Quanzhi Gaoshou: Dianfeng Rongyao

Two years ago, Glory started out as just another MMORPG, but its real-world influence has grown as more countries begin to recognize esports as an official sport. Now, in China, arrangements are being made to hold the first professional league of Glory, culminating in the Glory Championship.

Friends Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu both aspire to make a career out of esports. However, due to personal reasons, Ye Qiu has been hesitant until now to chase his dream onto the national stage. When the two boys finally agree to form their own team, they are supported by Tao Xuan, their boss and the owner of Excellent Era internet cafe, after which they name their team. And so, Team Excellent Era sets their sights on defeating all opponents who stand in their way of reaching the ultimate summit of Glory.

The King's Avatar movie is a pretty enjoyable movie to watch. However, as a standalone movie, the shortcomings become to show, particularly in the story and character department.

Art: The art is beautiful, on par with some great Japanese anime. The animation, aside from the hit or miss parts before the final climax, is excellent as well. The final fight between the MC and the last opponent, especially, was godly.

Sound: The OST is pretty good as well. Especially on the final fight with, combined with the animation, makes it a great experience to watch.

Story: Now this is where the flaws begin. This story serves as a ... prequel before the entire main series. However, even then, the plot was rushed, especially since you're cramming a prequel novel into a 90 minutes movie. There's seem to be pretty rushed directing as well, since between the time of the team forming to the finals except for one point in between, it's just going to places to places. It's sufficient as a companion piece, but as a standalone, it fell short

Character: Likewise, because of how rushed the story was, the character development were rushed as well. Aside from MC, his best friend and the sister, the other characters' development were lacking. We didn't know much about them aside from the Spellblade guy.

Overall: Despite the shortcomings in the story and character department, plus some hit-or-miss animations before the finals, it's a very enjoyable movie to watch to fill in the time while waiting for Season 2.

My recommendation is watch at least Season 1 (and maybe the OVA) before jumping onto the movie.

It IS pretty fast paced, especially the training phase, which was kinda non existant. Regardless, the movie was still close to a masterpiece to me.
Compared to japanese animes I've watched the past years, this is on a totally different level. Having watched many chinese anime until now, I got used to how fast they feel, I have barely time to read the subtitles, which I never had a problem with before. Maybe to others, this adds to the already fast paced story on some parts.

Story: 9/10 I loved the story right from the beginning. I only feel it lacks a bit of interaction between the ... characters.

Art: 10/10 What else can I say. No 5 year olds that are actually 25 and no giant, wobbly boobies.

Sound: 10/10 Apart from the amazing soundtracks, the simple sound effects they use to dramatize a scene are something that doesn't even exist in japanese anime. They also added details to small things like the sound of their armor mid battle. Simply awesome!

Character: 8/10 Like other reviews already stated, due to the fast pace it's a bit hard to get to know the characters or add any real character development. Regardless, I liked the characters and the most important characters got enough love to grow to like them.

Enjoyment: 9/10 I watched it for the action, awesome animation and badass MC. And I got action, awesome animations and a badass MC!

Overall: 9/10 Apart from a few problems the show had, I loved it. There's no such sing as a "really perfect anime" every show has it's flaws somewhere and for me the flaws in this one were a minimum.

It was refreshing to see an anime stray from the cliche all animes are filled with nowadays. Because I'm already fed up with those.

It's pretty simple, though: If you came here for action, you will like this anime. If you came here for characters, their problems and development, you probably won't. But maybe give it a try anyway.

I thought this movie worked fine as an origin story. It's a pretty generic origin (tragic loss ignites motivation in the main character), but a basic premise is fine. The problem is the execution. They tried to fit what probably should 2-3 movies worth of content into just 1 and the pacing suffers because of it. Ye Xiu and his friend get decent development, but then it shifts into overdrive when they start forming/training their esports team. Many of the problems I had with original are present as well, one of them the lack of explanation of the game itself. A bunch of moves, tactics, ... transformations, apm metrics, etc., are displayed throughout the fights, but I have minimal context for what any of them mean. I kinda just have to turn off my brain and try to enjoy the clashing weapons and explosions. This issue compounded with Ye Xiu overwhelming talent compared to everyone else. All the tension is removed when you know he's going to win, and there's nothing else to pull your interest outside of visuals. Ye Xiu is also the only character who gets extensive development, making the majority of the side characters forgettable by comparision.

The visuals are still pretty good. I might not understand what's going on, but at least the fights look intense. Music was cheesy at times, but it fit well with what was going on. Voice acting was serviceable as well.

Overall, I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoyed the main series; not very much. Seeing what initially pushed Ye Xiu into esports was my only takeaway, the movie is still plagued with the issues that made the main series hard to sit through.
