After having watched Blade & Soul and the first episode of School Shock a while ago, I have faith for anime trying to adapt works from other parts of Asia to test the waters and be able to fit the Japanese animation standards even if they collaborated together a few times in the past, therefore I'll give it a watch just to see how it could work itself based on that purpose.

Here's more details behind this upcoming animated creation:

Air date: 1/8

Just find out there was a pv for this anime from last month featuring the OP song:

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
The composer is Ryo Kawasaki (https://twitter.com/pmdjpmdj3) and it looks like it's his first time composing for anime.

So it looks like a special aired with live action commentary and some actual footage (not entire episode though) for the series.

Can someone finally move this to Current Series subforum please, given it already aired yesterday?

QUALITY anime of the season.

Lol I found Indo, Spanish and Vietnamese sub :heh:

This series is not that bad, why no sub team want to do it? :heh:

Day 7: New episode out, still no EN sub for ep01. I guess this comes down to the "can't rip it off Crunchyroll/Funi, why bother" mentality.

The first ep finally has sub TT~TT

There is another sub group that is currently working on it, so at least there will be subs.

Im watching till the end whether its good or bad, its rare to have a chinese adaption. The anime has a different feel in it also.

considering this season doesn't have much romance, this show should fill that gap.

It's rare cause pretty much all Chinese action webtoons have 90% of the same settings... it gets quite boring after a while reading the same things just with different characters.

Same deal with Korean webtoons, just replace Martial Art with Street Brawl...
(tho Korean webtoons have greater art quality then Chinese)

That's mostly the reason why there's very little Chinese and Korean adoption into Japanese anime (and why most times there are very little to no SUB)

Anime from Games is another matter, cause that isn't as restricted as webtoons are. (webtoons aims for Chinese readers, Game aims for all)

Now, for this series... well... they did change some things from the manga but kept the series of events the same.

Also, to "get the jokes" in this series, you would at least need to know some basic Chinese proverbs and terms.

IE: "year sword" and "tea sword", tea here means minute... pretty much no one knows until they saw TL Note on the webtoon page...
This was actually a joke... but I don't see anyone laughing...


The series WILL NOT explain about the proverbs and terms and automatically ASSUMES you will understand the jokes when it comes up.
Because this series was AIMED for Chinese Readers, who can get the jokes.

^ well true but I still enjoy it. It doesn't feel like forced jokes so it somehow still funny to me.

Well watched the first episode well its different and maybe worth watching the MC seems to be a con-artist

which groups are subbing this? wondering because of the second episode fail quality like

Dynamic tag cannot be rendered. (PrintableThread)
Although this is an unlicensed anime, I'm always a little iffy on listing subbing groups on here. You can PM me if it is that important. For now, episode 1 is on Editing and Quality Control from the group. Episode 2 still has a long ways to go.

found who fail translated from fail spanish to uber fail engrish, they/he/she goes by the name of "ShiteSubs"
