Chinese entertainment on the go

With a generous selection of Chinese multimedia and entertainment, the YOUKU-Drama, Film, Show, Anime app is the perfect bet if you are looking for something new. Previously only available in China, it is now accessible internationally—users can use it for free or pay the VIP subscription fee.

Either way, it is worth giving a shot since the app boasts a ton of content you may not find anywhere else. More or less a Chinese counterpart of YouTube and Dailymotion, YOUKU-Drama, Film, Show, Anime is a streaming platform packed with exclusive content, movies, shows, and more.

A large library filled with Chinese media

Since its main focus is the Chinese market, YOUKU-Drama, Film, Show, Anime’s selection of media is remarkably full of movies and shows in the Chinese language. Unlike its competitors, it does not focus on short clips—its offerings are predominantly in longer form. The user interface is also easy to navigate, with a search bar at the top and the most trending releases right below.

If the user has not availed of the VIP subscription, they will have to sit through ads while enjoying a video. However, since the app’s library of media is filled with Chinese shows and movies, it is definitely not for fans of Western media. Although, if you are keen on brushing up on your Mandarin and learning more about Chinese culture, then this app is perfect for you.

Another aspect that sets this app apart from its competitors is how business-friendly it can get. Features that can help generate engagement with users toward products are integrated into the app, such as poll and online store creation, promo video creation, and more. Advertisers can pair their products with a video and have any user buy it directly from the app—no redirection is necessary.

More catered to Chinese users

In a nutshell, YOUKU-Drama, Film, Show, Anime strikes a great balance between catering to its users and advertisers’ needs. On one hand, it offers a generous selection of high-quality Chinese movies and shows, while on the other it provides advertisers with an easily accessible platform to sell products on. Unfortunately, non-fans of Chinese media will probably not find content that interests them in the app.
