Synopsis

In 2060, in order to solve various supernatural crises, the World Organization selected elite agents from all over the world to form a crisis bureau. The Dangerous Situation selected the elites of the elite to form an ace squad, named the Phantom. Three years ago, in a task of receiving treasures, due to the gullibility of the captain, Hyway, the Phantom Squad was attacked by the Derek Squad, and almost all of them were killed in action. Hyway himself was planted by Derek and fell into the cliff. However, the target treasure, the Immortal Stone, accidentally entered into Haoyuan's body, bringing him back from the dead, gaining the ability to manipulate time, and possessing super powers such as time static and time reversal. Our protagonist has lived as a fugitive from then on. Haoyuan didn't want to face the past, and chose to remain anonymous, leading a plain life, and guarding Gu Xiaoxi, the sister of his comrade-in-arms. But God’s will, a blue virus appeared in City Y, and the infected person’s skin appeared blue, then spread all over the body little by little, and eventually died. And Gu Xiaoxi was also infected. In order to break the blue virus incident and save Gu Xiaoxi, Hyway returns to the crisis situation. With the sexy and capable secret agent Yu Jie-Xia Rou, the quirky genius Loli-Tong Xiaoxiao, and the second-biggest gangster-Zhan Peng and other weird celebrities make a makeshift to form an alternative phantom team. And our legendary story begins here. (Source: Youku.com, rough translation)

Imbalance. guys are cool, but women really suck. MC is cool. The donghua had made some good effort in the action sequences with the guns usage and physical combat that I really liked. When MC shot his brotherhood teammate that was held hostage at gunpoint, I got Detective Conan Fourteenth Target vibes where I learnt, you shoot the hostage to draw the perp away from the hostage. MC timed the shot and the teammate was able to about face with MC and take them all down before teammate went down as well. MC fights a rage battle that is dealt. Like unfortunately, MC lost all the guys on theteam early on in that first mission. MC had some good leadership and jokes with the team. He left alone after surviving to take care of teammate's sister. She is alright actually, has some real guts. Again the first few episodes were amazing, epic drills and team mission but then afterwards it banked so much to the annoying pink haired woman, literally a petulant child, it dropped the quality. Literally loooooool when the guy who was holding the pink girl hostage gun point to head, FIRED while she was still blabbing cause she was blabbing so much, yeah uh huh shut up. FIRE. but MC superpower soldiered her out. The other love interest woman to stay alive is also just another stupid serious woman. Even if you don't mind them, they being here still drops the quality. My expectation in Season 2 is now that action stay as good, the women stay away, and MC and enemy, he return along with his puppet gun lackey, transform more hardcore. Dues are still owed.

Time Prisoner is about our main character, Huan Yuan who is part of a secretive task force called phantom force that prevents danger coming to humanity. However, during a mission to obtain and extract the immortal treasure Huan Yuan and his squad members are betrayed by another squad that were out to collect the immortal treasure for another party. While losing his team and being on the brink of death, Huan Yuan manages to escape with the immortal treasure and fused with it. Now Huan Yuan is framed by the team that betrayed him because he 'ran' off with the treasure and becomes a wantedperson in the city. Huan Yuan also learns of the powers he gained from fusing with the immortal treasure which has the power to stop time, move heavy objects with ease and many more functions. It also seems like the people who betrayed him are also after him plus begin to spread a virus known as HP that immobilizes humans permanently. How will Huan yuan fare against these odds stacked against him? Story & Character: 5/10 The beginning had a great hook with a secretive operative squad and all the right reasons to enjoy it: Betrayal, MC becomes OP, MC wants to find who betrayed him etc. However, I think the longer I stayed watching the more uninteresting it got - We are introduced to so many good characters but they don't suit the story where MC tries to save the world and there is so much going on in the story that the execution of all of the side-stories feel sloppy. We have the HP virus situation that evolves every episode with more victims and more devious symptoms; We have the corporation out hunting MC because of the immortal treasure, and we have MC trying to maintain an unsustainably active lifestyle with no plan/goal to solve his problems or improve strength - only concerned for how he can join up with his former comrades or his family members. He always gets random power ups when he finds out some of his close family and friends are in trouble which makes no sense and the immortal treasure feels clumsy when it's used by MC. Wished for a more competent story and main character. Art & Sound: 6/10 Rendering 3D CGI is not an easy feat especially with high fidelity polygons but come on, the scenes have maximum 5 people in them. It confuses me that in city scenes you'd expect crowds or busy streets, in this series the streets feel more secluded and low detailed especially the extras that run or walk in the background. The sound is pretty decent not too deep in quality. Enjoyment & Overall: 5/10 This series feels like a rip off of so many donghua/anime that it is sad that the beginning was so interesting. So many plot holes and poorly planned logic make this series a hit or miss in my opinion. If you don't enjoy the first 2 episodes I'd suggest skipping this series because the first few episodes are the better plot points in the series.
