| I thought the scene of Nan Feng and Fu Yao getting pulled up into the twister was funny in the novel, and I was not disappointed in the donghua version either. Them barking at each other and their facial expressions was gold! XD I always welcome Hualian fluff too. San Lang seemed disappointed that he was careless enough that he caused Xie Lian to get stung. At least that is my interpretation. |

| Nice episode! Fengqing expression are hilarious lmao... Suprised that they kept the sucking scene....wondering how far they can go for future Hualian scene?hmmmm |
| That one scene that most people have mentioned... With Xie Lian getting stung and the poison and whatever... And then San Lang's expression when he gets rid of the offending snake. Like. AHDFOSHIlijfdaljadsjklfdaa;dlksfkl;jdsl;jadfaskl;adfl; And okay, besides that.. The translations I'm seeing are pretty MEH. First they translate "gege" (older brother literally, but uh, not really, more like, endearing, idk) as "Lian" (like what) and second "CUZ I CAN'T" was an actual translation for a line. Who the heck translates and then uses "cuz" Please tell me I was watching some fan translation... But no wait, even fan translations tend to be better... |

AC9123 said: idk maybe they try to avoid the bro thing lmao....."gege" does literally mean “older brother,” but it’s definitely not being used like that. It’s definitely a pretty intimate form of address when used in this context...If I called a guy that I’m not literally related to “gege,” it would definitely mean something...in China, if a girl calls you “gege”, it represents that your relationship is much closed even be intended as subtly flirtatious. But i def agree with the trans kinda off......they should have let it as "gege" imo instead try to trans it to lian 😔...i mean its HC's pet name for XL.First they translate "gege" (older brother literally, but uh, not really, more like, endearing, idk) as "Lian" (like what) |

dany_elle1908 said: instead of ranting be happy is a translation fast... at some i wait a LOT just change yourself as u read the meaning problem fix I mean of course I’m happy there are translations... but why couldn’t they have done a better job? Did they not have money or something. I have no idea. (And anyway I think I’d vaguely understand what was going on without subtitles, seeing as I read that part in the book already. Key word “vaguely”) |

| I don't remember too much about the current Arc I think, but I do remember it being my least favorite because it was as slow as many keep complaining about. I think it IS pretty underwelming for people who expect shit to go down right now. The short 'battle' scenes (when you can even call it that, lol) aren't that impressive, either. But it's still entertaining because at this time they focus more on the characters and their relationships. With every episode we learn more small details about the characters that are going to be very important later on when shit is REALLY going to go down. I can totally see people liking future seasons much more than the 1st one. Just like I liked the novel much more later on, as well. Loved Hualian's interactions in this episode were beautiful as well. I didn't think they'd show the poison sucking scene but I'm glad they did! |
dany_elle1908 said: instead of ranting be happy is a translation fast... at some i wait a LOT just change yourself as u read the meaning problem fix It is possible to critique something while still appreciating and enjoying it. Vedrun said: I don't remember too much about the current Arc I think, but I do remember it being my least favorite because it was as slow as many keep complaining about. Yeah, same. At this point in the novel, I remember being skeptical as to whether I'd want to continue reading. I'm glad I decided to keep reading because eventually I was completely hooked - it definitely paid off - but the plot does take a while to really get moving while the pieces of the characters' intertwined histories gradually come together. |
| 'Lian' instead of 'gege' threw me off too. San Lang's expression was like :[ at one point, that cracked me up. |

