Preliminary (9/16 eps)
I have to say in advance that I generally see not many Chinese anime, this because I gotten too used to the Japanese anime and I don't seem to find many Chinese ones. I will take that part on my shoulders. I however needed to read the subtitles a lot more then usually.
As there are not many people that seen this show, I will try to keep out the spoilers.

Story:
The story is quite well done, although I do have to say it gets confusing at times due to the 'need to focus on reading subs' thing. I did notice there were parts of the story that were attempts on being funny or helpful, but were failed attempts. This could be because a failure in translations, but it could also be that the story was written this way. It just gets annoying regardless.

There is slapstick humor that when added are hit and miss things. There is a scene where a boob gets touched when a male character trips. Of course with the woman freaking out and it turning into a break between the two for a bit that can be noticed in multiple episodes. There are more things like this that seemingly attempt a flowing storyline that includes humor. It just doesn't seem to flow nicely as both the intro as outro cause issues in this. The intro takes too long and the outro is just missing. The story suddenly stops suddenly which might be a bad thing.

The combat lacks severely, often also over in just a few attacks which is a bit odd, but there are Japanese anime that suffer as well from this flaw. If the studio would shorten the intro a bit and fit in a little more fighting scenes or additional info where needed it would be awesome.

In the last episode, or rather after the outro, there is a summary of what happened in this anime and you get a announcement for season 2 mentioned by one of the characters. The flashback/summary thing I couldn't care less for personally, but others might actually like it. The season 2 announcement is done right.

Characters:
The characters did have some of the Japanese anime characters ideas, but do act a bit differently which gives them a more own personality feeling. So that would be a positive thing in my book.

There is some form of skill and level progression for Lin An, but it isn't done in a smooth way and there for causes a disconnect to some extend. There is more to this, but then I will have to go into explaining while using spoilers. There is some sort of reasoning, but I feel this could have been explained better.

Graphics & Animations:
The graphics look rather basic, as if the studio left it with basic drawings and colorations. This could work in one point, but completely fail in another. So I do have mixed feelings regarding this. I do think it could have used more attention.

The animations are often flowing very nicely, running around or simple walking looks very good. Also other animations like clothing works amazingly well.

Sounds:
This is actually quite well done for a anime like this. You often hear background noises from other characters or environmental. I'd say this is good. Also the music is done nicely, although the intro song needs to grow on you if you don't watch Chinese anime often.

Final conclusion:
While it does have some flaws I can say it's well worth the effort watching this anime. It sure isn't the best out there, but not the worst either. Far from it even. I do hope the studio will take in my review and apply a little to season 2 where possible. If this anime had better graphics and the humor would have hit better, this might have been a 9 or 9.5 worth. I will however recommend watching this anime!
