Do you still remember the feast of "the rise of Chinese comics" last year? From "Fog Mountain Five Elements" to "The Immortal Cultivation of a Mortal", from "Star Martial God Technique" to "The Cage of Spirits", a large number of high-quality Chinese comics have dominated the screen, which can be said to be a double harvest of quality and quantity. And this year, the Chinese comics craze continues. This article has counted down the 19 most anticipated new Chinese comics in 2024. See if there is one you like?

1. "Xian Ni"

As we all know, the theme of cultivating immortals has always been the highlight of Chinese comics. When it comes to the best immortal cultivation series in recent years, "Xian Ni" is definitely among the best. This work is known for its ups and downs of the plot, smooth and compact rhythm, and delicate and beautiful pictures. It can be said that it is unique among the same type of series. It is reported that the second season is already in production, and it is believed that it will bring more surprises to the audience.

2. A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

"A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" is a breath of fresh air in the immortal cultivation series. Unlike other protagonists who often ascend to become immortals, the male protagonist Han Li is a real "mortal" who takes one step at a time and relies on his own efforts to overcome obstacles on the road to immortal cultivation. Despite the bumps and bruises, his spirit of never giving up is really moving. I hope he can reach a higher level in the second season.

3. Zhu Xian

"Zhu Xian", adapted from the novel of the same name, is set in an imaginary prehistoric world and tells the story of Zhang Xiaofan's transformation from a good-for-nothing to a legend in the immortal world. Although the male protagonist's performance in the first season was mediocre, the setting of "the lover's sacrifice to heaven has boundless magical power" laid the groundwork for a reversal. Many fans of the original novel said that if the animation can restore the thrilling battle scenes in the novel in the later stage, it will surely trigger a second season.

4. "The Great Lord Year"

After three years of polishing, the first season of "The Great Lord" finally arrived as scheduled. This novel IP can be said to be an evergreen in the adaptation of Chinese comics, and there have been many versions before. As the name suggests, "annual series" means a series with a longer production cycle and longer duration, so the audience has high expectations for it. At present, the reputation of the first season is good, and the picture quality is comparable to "Fights Break Sphere", which is worth following.

5. "Brother, Brother"

Among all the gloomy dramas, the appearance of "Brother, Brother" is undoubtedly eye-catching. This work is subversive, the overall tone is light and funny, and the character setting is also contrary to the traditional cute style. But besides the joy, it does not slack off in its portrayal of the world of cultivation. The male protagonist Xuan Hong seems to be naughty, but in fact he has special skills; the female protagonist is cute and adorable, but her cultivation should not be underestimated. I hope this anti-routine can go further.

6. "The Hidden Sect Master"

If you are used to watching stories about geniuses and strong men, you might want to try "The Hidden Sect Master" for a change. Although the hero is just a mortal with no cultivation, he accidentally becomes the master of a top sect. With the help of several powerful disciples, he can also maneuver in the world of immortal cultivation. This kind of storyline of the weak defeating the strong and winning with wisdom is quite innovative and I believe it will bring more joy to the audience.

7. "Cang Yuan Tu"

Adapted from He Tu's novel of the same name, "Cang Yuan Tu" tells the story of Qin Sheng, a young man with amnesia, who embarks on a journey of cultivation to explore the mystery of his past life with the help of a mysterious scroll. The plot of the first season was full of ups and downs, and the emotional scenes were just right. The scene where Qin Sheng and Jing Jiu confessed their love made countless viewers cry. I believe that in the second season, they will be able to overcome obstacles and finally become a couple.

8. Spirit Cage

After four years, the conscientious Chinese comic "Tower of God" has finally regrouped and returned with its second season. This sci-fi Chinese comic is known for its Gothic steampunk style, and both the characters and scenes are full of a strong dark atmosphere. As the plot progresses, it gradually reveals a large-scale and large-scale worldview. Especially the last three episodes, which can be called a stroke of genius. The shocking scene of the "conferring the gods" battle is still unforgettable.

9. "Thoughts and Concerns"

Romance has always been a shortcoming in Chinese comics, and the appearance of "The Love of Love" has undoubtedly filled this gap. As a romantic comic, it does not use the common urban background, but places the love story in an imaginary world of cultivation. The emotional drama between the male and female protagonists is very immersive, and the plot development is also quite tortuous. In contrast, the production team also worked hard on the carving of the picture, and the details of the character portrayal are remarkable.