| Ooo this was a good ep! |

DruMzTV said: so yea im not bored when watching this show but im also not really entertained. Its a 6.5/10 for me right now. Even as a fan, my assessment would not be too different. I'm enjoying it, but it has not yet gotten to the point where the characters and relationships are truly interesting. Moreover, many of the main characters have yet to even be introduced. I can understand why some people would not have the patience with the pacing. DruMzTV said: I also dont like the gay ship that is going on. Not a big fan of this development. There are times where im in the mood for gay shows cuz its a breath of fresh air, but sometimes im simply not. And this anime is not tagged as a yaoi show so im a lil bit upset. If id like to watch a gay anime i would watch the Given movie since S1 of the anime was pretty sick I don't know what to tell you. If it's this early in the story and the main relationship is already rubbing you the wrong way, maybe just drop it? I mean, on the one hand, Chinese censorship means that you won't likely see anything too demonstrative that would confirm the romantic nature of it - but it is still based on a danmei (Chinese equivalent of BL/yaoi) novel, and the relationship is a very significant part of the story. DruMzTV said: i can understand your peeps excitement about your CN LN getting adapted but lets evaluate the present and what we have. Dunno if the season will end on a climax, but from what it looks like... Probably not. (Dont spoil me if im wrong.) Rating here reminds me of Current AoT S4 where everyone spams the *anime* with a 10 because of what theyve *read* in the manga. these are 2 seperate mediums and the anime should be rated in terms of how well it **adapts** the content of the original source and how well it translated it into anime. its wrong to rate an anime based off the manga counterpart. I don't disagree, but everyone has their own way of determining how they rate something. For example, I refuse to rate something unless (1) I've completed it, or (2) I've gotten to the point that I feel it's necessary to drop it. (Therefore, I haven't given TGCF a rating yet.) Moreover, I try to take various elements of it into consideration (plot, character development, relationships, soundtrack, animation/cinematography, etc). I also factor how much I enjoyed it/felt engaged in spite of its flaws. But some people may rate simply based on their love/enthusiasm for something. I understand where you're coming from, but there's no point in getting upset over people rating differently than you; people are going to do what they want to do. DruMzTV said: Anyway, despite this maybe "negative" post, i hope im welcome into the "Donghua Community" as i plan on watching a couple more mainstream shows like MDZS, Kings Avatar and a few others. Just in case you didn't know, MDZS is based on a novel by the same author as TGCF. The two (male) main characters are romantically involved in the source material. The romance develops later in the storyline compared to TGCF, so it's hard to say at this point how much of it will or will not be censored in the donghua. I'm not sure what it is you don't like about the "gay ship" in TGCF when gay content is apparently sometimes acceptable to you, but thought you should know ahead of time. |
| @DruMzTV I totally agree with you. The thing is just... It's very hard (at least for me) to just ignore that I know the whole story already. Because I know the story, I see hidden meaning in the character's interactions and a certain anticipation that "outsiders" don't see and feel hence they don't enjoy it as much. Because I can imagine that THIS is exactly what prevents it from becoming boring at certain points. So it's less people rating it high because it's their favorite novel, but more that they just get more enjoyment out of it. The first season is more or less an "instruction season" you could say. |
DruMzTV said: maybe i prefer more homosexuality explored in anime when its more open and acceptable towards gay stuff. Most likely not a perfect reason but hard to explain No, actually, that does make sense. The homophobia some of the characters express is also grating to me. I just ended up loving TGCF (and MDZS) so much overall that I am willing to overlook it. |
| Great episode, as per. I can't believe there's only four episodes left of this season. I might have to go read the novel once it's finished. It's still crazy to me that despite not really knowing a single word of Chinese, I can understand a few of the characters in the subtitles just because it's the same as the kanji. |

| The editing remains off on occasion with there being awkward silence before some cuts. The gay moments between the leads is done decently well, but I wish it was done a little more naturally. It isn’t as bad as some other shows, but it does feel fanservice-y. |
| I really enjoyed this episode as well. I personally don't mind the slowness and step-by-step revealing this donghua is doing. It's not unbelievably boring like some top anime on MAL that you need to watch to __ep to really enjoy. Characters are very pleasing and that's a very big thing for me. Animation and art is like a cherry on top. And if they do arcs like the first one, I have no worries for the plot. MXTX (author) probably left a ton of foreshadowing and clues already in these episodes, so pay attention. On the side note. I adore XL's silk and the reactions of everyone when they were tied. |
| Oh dear, San Lang acts like a good but still mischievous child when he's around Xie Lian. (╯▽╰ ) ♥ |
