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.

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!

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 am currently watching Douluo Continent and I am loving it! I didn't read the novel, nor watched the anime on purpose, because I didn't want to build up expectations, and as a fresh viewer I am liking the drama so so much - it's cheerful, funny and positive, and exactly my favorite kind of fantasy. The cast is great, Xiao Zhan is both super gorgeous and very convincing as smart, capable, kind and brave Tang San. :) I really love his character, the way he's keeping low-key, while being true bad-ass, the way he is nice and good, but not a pushover, but brave, strong-minded and principled. I like the main female character too, she's cute and bubbly, but very good at taking care of herself, a total oposite of usual damsel in distress, and I love it :) I like the story so far, it is intriguing, pulls you in and you can't wait for more, so I am really excited about it. As for the cgi - it depends, some are awesome (like purple demon eyes and soul powers), some not so much (like the spider monster), but too me it is more than passable and honestly, as a fan of fantasy dramas, I am used to it. It also occured to me that monsters could have been done like that on purpose, not to look too real, since it is aired on national TV at noon, when kids are watching, so I guess if monsters looked too real that could have been a problem with younger audiences... I love that Xiao Zhan did his own dubbing, but the sound overall (not just for him) isn't the best, I think that sound management could have been a little better, but it is not too distracting. Overall, it's interesting, funny and beautiful, and I enjoy it so much, I hope novel and anime fans will give it a chance and have understanding for the necessary changes. Afterall, the novel writer himself participated in development of the drama and was satisfied with the results, that should be telling enough. And, after the drama is over, I will definitely read the novel and watch the anime too :)

So I was a donghua fan of DC so when this drama was announced I was expected. First 3-4 episodes will feel like a bit slow for ppl already familiar with the story but this is necessary to introduce the story to ppl who still dont know the background. It starts picking up from ep 6 and let me tell you,I am floored by the special effects. It is worth to watch in HD,a visual treat. Im familiar with Xiao Zhan through the Untamed and soo far he's done an amazing job with tang san as well. For ppl who are into the mystery fantasy genre,10/10 would recommend . Go for it.
