Mad Demon Lord · review
# bad demon lord, mal viewers mad... We're going to start with the obvious defaults of this anime. First - let's get this out of the way - the animation is awful. You might have seen worse, but Kuang Shen Mo Zun looks like a set of (badely written) 3d scripts in a uneventful loop made by a lazy, drunk and desperate artist. But by then, the music, especially the anime introduction is *so* much worse that the animation looks suddenly not that appalling. The best thing that could happen for this anime is for the associated musical band to disband. Preferably permanently. Now, if you're stubborn enoughto get past these aforementionned defaults, you might find some unusual (in a chinese anime) qualities hidden in the dialogs. I've found them quite mature, quite funny sometimes (better at least than the random comic aspects of the show). This seems unusual to me, especially in a chinese anime, where you will usually find the dialogs as a mix of clichés sentences and childish heroic punchlines sewed together. To help with that, the characters and their developpement aren't all that bad and at the very least, they are *consistent*.
Since the story progresses very slowly, I can't say much about the scenario. Basically, this feels more like a detective (dee) story than your inevitable "i-will-rule-them-all" manhua.
