Wangu Xian Qiong

Okay here goes, this show is one of those you watch when you have nothing else to do, or don't have time to binge, or you don't feel like watching something serious. If all that sounds familiar, you've heard of Gintama, the pioneer of this kind of show. This is the chinese version, and I say version not copy, because it has its unique style. so lets get into the meat of this review: over-arching plot- pretty good so far (haven't read source material), without heavy emphasis, you know the type skyrim puts on you sometimes. jokes: what we're all here for, the show is funny, thatsall I can say. characters: I very much like the characters in this show, because they're all unique. they either refine tropes finely, or shatter them completely. overall enjoyment: i loved it, 9/10. reminded me of hoozuki no reitetsu, it was just fun each episode.

I just want to say i have this rule where if i start something, i finish it to the end. And man do i wish i didnt have this rule after i decided to watch this show, and believe me i wanted to break this rule so bad. The only reason i decide to watch this was because of the two people who recommended it in this site. Show had 3 problems for me: 1st problem) English subs were horrible. I dont know if translation groups translated it wrong but it seemed like all the characters were talking in idioms per every sentences. Which justgame me a headache trying to understand it. 2nd problem) MC and everyone on his side are sooooooooo weak compared to the villains(biggest problem 4 me). Like villains calling MC and everyone else ants is an understatement. MC is supposed to be like Chinese version of Gintama, what a joke. Sure he acts like Gintama but Gintama had the strength to back him up. The MC supposed to be smart and brilliant strategist in the first couple of episodes of season 1 but then as the other review on this site said he just got dumber and dumber throughout the other seasons.(Should have listen to this review) 3rd problem) Everything else. Plot holes everywhere. No explanation whatsoever on a lot of things. This show also had a horrible stereotyping. I created an Account on this website just so i can write a review to warn people not to waste their time on this show. I cant believe this actually had 4 seasons(I watch it all. STUPID RULE!). By the end of season 4 nothing was concluded.(not any arc was finished) In conclusion i would not recommend this show to anyone. Plot was a tangled, unfinished mess. But if u like watching a weak MC who thinks and act like his the greatest thing then go ahead and waste ur time on this show. The only thing this show had redeeming about is was the comedy and parody about other shows was ok. Animation was ok 2.

This series follows Gu Hai, an 80-year-old man who was once the richest person in Ancient China. Fifty years ago, he was transported from the modern world. Now suffering from severe hemorrhoids and on the brink of natural death, Gu Hai is offered the chance to restore his vitality to the age of 30 and become a divine being. The catch? He must assist a deity in resurrecting a person. To do this, Gu Hai is sent into a secret realm that only lower-level divine beings can enter. His task turns into an adventure of camaraderie as he seeks clues to a special treasure thatcan aid in the resurrection. Story & Characters: 4/10 & 6/10 Wangu Xian Qiong starts off with a weak storyline and an inconsistent timeline that changes pace dramatically. Instead of beginning at the start of the isekai journey, it skips the accumulation phase and character establishment typically seen in more developed series. As a result, the story lacks a solid foundation in terms of characters, context, and premise. The series feels more like a parody gag show, as each episode is littered with over-the-top racial or hemorrhoid jokes. Toward the end, the story development and world-building pick up, but by then it's too late to develop a strong connection to the narrative, which is dragged out by an insignificant treasure-hunting arc in the secret realm. Despite the distastefully bland side characters and villains, I personally enjoyed the characters and approach to character development in this series. We start with a main character who becomes young again and loses his stubbornness to explore due to his 'sickness.' Gu Hai becomes an unhinged character who expresses his feelings without consideration for others, making him a convincing and humane character. Characters like Will Smith, Xiao Rou, and General Gao were interesting with diverse backgrounds. Unironically, their characters are the stereotypical 'party' MC forms, yet their development throughout the series was refreshing. The hostile dynamic between Xiao Rou and the gentleman General Gao, contrasted with her friendly dynamic toward the scumbag Gu Hai, was an eye-opening and laughable development. Art & Sound: 5/10 By modern standards, the art and animation are mediocre; however, for the release period, they were passable. The character proportions and animations weren't inconsistent, but since the series lacked much fast-paced action or quirky shot types, it was expected to see some consistency in quality. The environments felt lacking and empty at times, especially in the secret and spiritual realm. The sound design was passable. Nothing stood out as spectacular, but nothing was noticeably poor either. The voice acting was decent, and the same can be said for the sound design and soundtracks. Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10 This series requires a lot of thinking to process the events and character relations, as it sometimes skips important details. For example, Chen Taiji is mentioned once in the beginning and then brought back into the series arbitrarily with no introduction. While it had some funny moments and hidden references, the story lacked depth because it only started getting serious in the final episodes instead of building up organically. It's clear that this series relied on developing the premise and focused on the sequels to do much of the character and story development. Overall, it was a 6/10—above average but nothing outstanding.
