Anime 41094 Xian Wang De Richang Shenghuo Reviews Filter Check 3

China is putting out more and more anime and i have to say that there are good ones like King's Avatar, Antidote, The Grandmaster, Spiritpact etc. But this anime was just really plain. No real story, terrible writing AND so many plot holes ???
I feel like they tried to make every character have some sort of character growth, but in the end they didn't address any internal problems everyone had, except for the main character.
And also why does this have the tag of "slice of life" that makes no sense.
Something that also bothers me is that this anime had 15 episodes and half ... of them where just fillers to make "memories" for characters so they could somehow make an emotional ending. terrible ending by the way.

Anyways, the characters are still cute and the concept of buddhism/spirit/magic/underworld is cool too.

This isn't even the real 'the daily life of the immortal king'. What can i say? When you want to make 'Justice League' out of 'Courage the Cowardly dog' then you will get abomination like this. Dude i read the novel and it was nothing like this. Yes, you don't need to follow the original but you still can't change your root completely and this was just that.

Let's list the cons

*There is no romance in the novel, or should i say not so early. Even if there is romance, it will be brushed away in a comedic undertone. That's how it should be. Man, ... do they even know what slice of life means? They made 'star wars' in 'simpson'.

* The original Wang Ling cares only about keeping his powers check and his noddles. And the story revolves how the adversary keeps poking mc, only to get squashed and that results in more pain in the neck for mc, all in a comedic undertone. And they made this 'romeo and juliet' somehow.

*This story somewhat follows upto the six assassins part after that all made up. Even those parts are poorly done. They rushed through the main punchlines like the frog summon or frog test, the novel was hilarious there. Also the limited sword part, they changed the original to mama Wang buying a cheap one. The real one was way more funny, go check no spoilers.

* Character? Like i said, Wang ling only likes his noddles and he doesn't care about nakama bullshit. And they made this shounen which is a disgrace. Lotus sun or the heroine is kind in rivalry with mc, but they made her a direct romance target from the start.

*Lot more can be said about how they changed the theme altogether. Even if i ignore the novel, the work is not done well that much either. For example, what is 59 or 60 high school? How this happened? Assuming that's the plot, and 59 and 60 being rivals how did 59 get 60's data instantly as if they are the main organization overseeing the data. And what about sword spirit? Why did they introduce it when they weren't used that much at all. Only the class president's were used. I can nitpick more but that's the gist without mention the novel.

Art is good like all Chinese animations. They had budget unlike most poor cheap ass Japanese productions. But the industry is shallow because of their inexperience and greed. Do you think people will jump into an unknown anime if they didn't hear about the novel first? Most of us wanted to experience the adaption of novel and I'm pretty disappointed

Just read the novel and one downvote for this

It looks mediocre to me. i thought this one gonna be better than mob 100 or something like this category but it doesnt. character feel mediocre. powerfull trying to be weak combining with weak story, weak enemies and silence unemotional attitude till 12 episode.

They didnt explain detail each of the character, yeah they are trying to explain their spiritual power but.. it seems crowded.

Yes you had spiritual power, you had spiritual pet ,and yet you need spiritual sword ? what is this harry potter ?. the action in this anime looks good but sometime looks meh. character when doin expression/dub seems not sync ... enough with the animation.

the only anime that i like chinese. Quan Zhi Gao Shou.

If you've ever read any of my anime reviews, you'll know how they usually go. But this one is gonna be slightly different. Kinda because of how bad it was, and kinda because I am lazy.

The main problem with this anime lies in the animation, the plot devices, and the characters. Which is basically the whole anime. If you don't know the gist of this anime, its basically the OP MC genre. And I've watched hella OP MC anime. I enjoy OP MC anime. But this particular anime really just doesn't offer anything story wise. So lets go through that.

