    Suggestions needed

    I like to watch cultivation donghua (2d or 3d doesnt matter). I have enjoyed:

    BTTH (just completed the aired episodes, unfortunately the story isn't even halfway)

    The daily life of the immortal king

    100k years of Qi refining (got bored around ep180 - more of the same and hate the short episodes)

    Renegade Immortal

    Heaven's shadow (promising, but will continue when there are more episodes)

    +++

    Devil's law - dropped because of stupid MC and characters

    Perfect world - didnt like it and stopped at the first episodes.

    Going to start Soul Land soon. Considering the Great Ruler and Martial universe because they are set in the same world as BTTH and the worldbuilding is great.

    What I like: op MC (the sooner he gets strong the better), long story, good worldbuilding, high fantasy (i.e. strong magic), possibly completed or near completion, at least 50 episodes 15min+ long, GOOD eng subtitles.

    REMINDER: English dub of A Mortal's Journey - First 3 Episodes now live and it's EXCELLENT

    Just wanted to remind everyone the first three episodes of A Mortal's Journey English dub are live. And it is NOT doing well on YouTube.

    Under 1,000 views for the first episode, and only 156 views for Ep 2, and and 155 views for Ep 3.

    Please watch it if you have any remote interest (the English dub cast is excellent, btw).

    I kind of feel sorry for them too -- it's on a channel that is new, so not many subs, and they just posted on their X account that they're doing all kinds of giveaways when it hits 100,000 views. The way it's going that will be in 2050.

    What are considered the best 3D shows to watch?

    Getting into donghua's last year or so and have found a few donghua to watch and only really stuck with them.

    Started with:

    Throne of Seal

    Swallowed Star

    BTTH

    and recently Sword of Coming

    Dabbled a little into Soul land (still trying to get through it, but its been slow) Perfect world (confusing beginning and awful translations makes it hard to watch)

    What other 3D donghua am I missing that are considered the best? Although I really enjoy high quality action and animation, it really helps if the story is cohesive and enjoyable and the translations aren't absolulte garbage. I've had to join several discords just to find decent translations for any of the ones i'm currently watching

    Things I have in my list to watch: Renegade Immortal

    Jade Dynasty

    Soul land 2 (when I finish SL1)

    RMJI

    I'll let you live if you don't do it again!

    Ok, seriously, every single time! MC let's them go and they just come back with friends to get vengeance, usually killing more innocent people along the way. So far there is only one show that I've seen where the MC just kills everyone the first chance and I won't drop a spoiler, but every other show they just give the jerks freedom to kill more people. Sigh.

    Looking for a Xianxia Donghua

    Hi everyone,

    I bumped into a xianxia donghua on Youtube the other day and I thought I would like to watch it. I only watched one scene, but the scene caught my attention.

    The characters appeared to be the weak MC and his weak friend in a forest or clearing. The MC and his friend are being beat up or teased by some other characters. The two characters get saved by a female and the MC and his friend join her sect.

    The part that caught my attention was that the clothes of the MC and his friend changed colours to suit the new sect.

    Does anyone know what the xianxia donghua is?

    Thankyou,

    Juedai Shuang Jiao: Tian Wai You Tian - new addition to the Legendary Twins franchise

    For the fans of the Legendary Twins there's a prequel movie length ONA I don't see many people comment on.

    It's about the "evil" twin and the clan of monsters he belongs to. Nothing outstanding, but quite pleasant adventure with some spectacular fights. I hand fun.

    There's a teaser scene after the end credits which promises some sort of continuation and I hope it would be in the second season of the main show (if we actually get one).

    Here's the AniList entry since MAL doesn't have one yet - https://anilist.co/anime/153471/Juedai-Shuang-Jiao-Tian-Wai-You-Tian

    Do other people here have watched it? Would you care sharing your impressions?

    What level was Yao Chen?

    Hey, BTTH fans! I’ve been re-watching and have some questions about Yao Chen’s strength at the time of his death.

    A lot of posts say he was peak Dou Zun before he died, but during the fight where Han Feng betrayed him, Gu, who was only a 3/4-star Dou Zun at the time, seemed to hold his own against him.

    Isn’t the power difference between stars at the Dou Zun level supposed to be massive? If Yao Chen was at peak Dou Zun, wouldn’t Gu have been completely outmatched?

    Was Yao Chen maybe weakened, holding back, or are there other factors I’m missing here?

    Would love to hear your thoughts or if I’ve misunderstood how the power scaling works in the story since I only watch on YouTube and read Reddit posts 🙃

    Series Recommendations

    My only exposure to donghua so far has been MoDaoZuShi and Renegade Immortal.

    I usually don't watch series with animation style like Renegade Immortal but I've been widely impressed after watching it. Is there any series similar to it in terms of high-quality animation style and decent storyline? (the aesthetics is a priority cause the only reason why I even started watching Renegade Immortal is cause the MC looked good).

    Is "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" meant to be confusing?

    I started because of all the good reception but I understand absolutely nothing. The show starts off with someone going to a "sect" to feed his family, getting randomly assaulted on the way, failing some test and then there's a four year training timeskip? There was no character development or exposition I feel like, and terms like "base", "qi", and random technique names were just thrown around. It doesnt help that the subs are pretty subpar -- I skipped ahead to the 100s episodes and all I saw was some really confusing training terms like "closed door middle stage". I feel like I was supposed to have prior knowledge about what all this means before starting but have no idea how to get it -- I've been considering watching 'soul land' and 'shrouding the heavens' but i really dont know if they're worth my time if they have similar issues. Could someone reconcile this with the popular opinion of the show?

    Well I find Donghua very entertaining but there very short videos and they seem to be interesting after upgrading there powers and they talk more than actually giving any action and might as well throw in a parties in between there talks lol.

    Dadao Chaotain - One Way or Another Episode 10

    https://preview.redd.it/7oigvpzlp64e1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=601e52aad2d65265355ffbbaae91e0113f07043f

    In Episode 10 We seem to see a mental debate our MC "Jing Jui" is having with "Yin San". Their Ideas are on two completely different opposite parts of a spectrum. They are debating "hot pot" but its clear here that Hot Pot is an allegory for something. Immortality? The Sword? Who knows. And the build up and mystery behind the identity and goals of Jing Jui is starting to kill me.

    Jing Jui burns the body of Yin san to end the investigation into who he is/was. Will we find out soon more about Jing Jui? Is he Jing Yan? The swordmaster who failed to ascend? or perhaps one of his students? And either way, will Yin San play a larger part in the series? or is he truly dead.

    Can't wait for more!

    What's up with the little black dog in "Slay the Gods"

    *** Spoilers??***

    So the MC's brother has that little black dog. And sometime earlier in the season the dog also got the glowing eyes for a split second. I think it was also when the dog looked up at the sky the same time as MC did.

    Nothing much happens until the last episode where all the fighting is happening. In the scene where they do a "Matrix" 360 pause style and they visit all of the people fighting, there is a super short scene of the dog facing a dude with a gun. I was kind of like ??? when I saw that. Then later on, the dog jumps on the aunt's lap and spits out the trigger from the gun.

    So I'm assuming like Tuntun from YuanZun that the black dog just literally ate the dude trying to attack their home. Probably ate the dude whole including the gun. So do we get more of the dog from the story?
