Wu Dong Qian Kun

I can't believe no one gave WDQK a review? This anime is awesome to watch I couldn't wait for the next episode to come out. I am so looking forward to Season 2 please hurry lol.

Has a similar build up as most anime leads off where the MC is weak at first then becomes stronger. The MC has to protect and serve his family's honor, fight stronger villains and goes through a few trials to overcome them. Only 12eps but it's like One Punch series it draws you in.

The battles are very interesting similar to Tales of Demons and GODs the fighting tournaments.

Just don't watch this show. Watch something else, because this show doesn't make sense unless you read the Manhua. Just watch Soul Land instead.

For starters, the best experience you could watch these online is if it has good quality and the fans subs are translated well. Most of the time, they are not.

With the fansubs not being well done (although I thank them, it's as if they're using google translate at times) and the absurd pacing, this show is just not enjoyable.

For starters, too much happens in these 12 episodes that it doesn't give room for you to understand the situation nor ... does it give us any idea about the characters. The pacing is too fast and it seems that they are trying to crunch in as much of the Manhua into the anime as possible, but it probably leaves out so much. The characters have nothing memorable about them and and can be summarized in one phrase.

So many events happen that they don't go over how their power/ki/energy system is structured or how they make sense until episode 6. I had to search up what these power increases or different abilities are and how they interact to form new abilities. For all you know, they could be pulling abilities out their ass to win a fight and I wouldn't even know if it makes sense because the explanation of the system and structure of the power scale are not present. You shouldn't be searching up what powers/abilities/energy types these characters have and how they make sense for a show; it should be explained in the show or at least make sense. But they don't.

Art and Sound are whatever.

Don't give this a shot, you deserve better.

I'll start off with saying season one is worse than season two.

-The overall plot (the motivating factor driving the MC) is extremely lackluster in comparison to stories like BTTH and TDG
-All the bad guys are shallow with copied and pasted characteristics
-The characters in general lack personality and are pretty shallow
-The cultivation rate of the MC is ridiculously fast paced and is 100% luck based with no skill
-Harem-y like other of its genre but not as strong. Love it or hate it I guess.

If you're looking for something great, I'd say pass but if you enjoy watching generic Xianxia/ Wuxia donghua for the genre ... itself then power through season one and get to season two where you will see improvements from what I said above.

Martial Universe is about a kid whose dad became a cripple after getting arrogant against another arrogant cultivator in a higher realm and also who blamed the son for not becoming like him at the age of 3. Lin Dong, who is always bullied for his low cultivation level and the shame his dad brought to the village Lin family finds himself bullied and gets blood on a mysterious god object from 10,000 years before him. Miraculously, this object speeds up Lin Dong's cultivation and allows him to beat the top person in his village's tournament. Coincidentally, Lin Dong participates in a little wager between ... 3 families to see who could hunt a lion's crystal where he and his friend from the Dojo get the cubs and win the Liu family land which also coincidentally had had a thousand year herb and lots of Yuan crystals. His family and the other 2 families duke it out over the cave Lin Dong finds and eventually the other families get crushed by Lin Dong's big dong with mental power. (almost similar to the manhua)

Story: 4/10
Martial Universe Manhua was pretty good, it had a sense of progression and character development. The world building also wasn't too bad although there were a lot of tournament arcs and cultivation grinding. The donghua didn't to the Manhua any justice, it (from what I remember) doesn't really follow the setting and story of the Manhua but instead substitutes some of the story and setting elements with a village family. For example, in the Manhua Lin Dong runs away from home to a cave he usually frequents because he is ashamed but magically finds this powerful crystal in a pool of water diluted in this liquid and absorbs it to become powerful. In the series, he just gets bullied and bleeds a little bit on the powerful crystal and somehow the crystal got inside of him. The story time scale is terrible, in the beginning I didn't even notice that there were time skips and they weren't even announced that it was 3 days later or 3 months later it just skips. The fights are martial-artsy and hits always get blocked which is just boring watching defensive fighting for 30 minutes.

Art & Sound: 5/10
Mediocre character design, the main character looks bad. The sounds aren't as good either.
If you don't like CGI this is not a good place to start whether it has good story or good animation, the design is still 廢物...

Character: 5/10
Characters in this series are reused and discarded when they are not useful for the main character. Prime examples are the Lin family younger generations that fought Lin Dong in the beginning. They just disappear from the character storyline. With the introduction of new enemies, Lin Dong and his pet ferret are the only characters that matter. Because all other characters are 廢物

TL;DR
You might not enjoy this because there are a great number of elements in this story that work together to make this a terrible viewing experience. Even if its an overpowered main character, this is a piece of work as a donghua.

this is a awosome adaptation of the novel with same name

STORY: its one of the greatest stories written by the legend himself tian can tu do who also wrote BTTH,the great ruler,BTTH the legend of lan yao,yuan zun.
and what is the most interesting thing is that all the different stories take place in the same universe(inter dimensional universes).

ART:the tencent studio really does a good job animating and the fight scenes are well done as well

SOUND: sound is quite good be it opening ending or the sound track of a fight or a leisure happy talk

CHARACTERS: as i have said in the story paragraph ... the man tian can tu do is a legend who is best at story flow and character writting except for some lame villains in the begining all the characters are just gonna get better and better if there is a secon season.

ENJOYMENT: i watched it after reading the manwa and still enjoed it a lot . so you can just assume how good it was