1. Plot devices- The ... main plot device, and one that I hate after watching this, is the MC's forgetting art which basically forces the people around him to completely forget that he is extremely OP. However, while this provides some logical backing to the other characters not seeing how OP he is, it really is infuriating that the MC has to do this, essentially making every plot movement redundant and as if it never happened. Without any movement, the story doesn't go anywhere and you get an extremely boring story. Even in other generic OP MC anime there's some form of plot advancement, usually centered around the OP MC slowly being recognized as overpowered. However, with this forgetting art plot device, there is none of that in this particular anime. Which for me constitutes a huge problem in how the story is allowed to flow: its basically not.

2. Characters: The characters themselves are also relatively bland, and the MC himself is a prime example of this. The fact that he has to keep his powers sealed (despite them leaking out) makes for a very poor character as there is again, no movement with his character. The supporting cast is entirely static, or makes little progress in terms of character. The MC himself is also poorly done, a completely nihilistic and unlikeable MC.

3. Art: although the art is relatively good, the colors sound (albeit slightly bland), the animation and action scenes are sparse and poorly done. One thing with OP MC anime is that they do get carried by the animation and really good fight scenes because OP MC anime already have pretty basic storylines, thus they have to appeal to the audience in different ways. And of course, one of the things people like to see with these types of anime is how the MC is going to smack down his opponents. However, there is almost none of that in this story, which leaves the audience feeling empty without it and makes the story visually boring.

Other notes:
- The music is good, nothing to write home about though.
- The world-building is pretty good though, the city and the back story is good.
- the fourth wall breaking humor, although slightly overdone, is not too bad and is relatively good taste.
- This anime is done completely in Chinese, and as someone who speaks Chinese, this didn't bother me in the slightest. However, worth noting if you're expecting JP language.
- This was so unenjoyable in fact, that i watched this in 1.5x for about 10 episodes. unfortunate for someone who really does enjoy the OP MC genre.

OVERALL: 4
Grading this, it would be 2 for world building +1 for art and + 1 for comedy for a total score of 4.

I would avoid this anime, or at the very least be very apprehensive about trying it. It does hook you in well, but after the 2nd episode it does nosedive in quality and enjoyment.

I refuse to believe the people giving this good ratings are real, they have to be bots. I genuinely don't see how anyone could give this above a 4 and that is insanely generous. This show is literally just a way, way worse version of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, which is already bad. This dude literally just does the most op stuff imaginable, with garbage music playing and incredibly shoddy animation, and everyone around him just acts like their blind and ignores it??? It really makes no sense, the show has no merits. Even if you try and watch this show while skipping ... through until the fight scenes its bad. He's also got this girl whos obsessed with him for no reason besides wish fufillment... don't even get me started this show doesn't deserve a comprehensive breakdown. Even as a trash show you watch to kill time, I would not recommend it.

To begin with, I rarely write reviews but i write it honestly. And now I will say that this is my first Chinese work in the form of an anime and I will say that I was disappointed in this anime.
Firstly. Everything is very superficially told. Not properly revealed the main character, how did he become like this, how did he develop his strength? It's the same with the rest of the characters. Their story is told only by small ones and for the stretching of the series, otherwise I do not see.
Now about the universe. It's a shame. The whole plot takes place in ... only 1 country, I would even say 2 or 3 cities, and these same cities are limited to only one school and a house.
I could not enjoy this piece, because after 3 episodes I started to skip empty scenes. And yes plot holes. There are many of them and with each episode they are filled even more.
Anime for 1 time and then if you like everyday life with a little of humor. And I put a solid 4 points. (At least there will be 1 anime that will deserve 10 points or even 9?... Hmm.) From me everything.

The most Re****ed anime of the all time. F****ng waste of time. If you wan’t to get frustrated every episode of what u are watching the please be my guest and watch this shitty show. Otherwise stay away. MC is just plain stupid.🤮


Story:
The start is a bit interesting but starts to show the author's lack of any sort of talent when it comes to story telling around mid episode. Every story wants you to question what the f is going on in the storyline. The MC's power are only convenient when it wants to and most of the time wants you to question how ... this garbage was even animated.

Animation:
The only good thing working for this anime is the animation. The animators did a really good job for this poor excuse of a story.

I have watched almost all of the anime ever released and this is the first time I have despised anything related to anime or manga. This anime made create this account just so I can post this review so people can stay away from this garbage.

