Xue Ying Ling Zhu

I'm posting the review because no one has yet posted the review.

Yeah, it is a good anime but it gets dragged without much progress that is the issue, because it does alot of draging without any improvements from episode 1 to 18.
If you could reach 18th episode you can clearly see a breakthrough the story.

Yes its is absolutely good anime with laggs, its also a cultivation anime, well if you are interested in cultivation anime then i will recommend you to watch till 18th episode because it is when the real cultivation begins.

Season 2 is much better compared to season 1. But don't start ... watching from season 2.
You need watch all episode from 1 to 26 to understand the concept.

I recommend it as a good anime.

Snow Eagle Lord S1 Review

Before watching and dropping because it starts boring, consider that this series truly starts at 2:15:00 which is just about 30-40% into the season. The reason why my review is low is exactly because of this, there is a lot of unnecessary character establishment in the beginning that drags into the core of this first season. This might be taboo since I haven't read the source material and it might be canon but it doesn't seem necessary because there isn't much emotional attachment to any of the characters. Eventually, the daughter of that greedy uncle leaves and is discarded from the ... character palette in the future but I understand that this is a great opportunity for love conflict to brew especially with the introduction of Yu Jing Qiu. Essentially, without spoiling the plot this narrative and character establishment in the beginning will be the hardest 2 hours watching anything - watching paint dry is more bearable than this ngl.

Snow Eagle Lord is an overpowered main character donghua where MC inherits special powers and techniques to complement his beloved spear. Which was influenced by his father before he was abducted in a power struggle between political family relations involving his mother. Later in the season we get to see the devil god's presence at work on our little brother Qin Shi while he is cultivating and our MC is out completing missions.

Story : 6/10
Character : 6/10
The way MC grows is by fighting strong opponents, essentially stimulating his hidden powers to the point where he becomes a big target from everyone and in the final episodes fights the #1 ranker warrior on the human leaderboards. The brutal fight is the climax of this season as it shows Qin Shi's growth to trust in his brother again and stimulate positive relationships with the Longshan Building, informant Si An's information bureau. Xue Ying's relationship with Yu Jing Qiu also strengthens toward the end but it does put a lot of the first few episodes in the bin in terms of content. The next 4 episodes after episode 26 have much more plot and character development than this season because Xue Ying learns and grows from stronger opponents.

Art & Sound : 6/10
Nothing in particular that piqued my interests or stood out in terms of visual quality or sound effect quality. Xue Ying Ling Zhu appears to be a typical normal budget Donghua project so it doesn't really compete in this aspect with other Donghua like Swallowed Star or Douluo Dalu S9.

Enjoyment : 6/10
I enjoyed the OPMC battled at the end, and seeing Xue Ying awaken his powers but it was really short lived in season 1. It definitely missed out more fights with the spear wielding martial god Xue Ying. If you enjoy watching OPMC no matter what the visual or audio is like, this is for you. I enjoyed this because it was long and I could sustain the boring parts to an extent but when there are important events (including the future seasons) it is very satisfying.

This anime is trash. Complete and utter garbage, amazed how this even got such a high overall rating.

This is no “cultivation” anime, any review that says so is talking nonsense. Cultivation existing does not make it a cultivation anime. It’s obvious by how NOTHING is explained in any depth about anything regarding cultivation.

This anime is slow, boring and uninteresting. The graphics are trash so there is no saving grace there and the story is even more trash. Nothing interesting.

You want to watch a cultivation anime this is not it. Wu Shang Shen Di, Soul Land, Against the Sky Supreme, Swallowed Star, Battle ... Through the Heavens, Wanjie Du Zun, Wushen Zu Zai, Peerless Martial Spirit, Spirit Sword Sovereign, Martial Universe, Stellar Transformations, A Record of a Mortals Journey to Immortality, Tales of Demons and Gods, Dubu Xiaoyao, Throne of Seal….and others I’m missing.

These are ACTUAL cultivation anime. Hate when reviewers talk nonsense, no part of this anime can you consider it a cultivation anime.
