Wait I did not see what happened the last 30 sec

ORV broke my light novel abstinence absolute peak writing

Ben Everest

I'm starting episode 1!! the animation is amazing so far!

a_daichi

And these episodes are longer than a normal anime episode, so idk where that came from.

No offense to Gek but the 30k frames marketing is so stupid. By that calculation, a 25min anime episode has 36k frames. Its nothing special or new. But also, thats not how it works either. The way everyone was fooled with this is actually insane 😭

Nico

LoTM and ORV are just those web novels everyone should read 🙂‍↕️💅 they are really good

I’m glad you guys are enjoying this I’ve known this was releasing a while ago but never got around to reading it but after the first 2 eps aired I knew I had to. Fast forward to now and I’m 370 chapters in and only 27% done but loving every minute of it. Now I’m seeing how much they glossed over in the first 3 eps it covers almost 80 chapters! I still love it though but hope they slow the pace down soon for those who haven’t read to understand better it is an amazing story and world. For those who have read the whole thing please give me strength this is going to take me awhile to finish reading but I’m ready.

I love Castlevania, but imagine if it had this quality of animation.

Im pretty sure season 2 took it from his favorite show to out of the top 5🤣

Welcome to the wonderful world of Donghua (chinese anime). Ive been sick to death of japanese anime since ive been watching it for about 20 years now. These past few years ive been getting WAY into Donghua. It's superior to anime in just about every way, aside from the translation which with "cultivator" concepts and chinese mythos is kind of impossible to fix lol just accept theres some stuff you wont understand completely. Totally different flavor to it than anime. China rocks at cgi/ most donghua are very high end polished cgi. honestly its funny as far as Donghua goes this is actually super tame (complexity of story, plot, power system and crazy shit happening) Most Donghua are 100s of eps long so you really just get lost in it. My recommenders for best donghua are Soul Land, Renegade Immortal, and Demon Hunter. The last 2 are still airing. Renegade Immortal is my number 1 atm its unbelievably good so far. Soul Land is an old classic and has about idk 8 seasons to it or something but really only watch the first 2 which is about 250 eps. but boy do they fly by you can binge the whole thing. Alot of these you can actually source right of youtube for free and alot of eps are full HD too. Theres also Chinese animated movies which are made by the same studio and are all interconnected like marvel films, and they are FANTASTIC. Ne Zha 1, Jiang Ziya (personal fave), Green Snake, White Snake, Ne Zha Reborn, New Gods: Yang Jian, and Ne Zha 2 which as of now isn't outside China yet. It looks like Hollywood is starting to catch onto how good these films are too because The most recent Ne Zha had a full premiere in US theaters!

PEAAAK

Chloé

This was sick! Definitely gonna rewatch these on my own and pick up the series. I see the arcane and souls vibe. It also reminds me of castlevania with the gothic aesthetic. Definitely needed something like this.

Chrissy

It's such a good anime, right? I was surprised to see Lotm since they haven't reacted to Tbhx. Maybe they will in the future though.

Alex 2976

Expecting to be hero x reaction 👀

hayakawa fam defender

carter had to specifically mention arcane season 1 do you hate season 2 that much haha

The entire first season has already been completed. This is just the global release of a show that was exclusively shown in china

DDDracula2147

The source material is already finished so as long as there is enough interest in the show it will have a clean ending.

DDDracula2147

yesssssssssssssssssssss

Sterling

Transmigrate means specifically that you enter a new world. These are all terms not from Isekai manga and anime but originally from Asian Webnovels, mostly Chinese. They’ve expanded into Japanese and Korean webnovels too but they were primarily formed in Chinese webnovels not exactly Isekai.

xSaorix

Goated game

Jackson D. Carter

Trust me just the first season will have better writing than those two combined

Junya

Looks like Dr Strange and Harry Potter on steroids, too much random CGI and not all of it blends into the background but i hope the story is compelling or its just another solo leveling demon slayer.

