Taigu Xing Shen Jue 1024https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/M/MV5BNzJmNTUwODgtN2JhOC00MjVhLTlkNTAtYWI4ZWZkNWE3NDYzXkEyXkFqcGc.V1.jpg Do you love cultivation Donghua? Do you love minimal story and plot developments compact enough to stuff between 2 slices of bread? Do you love to slurp up short episodes like a Banana Milkshake? Heres your show All I can say that if youre addicted to this stuff this is another joint that you at least wont feel too bad smoking. What about the ethereal reverie of a meaty antagonist with ideals so good you can identify with them? Keep dreaming. This is the jobber staircase but its done in such a way that you wont get offended when theyre beaten. https://i.ibb.co/Y7mqmGq5/Screenshot65.png The Cult Donghua checklist Robust Power System OPMC which defies traditional scaling due to acquiring special thing Family Dilemma Surprisingly Good Fight Choreography The Jealousy Ladder of Enemies Tournament Theocracy Good Pacing Too Fast Intersexual Aunty Affection Pill Paradise Alchemical Academy Herb Heaven You know the drill but it gets to the point so theres barely ever a dull moment. https://i.ibb.co/Swb3VCXq/Screenshot68.png All in all it does the job but + The animation could be better... + Youll have to get used to it definitely not up there with the best of Donghua. + They could have delved deeper into the story.. + Its definitely present but you might need a microscope + They could have ended it on a good note + overall the plot makes a lot of sense and is incredibly compact. + Could use a bit more kick from the soundtrack.... + Generally good sound direction and appropriate atmospheric music. + The Characters... + The interactions are cool and charming but the antagonists are just stepping stones Then I remember I just binged 40 episodes in 2 sessions so maybe thats not so important. Although I cant point to any special moments Episodes 1039 had me outright hooked. Its never turn your brain off it remains thoroughly entertaining in dialogue and conflict. I have to praise how lively every fight looks even when theres a massive power gap everything fights for its life. The monsters feel terrifying enough to excuse the weaker animation. 1024https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/M/MV5BNzcyYTFlMjctMTQyYi00MDZkLWI1NjEtOTZhMzhkMGJiZTc5XkEyXkFqcGc.V1.jpg Dont expect anything new or breathtaking but if you can survive the rocky start its on cruise control till you bump into the deadend finale. It was worth the binge I suppose. 480https://i.ibb.co/mrv2JrJK/SecretsofDivineArtsScoresheet.jpg
