lol, for some reason I got the impression that the city the guanyin temple was a city off by itself and have been going on that impression for over a year now. ><

Thank you for the correction. dOb

lol

Just yesterday I was wondering whether this page should have an 'intervention' type discussion thread for immortality forum addicts.

XD

The two switches in particular that are giving me pause at the moment are:
(1) changing the dissected fierce corpse from Nie Mingyue to that witness of the Chang sect massacre (? I think that's the character's name they used, might be wrong);
-(2) changing the location of the guanyin temple from Yunping to Yunmeng and switching the timing of the temple visit to prior to the invasion of Jin Guangyao's secret room (are they still going there at all now?).-

That they got that liquor store character to bring up Jiang Cheng's torture of innocent bystanders in Jiang Cheng's search for Wei Ying, while visiting Yunmeng/the temple location, is also interesting.

Causes me to wonder whether they'll be switching the villain from Jin Guangyao to Jiang Cheng.

But nah ... why still include the temple in the first place, since it's a devotion to Jin Guangyao's mum, and who would else would have the motivation to collude with Xue Yang aside from him Jin Guangyao?

Still ... why all these changes? I don't think they'd do all these changes without reason...

Edit :
forget point 2 - turns out I had the wrong impression of the location of the temple, my bad. Am still left wondering whether they've altered the end villain though. ^^

Interesting how the anime is switching around the plot.

Kris Wu is completely understandable. Gaol is where he should be.

ZZH I do not understand at all. More than likely being in a foreign country he just went to wherever 'his people' directed him to go and he gets demonised like this!? Many faceless keyboard warriors out there trying to make themselves feel superior by putting a person of note down. Tall Poppy Syndrome at it's worst.

+1 ^^

:/

Still stuck on preview status for the final two episodes. Jeez I hope I don't have to wait a whole week for those last two (31-32).

...that her promo pic looks like a mug shot?

I'm a simple person. I make simple points.

I think some lines from Richard Marx's 'Right Here Waiting' are particularly apt, but I'm sleepy and my head is full of cotton so I'll leave others to amend the lines that need it:

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane (lol)
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

{chorus}
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going me crazy (aaaaaaargh!!^^)

{repeat chorus}

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy

{repeat chorus}

Have you seen this W.O.T.E. cover? It's fantastic...

Not quite correct Zezinn ^^ ... I mean, they did do two spinoff movies already, so they don't necessarily have to restrict themselves to the novel. They can tell related stories in the same world.

Personally I'd like a story focused on Lan Zichen following the finale of The Untamed. I mean, it was clear he was fairly shaken up from what he had thought his world and his friendship with Jin Guangyao was like. Only to have the understanding completely turned upside down. I think the story of how he recovers his sense of self and his understanding of the world would be interesting as a drama. I'd like to see a story on how he recovers.

I also found the sentimental, father-debating character of Ouyang Zizhen to be interesting and I'd be interested in seeing a story created for his character to be lead in or at least a main part of.

I think the post-ending scene of Wei Wuxian running around the mountains leading the kids on night hunts was interesting ... I think something along the lines of a tv series based on the trainee's night hunt adventures would work.

Of course these are all just in my dreams ... but I think they could work.

PS HO'sB series is, at this stage, being titled 'Eternal Faith' and also has a MDL page (if you haven't already found it ^^) :

You've downloaded it already!

Great foresight!!

Book 1 has chapters 2-57.
Book 2 has chapters 58-88.
Book 3 has chapters 89-180.
Book 4 has chapters 181-198.
Book 5 has chapters 199-244.

If you're talking about HO'sB, then I think the first season was just Book 1, of 5 books. The second book skips back to the past. The online translation links I used to have seem to have disappeared, it appears to be because MXTX's novels are going to be officially released in english versions ... as per this website:
https://sevenseasdanmei.com/
So it looks like you won't be able to read book 2 of the novel until Feb 2022 at this point.
🥺😭

Edit : Also, for some reason, instead of separating it into 5 books, the english is separated into 8 volumes. I couldn't tell you where the splits are. Perhaps the 3 extra volumes are the post-ending extras?

Yeah, I didn't really get into the scumbag novel, and subsequently the anime fell flat.

HO'sB is my <3. Even more so than GDC. Both novel and anime. The theme song of the first season was beautiful.

I was just now wondering whether I have the right understanding what constitutes 'anime'. I think I might be using the term a little indescriminately.

GDC - grandmaster of demonic cultivation. It's the anime version of the untamed.
SS - at least on this board it seems, refers to 'scumbag system', aka svsss, aka 'scum villain's self-saving system'. I confused it with 'swallowed star'.
The 3rd and final anime season of GDC just started airing last weekend.
The 1st anime season of scumbag system has aired. I don't know of any subsequent seasons.
The 1st anime season of swallowed star has aired and had a bloody awful sudden cliffhanger ending. The trailer for the 2nd season (presumably a season, though I read somewhere it might be a movie instead of a 2nd season of the series) dropped within this last week, but I haven't heard any news of the air date ... which is why I got all hyper about a reference to 'SS'.

>< lol

Is SS Swallowed Star? I heard a trailer dropped for the next season (bloody awful cliffhanger on that first season) have you heard anything about the second season air date at all?

Cross fingers. 🤞🙏.

...Actually I was just pondering the issue of accessories.

How old is Hua Cheng? Hasn't he gone insane on a few occasions? And on those occasions wouldn't his attire bear the scars?

It's not just too cheerful a colour, the costume itself is too clean, too tidy, too ... unlived.
