| this show has me lost. the exposition at the beginning of some episodes where they just rattle off donzens of chinese names leaves me glassy-eyed and emotionally vulnerable. it's too hard to keep all of them straight. why couldn't they have gone with some easy names like Connor, Jake, or Bradley? |
| Because Chinese animation studios do not give two shits of a flying fuck about western audiences. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| At first it was hard for me to remember all the names, but eventually got used to it especially when reading the novel and manhua at the same time. |
| Aye, it's not the easiest thing to get used to. Thankfully i've been reading chinese novels for awhile so i'm used to it, but even so, it can be difficult. I'd recommend reading chinese novels to get used to the names.. |

| I'm mostly just hoping to remember by their looks honestly, way too many names and they all also feel so similar it's impossible for me to remember them. |

Hahaha. You, sir/madam, have a sense of humour. There is a helpful chart out there:  |

| This show is rated so high despite being a Chinese made anime wth |

The spider is watching |
| Oh thank god, I thought I was the only one who thought this. This show has a high rating yet I'm honestly having trouble understanding it. |

Xstasy said: Because it's not anime. And if you say that it is then you have to accept the fact that western shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and RWBY are anime as well and that they should be on MAL too you can't have it both ways. Is it hard to understand or are you thick? It's pretty common to have all these Asian shows in a single site. The same thing happens to China and Korea in the manga section in this site and with dramas from Japan, China, Taiwan etc. in K-Drama sites. Or should these be removed? By your logic, this site shouldn't even have Japanese comic books, since they are manga and not anime (MAL stands for MyAnimeList, so the animations from Korea and China are as close if not more to the name than manga from Japan). So, yes, you absolutely can have it both ways. These sites reunite media from specific countries in Asia and not from the whole world. |

I'm living in the future so the present is my past |
| So many people here suggest reading the novel to understand the show. In my opinion, if a shows needs additional material to be made sense of, its not a good show. |

| Thank god for this topic. I felt really stupid that I couldn't get through the first 2 episodes... I tried 2 or 3 times already to regain my courage and start watch again. It just bums me out, because I really loved Heaven Official's Blessing (Tian Guan Ci Fu) and was really getting into the vibes for Chinese shows. In some bits it goes too fast and I will have to rewind the last 5 minutes over and over again. Then it just does more dialog of which half of it I can't comprehend. HALP! ;__; Damnit... I just need to get through the first episode.... >.> |

Maybe I should just ditch this one and go for Ex-Arm or something. I heard that one was pretty good actually! Much easier to digest too :D |

SmhThis show is rated so high despite being a Chinese made anime wth Imma be honest, this was a troll thread I made over 3 years ago just because I didn't like the show and wanted to fuck around. I actually have taken 6 years of chinese in school so I understand it just fine. I just think the show sucks |
