unbelievably amazing animation and music. so well done so much thought went into the music and the way the characters are portrayed. specifically for wei yings flute and lan zhans guqin.. i watched a short on the creators talking about them specifically and they really blow you away with what they did to create just the perfect sound along with the fantastic animation. i will agree with another review thouhg, if you have not read the novel you may have some trouble following alone. as someone who had already read it, i LOVE this donghua. all the seasons are amazing
