NGL, I expected more to have happened by now as well. I think the pace can be picked up for sure. Also...I think…
That's a great analogy for it; student driver. Taking 13 episodes to introduce characters; too long. They def have time as mentioned to pick up the pace but at the same time you don't want things to be rushed and unexplained. I guess we'll have to see. And this thing is supposed to have a season 2 as announced per Tencent. I just hope season 1 gives us the quality that we'll want to watch season 2 whenever that happens.
I'm hoping after episode 13 we're going to move on with the plot. Now even I'm starting to feel like the introduction…
Yes plz! Da ge is like a bossy dude. Then you have motor mouth what's his face OuseKe and the new chick that whines like an arrogant kid. I didn't read the book and not into anime but this plot needs to start being cohesive and have development. 40 episodes go by quick. The actors aren't to blame, they read the script and followed the directors orders. Thus far my favorites are Tang San, Master, Headmaster, and the chick with the grudge and nails plus evil Phoenix fire kid as they seem to have the most development and have characters that are evolving.
Episode 8 was mostly that Brother Ou guy yammering away about some BS. He's annoying and not funny. If his character continues on this route, I'm going to fast forward his parts. He legit gave me a headache and most of the episode was spent on him and considering there's only 40 episodes, maybe they should have given him his own series or something. I love the CGI, the other characters for the most part though all antagonists thus far, killed or not could have done with better development. Episode 9 we finally have our first mystery to solve, with some side bar of Mr. Motor Mouth. Didn't read the book nor am into Donghua, so watching for Xiao Zhan who's doing a stellar job and just the story itself.
Love the CGI, the comedy aspects of it, some actors could have been less annoying but so far so good. Looking forward to the episodes 8 and 9 tomorrow.
Btw folks, Xiao Zhan did his own voice dubbing for this one. It's his first one! Enjoy and as someone said below, plz be civil in the comments. If you don't like it, no need to make a fuss. Everyone is entitled to their viewpoints.
The mods here doesn't really stand XZ so don't expect them to rush, also don't expect the drama to trend on the…
Ok well things were changed. I'm sure the mods here like everyone or they wouldn't be mods. And I'm sure they can pick and choose which series to work on. I suggest if you have a problem with the mods, you take it up with them. Don't do it here. Thanks.
Ok I'm in the US, Tencent Video said North America couldn't watch it until 11:30am and I just clicked on it and it's available. Just one episode but it is. So folks, if you're in the states too, try it out. I'm on the east coast though. ~shrug~
12pm China time on CCTV 8 and 12:30pm CST on WETV/Tencent Feb. 5th. Was announced everywhere Weibo and Xiao Zhan himself just released a vcr on CCTV. It's real folks.
Update: Thank you for doing so!
