The Rise of Chinese Anime!

By: Peggy Sue Wood | @pswediting

Hello, Everyone!

At Banzai Con 2025, I presented a panel on the rise of Chinese anime (donghua) both in the US and abroad. As usual, I forgot to make a post about the individual presentation!

While it’s shared in the pinned post (“The Editor’s Presentation”) on our blog, I’m working on being better about sharing my presentations through individual posts. So, if you’re interested, please check it out! As mentioned on other presentation shares, a copy of my script can be found in the notes section underneath each individual slide.

Panel Description: This panel will explore the unique characteristics of Chinese anime, how it differs from its Japanese counterparts, and the cultural influences that shape its narratives and aesthetics as we broaden our understanding and appreciation of anime as a global phenomenon!

Optional Formats: 30 min. Presentation | 60 min. Presentation

Presented: 

  • Banzai Con; Columbia, SC | March 2025

One thought on “The Rise of Chinese Anime!

  1. Yes, I discovered Donghua a few years ago, and some of it is really good. It has interesting stories that are pretty different from the standard Japanese anime and the animation quality can be very good.
