Another brilliant piece brought to us from the mind of Tang Jia San Shao, this donghua has it all. There are some boring parts, some that are ridiculously trite, but for the most part I found it wonderful. Each character has their role and they know it well. Notice I didn't say that they are stereotyped, but have their roles. I really loved the library teacher, who grew along with his student. Unlike in other donghua where killing and forgetting about people all for the sake of power is normal, here we see meaningful relationships and lasting bonds. Sacrifices are made but accolades are sharedand well deserved. In this, we see more about the power of relying on friends that you make instead of power you take for yourself. Not just that, but these friends are all unique and have histories that are very moving.
If you want to see more than just battles and explosions, if you want something to fill your heart with joy and sorrow, if you want to see the weak combine to defeat the strong, then this is for you.
The music isn't as good as in Douluo Dalu but it is still good and at some points you just KNOW it's goin' down. The animation is amazing, fights are generally well done, though sometimes it can be a bit fast probably due to time constraints.
