QUAN ZHI GAO SHOU REVIEW
-BUTTERFLY BLUE
OVERALL: 9.6
PLOT: 10/10
Why do people tend to give more of their time in games? How can someone be so serious in playing it? Can people find happiness just by sitting in front of a computer and staring at the progress his character have? This series focuses on a mid 20's guy who gave most of his time in playing an MMORPG. It is not your typical game genre anime which only tackles the status of the game such as agility, dexterity, damage or the class of the characters such as mage, brawler and other elements of a game. This story also let us have a glimpse of what pro-players life are, how serious they can be on things that don't matter to others, how something small in the eye of others can be a dream they want to obtain, how it can satisfy their life. What's also thrilling in this anime is that no matter how deep the protagonists fall into, he find a way to survive, he naturally have that skill to come bak to where he should be. And even if he was cast out of his current position, ripped off all his efforts, he don't admit defeat. His love for the game let him encounter people who also feel the same. It's simple and fascinating. The way he strive to come back, the way he help other people, the way he start anew, it is really exciting.
CHARACTER: 9/10
The protagonist is too overpowered, maybe that's what others think. But he's not. He is not someone who can take all forces only by himself. He is not a one man team. He admits that the game he is playing cannot be played alone. He know his weakness and he know that he needed help from someone. He is humble but at the same time, ignorant. He is just someone who know the game and how his enemy reacts on whatever he'll do. The development of characters are not really focused on. Well, it seems that there's not really characteristics that needs to change. Every characters have their unique attitude that you will come to love. Everyone of them have flaws and unwanted emotions, some of them you might hate, some of them you might love. The only thing I got confused with is the name of the characters, as well as their faces. Since there are too many characters, viewers will possibly forget the others and got confused if ever it will be showed again. Apart from that, some of the faces are really like the other ones. I, myself, questions who is who.
SOUND AND ANIMATION: 10/10
I did not expect a great Chinese anime, honestly. I thought that it will be some predictive story or that it's just bad. But seeing this one here, I've changed my mind. It is cool, great, and fantastic. The animation is superb, it really looks like an avatar of a game. Additionally, though the dub is Chinese and I'm really not familiar with it, it still leaves an impression on the emotion that the character is trying to portray. The opening and ending songs are also catchy, along with how the animation of it takes place.
ENJOYMENT: 10/10
Who's not going to enjoy it? The action scene is cool, the characters are awesome, the story itself is really something. I have no idle time watching this series. There's no scenario I've missed. I even watched it on my way home, it is too irresistible.
ENDING: 9/10
I want more. I need more. July 2019 is not that far. Season 2 is not that far. The ending of season 1 is really a cliff hanger. It feels like it's just the start of the story. It makes the viewer want more, his revenge, his comeback, the pride that's been taken away from him. The need to present himself again as the guy who nobody can't defeat. I really want more of this anime. Swear!
