| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great episode as usual! All that injustice is sooo infuriating! I can't wait to see the end of their clan. MC is just perfect! We see a cliffhanger. Looking forward to the next episode! <3 |
| I still have absolutely no clue what this series is about after 8 episodes. No clue at all. Is the MC strong or weak? Wasn't he possessed by a demon or smth in the first episode? |

After Lan Wangji threw the apple in the air in ep 2, everything that has happened so far are flashbacks! It's telling the past of when Wei Wuxian was still alive and in his own body. (In ep 1, Mo Xuanyu called forth Wei Wuxian's soul by sacrificing and offering his body in exchange. Mo wanted Wei to get revenge for him.) |
| Confusing as fuck, I watched some episodes twice and still had no idea where things are developing. How exactly it got that 8.22 score?. |
| Wait this was all a flashback? I thought MC was the reincarnated guy the whole time... This ep was pretty brutal though. I'm worried that he got branded right at the end there. |

You're faulting the score, when you're not able to follow along? I went in blind and if you pause and rewind a bit at parts you don't understand you'll get it. You have to pay attention as there's a large cast and factions kinda like how AoT has a large ensemble. |

Most watchers are novel readers I guess, but I can understand why you feel confused. Since ep 3 we are having a flashback arc, explaining the main char's relationship with other people (who would play a role in the main char's demise). There is no development of real story yet. Oh... any prediction of how many episodes more this way? |
glaceon_cute said: shiro_kai said: Oh... any prediction of how many episodes more this way? Hmmm this season has 15 episodes and we have 6 eps left, I'm guessing that the flashback would last at least 3 more eps. Leaving 3 last episodes for the presence. The interview with the staff said that this season is mostly all flashback anw so I don't expect much, although I really want to see the presence 😭 Just to explain, this season covers main char's past when he still around 15,16. This part is important to explain his reason for becoming "evil", and his relationship with LWJ (blue guy) and JC (the purple guy) - who are closest to him and play large role in main char's development. I'm not sure they will cover the flashback when he is 20 and becomes "evil" and all in this season, but I don't think so since it would be a big spoiler? The real story will be related to the hand we saw in ep 1 and 2, and about revealing the secret of the past that lead main char to his downfall. Look's more interesting, good to know. |

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted what you said, but it seemed like you implied the score was undeserved simply because you found it confusing. Of course it's subjective, but as a donghua only viewer, I'm really enjoying it. It's the first show I've actually look forward to in a while. I expect my rating to be and 9 or 10 upon finishing. If it's characters you're having trouble with then here's a handy relationship chart. Source |

Source I'm amazed by the soundtrack and the art, I think I was just not eable to fully enjoy the show yet because I always caught myself wondering: "what and why are they doing this today". Thank you for the chart. |
| I hope rat face and female rat face die many horrible deaths... shiro_kai said: I'm amazed by the soundtrack and the art, I think I was just not eable to fully enjoy the show yet because I always caught myself wondering: "what and why are they doing this today". Thank you for the chart. I was like you before. I watched the first two episodes first before reading the novel and it's definitely rather confusing, especially for me who's not used to hearing spoken chinese. They speak fast and the language generally packs more information per word when translated to english. Along with reading the many, many hard-to-pronounce names... well a lot of the obvious information shown just flew over my head. Like, I just found out after watching ep 4 that it's been flashback all along since ep 3, haha. Thanks to reading comments and for someone to spell it out it's a gddamn FLASHBACK to me XD. Past and present MC's similarities in design doesn't help. adrian_and_sela said: Wait this was all a flashback? I thought MC was the reincarnated guy the whole time...

I really admire you for being able to continue despite not knowing it's been flashback for several episodes already XD |
Ioryogi-kun said: I really admire you for being able to continue despite not knowing it's been flashback for several episodes already XD No, I've been really enjoying the show and finding out about all the clans. The fight scenes are great and I love watching it. But the whole time I thought it was the same guy from the first episode and that he was reincarnated and was concealing his identity from everyone else. |

Past and present MC's similarities in design doesn't help. That's certainly another thing that astonish me, sometimes they barely open the mouth but a whole speach comes out. I usually try watch the episode at 90/80% speed at VLC. |
shiro_kai said: I'm enjoying and it is not confusing, in fact this is the easiest anime to watch. The only thing difficult is the names, I can't pronounce or remember their spelling. Where we are now is the flashback phase, how Wei Wuxian caused the incident for him to be so despised.CtrlZED said: You're faulting the score, when you're not able to follow along?

| Finally starting to see some actual story, though I don't get why the other clans just let the Wen clan do what they want to do. I thought the clans were fairly equal to each other, don't think it was mentioned that the Wen clan is the most powerful or whatever. |
| The Wen Clan is losing the papers! :/ Well, the "Prehistoric Turtle" likes eat humans!!! kekeke |
| this is so bad... and yet so good :') |
| things got serious all of a sudden..in the future we do not see the red clan...don't know what happened to it |

| 一鑊熟? jk lol |

| I get Jiang cheng’s mother has gonna through a lot and has gotten hurt, but she shouldn’t hurt her own son for self gratification. She’s a toxic person. |
| If is not a exultant comment about how "great" something is, it can't be made? Why? |
| 8 episodes in and I'm disappointed with myself that I still can't remember any names other than Wei, every time they mention character names that are not on screen I'm completely lost because I have no clue who they are talking about, I only know them by face T.T |
| The Wen Clan is abusing its power! I'm waiting to see a good punishment for that jerk. He's are crossing the line big time, and how embarrassing can it be for not knowing an ancestor's saying if it's written in a book? XD Wei couldn't help but mock him. Nice! Ouch... that ending is worrisome >>; |
