THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This ep was really good! Some scenes were shortened/merged but overall it still worked pretty well.

So glad they kept LWJ using his forehead ribbon to tie WWX's hands heheh.
Too bad they didn't include LJY dropping his chicken wing but it was great that LSZ stuffed LJY with the chicken leg LOL.

They now have a good idea of who 'good brother' is and who the suspect might be but LXC hopes that's not true.

It's so nice seeing WWX and JL having a bit of bonding time while fighting against those Lan Ling guys.

It's nice seeing Wei Ying and Lan Zhan fighting together, as a team.

I can tell they cut out a lot since I am depending on my faint memory of the drama to understand the plot. lol

Wei Wuxian teaching Jin Ling how to fight was so sweet.

I had already forgotten that Mo Xuanyu liking men was actually mentioned in the donghua.


The foods in this scene are just photos, aren't they? lol The lighting on them is different than the rest of the picture.

I really love this episode. it was faster in events, but it still gives us a lot of moments, info and hints about the mystery in a good way.
and they actually follow the novel pretty well, consider they don't have much screen time to show much they include so many moments and even more with Wei ying and Lan Zhan

I very much enjoyed this episode! Had to rewatch twice already. I like how its becoming more obvious that Lan Zhan is attracted to Wei Wuxian. I loved the scene where Wei Wuxian helped out Jin Ling and how Jing Ling defended him from bullies.

At this point, how many uncles does Jin Ling have???? I feel like half the main cast is his uncle.

Your post about Jin Ling's uncles reminded me of this summary that I saw once XD

Kinda nutty how high the production values are for this series. The art and animation are seriously on a movie quality level and the writing doesn’t hold it back one bit. What does hold it back a little for me is that I cannot for the life of me remember all these names and clan politics. I can get by for the most part from context, but it does hurt my investment because I can’t really think progressively about what will happen or the full significance of certain things.

I have trouble remembering their names too! I think that because the names are from a different language, it makes it harder to remember as well. It definitely doesn't help that many characters look alike. But yes do try to remember their names! You only need to remember their first name since many have the same last name because they are from the same clan. Also the Lan clan wears white and blue, Jin clan wears Yellow, remember the colors!

This is going really fast... Just like episode 3. I am a bit disappointed they're rushing. Or have to rush?

ahhhhhh all of Lan Zhan's gentle smiles and looks at Wei Ying are just too damn cuuuuute!

And I really appreciate the teaching moment between Wei Ying and Jin Ling.

This post always cracks me up. I actually reread it slowly while inputting the names of all Jin Ling's uncles and the post makes 100% sense xD Wonderful!

I love how they did the mixing. They saved time by calling LXC earlier to encounter the corpse. It is different from canon, but it still stays true to characters. I'm fine with it as long it's not making major character changes :)

Donghua team are going all loose this season with Wangxian. WWX already tied up, LWJ drunk af, LXC already bearing witness. LXC had quite the shocker in a span of few minutes haha.

Jin Ling hiding behind A-Yao is so adorable! I'll also have to make that smiley face of A-Yao as my profile pic. Donghua team's animation is top notch as always. Even the CGI is nice, some of it I can only notice if I really focus.

Weirdly I like Qin Su's appearance more in the manhua. Not that she's bad looking in donghua (really cute). But she was soo gorgeous in the manhua. Still glad it wasn't her who's been harassed by Mo Xuanyu like the change CQL made....but they added bestiality??

But why are official subs so informal or lacking?! E.g 'Yao'? 'Xichen'? It's A-Yao (for LXC) and Er-ge (Second brother). Guodongsubs' are better with subs, I hope they do this season as well

omg they adapted the scene where Wei WuXian is tied up with Lan WangJi's forehead ribbon. Holy shit!



Lan clan forehead ribbon meaning bellow, spoilers from the novel!


screams

WangXian interactions are sooooooo gay in this season, I think the production just gave the finger to censorship. Not that I think we are getting kisses and some hot scenes, but you can tell that they are in love in those scenes, with no doubt.

Oh my, this is getting better and better.
The drinking session was hilarious. No wonder they get drunk so easily if they don't eat while drinking as evident from the untouched food on the table.
Them ignoring the dead waiter and going back to the lodging as if nothing had happened gave me a WTF moment. THE GUY HAS BEEN MURDERED FOR HE KNEW TOO MUCH. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Oooops, bad owners forgot to feed their pet BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO DRUNK TO CARE and now look at the mess it's made! That's why most hotels have strict rules against bringing a dog with you, kids.
Look at his face, big bro's just seen something extremely NSFW. That his little brother not only is a homo, but also into BDSM - imagine his reaction when he learns that this Mo Something-or-other nobody is actually the Yiling Patriarch.
Gotta love zoophilia jokes in otherwise censored Chinese cartoons.
Wei Ying creeped out others with the 'HAHAHA I'M SO GAY' shtick. Until it was a joke no more... മ് ധ മ്

I hope I'm not the only one who loved the scene of the juniors drinking 😂 Jingyi shamelessly getting wasted and Jin Ling asking for Zizhen made me lose it, plus Sizhui lowkey judging them

Ok, so this is about episode 7. I know I am putting it under 5 but I can't seem to make a new form. There isn't a big spoiler in this post but it's more like I need to say that you WILL either cry or be pissed off or both on how this ends in a cliff hanger.

You can now watch episode 7 under a YouTuber. Although you have to pay $2 for it I think getting the episodes a week in advance is totally worth it. Plus there are other shows on there as well. (Tencent Video- animation) thats the channel for anyone looking for it!