Don't get me wrong, I seriously tried to like this anime. I wanted to enjoy it. But, I couldn't. Watching this anime made me feel pain and confusion all together.

The first couple episodes were honestly not bad. It wasn't until they decided to try and make a plot. The plot of this show made no sense at all. I was trying to follow along but it felt like stuff was just happening to happen. Once I got to episode 8 I was near tempted to drop the show in its entirety.

Not only did the plot make no sense, but the subtitles were also very ... off. For someone who doesn't speak the language, subtitles are the only thing I have for the show. And the fansubtitles were TERRIBLE. There were times they would say stuff and I had to try to understand how it correlates to the plot. But it never worked. Sometimes I would just watch the animation instead of reading the subs because they never were useful.

I honestly couldn't tell if the subtitles of the show made it bad or if the attempted plot in general made it bad. I would have preferred if they just did random stuff each episode instead of a garbage story. For being considered an "18 minute show" boy did those episodes drag with pointless scenes. Every episode felt near 45 minutes, when I would see if I was near the end of the episode it always disappointed me to see I was only like 6 minutes in.

In the end, Xian Wang de Richang Shenghuo did actually make me laugh a couple times and had a pretty good opening. But, I can 100% say that it was not worth the watch. The fact that it also was 15 episodes instead of 12 makes me sad. The story of the show completely ruined it along with the dreadful subs. I wish I could take back my time to have completed a different show.

1. Plot 0/10
I don't see any development in this story, so I would have to give it a 0. The entire story revolves around the MC with zero personality. He just wants peace and strives for nothing. He has no goals/motivations/purpose. Any development that happens... gets reverted back. So much for development. Maybe there is development after 9 episodes, but I got more disappointed and upset after every episode.

2. Characters: 2/10
The main female protagonist pisses me off. She falls in love with him because of a simple magic dispersing spell that left her breathless. ... I understand this is bias on my part because I try hard to get a girlfriend, yet this MC does basically nothing and has this beautiful female lead drooling over him. The teachers piss me off the most. In episode 9, they have the most retarded role.... they do nothing against the out of control villain. They just stand there and watch? In the last two episodes, they were hyped up as this strong powerful and righteous teacher....

3. Art: 7/10
The art is good

4. Sound: 0/10. Although most of the sound is okay, some of it is unforgivable. For example, when they cast magic and thunder or fire strikes, I expect an exciting sound. Instead, I hear what sounds like a toy going off. I could have done better if they allowed me to edit the sound effects and I am a complete novice editor.

Overall: 2/10. I would have rated this show a 5/10, but there were too many things that were unforgivable.

First things first, this show "had" potential. I didn't read the manga/light novel of these so I cannot compare, though the first few episodes looked promising. It gave me some "Misfit of Demon King Academy" vibe, but failed terribly in execution.

We have Wang Ling, The generic overpowered MC. I was looking forward to seeing his powers, but all he does is hold back, Literally. it's not uncommon for overpowered characters to hold back to show how powerful they are, but this one is so over the top to the point of annoying and ridiculous. Oh wait, I forgot this was a slice-of-life anime, silly me. ... Kinda pointless tho, there's no challenge, he can literally fight anyone but he won't. Why? because the plot said that the world will end if he breaks the seal on his powers lmao.

It doesn't introduce anything new, it's like whoever created this shit took parts from big franchises and mashed it all together. Heck even Arifureta is better than this

Animation: 6/10 Kinda mediocre, but still better than Studio Deen's seven deadly sins.
Music: 5/10
Characters: 4/10
Enjoyment: 4/10

If you're bored and don't have anything else to watch at the moment, I guess you can give this a try. But if you finished hundreds of anime like me and you're looking for something new and worthwhile, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIT. Trust me

I would recommend watching this show if you like Konosuba. Just be prepared for the horrendous fan subs.

I stumbled upon this show as an instragram video of all things. It was some small scene from the show that just seemed cool, so I threw it on my ptw. Turns out my internet was being funky and it ended up on watching instead. I thought "whatever I'll watch it," and I am glad I did.

