Where to watch donghua in France
Finding a legal version of a donghua is not always easy: major Chinese series reach French platforms only slowly. Here is, title by title, where to watch the donghua in our catalogue in France, followed by the official Chinese platforms that stream the rest internationally.

Not yet in France: the official platforms
Many major donghua do not have a French distributor yet. They remain legally available on the Chinese platforms that produce them, in their international versions. Expect English subtitles in most cases, sometimes other languages, and access that varies by title.
WeTV
WeTV is Tencent Video's international platform. It streams most of the big 3D series (Soul Land, Perfect World, Battle Through the Heavens…), usually with English subtitles. Part of it is free; the latest episodes are for subscribers.
YouTube · Tencent Video Animation
Tencent Video's official YouTube channel posts episodes of several series for free, with subtitles in several languages ("MULTI SUB"). The newest episodes are often members-only.
Bilibili (bilibili.tv)
Bilibili, the platform behind Link Click and A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, streams part of its catalogue internationally on bilibili.tv, with English subtitles.
iQIYI (iq.com)
iQIYI streams its own series, such as Against the Gods and The Great Ruler, on its international platform iq.com.
Youku
Youku, Alibaba's platform, streams its series internationally on youku.tv and on its YouTube channel.
Films not available in France
These films were released in Chinese cinemas but are not available on any French platform for now.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I legally watch donghua with French subtitles?
In France, Crunchyroll offers the most donghua with French subtitles, ahead of Netflix and ADN. For series missing from these catalogues, the official Chinese platforms (WeTV, Bilibili, iQIYI, Youku) stream them internationally, mostly with English subtitles.
Why are so many donghua unavailable in France?
The rights to Chinese series are held by the platforms that produce them (Tencent, Bilibili, iQIYI, Youku). They sell few licences abroad and prefer to stream internationally themselves. Only a few series, often the most popular, reach Crunchyroll, Netflix or ADN.
Are there donghua dubbed in French?
Yes, but they are rare. A few series and films on Netflix or Crunchyroll have a French dub. The vast majority of donghua exist only in the original version with subtitles.
Are unofficial streaming sites a good idea?
No. They pay neither the studios nor the authors, they are often full of dangerous ads, and their subtitles vary in quality. Watching on official platforms, even free ones with ads, also helps convince distributors to buy more donghua for France.
Is this information up to date?
French offers are checked on JustWatch France, which tracks platform catalogues. They change often: the date of the last check is shown at the top of the page and on each title page.