DontFailArtSchoolEren

In isekai there are different forms of them Transport -> Character enters the new world with his own body Reincarnate -> Character is reborn in a new body Transmigrate -> Character is put into the body of an already existing person

Yuion

This clears no story Leveling this one of the GOATS OF FICTION

Zipzzty

thanks, that helps a lot, the subs felt like reading simple chinese translated by chatgpt

SeCo D. Raw

Can't believe you liked these episodes that much. Storywise, it only gets better from here. I heard first 3 episodes is fast due to contract constraints (3 episode rule stuff). Episode 4 and onwards should be normal pacing which should help you relax ur eyes and process the information better. ------------------ Also crunchyroll subs are not fully translating the details on screen, which is why you guys are misunderstanding the names (seer, sleepless, corpse collector, midnight poet, nightmare etc..) These are names of sequences. It's supposed to be: Corpse Collector Pathway: Sequence 9: Corpse Collector Seer Pathway: Sequence 9: Seer Sleepless Pathway: Sequence 9: Sleepless Sequence 8: Midnight Poet Sequence 7: Nightmare Pathway names are "usually" named after the sequence 9's name of that specific pathway. Pathway is like a job class, and sequences are like job evolutions. For example using an RPG analogy: Melee Class: Brawler--> Knight --> Armored Knight --> Berserker ------------------ To break it down further. We know there are 22 pathways. Based on what I gathered, if there are 9 sequences in each pathway, then 22 x 9 = 198. There are 198 roles in the story. Besides the pathways and sequence stuff, you guys understood everything else.

SoySauce

This is cool you guys should 1000% react to link click, its definitely an underdog but one of the BESTS

Jess

Finally Peak Adaptation is OUT

Zipzzty

I have never been so confused from a first episode, but this looks so goood!! I've heard there's a lot of world building and a great power system so i might have to go ahead and read it too. But the animation is going crazyyyy

becca

Looking like lovecraftian murder mystery maybe?

Night Sterling

Either the official site webnovel.com or just where I read where it’s free, readnovelfull.com

Micah nichols

Some of the animation reminds me of Castlevania, but I don’t think the two companies are related. Also I will definitely be looking up where to read this cause I understand based on the comments why things were left out, but I am so confused on certain things.

Vladomyr Blue

@Studio Gek A LOTM rpg game is already being worked on and it looks insane. I dont know when it will come out tho.

Jonas Teigen

not shown in the donghua, but was already explained in the novel by this point, dont read if you think its better not to know for whatever reason: the last time its because being a seer means enhanced memory and intuition

Noggen

new into this series I'm guessing the mysticism ingredients they talked about to create potions are actual mystic things like catching "Lightning In A Bottle" the "Hanged Man" was holding (maybe used to create the potion "The Sailor") before he was summoned by Klein in EP1 can't wait to see more of them

SeCo D. Raw

Please watch to be hero x, I'm watching it rn and it's so peak

Starkfern

so whats the story??? lol looks good though

Colin Boehling

I recommend these donghua (chinese animation): "Link Click" - fantasy, super power, time travel, mistery, suspense "The Land Of Miracles" - action, fantasy, wuxia (martial arts) "Galaxy Devastator" - action, adventure, sci-fi "Twin Spirit Detectives" - mystery, psychological, supernatural And these japanese anime: "Scar on the Praeter" - action, fantasy, superpower "Unlimited Psychic Squad" - action, superpower, sci-fi "High Card" - fantasy, action, organized crime "Blast of Tempest" - mystery, adventure, action, fantasy, psychological "The Millionaire Detective" - action, comedy, crime, mystery "Night Raid 1931" - action, superpower, military, historical

Kyra Kasya

INSANE PEAK Also comments why are some of you so weird, Behave pls

terror squad

Also since we’re on the topic of webnovels, if you guys EVERRR want to get into Webnovels, I would highlyyyyyyyyt recommend DOOMSDAY Wonderland. Very very very highly.

