Cultivation is a reoccuring theme which can be found in Xianxia/Xuanhuan, the extent varies

To be part of that list an anime (or donghua/aeni) needs:
-To be complete since at least 1 year.

-To not be in top 1000 popularity.
-To have a popularity rank 5 times as high as its scoring rank minimum.

Donghua is the term used to refer to animation produced in China, encompassing all animated works but specifically referring to Chinese animation. Donghua adapts manhua comics and is often associated with 3D CG animation, although it can also use more standard anime-style animation.

All entries are based on popularity, views (audience), rating, quality, and my opinion.

All donghua in this interest stack are considered above-average or top-tier, animation and/or story-wise.

Some donghua on this list have not been watched by me but are generally well received.

I have generally excluded donghua with low-quality graphics (budget), but I would like to mention that they are by no means bad.

~ Continuous update ~

All sorts of Chinese animes/3D series that is above overall 8 points, and should watch in my experience. Only the first seasons are included.

I am not a Chinese speaker, so all the series included has more or less decent English subtitles.

Shortcut to "cultivation" series: must watch; Fanren Xiu, Xian Ni and Dadao Chaotian

Anime where the main theme is about demons and hunting demons. Demons could be either literal demons, monsters, ghosts etc. where the main character's goal is to eliminate all existences of demons and monsters.

Anime where the main or sub-plot is about chasing revenge against an enemy, entity or group. This list contains a wide variety of different themes, genres and character tropes especially in the Chinese produced donghua but they all have elements that include revenge or fighting to gain information on a fallen loved one.
