Snow Eagle Lord · review
So before starting, I have to mention that I have finished the novel from which this anime is from pretty recently. The story itself is pretty long, which explains why this 1st season is relatively slow-paced. The story follows Xue Ying, the young lord of a territory after his mother and father has been kidnapped, as well as his attempt to deliver them. Overall I would say the anime is pretty good. The art is not the best I have seen in donghua by any means, but it's still solid. The sound itself isn't amazing either, although I really enjoyed the OP. The fighting is pretty nice to watch,and the story is enjoyable.
There are a few problems however. First, the anime skips a lot of background information and explanations which makes the first few episodes really hard to understand. For anyone interested in the novel, the MC actually doesn't unlock his Qi until he is 14-15 years old while his body is abnormaly strong. He later unlocks his Bloodline which is when he starts developping Qi. And since his body is already so strong, he progresses really rapidly.
The second thing, is that Producers really enjoy changing story elements to make them doesn't make sense. It wasn't as bad as in Swallowed star, but I'm afraid of what will happen later. The final enemy at the end is not a demon, but a magical beast which is an important distinction to make because he doesn't come from the abyss. He also wasn't changed by the Sorcerer god blood, but by someone from the Sorcerer Palace. Anyway those are relatively minor, but I'm afraid it's the start of things that absolutely won't make sense as we go into the story.
