| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Xie Lian as a bride is very beautiful x) I am pretty impressed with the adaptation so far, it's following the novel quite closely from what I remember, even with some details that I thought they'd skip. The pacing is good too. Hopefully the whole season will have this amazing quality! |

The pacing is good too. Hopefully the whole season will have this amazing quality! To be honest, I was not expecting the flashbacks that they showed in episode 1. It took me by surprise, and for those who have not read the novel, it's rather confusing. I am still reading it but am already past all they showed, so I was fine. But yes, the bridal scene was awesome. Here's to hoping they present it in a way where they don't confirm or deny their relationship, so us fans can use our own interpretations. ^^ |
| The anime is well done and the characters done beautifully. First I thought that Xie Lian was just a lazy guy but I'm glad that it turned out not to be the case. I'm looking forward where the next episode will take us. |
Jirash said: Wow, I didn't expect it to be that good. Nothing feels rushed and it's visually beautiful. I haven't read the novel yet but I haven't had any trouble understanding what's going on so there's nothing wrong with the consistency and storytelling and that's... well, looking back at all the donghua and manhua I watched and read - it's rare. Oh? That's kind of surprising to me since the flashbacks lacked a lot of detail and context even. Particularly the scenes involving Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. |

I don't think the "flashback" last ep supposed to be the real flashback for watchers to emotionally invest in characters or it's there to support the story. It's more like a short introduction and the song is foreshadowing some events. I would say, the writer is teasing us and make us guess who the hell that child is and what the hell is this, lmao. I would actually prefer them to slow down a bit and do world building for ep 1, but I guess they need something thrilling to hook the viewers first (novel readers are probably thirty for HC lmao) Not sure what donghua-only viewers feel about the adaption but ep 1 may make people confused on the setting with the gods, merit credits, etc...even I would confused on that lol. But the story for now can simplify to "these guys are trying to take down a ghost" so I don't think it's too complicated to understand. I agree it's not too complicated to understand, but I'll use MDZS as an example since I am a donghua-viewer only for it right now. There were parts that left me confused because they didn't cover enough to make it fully coherent. Won't elaborate since this is not a discussion for that. lol Perhaps there will be instances of that here too in future episodes, but who knows. |
| I know info about the characters and i wont bother to read the novel. Was noy hard to understand for me. Enjoyed a lot the first too |
The spider is watching |
| So far so good. The comedy is quite nice, even as it's Chinese, and the story is getting quite interesting. |

glaceon_cute said: Wow the donghua has 8.71 on Myanimelist now, what a pleasant surprise! Although I do think it's overrated but as a fan I'm happy when this is getting attention. (Hoping season 2 wouldn't take too long to be produced) uM acTuALLy iT's 8.81 now LET"S GET THIS TO #1 BABY |

| It's just so goddamn pretty to look at. I feel like people aren't talking about the visuals enough. Coupled with the beautiful music, it's even better. Plot-wise, I think this is more coherent than Mo Dao Zu Shi was two episodes in. I'm kind of used to the subtitles now, they're not great but as I said in my post for the last episode, you can't blame the donghua for that. As for the speed, well - I'm a big Monogatari fan and they're not as quick as that so I'm coping okay with it. I'm tempted to go read the book, but I think I'll wait till the anime is finished to pick it up. |

mukiryoku said: **mildy spoilery** Hua Cheng voice over: "Long ago... the Kingdom of Xian Le lived in harmony. Then everything changed when the human face disease attacked. The people thought only the Flower-Crowned Martial God, his Highness Xie Lian, could save them. But when they needed him most... he was banished from the Heavens. 800 years passed and Xie Lian wandered the mortal realm, ascending again then being banished again. He spent his days aftward collecting scraps and busking on the streets. No one expected he would ascend a third time. Although his spiritual powers are sealed... ...I believe Xie Lian can save the world!" This is so funny lmao I kinda wish did that for real now! |
This.. stood out. |

yeah...some animation key frames are quite high quality and well done... |
 |
| It's continuing to be more interesting. That bald head is so annoying, and he really looks like Connie XD The plot is easy to understand but the only problem I'm having is keeping up with the names, they're so difficult to remember... I wish the subtitles were a little bigger, they already disappear too quickly and the size of it just makes it more troublesome. |
| Better than the first episode I think, but still not too interesting. Hoping the next story arc can capture me. |
| who's the sexy guy then? ;v |
 |
| Finally full dubbed episode unlike last time... No offence to Chinese ,but Japanese dub is awesome... Japanese Opening is better than Chinese one but Ending songs of Chinese were far better ... |
| Well as someone who hasnt read the source its very rushed and confusing.. a lot of context feels missing for me but that may clear up soon probably its just to keep you watching giving hints. The visuals are great and the action scenes better too. So far im not really hooked like i have with other series but its not so boring that i would drop. Am at 6-7/10 atm .. but i always watch until the end if theres a glimpse it gets good. The source is probably less confusing and better to follow :) |

| Poor Xian Lian, everyone thought that dressing up as a woman is his hobby. xD |
