Now suffering from severe hemorrhoids and on the brink of natural death, Gu Hai is offered the chance to restore his vitality to the age of 30 and become a divine being. The catch?

Wangu Xian Qiong starts off with a weak storyline and an inconsistent timeline that changes pace dramatically. Instead of beginning at the start of the isekai journe…

I just want to say i have this rule where if i start something, i finish it to the end. And man do i wish i didnt have this rule after i decided to watch this show, and believe me i wanted to break this rule so bad. The only reason i decide to watch this was because of the two people who recommended it in this site. Show had 3 problems for me:
1st problem) English subs were horrible. I dont know if translation groups translated it wrong but it seemed like all the characters were talking in idioms per every sentences. Which just game me a headache trying to understand it.
2nd problem) MC and everyone on his side are sooooooooo weak compared to the villains(biggest problem 4 me). Like villains calling MC and everyone else ants is an understatement. MC is supposed to be like Chinese version…

This show is a bit curious in it's genre composition.
I'd say it's main genre is supposed to be comedy, with all the xianxia dao cultivation mumbo-jumbo.
However in only like, what, episode 4 we start getting mass slaughters, torturing, backstabbing, and generally grisly stuff.
Which is blurred out, by the way, so if you're into this kind of stuff (for whatever reason) then tough luck. If you don't tough luck again, cause even if it's blurred it's pretty apparent that all those people were dismembered/ scorched alive/ etc.
It all doesn't really matter though, because the main strength of this anime are the characters, with MC taking first place, being brilliant and funny, an actually viable chineese rendition of Gintama's MC.
But that falls apart as well in later episodes. MC stops being…

Okay here goes, this show is one of those you watch when you have nothing else to do, or don't have time to binge, or you don't feel like watching something serious. If all that sounds familiar, you've heard of Gintama, the pioneer of this kind of show. This is the chinese version, and I say version not copy, because it has its unique style.
so lets get into the meat of this review:
over-arching plot- pretty good so far (haven't read source material), without heavy emphasis, you know the type skyrim puts on you sometimes.
jokes: what we're all here for, the show is funny, thats all I can say.
characters: I very much like the characters in this show, because they're all unique. they either refine tropes finely, or shatter them completely.
overall enjoyment: i loved it, 9/10. reminded…

This anime is a hidden gem. Funny as hell but action packed as well. It follows the story of Gu Hai and his companions.
Anime is more like China's Gintama version, too many references to other animes which makes it more fun and enjoyable. Overall, good animation and art style, cool and funny dialogs and good character development. You'll enjoy conversation between the trio i.e. Gu Hai, his server Will Smith PoPo (yup thats his name) and Gao Xian Zhi.
There is little bit of romance as well, but that comes at the ending episodes where more of Gu Hai's past is revealed.
The first season ends with a big cliffhanger.
