Season 1

Ling Cage (灵笼, 2019), Season 1 is a Chinese sci-fi animated series you can watch online on iFILM — twelve episodes that open a bleak post-apocalyptic world.

The setup sits in the near future. Decades of geological upheaval, triggered when the Moon drifted off its orbit, have all but wiped humanity out. The survivors claw their way up from the ruins onto an earth that feels familiar and utterly alien at once. Nature has rewritten its own rules. The first season builds that survival framework and asks a single hard question: are people still the masters of anything here?

This donghua from Next Animation leans into grim atmosphere and heavy worldbuilding rather than easy answers. It suits viewers who like adult Asian animation and grounded dystopian sci-fi. Stream Ling Cage Season 1 online on iFILM.
