Zhen Dao Ge explores the Chinese idiom "When you seek revenge dig two graves". H He Fangzhi, the son of a government official tries to seek revenge for the massacre of his entire family 13 years ago. His journey begins at his former servant's bar in the Gobi desert where he kills everyone involved. Story: 6/10 The story has a lot of promise, it sets the story by showing glimpse of He Fangzhi's past and memories from his past instead of dishing it out in the beginning. We see the beginning of his journey at the bar in the Gobi desert. The story is fairly interesting but thefight scenes are a bit boring because He Fangzhi struggles for 5min and then at the end of the fight he kills his enemies and moves on to the next.

Art & Sound: 7/10
The art style and animation during fights is very close to Kengan Ashura. It's not the prettiest or detailed but it does hold well in fast paced action as does the art style in kengan Ashura. However, it does make viewers shy away from this series.

The only memorable sound related aspect in this series was the ending song which was played throughout the sad moments of the series. It is soft yet resilient with the tone of this story.

Character: 7/10
Character design wasn't too bad. The characters fighting against He Fangzhi were mysterious to deepen the significance of his revenge all to build up and come crashing down as he comes to reality with his past. The characters that He Fangzhi leaves behind on his path of revenge also give a sense of growth as we also question the possibility of history repeating itself and a never ending spiral of revenge to ensue in season 2.

Overall: 7/10
It's a pretty decent watch. The characters left a bit to be desired in terms of background and depth of personality instead of killing them and they reveal hints.
