Chang Ge Xing

Shortly after astrology predicts destruction to befall the Tang Dynasty, a coup d'état led by the crown prince Li's very own brother kills him and his wife and sons. Li's daughter, princess Yongning, manages to escape, but is soon declared dead alongside her family. Full of wrath, the princess swears to avenge them as she takes on the identity of a young man, Li Chang Ge, and moves to the Shou province to advance her goals.

Li Chang Ge uses her wits to gain the trust of the Shou emperor and swiftly climbs the military ranks as a brilliant strategist. Captivatingly drawn, Song of the Long March portrays the feisty girl's adolescent journey toward countless unknown adventures, faithful comradeship, as well as formidable enmity awaiting her along the way.

Preliminary (6/? eps)

Chang Ge Xing/The Legend of Princess Chang-Ge is a donghua, or Chinese anime, based on the manhua Song of the Long March. The plot involves a princess who seeks to avenge the deaths of the rest of her family. If you are familiar with Yona of the Dawn, then the premise should be somewhat familiar. Historical dramas are extremely common among Chinese media. However, this one stands out among the rest for its protagonist. Li Chang Ge is a very cunning and calculated character, and she makes for a great female lead. The animation is a 3D style that I cannot describe extremely well. I'd ... say it's almost a Pixar-like style with an Asian twist. It looks a lot better than something from Polygon Pictures but may still be a bit off-putting to new viewers. The last thing worth mentioning is that the opening and ending sequences are rather long, which is normal for Chinese media. Hence, the episode lengths are not reflective of the actual runtime. All in all, I think Chang Ge Xing is definitely a show worth checking out. I can foresee it being talked about with the likes of Quanzhi Gaoshou (The King's Avatar) and Shiguang Dailiren (Link Click) if the story continues to improve. Thanks for reading.
