One Piece: Red Debuts Two New Characters with Attack on Titan Ties
Mo Dao Zu Shi, alternatively known in English as Grandmaster of the Demonic Path , aired its first season in late to a widespread success in China and amongst international fan communities. Based on a novel of the same name, this series tells the story of the rise, death, and then resurrection of a man who wields unorthodox methods of controlling the undead.
Not because anyone asked, but because I love gushing about things I adore as much as I love ranting about things I hate. And I can safely say that this series is nothing but the former. Recommended For: Those seeking a slow burn romance in the backdrop of an ancient world plagued by zombies.
NOT Recommended For: Anyone uncomfortable with gore and destruction or looking for a breezy, painless romance. In the fantasy world of XianXia, humans seek to gain immortality — the state of Xian — through an exploration of the mystical arts of cultivation. The notorious Wei Wuxian made a name for himself as a cultivator with unconventional and often forbidden practices with his use of necromancy to control the undead and wield them for his own purposes.
Renowned as the founder of the Demonic Path, Mo Dao, he is eventually betrayed and killed as the clans of XianXia began to fear his growing power. Wei Wuxian quickly becomes embroiled in an investigation of a series of attacks by the feral undead. With a new and unrecognizable face, he attempts to hide his return from the familiar faces he reunites with along his journey. But the stoic Lan Wangji of the Lan Gusu clan may suspect more than he lets on, and Wei Wuxian may have to face the truth of his resurrection in a world changed by his thirteen-year absence, and his true feelings for Lan Wangji.
It has since been adapted into both a manhua and the donghua I am now sitting down to review. A major selling point of the series, which I will elaborate on later, is the animation. We as the audience are immediately placed into this world of XianXia with an info-dump and a brief history that is shared by a narrator. Thus, when we are subsequently introduced to him it is immediately after he is resurrected in the body of Mo Xuanyu and thrown back into a world as unfamiliar to him as it is to us.
In the first few episodes, Wei Wuxian is reunited with a number of different important figures from his past, though none except Lan Wangji recognize him. By all accounts, these scenes should have been highly emotional. The only problem is… we as the audience have no context for any of their importance to Wei Wuxian.
However, that is consequently what makes the following episodes that illustrate the events of thirteen years prior when the clans lived in relative harmony so compelling. What this story lacks in the initial setup of the first episodes it makes up for, and then some, in its stellar second half.
Little time beyond the first few episodes is spent in the present timeline. Instead, we jump back thirteen years to get the history of these characters in a place and time much more peaceful than the world Wei Wuxian departed in death.
It adds a wonderfully dark element to the story, even in the midst of the playful going-ons of the group of friends, given that we are always conscious that Wei Wuxian will die.
This show is exponentially more fun to watch as it proceeds along. My favorite kind of stories are ones set in a fantasy world with a romantic subplot running tangent to a much larger and more immediate problem.
Mo Dao Zu Shi fits this description perfectly, even if it seems to be mostly marketed as a love story between two men. In reality, the actual romance between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji actually plays a very minimal role in the events of this first season. There is a very tacit way in which their relationship evolves, but with most of the season being flashbacks, we never actually get to see them take that step further.
So if you appreciate a good slow-burn, enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance this may be the donghua for you. Mo Dao Zu Shi takes the time to flesh out an extensive backstory for its characters after the brief introduction in the current timeline that comprised the first two episodes.
And it does so in a way that actually made me incredibly attached to these people after the fact. And by attached, I mean crying my eyes out when their lifeless bodies were shown on screen in a scene that was poignant, gruesome, and more beautiful than it had any right to be. Despite the fair amount of action comprising much of the plot of this donghua, I see it as being a more character-driven story, and I love that. In fact, he was almost too good for my liking during the majority of this first season.
He is a phenomenally talented and innovative cultivator, and yet remains humble about his own gifts and defers to his adopted brother Jiang Cheng in most instances.
I usually really like mischievous, cheerful characters with a secret dark side. Nonetheless, that makes me all the more excited for his development in Season 2. Lan Wangji is the stoic, regal second son of the head of the Gusu Lan sect. Both men feel a bit familiar as far as character archetypes go — the quirky, cheerful one juxtaposed against his somber, serious counterpart.
But this type of dynamic is popular for a reason, and it was fun to watch their banter play out and develop into a begrudging on the part of Wangji but genuine affection. What really furthers my love for this series, however, is how beautifully complex all of the various side characters are.
I love read: love Jiang Cheng. As the true heir to the Jiang clan that is always overshadowed by his adoptive brother Wei Wuxian who he loves as much as he resents, Cheng is a fantastically flawed and realistic character. And yet, as the story of their past unfolds, the hardship and loss that Jiang Cheng is forced to face twists his character into a desperate and bitter individual.
Not a bad one, I would say, but he is a man forcibly changed by pain and the desire for revenge. And it shows. Lan Xichen is this very refined, compassionate older brother who seems to fit his role as future clan leader like he was born into it. Which, admittedly, he was. While the two brothers seem a much more similar pair than Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng, I like that their dynamic was not a copy-paste replica of these other set of brothers and has a lot of potential to be explored.
Despite a fairly minimal cast of female characters, Mo Dao Zu Shi manages to present a suitably interesting collection of them. I most enjoy female characters whose strength does not come from the prescription of traditionally masculine traits like unrealistic feats of physical strength, but instead intelligence or even just simple compassion.
I will unabashedly admit that I love Madame Jiang, even despite the cruelty she exhibits towards Wei Wuxian. She was vicious, relentless really, in her fierce defense of her people and I have to respect that devotion.
