Animated dramas, motion comics and donghua
漫剧 (mànjù) are animated short dramas; 动态漫 (dòngtàimàn) are motion comics, drawn panels brought to life with voices and camera moves. Fans outside China often call all of them donghua. Some newer series are made with AI tools, and channels do not always say so.

Chinese voices, no subtitle track for YouTube to translate
Minute 10 of an animated drama. There is no subtitle track, so YouTube's auto-translate has nothing to offer. WatchTranslate listens to the voice acting and writes it in English.
- Narration and dialogue are both translated.
- Very long compilations work: subtitles follow you through ten-hour uploads.
- Keep the Chinese line to learn the words fans use, like 修炼 (cultivate).

What is the difference between 漫剧, 动态漫 and donghua?
漫剧 are animated short dramas and 动态漫 are motion comics, drawn panels with voices and camera moves. Donghua is the general word for Chinese animation; fans use it for all of them.
Why doesn't YouTube translate these videos?
They have no subtitle track to translate. WatchTranslate works from the voice acting instead.
Does it work on uploads that are many hours long?
Yes. The longest one here runs over ten hours; jump to any point and subtitles start there.
Some animated dramas are made with AI. Are they on this page?
AI-made animation can be, and channels do not always say so. We do not list AI videos made to look like real actors.
Can I start an animated series from a later season?
Yes. Uploads are often one season per video, written 第四季 for season 4. Open the season you want; subtitles do not depend on earlier ones.
Can I watch on my phone?
The extension runs on a computer. On a phone, use the WatchTranslate app for Android or iPhone and open YouTube in its built-in browser.
Are these channels connected to WatchTranslate?
No. These are uploads we tested; WatchTranslate is not affiliated with the channels or the studios.
