Beautiful chinese anime adaptation
This was unexpected in a good sense.
Production is very good. The drawings and the chinese characters during both the opening and the closing themes are especially outstanding (and the songs as well). The chibi sections are great. Music is atmospheric. Drawings and animations are ok.
The only caveat for me is the storyline. The often present irony and the action-adventure side of the anime help digest a plot where traditional chinese beliefs and legends, taoist ethics and escathology, war-heroes demigods reincarnated and male-male affection get mixed up. Quite original but - for me - also hard to feel really passionate about.
But give it a try! Hopefully the production will come up next with a story more appealing to my "adult western taste".
