Long Zhi Gu: Jingling Wangzuo

When taken into consideration that this is intended for younger audience, this movie certainly isn't bad. It's not great or original, but it's fine enough for things like family movie night.

The story is somewhat cliché, but that's only to be expected with movies like this. And at least it is not as much of a copypaste as it could be. It includes one of the most overused and annoying tropes of allies getting into a fight/disagreement, usually over a misunderstanding that could be solved with actually explaining stuff to others. But at least this time it's not done as just a cheap way to increase ... the drama as the finale is getting closer and with the conflict not adding anything to the value - in Dragon Nest: Throne of Elves it is the main theme that starts pretty early, so it barely gets a pass from me. Other than that, this is basically a typical "good guy protagonists vs plotting villain" animated feature.

What I liked the most about this movie was the animation, but I am a fan of 3D CGI, so if you don't like it you'll most likely have a different experience watching it. The action scenes are fluid and not chaotic. The character designs also aren't bad, especially the protagonist's love interest being quite cute. It does this one annoying thing though, which is scenes where objects are hurled towards the screen in slow motion in manner that was obviously meant to showcase the techonology for 3D glasses, but it looks weird when watching the 2D version.

Overall, I liked this a bit more than the first movie.

My english are not the best so i will try to explain how exited i am

To be honest i never played the game but i have watched the frist movie and waited for the second for very long! This should definetly get a Romance genre on it!! for us little nerd who love action/romance + magic elven world its definetly a 100% worth anime watching! watching the second movie got me the whole time excited sitting on my Couch and screaming like a kid :P the character development is great! music in chinese version goes better and better each day!


the story is basicaly ... the usual envy siblings story wich one of them was throwed away beacuse it lacked some extra love or it wasnt chosen for its destiny so it became evil but the way they handled it made me realy cry and enjoyed it at fullest! im looking forward for a third movie wouldnt bother me im realy excited!

Seccond movie made from the Dragon nest game environment realy hit the sweat spot of mine. In contrast to the first movie, this story is centered around less characters, which given them more screen time and room to interact and develop.
Even tho, Story-vise it isnt anything outstanding and it uses all the old movie/anime clishes, it realy doesnt loose its momentum, and throw you into the seat and wont let go, until the post credit scene, which leaves you with the funny smirk on the face. This kind of storyteling realy makes it kid-friendly, even taking in consideration it gets somehow scarry at some point ... of the movie.
As far as the animation goes, when i first saw the characters in the first movie, I cannot help but to think of the new "Thinkerbell" movies. Which means that for me, getting used to the animation style wasnt realy all that hard. Visuals were overall great and the action scenes were breath taking.

I realy hope, there will be more movies in this franchise. It has potential, and delivers some nice DnD action, that isnt full of the "fanservise" in the way it is in almost all new anime...

I do recommend to watch it, if you like shows with the feal of the Dungeon and Dragons.
