| Is it real that I read that this anime is currently NUMBER 22 on the top anime rankings?! I might go ahead and watch this, but so far I'm not because of the subs. |
Renrane said: Is it real that I read that this anime is currently NUMBER 22 on the top anime rankings?! I might go ahead and watch this, but so far I'm not because of the subs. Honestly, these are better subs than most other Chinese donghua that I've watched in the past and am currently watching. Don't expect it to be 100% grammatically correct. Most donghuas do not get subbed since it's not as popular... So we can only be glad it even has subs. Vedrun said: As I've read the novel I can promise you the overall plot is amazing. And I think they've done a nice job adapting so far^^ Ya'll keep complaining about subs being too fast and make it sound like that's the shows fault. Chinese is a very fast language. I have watched no donghua until now where I DIDN'T have problems keeping up with reading. If you gotta blame someone either blame it on the Chinese language for being too fast or the English for being too slow. YA'LL DON'T WANT ME TO GET STARTED ON GERMAN SUBS I'd probably get to read 1 word out of 10 before the subs change lol Agreed. When I first started watching Chinese donghuas, it took me a while to get used to how fast they talk and how quick the subs go by.. But once I got used to it, I started watching Chinese dramas... Now, I've kind of just learned how to read and process Chinese subs fast.. And if I didn't catch what they said, I'll just rewind it a little bit. There's no harm in doing that.

| OH MY F*CKING GOD. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. It's probably the prettiest animation visuals I've seen. I was transfixed by how goddamn gorgeous it looked. Seriously, every frame is like an art piece. I can't get over it. I followed most of the story. I'm sure I'll get more of it as the episodes go on, it's the same with Mo Dao Zu Shi - it took a little while to understand that as well but that just adds to the mystery for me. I totally get why this is rated so high after watching it though. Seriously, just look at it. I'll admit, the subtitles are a little hard to read but that's hardly the fault of the show. |

| It was so beautiful when Hua Cheng extended his hand and then the hand holding, with that music it was so beautiful! But I was wondering why did Xie Lian went along with him just like that without asking anything ＼(￣▽￣;)／ They kept showing his ikemen jaw wish they showed the full face XD |

| Do we have a name for the insert song that began when Hua Cheng entered the scene? It is so beautiful <3 I'm aware they won't be able to adapt it as it is, but I'm still satisfied with how they are handling it atm :) Perhaps I'll re-read the novel from the beginning later <3 |

| That was good! Esp the last 5 min ;^; Firstly i'm novel reader, i think they did nice job adapting it, really looking forward the rest of the series! Actually it's been a long time since i logged on my MAL acc...since i just made it out of curiousity few years ago but never use it lol, but i logged again since my fav novel got anime/donghua adaptation & just to rate tgcf show lol |
| I'm guessing you need to read the web comic first before watching this. I have absolutely no idea what's going on, sure does look pretty though. |
Oh now they decide to translate the lyrics.. |
| Just started to watch this right after MDZS - is anyone familiar with both novels? I really liked MDZS, mostly due to the darker / gloomy / serious aspects. I don't care about the slice-of-life-ish and BL parts, I know how the fandom adores these, but it's the least appealing part of the series for me. Based on the first episode, my impression is that TGCF is focusing more on the lighter parts / comedy compared to MDZS. Is it something to expect going forward as well, or the tone will change? It's not that I did not like the first episode, it was quite engaging, just a bit lacking compared to MDZS (even though the animation here looks sooo much better). |

It'll get darker when they reach flashback episodes. War, disease, mutilation, suicide, etc.. Thing is, none of the central characters this time are human and we're presented situations from their viewpoints. |