xSaorix

Praying for you to watch to be hero x eventually

Night Sterling

Okay….so this is my first time seeing this. I’ve only read the webnovel. Maybe this is not a common take. But I don’t really care for the art style at ALL. I don’t like how the characters are drawn, they look extremely typical, cliche, and there’s no unique look to any of the characters. They look like cheap characters you get with anime filters on some app. And very typical. The background and everything is nice, but I don’t really like how things feel 3D sometimes. Idk. And yeah, from what I remember, LotM started out with a bang, lots of information thrown at you but this feels worse? Like the anime is trying way too hard to look cool or like a fantasy world. The novels start felt a bit more organic and slow with the same amount of information. I’m not sure, maybe it’s been a while since I read it. But I’m not really feeling it. The story is fine, but the art AND animation is not really pulling me in like you guys are saying.

xSaorix

This is one of the best webnovals of this generation! We are so lucky to have it animated! 😭 I hope one day 20th century boys and Vegabond gets this level of adaptation

Аркайнен

Yea it’s also not just Crunchyroll there’s other websites with weird translations hopefully they fix it !

Аркайнен

It’s mainly for the first few episodes according to what they said it’s more to hook audiences in because the Novel is slower paced at the start and they were required to adapt the first few chapters by episode 3 so they had to really rush it but it still really good!

Аркайнен

idk what's going on in the story but I love the animation 😍😍

Kyle

These first episodes go by so fast and are quicker paced compared to the novel and they skipped some stuff, but I heard they will bring them to normal pace after episode 3. There’s lots of heavy world building at the beginning of the novel so that’s why so much is happening at once, but it pays off really well!!

Аркайнен

jack is goated for picking up on the bloodborne vibes

Matthew Valentine

If you guys want more high quality animation like this check out "To Be Hero X" its another Chinese anime that's currently releasing and the art and everything kind of reminds me of Arcane.

Wyvern

I strongly suggest for you to read the novel. It will be so much clearer, especially with how complicated the story is.

Den Wolf

Saw they had an episode of this and I though I'd watch it myself, but after a minute I decided I didn't want to be confused alone. Now we can all be confused together.

Wyvern

Hell yes! Now we can all get confused together while watching the show. I haven’t read the novel but I am planning to, otherwise I will go through my remaining brain cells while trying to understand what is going on.

Diana Lira

Peak

Ron Jackson Jr

Apparently they rushed and left out a few things, but I am not against it. The creator of LOTM himself mentioned that the most difficult episodes to adapt were these first two, because of the requirements for the donghua adaptation. They could not add everything because the first few chapters were slow paced and they wanted to rush for the start and organize it more throughout. It makes sense because it’s not easy to adapt eight novels of story into a show. He also said the episodes progressively get better throughout the season, and that these two episodes were nothing compared to the rest.

Elle

So glad you guys watched it, It's incredible. And don't be worried if you are confused at first, you are meant to be more or less

Felix Gryphon

This shit looks like a movie wtf

jigglenuts3000

i watched this with my brother (he's read all the novels) and he was explaining the power system so i'm grateful i wasn't as lost as i was expecting to be while watching this lol loved it!

Hafsa

The novel is a masterpiece. But so far the animation is a disappointment. Way too rushed as well as too intense and dramatic in visuals and music for the story.

Den Wolf

I know nun abt this apart from a synopsis… sounds cool so im in

jigglenuts3000

Lord of the Mysteries webnovel is peak. The animation is great. The only negative so far with the anime is the very fast pace. Episode 1 was 16 chapters and episode 2 was 30 chapters. The studio said they had to condense the first 3 episodes a lot because of restrictions but were able to ease up the pace starting with episode 4. Also Crunchyroll is so bad with the translations. They either mistranslated a bunch of stuff or just didn't bother translating important information.

