

I have watched all of them and even re-watched some several times, I vouch for these if you're interested in cultivation, fantasy, adventure, reincarnation.
There are 49 CGI donghua in this stack, and 48 are good quality CGI of decent length per episode, while Yao Shen Ji isn't exactly good quality, it's a decent story and in my opinion fun to watch. Da Wang Rao Ming is the only 2d animation in this list, I love the story and characters, it's also very fun to watch.

I've seen a few interest stacks about this genre but I wasn't satisfied with their list so I wanted to do my own.

Donghua refers to Chinese animated content, which can include TV series, films, and shorts. It's a term used to describe animation produced in China or by Chinese creators.Donghua is often compared to anime, which is Japanese animated content, but there are differences in style and storytelling. Donghua tends to have a realistic (3D) art style and often incorporates Chinese historical/cultural elements.

Some of the more popular Donghua titles include "Battle through the heavens," "Mo Dao Zu Shi," "Soul Land," etc.

This list is not exhaustive but offers the titles I thought were relevant to include (and that I enjoyed the most). hope this helps ! enjoy :)

I have amassed a repertoire of super binge-able shows which cannot be called "TRASH".

There may be some gems not on this list.

Yes the Main characters are probably overpowered but these do it the best,

This is the very pinnacle of the genre. Peak immersion.

Ranked from Best to worst.

I summarize the series, so bad seasons will tank the series.

JUST INCLUDING PIONEERING SEASON, BUT IT REPRESENTS ALL OF THE AVAILABLE SEASONS.

BUT WHERE? IS 2024 ones? WHY AREN'T THERE ALOT FROM 2024? This year had many recurring ones and the new ones were awful.

Not here? I haven't watched it or it's truly isekai trash.

I've Gathered some of the most underrated animes... Hope ya'll like it...

Some lesser known Chinese Anime I'm going to check out. Lesser known on MAL, some are popular on YouTube, like Perfect World has millions of views.
