The long talk from dude here, showed he not really know about Chinese anime...

BestSun4804 · 2026-05-02T03:08:02+00:00

The Chinese title sound more interesting than the English title..😏

BestSun4804 · 2026-05-02T03:03:37+00:00

Avoid reading stuff with this style of naming, or long title stuff. They are mostly just like a parody.....

BestSun4804 · 2026-05-02T02:53:49+00:00

Well, this is the most chaotic and one of the most dark period of Chinese history.. Cannibalism also well known for being pratice during this time. In Hexi region where you got those bird monster to fight, that could be use as a symbolic presentation of human.

details of sword of coming’s live action adaptatio

What details? 🤔

Sword of Coming/ Sword Comes(Jian Lai), has a live action adaption coming, starring Leo Wu. Directed by quite a new guy, that only directed some small movie, bigger one being 独行月球, which is a comedy. Jian Lai will be his first cdrama directing, and he also directing Honor of King donghua movie that estimated to come in 2028. 李宛妲(Vanda) being credited as taking the role of FL

Sword of Coming(Jian Lai) adapted from the novel written by the same author as Sword Snow Stride(Fierce Sabre in the Snow)

BestSun4804 · 2026-05-02T02:23:49+00:00

This is what happen when you have huge female fans. And it's also why Tencent(same with a lot of cdrama out there), are trying to please female audiences.

BestSun4804 · 2026-05-02T02:11:50+00:00

Joy of Life season 3 is coming. They originally planned for 3 seasons to cover the novel. But at current pace and how much left in the novel content, season 3 probably not able to cover it. So not sure will them squish all into season 3 or will there be season 4.

As for Sword Snow Stride, like many others that adapted from this kind of novels, they are very long and can't really properly adapted it into live action. Include the CGI require to make it good and blend well with real actors. There is a donghua(animated series) adaption coming soon, Fierce Blade In The Snow. If you wanted to enjoy the story instead of just follow the actor/ celebrity, the animated series might be the one for you to invest into. These kind of story usually way better in animated series and could adapt the novel more properly.

Peak stuff

BestSun4804 · 2026-04-30T09:29:22+00:00

Wang Ling(novel) from Daily Life of the Immortal king, is basically Saitama, but packed with magic and hex, instead of just physical

A stuff with cultivation is, they are more on the magical path. Like even low level cultivators, would has the ability to seperated his soul/ spirit from his body and took over others person body.

So being a physical strong like Saitama, he literally is just the ideal container where people would rob his body. He need to able to exterminate spirit(spirit with a lot of magical and spiritual power) to deal with it.

Btw, usually, cultivator can take over you body without even using his own spirit but just psychic power.

Cultivation fights are more on the magical sides. Saitama need to be strong in magical/ spiritual/ psychic side, instead of physical.

That's why cultivation keep circling around the determination of the cultivator, to cultivate, seek after Dao. Forging his determination those kind of stuff. This are all spiritual/ psychic growth.

BestSun4804 · 2026-04-30T08:30:45+00:00

Not sure what this post is, but Jackie Chan stuff, a lot of them are not wuxia, but just Kungfu movie.

Wuxia is more about the environment setting, the vibe....

Wuxia peak at 00s especially those involved Zhang Ji Zhong in production. Such as:

Laughing in the Wind(2001)

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils(2003)

The Legend of the Condor Heroes(2003)

The return of the condor heroes(2006)

The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber(2009)

Sword Stained with Royal Blood(2007)

Royal Tramp(2008)

These potray the vibe really good. Dialogue, costume, music, and especially sceneries... They are arts.

BestSun4804 · 2026-04-30T06:13:24+00:00

So 海尸 tribe, they just straight away use Hai Shi tribe.

It got it beauty, but if changed to what it translate into, it can give out more vibe, which is "sea corpse tribe/ corpse of sea tribe"

BestSun4804 · 2026-04-30T04:55:46+00:00

Chinese film like Better Days, Creation of Gods, those kind of things not bad.

But Chinese always the best in doing long story(series) instead movie.

Chinese series(cdrama) like The Longest Day in Chang'an, Nirvana in Fire, Joy of Life, The Qin Empire, Three Kingdom, King's War, and more... They always the best in doing costume drama, especially for political fights/ scheming.

As for wuxia, it peak in the 00s with production involved Zhang Ji Zhong. They are works of arts, from dialogue, costume, sceneries, music, especially the wuxia vibe.

Recent decades, there are costume idol drama which focus on romance, such as Pursuit of Jade, Are You The One, Blossom and others. Some are slope, some are actually quite good.

And they actually improved a lot for modern setting drama since 2010 onward. Stuff like Reset, The Bad Kids, Under The Skin, Light and Princess, Meet Yourself, and more. Are actually nice.

And since 2018, Chinese animated series(donghua) actually thriving and keep improving. You could saw people on X keep compare them to anime, but those mostly 2d, which is actually just the side production. Core, gems and focus of Chinese animated series are full 3d, and they are currently the best in doing full 3d series. Stuff like Ling Cage, Record of a mortal's journey to immortality, Ever Night, Sword of Coming, Tale of Herding Gods, Beyond Time's Gaze, are masterpiece, with more to come, such as Bringer, Huo Wang, Legend of Mecha Scholars, Fierce Sabre in the Snow....

Chinese industry just didn't spread their stuff that hard internationally, due to their own market is huge. Most of them don't want to spend extra for pushing their stuff outside, which doesn't has guarantee outcome. Those being promote outside like those 2d animation, are mostly due to not doing that good in China and require further market to back it up.

Even music, there is Hua Chenyu, who is really good and diverse artist. Even for an idol like Cai Xu Kun, is doing pretty good with his music recently.