AV

can't look away for a second fr

HOLY PEAK

terror squad

Agreed, when i knew it was a chinese production i was ready to get a lot thrown into my plate without understanding most of it at the beginning (past expriences lol). I hope as the series goes on it's easier to follow. Although since it's called "lord of the mysteries" i will let it pass for now, i lowkey enjoyed how confusing it was

1804

Yassssssss

fcitifciti12

This was such a surprise!! I’m glad you guys like this! It’s definitely really different from everything you’ve watched here so far. The novel is so unbelievably peak fiction and popular that’s it’s logged in the national library of China. The studio (B.C May Pictures) is relatively young but they’ve already produced a few significant shows in the Chinese animation or Donghua space. Them along with Studio LAN and Haoliners Animation league are probably currently the three leading Chinese animation studios. They’ve already integrated into the Japanese animation space the last several years. Studio LAN’s Link Click really set off even more intereste in Chinese Animation and with To be Hero X that’s airing currently and even with Nezha 2 this year in the animated cinema space with its success, I can see the potential of Chinese animation beginning to find its way into mainstream. Also funny that you guys mention about it seemingly being a great game. They ARE actually making an RPG based on the world. It was announced in 2023. Looking forward to watching something new with you guys!

eimi

yess i remember when i watched a cdrama for the first time after only watching anime, kdramas and jdramas, and i realized JUST how different they all sound. Like I cant imagine not being able to distinguish between them. It sounded a bit weird for a while but then I got used to it and now I actually love how it sounds

All might

I've heard about this so so much over the years and came very close to reading it as my first step into webnovels. So of course I was very excited for the anime, and I can definitely say that they delivered a 5 course meal. It seems the pacing was off and they skipped a lotta stuff but I loved the feeling of learning stuff along with MC. Not to even mention the gorgeous art style, animation and sound. My only complaint is shared with the manhua I've read, and carter also had the same complaint: The characters mention stuff as if we know it already, the storytelling acts as if we know it already, everything is as if we're supposed to know what it is, but in actuality we've never been told what it is. I've only had this issue with chinese stuff so I'd guess its cultural stuff most people know, or derivatives of common concepts, but it could also be due to lines being cut out for pacing. It's not the worst thing but I have dropped some manhua because they just had too much of this, I'm hoping I'll see less of it in this series going forward.

Lusanagi

Thanks Geks! I don't know what it is about chinese, but it sounds odd to my ears. I'm probably not used to hearing it. Don't know anything about this anime. I'll give it a try. Edit: Alright, I finished the two episodes. The animation is really good. It looks stunning. It's hard to explain, but I felt like the sound effect department was lacking. Not the music though. I did not like how we're just thrown in the story. It really felt like you had to have read the donghua to know the premise. Or maybe it was just the mega lore dump right in the first episode. The second episode was much better in that regard.

jrnoodles

its interesting because the first time he wakes up from a dream we think its Dunn Smith's power? but the second time he's not arounddd so I wonder what is actually going on

All might

It’s not impossible 😌 as long as we keep requesting it.

El

I was also thinking about what 'exist' actually means?? As in physically exist? does an image, story or model count? was it meant to be an original thought? I actually found it relatable that Klein struggled in that scene (even tho he was envisioning items from Earth) because its such a strange ask to begin with

All might

52:55 "an object that doesnt exist in this world" confused me because they dont know he is a transmigrator. So how could he imagine something that doesn't exist? Someone then told me it actually translates to 'doesn't belong' which is slightly better but I still couldnt think of anything except like mythical creatures which arent objects.

All might

Omg maybe Nezha is coming one day 🥹

pchryadiggg

Ngl you guys are probably the least confused watchers I've seen, which is epic. The first two episodes were definitely very fast paced and they skipped some novel scenes because they were contractually forced to get to a certain scene by episode 3. But they said they'll make up for it in the latter episodes.

HaoHao 9

!!!!

All might

This does look like it would make a great video game.

Vanesa

Yeah the Victorian era style like bloodborne is soooo perfect

Jackson D. Carter

people said the novel has been top rated in china but said the anime has condensed and maybe speedrun the plot which could be the fumble of the series, great eye candy though!

DontFailArtSchoolEren

Carter, you’ll really like orb i feel. Can’t wait for y’all to see it. Anyway, this donghua is good so far. I love the mystery and the animation’s insane.

El

I like this one more than some of the other ones I've seen. I like the industrialized london style they are going for. You can tell they love European history and culture. I can get most of the references.

Vanesa

You watch it !! Yessss !! China has good show lately ! Link click , tbhx and now this (this is the ones I watched)

HaNo0onat

lees goo!!

