.. I'm guessing this donghua flew over people's heads?? How is this below a 7, when other 3D garbage are rated so high. It should be reversed, the scores.
The setting is jianghu in one of its most classic forms. Not Jin Yong, not modern day pretty boy jianghu bs. Classic jianghu setting
means: salt shortages, corrupt officials, floods, starving locals. This reference probably flew over people's heads.
Jianghu: Law and order does not exist in this world, that means people make the law. The jungle. The 'hood'.
The theme and code of jianghu, probably also flying over people's heads, is that in a lawless world, society operates through: bonds, loyalty admist an environment of disloyalties, everybody following their own morals, the concept that larger morals move larger movement of people,…

Zhen Dao Ge explores the Chinese idiom "When you seek revenge dig two graves". H
He Fangzhi, the son of a government official tries to seek revenge for the massacre of his entire family 13 years ago. His journey begins at his former servant's bar in the Gobi desert where he kills everyone involved.
Story: 6/10
The story has a lot of promise, it sets the story by showing glimpse of He Fangzhi's past and memories from his past instead of dishing it out in the beginning. We see the beginning of his journey at the bar in the Gobi desert. The story is fairly interesting but the fight scenes are a bit boring because He Fangzhi struggles for 5min and then at the end of the fight he kills his enemies and moves on to the next.
Art & Sound: 7/10
The art style and animation during fights is very…

Zhen Dao Ge ( Song of Broadsword) set in medieval china is a martial arts donghua about revenge.
It follows the main character travelling from one place to another to find the main reason why his family was murdered.
This is similar to a fighting game with some cutscenes to fill up the story but the main part of this is the fights which include various weapons.
It has a very smooth animation while fighting but in other scenes, it lacks in some aspects.
Fights- 8.5
Animation- 7 This is a good one and will rate 7.5 but it is not an 8
I am looking forward to the 2nd season atleast for the fighting scenes.

I accidentally found this gem donghua and binged it in one sitting. The style of animation is 2.5D (3D cel shaded). The art style take some getting used to due to the coarse drawing style, but if you've seen the likes of The Kingdom S1, Kengan Asura and can adapt to it, you should give this a try. The action scene in this show blew me away.
The story and plot is 'seemingly' simple and straightforward, every episode the MC fights through each opponent as he trace to the mastermind for his final revenge. At the beginning of each episode is a little bit of the past reveal.
The soundtrack, bgm, OP and ED are all very well done and matches the 'Jianghu' theme well.
The reason I call this a gem is because the action is one of the best I've seen in donghua (and anime) in this decade. If you en…
