About AcFun
AcFun is a Chinese video-sharing platform whose official website, acfun.cn, specialises in ACG culture — animation, comics and games — and is known as the 'A Site' within China's youth community. It is one of the pioneering services for video with on-screen overlay comments, the danmaku format in which viewers' reactions scroll across the picture during playback.
Its offer, as described in the sources consulted, combines animation videos, gaming content, music and entertainment generated and shared by its users, community articles and a live-streaming service relaunched by the platform. AcFun keeps a niche community identity, with its own mascots and culture, distinct from the country's large generalist video platforms, and operates with its own brand and website within its group.
Its natural audience is young Chinese fans of anime, comics and video games who want to watch videos with real-time community participation and to share their own content. This listing is corroborated by sources that identify acfun.cn as its website, its headquarters in Beijing and its activity as an ACG video platform with danmaku comments.