I love that she was not some noble hero ready to lay down her life for a cause — she was angry, and heartbroken, and absolutely brutal. Her sacrifice, and especially her uneasy relationship with her husband who she loved and yet died unaware loved her so deeply back, was the most emotional scene in the entire season for me. I guess I just have a certain fondness for electric-whip yielding, purple-robed Jiang family members.
I think my biggest gripe with any of the characters actually comes down to our villains, given that they are almost cartoonishly evil. But I like my villains a little more complex. Or I at least want their motivations to be.
Okay, okay. Trying to explain how much I was utterly enamored with the animation of Mo Dao Zu Shi is daunting out of the simple fact of me not knowing just where to start. This show combines hand-drawn animations with CGI to present a seamless visual illustration of a story that is sometimes overshadowed by just how pretty it looks. And gruesome too. But Mo Dao Zu Shi manages to evoke a certain amount of dread and disgust with its animation as it showcases the violent clash of clan against clan, and zombie against man.
And I truly mean that with only compliments in mind. The music in the donghua is largely instrumental, with only the opening and closing theme songs of each episode including actual lyrics. While these songs are not quite as lovely as the ambiance of the instrumental songs, they do the job of establishing this whimsical fantasy world and a backdrop for a story that is both a romance and an adventure.
The opening theme in particular combines some of that ethereal, recognizably Chinese instrumentation with vocals to set an immediately epic, if not melancholy, tone to each episode. The opening theme is adapted quite cleverly for other scenes throughout the show as well. Adapting their much more subdued, nostalgic theme into a song suited for a battle sequence was an incredibly effective way to foreshadow their future partnership.
But more than just the soundtrack of this donghua being utterly beautiful is the sound design of the series as a whole. The use of these musical instruments makes such a delicate accompaniment to the contrarily violent battles and death that surround them during these circumstances.
And the effect is nothing less than chilling. For the most part, I found the voice acting in Mo Dao Zu Shi to be spot on really, and surprisingly varied for the huge cast of characters present in just this first season. I think the most remarkable thing about the voice acting overall is just how wide the range of actors and actresses whose voices were utilized was. Despite such a vast cast of characters introduced over the course of the first season, each character had an impressively distinctive voice — one well-suited to their character type.
Overall, the voice acting was just the last bit of finesse on an already great production that brought it all together. Watch this, if not for the love story set against the backdrop of an ancient China plagued by zombies, then at least for the living art that is the animation. Mo Dao Zu Shi is an absolutely beautiful take on an adventure-romance. And I will eagerly await its upcoming second season.
While experiencing quarantine due to the pandemic, I found myself having nothing to do during my spare time. I have been a fan of Thai entertainment and have watched some lakorn in the past and I never really cared about Bad review; full of extremely personal comments and tastes. You did nothing but let yourself be carried away by your first quick thought.
The thought of a fanatic whose fanaticism blocks the flaws in his favorite works. A review needs to find the strengths and weaknesses. There is no such thing as perfection. In the world of animation there are very few works that deserve to be called masterpiece; yet they are burdened with minor defects that are remarkable. Nothing that overshadows the senses.
There are worse donghua; with better animation and so far, it is not an aspect that gives it an advantage. Wei Ying goes from a happy-go-lucky, slightly mischievous teen, to a man that has lost everything, even himself, on the path of revenge.
And now for the plot — for me, despite the various cliches and tropes, it is a gem. I like how it starts being all bright and happy, only for a shadow to fall on it and see the consequences of that.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. But, of course, all this is subjective. Like how, in the end, not matter how one tries to keep objectivity, all reviews turn out to be. Also, all the good points they showcased can be seen as negatives by others, according to their taste the music, for one, got a big minus from a friend of mine :.

Earlier this year, a wonderful thing happened to me: I fell hard for a Chinese drama series called The Untamed Chen Qing Ling , a sweeping tale about two magic-wielders battling demonic forces and complicated power struggles in a feudal-era fantasy world. My plan was to sample a few scenes, since watching 50 full-length episodes is no small time commitment.
8 Chinese Anime like Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi)
Mo Dao Zu Shi may have multiple versions in several different formats, but the basic premise, plot, and characters are the same throughout them all. Where you start, however, will depend on your personal preferences. The story follows Wei Wuxian, a spiritual cultivator who died 13 years prior to the start of the story. He becomes known as the founder of the Demonic Path as a result of this practice. When the series begins, a man named Mo Xuanyu decides to sacrifice his soul to bring Wei Wuxian back to life. The ritual works, and Wei Wuxian returns, slightly confused at his unexpected resurrection, but ready to do whatever task Xuanyu has summoned him to do. He embarks on adventures fighting monsters and solving mysteries across the countryside, dealing with the fallout from his previous life along the way. If you dig supernatural adventures — especially those that lean towards the horror genre — this element of the story will be your jam. My main draw to the story overall is the protagonist, Wei Wuxian. He has a surprisingly sunshiny personality for someone with a dark and traumatic past.

Thirteen years later, Wei Wuxian is reincarnated in the body of a lunatic and reunited with Lan Wangji, a former classmate of his. This marks the beginning of a supernatural mystery that plagues the clans and threatens to disrupt their everyday life.
Animation/Episodes
The gorgeous movie was an unconventional toon in many ways: a talking-animal movie in which the titular horse voiced by Matt Damon spoke only to us, the audience, while communicating with others through snorts and movement. This latest feature appears to have been outsourced, with DreamWorks overseeing the development and animation handled by Jellyfish Pictures at a fraction of the cost. Quality animation can be awfully expensive, and it would be easy to forgive such cut-rate tricks from an indie production. Once Lucky reaches her new home, Dad forbids her from having anything to do with horses, but she disobeys and winds up stealing Spirit in order to liberate a number of wild horses from a rustler Walton Goggins. Only one of them is white. But the movie is so devoid of personality that any advances in identity politics are practically beside the point. The Best Albums of the Decade.
