Synopsis

Twenty years after the war between immortals and demons, the Three Realms have reached a state of delicate balance. It was at this time that the young man Ye Bugui, who was carrying an important secret, broke free from the protection of the Sword Spirit Island and appeared in front of everyone. His appearance broke the balance and the conspiracy that had lain dormant since the end of the war resurfaced. While trying to protect the world, Ye Bugui is aware of his own destiny. His life journey is full of dangers, with people joining and leaving him along the way. The meaning behind his name, "Bu Gui" - "no return", may just be his fate.

Meteor Magic Sword is a wuxia style donghua set in an Ancient Chinese era following Ye Bugui, a cultivator of Sword Spirit Island left to integrate onto the country to wander. He meets up with his female fellow disciple and they go on adventures with other disciples and people they meet along the way. The journey is riddled with conflict as Ye Bugui has a powerful spirit/blood which sends demons and martial cultivators his way. While exploring, Ye Bugui also befriends demons as he hears of their past and backgrounds, some even joining his travelling party.

Story & Character: 2/10
Meteor Magic Sword is a chinese ... CGI donghua that, from the synposis appears interesting and different from other cultivation wuxia stories. This series tries to implement light hearted comedy, suspenseful emotion-evoking drama, fluid and powerful fighting scenes and a diverse character party all in the span of a 7 hour first season. The show is so hard to follow because the comedy is just Ye Bugui being abused or doing something dumb and hurting himself, the suspense is literally that Ye Bugui's party chases after a mysterious hypnotic witch while also finding themselves in dangerous life or death situations inevitably being saved by plot armor and also running away from enemies that covet Ye Bugui's blood/body for his ancestral powers. All of this is happening while the characters make small talk every 5 seconds to fill the episodes which is just terrible structure for an anime. It doesn't help either that Ye Bugui's personality is the type to think out loud while in the middle of a fight or an important situation - his dialogue drags out any situation he's in making it such a terrible viewing experience.

Art & Sound: 4/10
The series has subpar art and animation to be released in 2021; In almost all episodes involving an inn/foodstall/shop the same exact owner is running it - I understand that this may be part of the novel which I haven't seen or a budget issue but it's just bad asset management.

This series uses some suspenseful rock music as the backing track for fights against demons which is surprising since for the era and theme, you'd usually use some music that suits the time period and trend of music geographically but I guess if the series has terrible story and characters there's no exception to music choice.

Enjoyment & Overall: 1/10 & 2/10
I visited this anime with an open mind but as soon as I noticed the main character being useless and his objective not being clear within the first 2 hours of the show I knew I wasn't going to enjoy this. No progress toward the narrative was made in 60 episodes and it's probably because the studio followed the novel line for line and adapted every single detail into animation. This is a lazy way to adapt as it adds some details that could be removed to save time, plot consistency and budget but I guess it's not valued since it was blatantly copied.
