Heaven Official's Blessing Special

HOB/TGCF was great, but this special is even better!! It was very enjoyable and so much fun to watch. Tha story was amazing, it really highlights the romance between -you know who- and Xie Lian. There is no backpeddling, no making them brothers, no hostility. This is unlike other shows from China which can be censored to high heaven. None of that happens, they just...flirt. They don't kiss or makeout or have any ecchi but that does not mean they aren't flirting...it truly illustrates the love felt bu the charachters. Now, I will avoid spoilers however the story is amazing! It truly displays everything fanscould want. This is so satisfying it is crazy! The sound is just as good as the original, however the visuals are better! They do not use any of the bad cg used in the show itself, so it looks very good throughout! Finnaly, the charachters are as they are in the show itself. I WILL say the way they display 'that persons' face is gorgeous! the extra details are so fun and watchers can tell the animators took care when showing the side-by sides. I reccomend watching this after seeing TGCF!! 10/10!!

“It’s brave but dumb to have such ambitions when you were young. It’s dumb, but also brave” - Hua Cheng This special episode is a really nice way to wrap up the first series of Tian Guan Ci Fu, focusing more on the relationship between the two main characters and acting as a tie-up for the main plot threads that were started. The more relaxed nature of this episode really highlights the strengths of the series, most notably the animation style and the music which are allowed to shine a little more than in the main episodes. The main issuewith this special is that, due to its focus on concluding what has happened, it can feel a little bit repetitive. However, it doesn’t affect the rest of the episode and it is an understandable necessity. This episode is definitely a great way to wrap up the series and makes me hopeful for the next season.
