Tachibana Shinosuke as Lan Zhan doesn't suit at all, his personality changed with this voice ( ̄▽ ̄), Lan Zhan's voice should be more deeper...
They should've gone with the audio drama VA, Hino Satoshi sounded much better as Lan Zhan.

The OP is too typical, for Mo dao zu shi both OP and ED should be soothing.
Loved the ED by Aimer (♥▽♥)

Nonetheless, Original is way better.

This got my interest. The dub might be pretty good, so I'm looking forward to it (especially with Kaji Yuki in it).
The only problem I have is with the opening. It sounds like a generic shounen opening and it doesn't fit the atmosphere of the show at all. The Chinese opening was perfect, but this? Not even close.
ChroNoiR Episode.0 is the best anime to ever exist

Kanae forever in my heart

Reading that character list with backwards manes gave me a eadache.. Adn they even left Su She as it is.

Both Japanese and Chinese have last names first, so please do everyone's sanity a favor and leave them as is.

That's quiet a casts right there. Ngl, if i was a fan of this anime, i would be very ecstatic seeing the casts, lol.
Too bad, I'm not into this kind of anime, but i do know someone who will love it. So I'll just go and recommend this to her now that it has a JP dub XD

If you are not into shounen ai, then that depends. I am not one too, but I watched it and its pretty good. The story is better than majority of donghua.
Those manhua that you mentioned are probably amateurs' works, somehow they get popular. I recommend true manhua like Feng Shen Ji, Xi Xing Ji, The Ravages of Time, and Biao Ren (it goes downhill after chapter 70 or so)

Honestly, I prefer the original Chinese sub, but I'll give this a shot while I wait for the third season.

I am kinda happy to see there is a Japanese option. I am really curious on how different this series may feel in a different language!

I think I'll watch this in Chinese and then rewatch it in Japanese when that version gets released. It'll be interesting to see how the Japanese dub performs.

Awwww :( This would definitely attract more fans. But, I feel like people should appreciate the Chinese dubbing more, and just watch it in Chinese. :(

They have pretty good cast there and Aimer is always a plus, her voice is beautiful.

Lol I completely get a different feel from the Japanese dub and the song choices for OP and ED, so I'm guessing the Japanese dub will lean towards a more shounen-ish atmosphere. I know some fans would be disappointed but honestly, the donghua is made to be action-packed as much as possible by extending/adding lots of new action scenes while the main focus of the novel is actually the characters and the ideas behind their actions.

So I think the Japanese staff actually has a good catch on the atmosphere and just simply makes it become completely shounen lmaooooo. This new trailer is better than all the Chinese trailers we got for season 1 lol. The tension is real.

This is good news. Many people on MAL are weebs, so this might bring more awareness to the series with a Jap dub.

I like dub more than sub because I am not a weeb.
