I hope 23 episodes only cover up to sennin war arc (or up to the end of In arc) not the entire manga.

Let the final arc get its own 12 episodes or something.

Mad Pierrot · 2017-12-17, 10:03

Only 23?! Isn't that the actual length of the manga?

Also, all the character designs seem like "younger" when compared to the first anime

Two adaptations and they're both trash? Disappointing.

it is during these hours that a competent director is essential. Moreover, after Houzuki, nothing prevents it from being a divided season.

That's a fair point. If they split it in half 23 episodes is definitely enough to cover one hundred chapters if you're careful. Magi and JoJo did it without much issue.

Mad Pierrot · 2018-01-01, 20:37

*sweating* Even the 27 volume long FMA manga was adapted into 64 episodes. I haven't watched Hozuki but I hope the staff members are highly aware of the manga's length.

Crunchyroll will stream it

Episode 1:

This was an interesting episode. From that catchy OP song to the character cast and colorful world setting, it seems like a show that I think has a lot of potential.

The way they introduced the characters so far is interesting, almost all of them stand out in some way or another especially Dakki with her dark intentions. I'm even interested in knowing more about Taikoubou with his character role.

Overall, interesting stuff. I like the Chinese style of the setting as well.

bakato · 2018-01-12, 16:11

Never read the source material or the previous anime, but I like what I'm seeing so far. Character designs and animation seemed clunky, but there was plenty of good humor, action, and music. Definitely a keeper.

Nivek von Beldo · 2018-01-12, 19:35

The Series was different(of course is a remake) that remember, more on the comedy side(or maybe the original was more good with their melodrama) but still just like remembered, pretty good, so we going to get the truth ending here.

for all dubs and subs...translated the titles, i remember the original(they keep the proper historical title in spanish equivalent) but the new ones are incomplete, use the proper translation(great general, governator,etc)

RDNexus · 2018-01-12, 20:08

I had this feeling Ep01 was kinda rushed.
Is any Manga Reader here? If yes, could you please confirm or not if it was rushed?

And BTW, how would the title be translated more literally? Instead of Soul Hunter...

Your not the only one. The first half wasnot too bad, but it felt like some material was rushed through in the second half.

Spoiler for ep1:

Yes, the first episode skimmed through the first volume and a bit of the second volume of the manga.

Spoiler for What is skipped:

Yes, many things were skipped, but I can understand why they did it.
This, after all, is just the prologue where Taikobo tried to confront Dakki for the first time and failed miserably. Spending two or more episodes in it is a bad idea.
Now we move to the main story, I believe it will slow down.

God Sealing Saga? Or Romance of God Sealing ("romance" as in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)

Mad Pierrot · 2018-01-12, 21:13

Mother of all expositions! The setting, Taikobo's past, Supushan out of nowhere, Dakki, Koh Hiko, etc. If it weren't for the fact I watched the first series as a kid, then I would be completely lost XD Even the first anime's first episode ended with Shinkoyo taking down Taikobo rather than Taikobo's journey

At least the animation is epic.

BTW, how did Shinkoyo discover so quickly he was in the Project Hoshin and that Taikobo was the user? And episode 1 and Taikobo already feels that he will never win

TheForsaken · 2018-01-12, 21:24

The old anime is as slow as the manga, but on the other hand it only managed to adapt the first half and had an original ending.
So I just can't like it, since the second part of Houshin Engi is the most epic shit I've ever read, with awesome characters and plot twists.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	throws hat onto the ground Spoiler for ep1: Goddamn it, if you have to re-animate this manga, get enough time (cour) to do it properly. If you can't do that, then start the story at a place where you can actually not break the speed limits and not scare away any person that never watched the original. But what do we get? The most rushed crap I've ever see. They slap lines and scenes from the manga, but it makes little sense because of everything else they skipped. For instance, Supushan talks about Taikoubou's intelligence... which is definitely not shown in the episode. On top of that, despite finally re-animating the manga, the quality isn't even that good. The OP hardly moves... And what is that song? Do I really need to find a link to the original OP? Just what part of that electrical rock rambling that doesn't even sound like a human language fits this story? As for the voices... Well, there is just too much bad going on that I am almost willing to put it aside. I knew it wouldn't be pretty when I heard it was 2-cour, but to think they would try to start from the very beginning. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
