I miseed the comedy part in this epiaode. the "oh, I'm going to defeat him alone and let you die" isn't the funniest... Just finished this novel in Vietnamese (They have tons of translated Chinese novel compare to Japanese Light Novel and the language is pretty close). You guys can ask me anything. Basically Lil Moon Moon tried to "accidentally" kill all of his teammate by using "aggro" (which is the case which damage dealer deal too much damage and tank cannot hold aggro, basic mmo term) in order to get all the loots and xp. He thought Ye Xiu is a noob and a healer so Moon Moon plan to keep him alive and kill him last in order to help kill the boss (He need a healer and he cannot kill the boss by himself). Ye Xiu realize he was messing with the aggro and stop healing to keep the aggro on Moon Moon. Ye Xiu also confident he can 1v1 the boss easily and wait till the guy die. The funny part is Moon Moon did not believe Ye Xiu can 1v1 the boss by himself so he start off by ordering- threatening then finally begging. He curse a lot at the end. I understood what happened (though I still didn't really get the aggro part, just understood it can harm the player). But it wasn't funny, as it was obvious. |

| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |

| Aside from the CG, the animation for this anime is on Ufotable's level! It's gorgeous!! Plus this Chinese anime is badass! |
 |
| at first chinese language in an anime sounds weird af but as you watch it till the end it feels like i'm just watching a normal japanese anime. actually they made it as good as japanese anime and the music is great as well. i'm liking the story cuz ye xiu has memories about the game and what i want watch more is as he play the game he remember some parts he was completed before with a boy, seems like it was his friend. its my first time to watch an anime that is not japanese but it is a well made for chinese people. looking forward for more of this |
| Far too much cg, and it felt like a lot of things were cut out. Also, it feels like they're going to skip everything that has to do with skill and just go with standard shounen OP stuff instead. It makes me wonder if they understood the source material at all. Hopefully it'll get better. |
| This was bad and if anyone has ever watched any other anime in their lives to compare this to, I can't see how that person can give this a stamp of approval. This is the Handshakers tier garbage of the spring season. |
 |
| So why do average Chinese animations like this and Gin no Guardian get put on MAL like it's officially Japanese anime; but other non-Japanese shows like RWBY get outcasted and labeled "not anime"? The admins of MAL are bizarre. Anyway, this was an okay episode...a little too melodramatic. |

| Interesting start, surprised to see he didn't even wait a day to get back into the game. I thought that would go against the contract. |

How is this "Handshaker tier"?... the CG is 1000 times better implemented here than in that series which I assume is your criticism, even though your post doesn't actually say shit about why this is bad. |

The admins of MAL are bizarre. Anyway, this was an okay episode...a little too melodramatic. Not really taking sides on this issue but it's kind of a problem because the word anime means such different things to different people. If we consider RWBY as an anime then it's going to be because of its presentation style and storytelling inclinations, right? then that means something is defined as anime because of those factors, so then something like Crayon Shin Chan really wouldn't be anime, since RWBY is far closer in style to the vast majority of what's usually considered as anime. But then it becomes really subjective regarding when a show crosses that line to become anime, Avatar would probably be there but how about stuff like Samurai Jack? maybe Steven Universe? I think in the end the majority definition of anime is simply going to expand into including Chinese and maybe South Korean productions as the animation industry in those countries grows. I personally think that the kind of subconscious definition of anime for most people in Western countries is an animated show with a very different cultural background and flavor to it that makes it sort of exotic by nature. You're right. I forgot that the Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans are all basically the same anyway. |

| chinese shit. why is it even listed as anime |
| Hmm, it's okay so far. Not gonna lie, I was expecting a lot more out of this. Art and animation is top notch. Soooo good... I too, was expecting the game to be like DoTA or LoL, but I guess it's not. Kinda makes no sense that the MC would give up his account like that and retire... like wtf. And the villains are already so boring and 1 dimensional. MC is pretty boring too, just your typical "omg he's the best at this" anime dude who obviously has higher morals than the rest of the characters 'cause he's just that good of a person. Bleh. But I'll still keep watching this. I've always thought that an esports themed anime would make an interesting show to watch. |

But I'll still keep watching this. I've always thought that an esports themed anime would make an interesting show to watch. From the impression given, the account was owned by the club and not really his so he had no choice but to give it away. It is explained that since he is no longer of value, he wanted to terminate his contract with the team which would result in penalties in the form payment but since the manager knows that he has no money, he came up with the terms that if the MC retire then he wouldn't have to pay. |
| Oh god I'm so excited. The art is nice, the voice acting is nice, it's satisfying to watch Ye Xiu kickass, I'm down for a good "hero returns from the ashes" story...all my simple pleasures are here. The action is wonderful to enjoy without needing to read subs. An anime (if it can still be called that) in Mandarin is truly a rare pleasure. Honestly the fact it's in Mandarin makes me very biased towards it. And I must say I LOVE Ye Xiu's voice. Especially when he gets all smug at the end. Ahhhhh Great simple entertainment, which is exactly what I need in an anime (Chinese cartoon? Dong hua pian??) every now and then. |