This show is a unique mix of action & comedy that can only be compared to konosuba. The humor in this show is more subtle, and you have to know a ... little about China and Chinese proverbs to catch most of it, but it is there and it is good.
The story and characters could use some fleshing out, but take it as the satirical action comedy it is and you can overlook where it is lacking.
The action is pretty good (especially towards the end when there is less satire involved).
The art and animation is solid.
Quality-wise the voice acting is good (I say this this way because I do not like Chinese voice actors as much as Japanese ones).
The OP and ED do not fit the show, but overall the music is the right beat at the right time.

It is a shame that this show is fan subbed and does not have quality subs yet because that is the killer for this show. I think this show would be a solid 6 or 7 if not for the absolutely trash fan subs. Maybe one day we can get some licensed subs and I can come back and give the show the rating it deserves.

I don't know if I'm completely missing something or if I'm just ignorant but the characters all sound like they're speaking the exact same tone almost all the time. It's super quiet and I get why the main character is monotone cuz he's like bored of being to power like in One Punch Man but the rest of the characters I feel like don't sound too different from their normal sounding voice. It's like their voices have barely to no emotion. Idk, maybe I'm just dumb but I found this extremely boring and the plot wasn't any better. I watched at first because of a ... little preview on Youtube about the entrance exam thing with the power scale thing but that was the only cool thing that has happened so far and I really can't get past the VA's seemingly monotone expressions. I might just be stupid but hopefully this isn't a bad first impression of Chinese anime since this is my first.

Think of a children's anime that references other games and anime, this is the only cool part for me!
The anime is about a mega powerful character, who doesn't want to draw attention, the main character is the one who talks the least, not even a secondary character talks as little as this one!
The secondary characters besides not enchanting, they don't add anything!
I watched 10 episodes waiting for the anime to evolve, I expected something to impress me, but nothing happened.
If you're around 12, I think you'll like it. I found him very childish.
If you're looking for an anime with engaging stories, don't watch this one, ... each episode of this anime seems to have about 40 minutes of how boring it is!

Apart from being a total rip off from another show, including the main girl trying to get MC to love her, this isn't even funny. It takes itself too seriously to be considered a gag opera, like Saiki.

Plot: 0
Nothing is explained. Events just happens and that's it. Seems like the author makes up stuff on the spot, and forgets in the next episode. MC can literally create another universe making up its entire story but can't revive a girl because.. hear this.. she was killed too violently (sword), when you make up shit on the go, this happens.

Character: 0

Author has never had human interaction. ... More forced than normal anime which is already streched.

Don't get me wrong the story is pretty good and enjoyable but as an adaptation, it just lacks what you call it: Refinement. It's like a newbie trying to make a 5-star dish and does what's written in the book I mean he tried his best but still can't compete with an actual 5-star chef...

There are many scenes in this anime that could be done better, like character introduction and comedy scenes, which look like made by hastily.

Characters are straight-up, not interesting It desperately tries to be like SAIKI K but fails as its characters are extremely boring and unenjoyable.

Again I am not complaining ... to the studio as many people working on it are still new to the work of animation unlike Japan.

Am speechless. Actually speechless and I have to talk. This thing here is a blatant advertising for CCP and China in general. From on the nose ideal behavior of people with power and family values to credit rating and being hard working even though you have all the advantages world can offer.

It's painful. Simply painful to keep watching. It's predictable to a point where I can guess how things end from first 10 minutes of every episode. Of course our OP guy is going to lay low and make friends without anyone knowing his power. Of course he's a good guy even though he doesn't ... have to. Of course he beats everyone without shedding blood. Of course he uses his power responsibly. Of course hottest girl is after him. Of course he doesn't want to date hottest girl but dedicate himself to studying even though he's a god incarnate and already knows everything. Of course he has a pinky-promise with hot girl even though he erased her and others' memory million times before. Of course hot girl doesn't do shit when confronted by people with guns but she was saving MC in first episode from bullies.

