| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WWX was so badass when he fought those bad guys. LWJ kneeling in front of WWX was kinda random, NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING THOUGH! ^.^ The ending scene with the toy was really adorable. Now it's the waiting game again for the next season. Gonna be the Yi City arc, trailer is out already. |
Yalthamen said: What the heck was that last scene I need context!!! Id seen it in previews but I thought it was gonna be curse mark hallucinations. WWX is so freaking adorable dude I don't even know what to do. Ahhhhhhhh help me! Now I'm gonna go on a mdzs donghua break until everything's subbed then binge re-watch S2. I thought it'd just be a hallucination too to pull WWX out of the curse mark hallucination but I guess in the donghua-verse they actually met when they were kids ;_; Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Now that this season only had 8 episodes I can't help but wonder, will next season be the last and they'll have to finish the story with 7 less episodes than originally planned or will they be able to do 45 episodes but in more seasons? |
Yalthamen said: Was 45 the original plan? Yeah I believe 3 seasons each 15 episodes long was what was originally announced |
| *Spoiler for who haven't watched episode 8 THIS IS SO FCKIN BLISSFUL WHEN I SAW THAT SCENE!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Overall, i gave a 7 to this season. I'm not lol mad cus of the changes, but lol was a tad rushed and sadly few cool moments were skipped. Saw raw all, so i'm happy, now waiting the sub as well. The way she died was coolin the novbel, and the events before and after, in the donghua they minimalized it hope the 3rd will be a bit longer |
The spider is watching |
| I knew it! Guangyao was the one! Can't believe I figured it out from the Live action. lol. I know they removed the BL from this donghua, but there is no heterosexual explanation for having that flashback of the childhood. When they show us flashbacks of characters meeting or crossing paths long before the start of the story, I don't really like it! No matter how cute it is. No matter how absolutely adorably cute!! It's interesting how Mo Xuanyu feels like a properly developed character, even though he is dead. I love how his death wasn't only used as a plot device for giving Wei Wuxian a second chance. I will re watch the episode again when Guodong subs it. They do a better job than the official channel on YouTube. |
| Baby Wei Wuxian has to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen I'm sad this season is already over, but that was a great arc I still have some difficulties sometimes to follow the plot and the characters even more, but it kept getting clearer and clearer throughout this second season. I guess I'll have to work at it just before the 3rd season begins (in 2020, I hope) |
| This season definitely suffered from it's short 8 episode count, it's sad that the story and characters kinda got reduced to bare bones. Plz don't kill me over the my opinions lol, I know MDZS fans can be quite...passionate. I've seen novel readers comment on a change to WWX's character in the novel he I have not read the novel but if the spoiler is true, I much prefer how events transpired there and wish it went down like that for donghua. Speculation time. I think WWX commited suicide, from the way he answered LWJ it seems pretty obvious. And the person that stabbed Shijie was the feral zombie of Papa Jin. |

Yalthamen said: CtrlZED said: And the person that stabbed Shijie was the feral zombie of Papa Jin. Wait what? He wasn't dead at that point tho? ...Wait Papa Jin isn't Jin Zixuan, I've seen that nickname around the fandom and just assumed it was Jin Ling's father lol. But NVM it can't be him, the pacing and the way the episode was edited made it seem like when WWX went to see Yanli and the battle took place in the same area. I was just confused haha and read your other thread, she was killed by a rando. |

| Episode was so underwhelming. I dislike the approach they took this season. Either stick to the past or the present. Instead we jumping back and forth. All they had to do was continue where S1 took off but they decided to skip 15 years ahead and then do these random flash backs while also trying to tell another story. I loved the flashbacks because obviously I want to know what happened, I just dislike how they went about it. And I also dislike how every time Lan Zhan talks about something serious Wei Xing passes it off as a joke. Like again this episode when he asked how he died. And then last episode the scene when Lan Zhan reveals that he knows its Wei Xing was so underwhelming. Once again I loved the series but the approach they took left a sour taste in my mouth. So 7/10 for me |
| I really liked the first season and felt I could follow and understand the story quite well. After completing the second season, I was left sort of confused and I have no IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING. Like when was the ghost general even a big deal? I guess I'll just have to wait for season 3 with hopefully more episodes to understand!!! But still, I loved the art and music and just the characters! |
nfinitdark said: While I am very glad some people seemed to enjoy this season, I did not. As a devout reader of the novel, all the changes, strange filler, and random pieces of flashbacks left me disheartened and dissatisfied. The whole point of the novel's 'redemption' theme was that WWX was culpable- he DID lose control, and in the present, he has a second chance to rectify his mistakes, reevaluate what is important to him and realize LWJ loves him unconditionally. The animators (and the live action) really 'dumbed down' his character. I really encourage anyone with an interest to read the book. It was good that B.C. May kept up the quality of the animation at least. The series is still beautiful and sounds great. I am not really looking forward to any subsequent seasons because I'm pretty sure it will be more of me grabbing my hair and yelling 'Why?!'. But I definitely hope that other viewers will find something that entertains them and makes them happy. My apologies if this sounded whiny. Also at this point, I don't have much hope for 'Scum Villain' or 'Heaven Official's Blessing' adaptations with the way Chinese censorship is going. Please light a candle. From what I got, Chinese censorship has a problem with grey morality. Unfortunately for us, that means cutting off a good chunk of WiFi's characterization SVSSS and TGCF shouldn't have the same problem |

