This is what I did to generate this list (you can generate a similar list or get the full list by heading over to Hacking Chinese Resources yourself): Here, вЂњresource collectionвЂќ means a site that offers a large number of episodes or shows, so each of these potentially offer hundreds or even thousands of hours of material!
