The Founder of Diabolism

I didn't know this animation in the first place until someone mentioned in a MV that this animation is so popular. So, I started to watch it.

At first, I must admit that I didn't like it because maybe, the first episode doesn't have the story line. But the more I watch, the more I fell in love with the story. I have already watched all episodes of season 1 a thousand times and still want to watch again and again. Because of the season 1 and 2 is one year apart, so, I started to read the original novel.

For normal condition, I don't read the original novel that much because my Chinese is not that good although I know a little about Chinese language to watch Chinese films. But reading novels, it takes me a long time to finish. I read it anyway.

It's the love story of two homosexuals. So, it kind of made me disgusting at first. No offence. But the more I read the story, the more it makes me to love the story. It gets interesting and interesting. By the way, I also listen radio drama version too because I totally love the story.

Back to the animation, the animation is basically good. But I wish they could do 3D animation, it'd be better.

All in all, everything is great. If I could recommend animation to watch, I'd definitely recommend this one. It's totally worth spending time. As for me, I'll be waiting for the upcoming episodes very impatiently.

By far one of of the best anime (donghua for chinese animation) i've seen all year. I've watched it twice. Absolutely loved this series with my whole heart.

First, this is certainly NOT a shounen anime that is geared towards teens. It's rated mature at R 17+ on MyAnimeList, as it should be.

The scenery truly stands out as unique, and breath taking. Chinese animation has developed their own style with very detailed; exquisite landscapes that looks like poetry. The character design was refreshing. I really enjoyed the more mature looking characters.

The voice acting in this deserves an award. The emotional parts were so believable. The emotions really came through in a way that it didn't feel like acting.

The writing in this series is top notch in my opinion. I found it to be well written, with plenty of plot twist and mystery in terms of story line.

Although, the majority were fine to me, my only criticism is that SOME of the fight scenes could have looked smoother. Also, Chinese is spoken very fast, and the subtitles fly by. I cant read that fast. Not sure how this could be remedied for us English speakers, but I had to rewind many times to catch up to what was going on.

Everything in this series can be described as beautiful, and I highly recommend this series. 10/10

Animation is very great and art are also very beautiful and the best thing the storyline.It impressive!

Great story with beautiful art and music ! Although the animation did not follow the novel precisely (especially the romance between the two main characters has been "hidden", the anime still has plenty to offer.

Where do I even begin, there's so much I love about this show! All of the characters are extremely well designed and dynamic. Even characters that had considerably small amounts of screen time breathed into life with layers of personality built on a simple sentence or their expressions and even gestures. You can't help but empathize with the characters because they come across as very authentically human and relatable. The voice acting is superb as they are able to convey these characters in very realistic and human ways. There are also so many deep analogies through imagery such as contrasts in the background or deeper meanings reflected in nature which really goes to show the superb directing abilities of the producers. Many of the messages delivered in this show are extremely subtle that compiles into a bigger picture which is what makes this show so re-watchable because you can always catch something new that you haven't realized before. This story is a deeply enticing one that explores the themes of honour, sacrifice, love, family, and the cyclical nature of human life. The art itself is of extremely high quality, the movements are very fluid, and the music beautifully transitions and sets the tone for important moments. This is a powerful story that will leave you to continuously think about as it continue to explore the subtlety in love. For those who may have heard of the BL elements in this show and want to avoid it, it's so subtle you almost have to look for it. The storyline itself is very intricate and weaves many complex emotions for all of the characters. It's a beautifully crafted story where the protagonists happen to develop romantic feelings rather than having an absentminded romantic plot that is just dropped on the audience. Afterall, love is love is love, who cares what form it's in? Strongly urge everyone to give this show a try!
