CGI this CGI that Complete and utter nonsense Cry more.. Complain about CGI? Watch this show For me the binge was truly effortless. I would start the episode a moment went by and the ED would start playing These were 1416 mins longexcl OPED. It just sucks you in. Im not lying when I say There is movie level animation every episode. The fight choreography in show is just incredible. Theres so much of it so expertly done its impossible to get bored. There is so much attention to detail. You will be amazed at how well they revere fighting styles and techniques. Have you ever sighed when watching the MC of your average show just effortlessly hack down giant powerful beasts in absolute impunity with the standard dumb as rock monster fight choreography? Me too... This show takes that boring garbage and throws it out the window with the most freakishly animated and intelligent monsters beasts and bandits you have ever seen Its a sight for sore eyes. These beasts are beyond ruthless no tea breaks you cant even breathe you make a single mistake you are instantly obliterated. Never have I seen animators respect every character whether beast or human so well everyone in this show is a threat. No one fights like an utter moron beasts will relentlessly attack their enemies overpowering them with strength with ample intelligence. The animation conveys strength and weakness so perfectly. Theres rarely any stopping to talk in fights breaking the captivation its so realistic. You will truly feel the struggle in the fights the soundtrack truly amps the stakes and theres no pointless timewasting in battle. The MC is a sight for sore eyes a lot of his character is shaped from his experiences. The author displays their wisdom and prudence theres great deal of understanding of human nature. Youll find yourself able to sympathize with both sides of every conflict. Theres no evil badguy just clashing desires and ideals. Chinese donghua usually do power scaling quite well however this show is a true distinction. It has probably the best powerscaling and progression Ive ever witnessed. Theres no plot armor they focus on whats important having a wellthought out tradeoff for many decisions taken. Many things are explained quite well I was rarely confused.Well unless youre not used to remembering the sea of Chinese names for the cast While death is abundant they keep the overall lethality of the cultivation skills quite low for this type of show heavily restricting the general scale of the powers. This remarkably does wonders for the immersion. The powers only get crazy at the very top and were still no where near destroying planets or evaporating the ocean. Every tool is used extensively and well is accounted for. One thing the show does best is that its very focused on its core purpose and story. It doesnt let the common editor tackon tropes overpower the story allowing the viewer to be engaged throughout. There arent any filler arcs or entire episodes wasted on gag characters pissing about. The characters are many but each are respected and are used masterfully. Notably Theyre not afraid kill them off for good reason however important they might be. All in all.... There might have been a single solitary arc i didnt enjoy the rest was wholly exhilarating. As with a lot of these donghua you actually learn something and gain some wisdom this one doesnt disappoint. Animation? Best out there. Go watch episode 2021 and tell me if youve seen much better out there. Characters? while fleeting they are well crafted. Story? Top tier. No faffing about no agendas just a damn good story. Sound? Top tier. Enjoyment? Best out there... 11/10 but you can only give 10. Just watch the whole thing including S1 and youll start talking like me if only all CGI could be like this. Ive never given a donghua a 10 but with this it was impossible not to. Simply incredible make haste and binge it. Hope this helps.
