Is it normal for Donghua to be this random?

This is just my 3rd Donghua after "The king's Avatar" and "Link Click".
Apart from link click the other two seemed to have a very erratic storyline with a lot of random things happening. It's like there's no continuity between so many episodes, is this normal for most Donghua?

I really don't know about the whole Donghuas and about it being random.. But Daily Life of an Immortal King just explains your question from it's name itself.. It's just a Slice of Life Donghua which follows the Daily life of the King Wang Ling

Oh you're right!
Hmmm I see... That makes sense.
But it's still weird when they combine an adventure and a slice of life. After all adventure's more fun with a longer and more in depth story.

Krish_Ketchum said:


I know right, XD.. We can literally sense different genres in each Episode. But I love how they give a Main Arc at the end.. Like the Battle between Factors in the 1st Season and the Demon War II Arc in the 2nd Season. They Literally Tease it with the Awesome Opening and I enjoy watching all the Chill Eps and waiting for it till the end..

Could've definitely done more than a 4 minute fight for the demon emperor though. Lol.
But the openings and endings for most Donghua's in general are amazing!!

Krish_Ketchum said:


Lol, You're right thou. 1st Season was better imo. But yeah, I accept it too. Doungha Openings and Endings slap in different level. And I really hope you would have watched Link Click.

Hell yeah! Link click is just pure gold and that opening, oooooo boy. Just can't get it out of my head. XD

Krish_Ketchum said:


Yup, And Ending was also soo lit..
And Goddamn, You have watched a hell lotta anime. That's great and I see that your account is new to MAL..

I still have to add so many more, haven't even reached the half way point. all these days I used to keep a note list on my phone but then I figured it's about time I actually made a mal account. I was just too lazy till now.

Krish_Ketchum said:


Haha, I guessed it, XD. Yeah, Keeping a MAL account really helps. Hope you'll get time to add all the Anime to your DB. And if you don't mind, Suggest any Underrated Anime or Movie to me

I think its understandable for this show since its supposed to be a gag show, and they rarely have continuity or development. I felt Kings Avatar was relatively straight forward with just the usual comedy but its been a while since I've watched it

Aug1799 said:


Wait! You mean this is like one punch man?
Wow that means I've been going about it in the wrong way then. Lmao.

Well yeah king's Avatar even though being slightly random, it does deliver a decent storyline. But so far I'd say I was most satisfied with link click for being most committed to a plot.

Yeah same genre like one punch man, more like Saiki K if you’ve ever watched it, and if you haven’t then it’s just japanese Daily Lige of the Immortal King, it’s not really intended to follow a storyline, more to just get some laughs out of people but i can understand your confusion because at times they do try to follow a storyline.

And yeah Link Click is in my opinion the greatest chinese made anime, and hands down one of the best ever. I agree that the tone shifts in Kings Avatar could be jarring at times but that could also be chalked up to translation issues

I think I'm using this feature right

One answer to this may be that Daily Life and Kings Avatar are based on Web novels whereas Link Click is an anime (donghua) original

I can speak more on kings avatar since I've read the novel after watching it and they definitely pick and choose a lot when it comes to what to animate and how to pace it and i think that's what adds to the jankiness of the story pacing, that said reading it I do think they did the best they could with 12 episode seasons.

Link click is episodic which is why episodes don't have a continuation. (Idk about the other ones cause I haven't watched them, but some seem to be slice of life. It's normal for slice of life to be episodic.)


Not every donghua is episodic tho
