Fog Hill of Five Elements

10/10

This came into my radar out of nowhere. But within first 5min of the first episode I knew this was going to be a fantastic show. In terms of action this is the best anime I have seen this year. Fog Hill of Five Elements offers smooth animation of One Punch Man, coolness of Afro Samurai, comedy of Kung Fu Panda and Zen like art of Mushishi.

Long ago The Sacred Shrouded Mountain was home of many vicious monsters. To save the human five powerful Aspects appeared. They harnessed the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They sealed the demons and saved the humanity. The story follows the journey of fire wilder Xuan as he finds himself between a fight of demons and humans.

The action is the best aspect of Fog hill of five elements. I have not seen such amazing fight choreography and animation since One Punch Man (2015). It is a visual treat. Some moments in the fight is just extraordinary. There are plenty of fight scenes to enjoy and each fight is unique and beautifully animated.

The design of the characters were awesome. Every central character looked unique. I loved the art style. The sound effects in the fight were great. One of the thing I liked was the comedy, especially in the first episode. I hope there will be more comedy scenes in the coming episodes.

This is an original Chinese anime but it far surpasses some of the best Japanese anime. So far three episodes have been released. Probably there will be total of 8 episodes. I am looking forward to see more of it. This is a must watch for anyone who likes action anime.

10/10 absolute freaking masterpiece! The animation is stunningly beautiful in the fight scenes are intricate, detailed and masterful. The storyline is incredibly interesting, well written and the characters each have such definitive unique personalities and they are so captivating. This is a martial arts and artistic masterpiece.

This is an absolute must watch Donghua! Even though there's only a few episodes they are quite long most of them. At least 30 to 40 minutes each. So even though the first season is three episodes It's an hour and 20 minutes total and the second season has four episodes for almost 2 hours. So don't be discouraged by the low number of episodes. Although they do need more episodes LOL Seriously fantastic show!

"Fog Hills of Five Elements" effortlessly captivates its audience with a symphony of intense fights, seamlessly weaving a narrative that balances adrenaline-pumping action and rich storytelling. This anime series, regrettably underrated, deserves a spotlight for its meticulous animation and compelling character development. In a landscape crowded with options, "Fog Hills" distinguishes itself, earning a well-deserved 5 stars for its masterful execution and ability to leave a lasting impact on viewers. An exhilarating journey through the realms of animation that demands recognition and acclaim.

The action sense is brilliant. Fast but outstanding! I'm surprised it has a story too. The art is also drawn beautifully. When i first saw it, I couldn't wait for the next episode.

Literally, this series has the best fights in all anime. You can't change my mind. The choreography is just mind blowing it even surpasses Ufotable's animation! Too bad it's only 3 episodes. Definitely this is one of the best action animes out there.