It's shit, just blatant plain old shit. Nothing makes sense, everything is predictable and two dimensional. Plot convenience is everywhere and ruins everything, except for voice acting. Dear lord voice acting is atrocious. That's the only reason why it can't be ruined, because you can not kill that which has no life. It's at asking random dude on the street to scream like Tarzan level of bad. I kid you not you haven't heard screams this bad ever.

Just run away and thank me you didn't have to suffer through this. How this "show" got 7.33 score is beyond me. This must mean zombie apocalypse happened and there are no entities with functioning brains left who watched this anime and gave it higher than 3.

An uninteresting, yet also actively frustrating viewing experience that steals everything it can from Saiki K and everything else from Naruto and DBZ. A tiny minority of its characters occasionally manage to be likeable and some of the action in the last few episodes managed to invest me enough to make me wonder at least a little how it was going to play out; that's all of the nice things I have to say about this unoriginal, lazy, hackish mess.

In short, there were a couple moments that were enjoyable, but if I wanted to watch something painfully mediocre, I'd find something better than this.

Daily life of an Immortal king is clearly a webnovel that took inspiration from works like Saiki K. When I read the novel myself, it was clear that there were a lot of parallels from Saiki K.
What makes something like Daily life of an Immortal King and Saiki K good? In my opinion, it's the fact that there's a lot of focus on the MC that's OP, monologuing all the events, and the contrasting reactions from his classmates and peers. The unexpected dissonance of perspective between the main character's point of view and everyone else's point of view makes for a pretty hilarious comedy.
I do ... admit that I think Daily life of an Immortal king was a few pegs down compared to Saiki K, but that doesn't really mean I hated it. It was watered down, but I still read it.
When this anime came out, I definitely made a mental note to check it out. But, what a surprise, the adaptation of the work didn't meet my expectations. What's missing. The animation was pretty mediocre, CGI was liberally used, and a lot of still backgrounds and scenes were repetitively used as well. While there seemed to be combat, it tried to abstract away any sort of need to use any sort of actual fighting schemes, to keep costs low.
I don't particularly think this was the main problem, though. The problem was absolutely the monologue. How many times did you get to see what the main character was thinking. ZERO. ZERO!!!! What the hell is the point of this adaptation of the star of the comedy: the monologue disappears? By creating a show without omniscient perspective, the comedy doesn't exist. More than half the gag setups are through the monologue of the MC. I just...what? I really don't care if there are certain things that changed, and trust me, the show did not follow the novel closely at all, but whatever. But the core component needs to stay the same.
For all of you wondering why the original was good: it was the monologuing. Without it, it's just a poorly crafted cultivation slice of life with an OP MC! And that is exactly what this anime is. It's as if it's a different work or something
Remember what I said about this show being similar to Saiki K? Well, try to imagine Saiki K without Saiki's monologuing. That is basically this show.

from start to finish this anime felt kind of incomplete. the characters had zero to no quirks and i personally didn’t feel emotionally attached to any of them. the main character is also just a rip off of saiki-k but minus any intelligence and wit.
after 6 episodes i was considering dropping it but i felt as if it would be a waste of time especially as it totals up to only 15 episodes. i really regret watching til the very end; the story didn’t progress at all and felt like a flop.

the main problem for me lies within each character. if the creators took ... more time to flesh each one out i would like to hope it would be been better.

would not recommend if you enjoy emotionally investing animes.

They had an entire book to just turn into an anime and they decided to butcher it — chopping its arms and legs off and reconfiguring it into an abomination of nature that would shame the original author's eight thousand ancestors.

First and foremost and importantly of all: They removed the beloved dominatrix parrot.

They removed the self-depreciative humor.

They removed the adult jokes.

The woman everyone was in love with was originally a overweight foody but is not a typical anime girl.

There was absolutely no need to make this an action anime when they already exist. Do the creators even know the basics ... of creating any type of entertaining media? Find a niche and dig a groove. Not try and be five different things at once. All you end up with is, is another generic anime. Who green lights this garbage? Do some disconnected exectivie sitting on their toilets think everything needs action to keep viewers invested? Touch grass and let sakura petals scratch your eyeballs.