It will get darker at later arc, for me especially past arc, sometimes i just can't stand it because it's so cruel and sad. |
| Thanks for the replies, that's reassuring. I will keep watching. In fact, I started to read the Chinese version of the novel, already at chapter 5 :D |
Janeator said: Can someone tell me what happened here? Everything made sense to me up until the end. Who is this Ghost Groom? Typically in MXTX novels the beginning part of the first chapter with foreshadow major plot elements that happened in the past, but we will learn about later (usually through vague rumors and hearsay by non-relevant characters), and then the actual story starts in chapter 2. This flashback in ep 1 seems to be an adaptation of that, but it seems the visual medium of animation makes things much less subtle. This flashback is a sneak peak into the story of book 2, which new viewers have no context for yet, so for now just treat it as fanservice for novel readers. Everything will be explained in time, but book 1 (this season) is all just foreshadowing for the main plot |

Ace_Hollow said: Its top rated so i gave it a shot... i dont get it. The art is weird and the subs are terrible. Really hard to follow. Its prolly just me. Normally i just walk bad anime like this... but its really bad. Maybe in the future i'll come back with a dub or something to understand and be embarrassed that this is my first impression but i really dont get the hype TGCF is part of the xianxia genre (which in china is as popular as isekai is here) and is a slowburn aimed at mature audiences, so this story assumes the viewer has consumed a good amount of similar content and knows they need to have patience for the story to finish establishing it's setting before starting it's epic tale. This is probably where the plot lost you. Even if you wind up dropping the show after the dub comes out, I recommend looking into the xianxia genre a little bit, as it is an extremely interesting subgenre of fantasy and very unlike almost anything currently adapted to anime. |

| I love the animation!! I also love the character dynamics and how smooth the action is. Already addicted. |
louloululu said: hi, do i need to read the novel in order to understand this anime? As someone who hasn't read the novel, i'm following this perfectly well. I only read the first chapter (or how I call it, the intro chapter) a long time ago. Perhaps the flashbacks at the end of ep1 were a bit confusing, not sure if they'll go back to that later. But I did watch/read MDZS and SVSS, so I'm introduced to the Chinese fantasy genre to some extent. I think that might be a bit confusing to total new comers |
Samlikekaya said: Hello! I'm a noobie and I've been wondering this for a while now, is this a bl or like what? I'm fine with them just being good friend and tbh I don't care weather or not they are, I mean the mc's are boys and in the show gay relationships seem fine so uh can someone help me out here? The novel itself is bl, but the show is not due to censorship. (Tho our main couple have the same level of chemistry as "the cousins" from sailor moon so its gonna be obvious) and also *gestures vaguely at San Lang* There is no heterosexual explanation for this That being said there's also a good chunk of non-binary and genderfluid characters that constantly swap the gender they present as, so theres a chance that the staff might be able to find loopholes through that |

Rest of them have reasons for changing their gender that has nothing to do with personal preference. |
Vsegda7 said: There is only one character that can be considered genderfluid and I'm not even sure it was directly stated by the author. Rest of them have reasons for changing their gender that has nothing to do with personal preference. Yeah that's why I said "present as" rather than "genderswap". Since it was mentioned in the novel that then its entirely within the realm of possibility that we might see female presenting HC, in order to bypass censorship. |

m7g said: Well strictly speaking... There's only one deity who actually transforms on a whim and obviously enjoys it. Or am I forgetting someone?.. Nothing is explicitly stated, but if we use the process of deduction then we can conclude that, due to everyone being able to change forms (and choosing to do so), there's a high likelyhood that many of the gods/ghosts we meet are some form of non-binary/ genderfluid. Especially Update: The only reason I'm not ruling out fem presenting HC is because I've seen chinese BL novel adaptations full on change a character's gender before in order to make it not gay. I know it sounds silly, but its a real thing that happens, especially with drama adaptations. |

Nami_Kagari said: I've never even heard of the novel before but DAMN that last scene was friggin amazing and that was the scene that made me go "yup I'm all in let's do this I have only a minimal idea of what's happening but Im here for it."The last five minutes was so damn powerful.

| Not a huge fan, maybe if it was an hour long I'd have felt more into it. It just has the same old anime cliches I'm not a fan of anymore. |
