A Reddit user is asking for help identifying an old 3D tennis donghua they watched years ago on iQiYi or Funqing, featuring an overpowered protagonist whose tennis talent is discovered. The post highlights nostalgia for early Chinese 3D sports animation.
A Reddit user on r/Donghua posted a request to identify a tennis-themed donghua they recall watching years ago. They describe it as a 3D animation with an overpowered main character whose tennis talent is uncovered. The user suspects it was available on iQiYi or Funqing, streaming platforms for Chinese content.
This post reflects ongoing fan interest in donghua, particularly sports anime, and the difficulty of tracking down older titles. For TeaNovel readers who follow Chinese web novel adaptations into donghua, it underscores the demand for better archiving and discoverability of serialized Chinese animation, especially from platforms like iQiYi.
Sports donghua are relatively niche compared to cultivation or romance genres. Early 3D animation in China often had limited distribution, making old shows hard to find today.
