Douluo Continent

I have watched all the 11 episodes that have been released so far. It's interesting and thought provoking. The CGI is also top notch.

First I am not fan from book, manhua, or donghua. So I am pure drama fan. This drama is really good, from acting, direction, and special effects. It will become my bottomline for chinese fantasy drama next. The story is little confusing and dragging the first 5 episodes if you never watch/read other adaptation, but the more story grow and the characters evolved the more interesting it become. If you like avengers you can considered it china avengers. But seriously try to watch and persistent until you reach 7 episode you will be hooked by story, characters, direction and most importantly special effects.

I already read novel and watched it's animation till ep 130. Drama has little different plot than actual novel but it's more interesting...and still holding original novel plot's facts and substance. Characters are also good and amazingly portrait so far especially TangSan, his father, Master Gang, Headmaster. Oscar character is more interesting than novel. Plot pace is picked up in latest episodes. Fighting scenes and unfolding of story is amazingly done. Overall CGI is top notch. Uptill episode 11, all Cast acting is also good. Exact Copy and paste of novel in Drama make drama draggy and boring..but this is not the case here. Because of some changes in drama plot, story is really intriguing and attractive. Plot and character's building in drama is really perfect. One can feel more attachment with TangSan and his father relationship than novel and animation. Drama actually covered that missing emotional feeling between father-son duo. Xiao Zhan, calvin Chen, Qiu Xin Zhi, Kenny Chung, Gai Tai Yu, Liu Mei Tong are doing amazing acting. I even like artist playing Xiao Wu character. Looking forward to new characters too..San Pao is cute pig-dog. I recommend to watch it.. because as things are unveiling one after another in the plot, it excites you about what will happen next. As I already know the actual plot of the novel..I was not expecting much attraction towards drama....but Drama plot is more exciting and intriguing and it wants me to watch more. Overall drama worth watching!! Watched till Episode 29- Story is really going very good. Many things are unfolding and many things are becoming more secretive. I like how headmaster and master built a team spirit within 7 students. 7 different people with diff thinking, diff agendas in life are difficult to become a team..but both teacher push them to find their own weaknesses and become one team. New characters are introducing one after another..and they all are making their own place in drama n able attract attention towards themselves. Emotional scene are very well done..as expected from Xiao Zhan..he nails such scenes. Story becoming more interesting n secretive. Enjoying it alot. Its giving fresh experience then novel and anime but still keeping novel actual plot as base! This is drama's USP!

I've personally watch animations and this drama. Both are good. Initially I'm worried that this will spoil the animations but it turn out very good. Some people rated 1star must be hater which cannot be trustes. Go and have a look/watch it youself. The special effects is good and above my expectations. The acting skill is good too. We have to be realistic as real life is not like animations. No matter how good the special effects can do there is still limitation compare to animation where what you draw and imagine can be done. We have to be realistic. Overall the storyline modification vs animation is acceptable as we cannot be doing all hundred over episode animation drama in 40 episode. So the slight change on story is acceptable and understandable.

This TV series is based on a book, but it's a modified version with added elements about the growing pain, success and exciting fighting to gain more skills/powers of a group of youth especially "Tang San" . There are splendid scenes with special effects. On top of that, Xiao Zhan, who is acting as Tang San, did an excellent job in portraiting Tang San since he's still a teenager. From the a bit of unconfident boy till he went through so much with friends, teachers, loved one together, finally became the most power one, Xiao Zhan showed step by step how Tang San grew up. Besides the fighting, the pain, the affection, the investigation game, this TV series is quite funny from time to time. Overall speaking this is an excellent TV series worth watching. Hope you will enjoy it too.