| can't wait for season 3!! |
| Who would have thought. I AM CONFUSED. The super rushed feeling definitely did not help with understanding the story and the characters better. Man this show has insane amounts of potential but just feeling confused so often is just a little tiring. Love the characters, the animation and the music. Just absolutely hate the fact that Wei Wuxian looks identical to Mo Xuanyu. It makes it so hard and annoying to tell if this is a flashback or not. Edit: after rewatching it 2 years later.. How was I that confused? the timeline is so crystal clear. But this season was kind of a big step down from season 1. I don't particularly like the ghost hand story line. the flashback in season 1 was infinite amounts better. |

| This season was sooo rushed, sometimes it looked that it would be difficult to grasp the situation to anyone who didnt read the novel. I really hope so that they wont skip empathy part |
| Well that.. didn't really feel like an ending |
  |
| But how did Wei Wuxian die in the first, like Lan Zhan I'm confused! Who killed him, was it one of the ghosts or someone just killed him? That cliffhanger though, makes me more curious about the mystery! This season was really confusing, if it wasn't for this forum I Would've been lost! I owe much thanks to @Yalthamen for the wisdom on the series, otherwise I Would've given this less than 7. Thanks again. But it's a 9/10. |

| Anyone who ever says they liked this season better than season 1 is majorly capping. |
| Pretty good finale, but it's hard topping something as great as episode 7. Overall this season was I'd say just as good as season 1 or a little worse, but that doesn't stop me from giving it a 10/10. Great characters, world and story to keep me invested. Now the wait for a third season... |
| Well, that was quite the abrupt finale. I think I need to rewind stuff in my mind and try to connect the dots here, way too many things were happening simultaneously I'm afraid. I knew that one of the three brothers, if not more, is up to no good and sure enough, the most suspicious one drops another hint. Damn those seals on the formation and whatnot though, I wonder what he's game is here. Really curious on that Lan Clan's possible traitor too. Anyway, that was a cool little teaser in the end there. I'm a little surprised they decided to cut thing off here though, felt like we were a stretch away from the grand revelations in all honesty. Guess we're in the waiting game yet again, nevertheless. Hopefully, we won't be getting < 8 episodes this time around too. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the first season a bit more thanks to its relatively slower progression and thus more exploration which made the journey quite fun indeed. I was really captivated by the start of this season though but one too many from episode 4 or so to really keep a firm grip on. Thanks to the Character Designs, the transitions between the past and present timeline don't feel genuine either I've to say. Despite all this however, it's still been a great season of MDZS to watch! Animation's been crisp and stunning, all round. Characters getting a bit more of an up too was great to have and the overall mystery, while loose and daunting, is exhilarating. Much thanks to Tencent Video for releasing all the episode in YouTube, I hope they do the same for future seasons and for QuanZhi GaoShou too! => 7.80/10. |

| Why did they change it from the novel so much :( nothing has as much weight as it would've anymore... oof. Really, if you enjoy this donghua, do yourself a huge favor and go read the novel ;-; |
| Great, but not as good as the first season. This was a good sequel, thanks to this we got scene on past and present and this makes everything clear and some questions from the s1 have been answered. Now that Wei Wuxian has been revived and it looks he is not the villan at all, and the owner of the ghost hand was the mastermind of all the things. I'm excited to see 3rd season, I hope it will be interesting. |

| The starting 4 episodes were too hard to sit through, rest was ez. 7.5/10 |

| I love this series <3 I can't wait for season 3! |
| whoa they've met as kids, they're so cute as kids ;v |
 |
| They really did whatever they wanted to with this season, hah.... But well, I am a MDZS trash, so I will devour MDZS anything and be thankful. The Wangxian at the end was adorable. In fact, this anime...er, donghua Wangji is so expressive...that's adorable too. |
| can’t wait for yi city and hopefully we’ll get something close to the book’s original confession scene |
