The battle animations honestly give me a headache because of all of the colors and stuff, but you get the story even without watching the battles. The second season has the most tension compared to season 1 and some parts of the coming seasons. Some people may not like the animation and I do admit it can only appeal to a certain amount of people, but it is OUTSTANDING 3D work compared to Japanese 3D. (2 kings 4 bishops 3 rooks for one side, pawns in back row, pieces in possible the most impossible positions?)ĭefinitely a show you will enjoy more if you were dissatisfied by the manhua or read the novel and wanted to see a REAL adaptation. Somehow despite this I still enjoyed it but I'm not sure if that was because it was decent or because it was so bad I couldn't stop kinda like a car crash, you know you shouldn't watch but you do.Įxtra: sometimes there's scenes where they use chess as a visual representation of their "bigly" brain power but it's really awkward because whoever animated it doesn't know how to play chess. Some episodes I feel like I could of skipped reading subs and just guess what they're saying because they made 0 sense. I looked all over and they're all pretty bad, constantly changing names / translations calling male characters "granddaughter". If you can find a decent translation good luck. On the topic of time they also put in advertisements everywhere like ~6min 30 sec of every episode is just garbage you will skip and they're only 20 min episodes. There is a lot of wasted time on spirit summoning over and over every time they get into a fight with the same exact animation. (edit: you get some backstory around ep 80ish but only for Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing so yeah pretty late for that. This is more a problem with the pacing than the characters themselves since the backstory is better in the novel. I'm 50 ep in and I don't know anything about fatman, oscar,Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai etc. The characters are actually pretty good and are individuals but they have almost no backstory. They reuse the same grunts / sfx over and over which is really awkward and at times there is no bgm during parts so all your left with is these awkward grunts, like 3 grunts from 1 person within 2 seconds. I won't lie there are a few still shots that look nice but that's about it. at times like the characters hit a lag spike and become a slideshow. There is bad syncing of lips where at times you can't even tell who is speaking because nobodies mouth moves. I'm not kidding it looks like an xbox 360 game. This looks like it was animated by the same people that made the game Shenmue. If you like Xianxia you'll like the story. Read on for specifics.Ĭlassic Xianxia novel type stuff: OP MC can never lose (even to people almost double his level) and gets many power ups. TL DR This is objectively bad and I only recommend watching if you enjoyed the manhua / novel and want to see parts animated.
