The Fool

As a fan of the Lord of the Mysteries novels, I am very satisfied with this donghua adaptation. One of the most exciting things is that we can finally see the visualization of the world and characters that have only been imagined through novel texts or several manhua chapters. The animation presented is quite solid, the mysterious atmosphere and distinctive steampunk elements are brought to life well. Although there are some parts that are shortened, the storyline still feels strong and in accordance with the original source. The background music also supports the dark and enigmatic nuances of Klein Moretti's world. Overall, this donghua was able to meet my expectations as a long-time reader-even exceeding expectations in several aspects. I hope that the quality will be maintained in the future and the story can continue to develop well.

For the people who calling this as ANIME. This is not Anime. Anime are generally those animated content which is produced only on Japan.

This is Donghua, and this is produced in China.

Review -

The premiere episode of "Lord of the Mysteries", THE FOOL , is an absolute triumph.

The animation is breathtakingly beautiful and seamless, setting a high standard for the series. As someone who has read the Lord of the Mysteries novel (only few chapters), I found the pacing quite fast, but it still captures the essence of the story effectively.

The atmosphere and art style are captivating, creating a serene yet immersive experience that's hard to resist. The ending song is so compelling that skipping it feels impossible.

The meeting between Justice, The Hanged Man, and The Fool is brilliantly written and executed, delivering a standout moment that hooks you instantly.

Overall, this is easily one of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen, blending stunning visuals, a gripping story, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

The anime starts with klein and he is clueless of how he got transmigrated.

I'm not a novel text but have read TBATE ans i have heard many things about the LOTM but I can now say that yes it will be the anime of the year.

Usually interdimensional politics with awesome characters with awesome powers it will be fun to watch.

With some masala of horror 😅 i have heard that it has an awesome power scaling even far better than shonen anime.

As Klein, he navigates this dangerous world, unraveling mysteries, engaging with both orthodox and unorthodox Churches, and slowly accumulating power to eventually find a way back home. The novel is renowned for its intricate world-building, detailed power system, complex characters, and the pervasive sense of cosmic horror and conspiracy that underlies the narrative. Themes of humanity, sacrifice, and the struggle against corruption are central to Klein's journey as he ascends through the Beyonder sequences, forming the enigmatic "Tarot Club" along the way.

As someone who knows NOTHING about the novel or the story, the first episode was a bit rushed and complicated. More and more technical terms came along faster and faster, and I couldn't follow it all. So if a novel fan wants to explain the basics to me, they can add me on DC: tapuliam. I found it hard to follow the whole thing, which is a shame, because it looks really cool, and I can imagine the novel being just as good with all the depth, world-building, economic system, etc. Nevertheless, the animation and vibe were stunning. The episode felt really cinematic, and I'll definitely keep watching.

The audio visual experience of this donghua was purely cinematic and the story itself along with the world looked very intriguing and not your typical isekai! Yes the first two episodes seemed a bit fast paced and little overwhelming for first time viewers given lots of info dump and concepts...but I think it was necessary to grab the attention of the viewers quickly. After all it's a mystery novel so it's expected that we won't understand everything right off the bat. They will slowly unravel the mysteries and the pace will also slow down from 4th ep onwards, don't worry things will only get better guys, just hang on! A 10/10 from me for the animation and soundtrack itself along with the mysterious world!