| We all know who'll claim the coveted Aegis at TI7. *chants* TnC! TnC! TnC! Now will somebody explain to me how GLORY functions as a f*cking eSports. If it was a MOBA or an FPS or heck an RTS I wouldn't be having problems. But its an MMORPG (gotta cash in on the MMORPG craze amirite?) and balancing all the different skills and gears is practically impossible. DotA is balanced because all the heroes can be countered (except Wisp because beepbopbeep is god-tier glorious) not just by other heroes but by items readily available to everyone. In an MMO, all those different gears are not readily accessible to everyone and all the interactions they have will practically break the game balance, alienate the pros, and the game goes to whoever is the Jesus-kun wielding the Jesus-kun sword because it's not a matter of skills, reflexes, map awareness, and good game sense anymore. And the GLORY's viewership must be horribly small or dedicated because the amount of skills and gears to keep track of must get terribly confusing so good luck with sponsorship. I know there are MMOs experimenting with an eSports appeal but GLORY just doesn't feel that way. And no, before somebody comes along and says "Well Quan Zhi Gao Shou is accurate and shows trolls and Leroy Jenkins and its funny becuase you can relate etc etc etc.", well so did Phantasy Star Online and that show was atrocious. In summary: EG! EG! EG! Oh wait, I meant TnC! TnC! TnC! |

It's THAT type of anime and THAT type of story that I've seen over and over. I will stick to watching it for a review's sake but my senses are telling me not to expect much. If this was a MOBA then their job would be much easier and the margin for error would be smaller. There are plenty of sensational and exciting DotA matches for example that rivals a lot of mediocre anime series. Case in point: the fight at the end of episode 1. (No, I'm not calling it a raid.) If we go by equipment difference, MC-kun would have aggro'd that boss in no time. |

If you are afraid of all those writing problems then it doesn't really matter what genre the game is set in as things like asspulls can always be thrown in if the author is being lazy or incompetent, MOBA or no it doesn't matter. Also how can you say GLORY has balance issues when they haven't even showcased how the professional tournaments are played. The fight you are talking about, he was only healing and not actually attacking the boss so he wouldn't have taken aggro, at least not as easily compared to the tank. |

| Gotta say, the first episode was super average. While the animation of the characters isn't bad compared to most Japanese produced anime, the background characters are on PS2 level. Also mandarin sounds like shit so this is probably gonna be tough. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| It was OK. Has potential, and I hope isn't so slow ,In getting the episodes. |
| Less CGI would have been nicer but otherwise this looks pretty good :D |
| that wasn't half bad |

Though I think a flaw of the anime is that it doesn't go into detail about the gaming aspect of the show. The novel explains the skills and stuff, but the anime glosses over them with cool special effects and animation. So it'll draw the attention of action-fans but I imagine this will annoy many actual gamers... |

| Don't know why, MC's voice is so fking sexy |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Much better than expected, and the ed song was totally Kickass. |
| As someone who can speak chinese, this was quite unbearable to my ears. Not that its bad or anything, its just that after watching anime for years in Japanese, its SUPER awkward to hear it in chinese that I speak. Especially with the subtitles there it makes it even more awkward. Its kind of like people watching anime in Japanese and having to listen to it in english dubbed, it just sounds god awful for many people. Maybe for people who don't understand chinese it wouldn't make that much of a difference, but because I can understand it, it makes me cringe so hard lol The art and everything else is actually quite amazing though~ |

| My main language is french, but i got the opportunity to learn mandarin in China for two years. Which is better, japanese or mandarin ? Mandarin sounds really bad, or really weird unlike japanese sounds really beautiful. But one point I prefer mandarin, this is sounds more realistic for me, even if the words are stretched af. Both language has their pros and cons, a change does not hurt :p. I really like this first ep, even if the hero is really like the typical chinese, who is really withdrawn, can't express his real emotion in the first ep when he had to give his account to the new captain. (If it was me I gonna punch him for sure xD) But overall I like his personality for now, also Mu Cheng such a beauty and a person that can help the hero to develop in life and in game. Going to watch the next ep. |
huahulan said: MortalMelancholy said: Don't know why, MC's voice is so fking sexy I have the same feeling, he is the popular voice actor in China XD but confused and sad...why everybody feels Chinese language is sharp??? Dunno. Chinese has like, 3 or 4 different ways to pronounce a single vowel sound, so I assume the language needs to be particularly accurate/crisp? |

Which is the same with chinese, people from different parts of China have super different accents that sometimes sound like a totally different language~ |

But i really don't see any "sharp" problems in this anime (some part is awkward an d unnatural though...) Yeah, southern china accent is not sharp, usually only Shanghai and above like Beijing or Shenyang accents are pretty sharp because they are in the north |
