Which Donghua Adult Series Have English Subtitles?

Bright shout-out to anyone hunting donghua with English subs — I’ve dug through a bunch, so here’s a compact list plus where I usually find them. I tend to trust official uploads because the subtitles are cleaner and the creators get paid, and a few series I always point people to are: 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' (aka 'Grandmaster of demonic Cultivation') — dark, intense, and available with English subtitles through official streaming uploads; 'Heaven Official's Blessing' ('Tian Guan Ci Fu') — a gorgeous BL drama that has proper English subs on official channels; and 'Link Click' ('Shiguang Dailiren') — emotionally heavy time-bending mystery that shows up with English subtitles on official platforms.

Beyond those, check out 'Hitori no Shita: The Outcast' (often listed under its English title 'The Outcast') for grittier supernatural action, and 'Scissor Seven' for a more irreverent, adult-leaning comedy that Netflix has carried with English subtitle/dub options in many regions. My usual rule: start at the official uploader (Bilibili’s global channel, Netflix, Crunchyroll/Funimation where licensed) and look for the language menu — if English isn’t there, the show might still have fan subs floating around, but it’s nicer when studios provide them. I keep coming back to 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' and 'Heaven Official's Blessing' for drama and polish, they feel worth the hunt.

Quick, practical list from someone who binge-watches on weekends: if you want donghua with English subtitles, start with 'Heaven Official's Blessing', 'Mo Dao Zu Shi', and 'Link Click' — they’re the ones I’ve found consistently available with English subs on official channels. 'Hitori no Shita: The Outcast' is another solid bet for action-heavy mature content, and 'Scissor Seven' is a fun, more adult-skewing comedy that Netflix often carries with English subtitles.

My tip is to search official uploaders first (Bilibili international channel, Netflix, Crunchyroll/Funimation depending on the title) because subtitles are usually accurate and kept up-to-date. I tend to rewatch lines from 'Heaven Official's Blessing' a lot — the subtitles there helped me catch little emotional beats that weren’t obvious from visuals alone.

Alright, here’s a somewhat methodical rundown from someone who catalogues shows by vibe and subtitle availability. First, the emotionally mature dramas: 'Link Click' (time-manipulation, melancholy beats) and 'Heaven Official's Blessing' (romantic, slow-burn) typically have English subtitles on official uploads. These two are where subtitles matter a lot because nuance and poetic lines can get lost if the translation is sloppy.

Next, the darker/fantasy side: 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' (aka 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation') and 'Hitori no Shita: The Outcast' both carry heavier themes and are often posted with English subtitles on platforms that licensed them. For stylistic eye-candy and short-format spectacle, 'Fog Hill of Five Elements' and certain anthology shorts sometimes get subtitled uploads on YouTube or Bilibili’s international channel.

Finally, the tonal Outliers: 'Scissor Seven' — which Netflix has streamed with English subtitles/dubs — and 'The King’s Avatar' for techie-adult fandom energy. My workflow: check Bilibili first (official uploads include English on many titles), then Netflix/Crunchyroll/Funimation for region-licensed streams. If neither shows English, community subs can fill gaps, but watch for accuracy. Personally, I keep returning to 'Link Click' and 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' for rewatch value and subtitle fidelity.

I get a kick out of tracking down the more mature donghua that actually have English subtitles — it’s like treasure-hunting but with animation. A few reliable picks I point friends to: 'Mo Dao Zu Shi' for gothic fantasy and complex characters; 'Heaven Official's Blessing' for lush visuals and romance with proper English subs; 'Link Click' for tightly-written, adult-leaning mystery episodes. Those shows often appear with English subtitles on Bilibili’s international uploads, and sometimes on Netflix or Crunchyroll depending on licensing.

If you prefer action and bloodier scenes, 'Hitori no Shita: The Outcast' is usually subtitled in English on licensed streams. For something wild and comedic that still skews older, 'Scissor Seven' on Netflix is surprisingly satisfying. I also check fan communities and subtitle groups when official subs are slow, but I try to prioritize legal streams so creators benefit. Overall, start with Bilibili and Netflix and then branch out to licensed anime platforms — that keeps the subs accurate and the quality high, which I appreciate every time I rewatch a favorite scene.
