- Unlimited offline downloads: A single account can batch cache multiple long-running anime series, without official download limits.
- Faster startup response: Cold start loading time is shorter than the official client, eliminating long blank loading pages.
- Simplified comment control: Quick send and one-click clear screen buttons are located on the side of the playback interface, eliminating the need for multi-level menu navigation.
- Independent network buffer channel: In scenarios with unstable signals, such as subways and tunnels, video stuttering and loading loops are significantly reduced.
- Double-clicking the progress bar on the playback page allows you to quickly skip the intro and outro, eliminating the need to manually drag the progress bar.

- A unique AC-chan cartoon icon with a nosebleed effect on the desktop, distinct from the official red text icon, providing a fun and niche identifier.
- Fully retains all video resources from AcFun, including Chinese animation, Japanese animation, parody videos, game fan art, and short videos. The bullet comment interaction function is fully preserved.
- Streamlined software structure, removing irrelevant sections such as the store, paid activities, and live stream notifications, resulting in lower memory usage.
- Built-in complete ad-blocking mechanism, removing all pop-up ads, in-feed ads, and pause ads on playback pages.
- Includes automatic night mode switching logic, adjusting to the phone's system brightness to reduce eye strain during extended viewing.
User comments
I think I discovered this website, ACFun, after I started working. It has a huge library of great movies and anime, and I became completely hooked. I watched many of my favorite high-scoring suspense films that weren't released in China on ACFun, and the comments section was incredibly fun. With the comments as my shield, I was no longer afraid of sudden scary scenes. Perhaps I'll never see ACFun again, but I'll always remember the joy it brought me! Thank you!
As a once incredibly successful website, it's true that it's not as glamorous as it used to be, but the atmosphere within the site is fantastic. In fact, it's wonderful. It's even allowed certain content creators like "Backyard Garden" and "Live Streaming" to break away and establish their own platforms, using methods that AcFun wouldn't normally employ. There are always quirky and hilarious comments, as well as talented content creators. When difficulties arise, everyone actively helps and encourages each other. It's been wonderful to have used AcFun to get through unhappy times these past few years.
I've been using it for almost half a year now, initially because of my data-free downloads with my data plan. I'd also heard about it on other sites. After using it for so long, I think there's room for improvement in the bullet comment optimization, such as the display area and density. This would prevent the situation where the bullet comments are initially too dense to see when watching anime, but then feel empty when turned off.
Conclusion
AcFun Android is the official client of the website of the same name, a Chinese platform for sharing videos aimed at the otaku community. In fact, the website's name comes from "Anime, Comics and Fun" and spans the whole ACGN genre, that is, animation, comics, games, and novels.
