Season 3 has been the best season yet by far. There were some very dramatic moments which I loved and the relationship between Xiao Yan and Yao Lao was closer than ever! We got to meet Xiao Yan's brothers (Xiao Ding (elder) and Xiao Li (middle)) which I'd been looking forward to for some time and the snake colony was incredible. The art and design of the characters is colourful and very appealing, though I think the female characters were slightly over-sexualised, and while it was noticeable it wasn't off-putting or distracting. The battles and displays of magic are mesmerising! As for big moments in thestory, you get sucked in straight away and you're on the edge of your seat, despite knowing that Xiao Yan is going to win anyway they're still thoroughly enjoyable, however, I think the build up to them could be a bit more developed, as they can be quite sudden and you don't always realise it was a big moment in the story until after its happened.

I watched the live action: Battle Through Heaven, first, and I was always on the look out for similarities and I think season 3 has the most with the snake people, the Flame and the brothers.

Xiao Yan is a smart a** as usual and it's brilliant and Xiao Yan and Yun Zhi are finally reunited. All together it was a really good season. If you're super invested in the storyline of Mei Du Sha then watch the season 2 special, however, I've found you can still enjoy the story without it.

P.S - best opening and closing themes so far too! Listened to the opening theme 100 times on repeat already. Unfortunately I can't find its proper name anywhere!
