The King's Avatar

I got completly addicted to it over summer. Now I'm watching it again (more slowly) on netflix. Netflix subs are better than those from WeTV. Not radically different (maybe they reviewed the originals?) But better.

I've recomended this tv series to anyone I thought could like it. Now that is in a well known platform even more.

This series is really one of a kind, no love lines, no violence or fantasy elements, just telling ordinary stories of ordinary people, but the message is delivered in such a powerful and dedicated way. Cinematography is surprisingly good. Stunning CG. Fresh and lively cast acting.

Completely stunned by the gaming scenes! Some of the best mocap combined with CG rendering. In my view even better than some Hollywood productions. The story is fascinating and extremely well told, completed by equally amazing editing and background music. The crown jewel is hands down the lead actor Yang Yang, who convincingly starred the once-famous esports player and effortlessly portrayed his inspiring comeback story. And his face, oh his face! A young Cruise/Reeves!

This particular TV series has done total justice to the anime. Loved the cast acting and cinematography of the series. The series story is little different from the anime/web-novel but it's not totally off. Some cases have been re-written so that its easier to create.

The series use UE4 to demonstrate real-time, full-body motion capture, and get realistic facial expressions by 3D scan in real time. which is better to show the game world. Almost 3A games could not achieve it. It includes more than 300 minutes CG in the total series. It is more creative and amazing than I imagine.
