Everyone, put your hands together for Li Haoling—the creative force behind the hit donghua Link Click—who just earned the Outstanding Achievement Award from The IndieFEST for the series’ “Bridon Arc.”
The IndieFEST, an X (formerly Twitter) account focused on indie filmmaking, shared the announcement in a celebratory post:
恭喜 (Congrats!) to Outstanding Achievement Winner Haolin Li for his sensational series Link Click! A triumph in Chinese animation, fusing time-travel, emotional storytelling, great visuals and suspenseful twists. A sensation with 600+ million views.
Li Haoling wrote and directed Link Click, produced under Studio LAN with support from his own company, Haoliners Animation League. The first season aired in 2021 on Bilibili and Funimation, followed by a second season in 2023. The award-winning “Bridon Arc”—a six-episode prequel—aired from late 2024 to early 2025. A third season is already in the works and slated for release in 2026.
The story follows Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang, two young men who run the Moment of Time Photo Studio alongside their landlord and friend, Xiao Ling. Clients visit them to resolve deep regrets. Once a request is accepted, Cheng Xiaoshi travels into the past through a photograph, while Lu Guang ensures history stays on track. They get only one chance—and just 12 hours—to set things right.
Link Click continues to captivate audiences with its emotional storytelling, gorgeous animation, and thrilling plot twists. Fans can stream it now on Bilibili or Crunchyroll.
