Reincarnation story â Less than 10 min. â Kick ass MC â CGI â I confess, the poster for this anime did not appeal to me. I confess, the lack of information on the page did not encourage me to watch it. I confess, I do not like short anime. I will be honest, go watch Wu Shang Shen Di right now, donât even read the rest of what I have to say. I can promise you my review will not be âenlighteningâ, âanalyticalâ or âsophisticatedâ. I watch anime for enjoyment, not to take it apart and say âcould have been betterâ, âthereâs no character developmentâ, âthe art style was boringâ,ânot enough detail in the artâ, âseen one, seen them allâ. Alas I have strayed⌠If you like Isekai you can like this show, if you donât you can still like it. The first couple of episodes involve alchemy babble, which shows Mu Yunâs knowledge that becomes his strength to gaining power, influence and wealth. It will be boring and confusing, but you donât need to learn or remember what theyâre saying. The gist of it really, is that the era Mu Yun is from had more understanding of the world and the âmodern eraâ is more backwards than advanced. See it as Mu Yunâs display of superiority. The only thing you really need to pay attention to is the break down on levels and rank. Itâs tricky, but it gives you an idea on why some of the things he does might be âimpossibleâ for his level and rank. Mu Yun is like a kid whoâs been bullied to the point of fighting back. He does not tolerate disrespect, his slap-boxes are funny cause he catches people off guard. I like that he is somewhat mature, and sassy. The girls are not tsundere annoying types*. Then again, there are not many girls in this show, thereâs 3 of them so far and none are damsels waiting for OP MC to save them, which I like. Best girl is Qin Meng Yao if for some reason you disagree, go get your head examined. *Your first 3 experiences, tsundereâs are cute, after that theyâre just damned annoying. The CGI isnât really bad, you know like the stiff robot* walking, fighting or moving. Itâs got some flow, wind and stiffness that will catch your eye but not too annoyingly. The Chinese have good looking CGI. Unless youâre nitpicking. I like that background characters are alive and moving outside of interacting with MC, it makes the world feel alive. * Beserk (2016). Iâll be honest, the music and sound effects really donât stand out to me, but, there is 1 track that plays when the MC succeeds (Ha, sounds like a lvl up tune). You first hear it in episode 2 when heâs talking to Mo Wen about refining pills. Hearing it often in the show, it grew on me, but still Iâm not all hyped about it. The fights are okay⌠there is not a lot shown in fights, but itâs a 7 min show with about 5 min really per episode. So donât be too alarmed if some fights feel rushed, short, or completely missing. If heâs beaten them before no need to show him kicking their asses againâŚright? I mean, his bad guys pop up like heâs catching Pokemon, and they show up in 2âs. So he always has a fight or asses to kick. Finally, donât watch the show with expectations, just appreciate it as it is. I wonât lie, itâs not going to stick with you like your favourite anime, youâre probably not even going to remember core characters names. But itâs a good show to watch if youâre tired of regular shows or just looking for something to pass the time. If for some reason youâve gotten this far in my review and you have not watched Wu Shang Shen Di. I donât blame you, but I challenge you to go watch the first 5 episodes (literally worth 1 episode of a regular show). Donât give me the âitâs too shortâ excuse, thereâs always a âkind soulâ who makes a compilation on the tube. Now go.
Story was really nice and smooth through out first season. However after second season it started to get really messy. They use the same rise and fall plot repeatedly and pretty much to be expected. For example when MC failed to defend his hometown he "died" but somehow is still alive and disguised himself and cultivate and later to be re-unit with his family, friends etc. then 50 eps later same plot again. MC "died", disguised himself and then cultivate and later re-unite with his family and friends. He also never really reconnect with his past. As a isekai-reincarnation donghua there should be element ofthe past connecting with present after all it is isekai-reincarnation. literally MC doesn't even try to connect his past even when he met some of his old acquaintance. He just blush it off and pretend to know them somehow without even trying to reveal himself and re-connect with them again. Logic just dont apply here. You have a second chance in life to re-connect with people that you used to know and tell them the truth so they can help you get back your strength. But nope rise and fall plot. Just when he made progress villains attacks, MC "died" disguised himself and repeat. It does not get better either. After 250+ eps of second season the story does not even progress past this rise and fall plot. You know its bad when having to watch all eps from beginning to current newest release of the aired eps and it still doesn't progress.