10. "The God of Refinement"

"The Refinement of God" can be said to be a dark horse. Compared with several other popular IPs, it is not very famous. But with the update of the series, it has successfully attracted a large number of viewers with its excellent production and attractive plot. Especially the transformation process of the male protagonist, from an unknown loser to a powerful master step by step, is exciting to watch. And the female protagonists have their own characteristics, which also adds a lot of highlights to the crew.

11. "Eternal Myth"

There are not many Chinese anime harem series, and "The Eternal Myth" is an excellent representative of this type. The male protagonist Dongfang Qingmu was originally an ordinary person on modern Earth, but he traveled to the world of immortal cultivation due to a blessing in disguise. Here, he relied on his wisdom and courage to win the hearts of many beautiful women. Although some of the plots are a bit cliché, the characters are vividly portrayed and the emotional scenes are also very exciting. It is a rare fast food work.

12. "One Thought Eternal"

"One Thought Eternal" is an absolutely invincible drama. The hero Bai Xiaochun is very talented, but because he went astray, he once became the laughing stock of his fellow disciples. Until a certain adventure, his life was completely changed. From then on, Bai Xiaochun started his road to counterattack, fighting against hundreds of people alone, and traversing the three realms. If you like cool stories, this drama is definitely not to be missed.

13. Super Seminary

When it comes to the most influential works in the history of Chinese comics, "Super Seminary" is definitely on the list. Although it has stopped updating, it still has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of many viewers. "Super Seminary" combines science fiction, mecha, cultivation and other elements together to construct a huge and interesting world view. Even from the perspective of battle scenes alone, its brilliance is far superior to other animations of the same period.

14. Song of Youth

As the name suggests, "Song of Youth" is a typical hot-blooded adventure series. The story takes place in the fictional Yaoguang Continent, telling the story of several young men, led by Feng Qingyang, who embark on an adventure to protect world peace. In addition to the ups and downs of the plot, the work also has a very outstanding production level. Whether it is the character modeling or the battle scenes, they are all remarkable. Especially the ED song, which has been well received.

15. "Full-time Mage"

There are not many Chinese magic shows, but "Full-time Mage" is an exception. This work is set in an imaginary magic world and tells the story of the protagonist Mo Fan's growth from an ordinary person to a great magician. Although some of the plots are a bit old-fashioned, the rhythm is brisk and the characterization is well done. The most impressive thing is the imaginative magic battle scenes. I believe that viewers who are interested in magic themes will not be disappointed.

16. Martial Universe

As novel adaptations, "Martial Universe" and "Legend of Wu Geng" were released almost at the same time, so they are often confused by the audience. However, as the plot progresses, the difference in style between the two becomes more and more obvious. Compared with the heavy epic feeling of "Legend of Wu Geng", "Martial Universe" focuses more on the description of personal struggle. It focuses on the growth process of the male protagonist Lin Dong and creates a martial arts hero with a strong sense of the rivers and lakes. If you like martial arts stories of revenge, you might as well give it a try.

17. Lord of the Snow Eagle

"Lord of the Snow Eagle" is a typical drama about upgrading. It does not set up too many plots of power struggle, but focuses on the cultivation process of the male protagonist Dong Bo Xue Ying. From being unknown at the beginning to dominating the world later, Dong Bo Xue Ying's growth experience is very moving. Of course, fighting side by side with him, there are also a group of beautiful assistants. Especially the housekeeper Hu Qingniu, she is the highlight of the whole drama. Her tough and hot-tempered character adds a lot of highlights to this work.

18. The Endless Journey to Eternal Life

"The Endless Journey of Eternal Life" can be said to be the best footnote to "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Each Showing Their Magical Powers". As a Chinese comic based on Taoist mythology, it portrays eight immortals with different personalities. Among them, Mai Bu He is the most eye-catching. This powerful person at the level of a flying immortal has an arrogant and unruly personality and never does things according to common sense. But it is his eccentricity that brings countless jokes to the show. I believe that his "unethical" style of doing things will leave a deep impression on you.

19. Song of the Pillow Sword

Martial arts have always been an important theme of Chinese comics, and "The Song of the Pillow Sword" is undoubtedly a leader in this genre in recent years. As a serious martial arts series, it does not have any gimmicks of time travel or cheating, but tells the legendary life of a man of the rivers and lakes. The martial arts scenes in the whole film are very well designed, and both the moves and the shots are remarkable. At the same time, the script also portrays the characters very delicately, interweaving the love between men and women and the grievances of the rivers and lakes, which is quite meaningful.

The above are the 19 new Chinese comics that are worth looking forward to in 2024. Of course, in addition to these, there are many excellent animations that will also meet the audience this year. Which one do you like best? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area!
