Hua Jianghu: Huan Shi Men Sheng

This show is a masterpiece. I don't understand why it is so underrated. As I found it a lot better than many high rated animes. It was worth the watch. Its story very different and unique and at the same time has various emotions in it. The creators has done a great job. I think this show definitely deserves above 7 rating at least. I just fall in love with the action in 1st and 2nd episode , like hatsoff to the action director of this show

Story-10/10
This story was a masterpiece where the main character, nian yangxiao comes from a parallel world ... or you can say as mirror world to save his lover and his journey begins.

Animation-10/10
The animators has done a very good job. I have seen many of the shows from the show creators and the animation never lets me down. This studio is doing a great job but really needs to be recognised.

Characters- 10/10
characters are very well designed and are very likable. The main character is very likable and I really enjoyed watching him. The son of the axe gang was also very likable like it was very well designed and made it fun to watch.

Enjoyment and overall- 10/10 and 10/10
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ANIME AND I WOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUGGEST WATCHING IT.
Actually I was going to skip it as the rating was so low and I thought it would be boring. As well as there was no review that could help me how the show was. So when I didn't have anything to watch so I just gave it a try and I was really hooked to it from the first episode. I just wish it will get the deserved recognition and support.

There are times in life, where I feel a pure, malice-free jealousy.
Jealousy, that someone can watch a complete crap like this, and say it's 10/10.
God knows how much I wish that my life could be so easy.
All the shows I could enjoy, if my tastes were so accommodating.

Let me give you an idea how how differently two people can perceive the same thing:

Story 2/10: after a confusing introduction, it switches to the funeral of some jianghu boss who was allegedly poisoned by the rival gang, and his lackey want revenge.
So far so meh.
There's then a mega unrealistic car scene, which ends in a villa, killing ... tens of lackeys in one go. BS, but at least this was somehow vaguely cool, albeit not even remotely as much as it tried to be.
Then you get the typical Chinese bs of one against one hundred, which ends in one minute.
Btw there are guns in this world, but because they are cool they just use Chinese machetes or whatever they're called.
Second wannabe-cool dude comes to stop the invader. It would seem that the invader is the son of the killed jianghu boss and came to exact revenge. But two dudes come to fight him, and they were the lackeys who wanted revenge for their boss, which means, aren't they on the same side of the invader?
Whatever, I couldn't care less anymore, my finger is already about to click stop.
This was the first few minutes. I can't go into more details otherwise it would be a spoiler, but from that moment it goes all terribly down hill terribly fast. I mean, even more down than it already was.
There's an EXTREMELY gross, truly repulsive and vulgar villain, some of the cheapest and most out of place, over the top and freaking CONSTANT "humour" in the worst Chinese style, and NOTHING else but a lot of nonsense scenes that clearly have no other purpose than a superficial wannabecoolness (like, imagine if a neurologically faulty chihuahua would try to make a parody of Tarantino).
The ENTIRETY of the episodes that I tortured my soul with, were like that: nonsense cheap not funny gross wannabecoolness.

Animation 4/10: it's second class 3D, the movements are actually quite fluid to be fair, that's the only reason why I don't say 1/10.
But other than that it looks like a prehistoric video-game, with horrible rendering, inaccurate shading, and weird colours.
Not the worst ever, but dude, 10/10? If this is 10/10 what's Swallowed Star? 100/10? Come on...

Characters 3/10: there's some vague attempt at giving them some recognisable albeit EXTREMELY stereotyped traits (almost grotesque like a caricature). Personalities are as shallow as a dog's piddle. And the constant tonal inconsistency between serious moments and fourth rate humour destroys ANY semblance of psychological credibility that they might occasionally have.
Bottom line: every single character is effectively a caricature, inside and outside. Some a bit less, some much more.

Enjoyment and overall 3/10: unless you read the above and feel "omg, this is so cool, no_eyes_sight is describing exactly what I like!", I don't see how you or anybody might ever possibly enjoy this.
But clearly the other reviewer had a great time with it.
My guess: either you are Chinese and you are used to this, hmmm, "kind of storytelling" and this let's say peculiar sense of humour, or you have VERY accommodating tastes and are in a VERY good mood, the girl of your dreams told you that she loves you, you won the lottery, your father told you that he's so proud of you, and anything seems wonderful to you today.
Maybe, MAYBE, in that case you might like this.
In all other cases, watch at your risk and don't tell me I didn't warn you.
