Wo De Ni Tian Shen Qi is an original anime from china that doesn't copy the fate series in any way shape or form. prepare for plot twists but i don't think Gilgamesh will be happy to see another faker.

The story isn't a variant of the holy grail war in any way shape or form but i must say shiro's trace on ability has been inherited greatly. it's an enjoyable series if you don't take it seriously or have flashbacks to fate which is a random occurrence since it's 99% original .

The fights in the beginning are pretty good as they build up hype for ... the progression of the characters but it falls off pretty stale as they feel less choreographed and more about 1shot nuke your opponent.

The best quality from this anime is the music/sound which is really soothing and conveys the atmosphere really well but those fate flash backs just slap you in the face.

Show Summary
Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria, is a show that tries to combine many aspect to create a rather serious environment, in a world filled with warfare, politics and next gen wincestry. Whilst it tries to cover a broad aspect it doesn't manage to exactly handle one of them correctly except perhaps the battles which is also pushing it to say that. The show tries to implement a serious tones in certain situation but always falls completely flat due to the scenarios it's used in are either don't have any logic to support them or is completely forced BS from hell.

More ... Thoughts
Firstly you're thrown into the story with a time skip and i suppose that's fine if it's further broken down in later episodes that could tie into a mystery unveiling.
The pacing of the story is atrocious with character development being one of the worst i have ever seen. The instances go from 0 - 100 within an episode or two and you're left wondering what the hell is happening. The story attempts to be emotional but fails at every point due to the characters reasoning being either utterly stupid or comes off really dull.
The first episode had me intrigued in what the series had to offer and it's the episode i can say was good but from there one it's one massive downhill spiral.


Should you watch it ?
No unless you're masochist who enjoys the pain <3

A bird that regained its wings only to trap itself back in the cage and lose its wings once more aka Darling in the franXX.

Darling in the franXX, is a Mech/Romance anime and has quite a few issues with its story progression although it's highly intriguing.

The visuals and soundtrack which are this anime are really amazing and the representation of character emotions is also good.

The Mechs have interesting designs and display the female pilots emotion with Strelitzia reactions showcasing how vastly different it's from the other FranXX. They isn't much to the technical side of their operates except for that they ... run on a limited resource of magma fuel but the information is really vague. As a mecha fan i feel it would have been a bonus if their operations were broken down yet i would like to believe it's a plot point to reflect the restricted information.


The major issues with darling in the FranXX is how it fails to take advantage of the build up it creates from previous episodes and most notably episode 14 is the biggest offender which in my opinion is the one of the worst episodes within this series as characters are forced to act against their wishes when previous episode showed something entirely different.

They are instances where characters act way too forced and seem to abandon their resolve or reflections which they had and creates contradictions to what their end goal is.

The show is slowly going down hill as more interesting routes of the story could have been had but yet the melodrama is forced to play out and ruins the intriguing world.