Snowberre

Just a thought: Unless this blows up like crazy (which right now its not), would love to put this in the highest patreon tier and continue the series. Very high quality show but the #s might not be the best unless it starts to build steam from word of mouth etc.

Jimmy

i feel like people arent appreciating this enough for what it is

All might

the chef princess? girl how was that confusing😭

All might

I love media that incorporates stuff like tarot or zodiacs into their stories as symbolism or themes. Something about destiny and roles that have to be either fulfilled or denied is great. Tokyo ghouls artwork did that so seamlessly, I really loved it when I learned more about tarot and reread the story and could find all the little signs throughout lol

Limini

I had no idea of what's happening until I read some comments under YT reaction videos and watched few shorts explaining episode 1. I heard that the novel is top-notch storytelling with great worldbuilding and lore so Im very intrigued.

Murasaki

Everything has tropes. Isekai itself is a trope 😅😅😅

Limini

Check out the ending song its very very good.

Murasaki

The translations are kind of bad and there are even some fans that did a fansub for it on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LordofTheMysteries/comments/1lnrpzp/donghua_if_you_want_the_best_watching_experience/ But here are some kinda big mistranslations from the first episode that even I noticed: Episode 1: 7:02 His sister is actually in Tingen Technical School (from the text), not Backlund university. 16:04 He doesn’t say “The Celestial Worthy” 4 times. He says: “The Immortal Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings” “The Sky Lord of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.” “The Exalted Thearch of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.” “The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.” 16:54 He says, “Not seeking death won’t lead to death” 17:50 “command” not “summon” 22:27 He says he has has 2 sequence 9 potion formulas not the potions themselves. 22:32 Spectator, not Audience. 24:03 They decided not to translate the text revealing their names. The girl is “Audrey Hall” and the guy is “Alger Wilson” 33:23 Text on the screen says “Daly Simone, Nighhawks, Evernight Goddess” 33:47 “We can’t always keep you safe” Episode 2: 40:48 Didn’t translate part of the text. Should also include that he is Sequence 8: Midnight Poet, Sleepless pathway 41:06 Should say Sequence 9: Sleepless, Sleepless Pathway 41:28 Should say Sequence 9: Corpse Collector, Corpse Collector Pathway 41:36 Should say Sequence 9: Sleepless, Sleepless Pathway 42:28 Should say Sequence 7: Nightmare, Sleepless Pathway 46:09 Should say Sequence 9: Mystery Pryer, Mystery Pryer Pathway 54:36 Should say Sequence 9: Seer, Seer Pathway 55:41: The area between the brows is also called the glabella. An extra note: Sometimes they aren't actually speaking Mandarin in the show, but rather Hermes, a language made for the show, such as for the starting scene of episode 1 and Leonord reading out "Everyone will die, including me" from the notebook.

HaoHao 9

ITS HEREEEEEE 🔥💞

They worked on this for years (first trailer was two years ago) and with wayyyy more manpower than mappa did. They are also getting a good sum of money, partly funded by the government. So I doubt that the employees were stretched too thin.

You guys want to be really confused try watching Chinese dramas (c dramas). So much product placement and such a difference from kdramas. There are a lot of episodes usually about 40. I like the older ones so I recommend fated to love you or the prince who turned into a frog.

Vanesa

didn't know I needed this until now

Phoenix

The novel is awesome!! So the anime although these episodes are pretty fast paced the source material is awesome super exciting to watch this first season with you guys!!

socksrlame

Yeah I love open interpretation stories, that's why I love dark souls and jjk you gotta use your brain

I watched another Chinese anime that was about a girl that's a chef and gets sent back in time. Its good but definitely confusing at times.

Vanesa

I have a friend who is obsessed with the novel and yeah this sounds like it gets real insane.

Snow

Cuz it's mid and the fans hate all other shows and think bleach is superior

Getting major Multiverse of Madness vibes from this show, or more like vibes of what Multiverse of Madness could have been

Seth Aasland

First episode was okay imo. Animation is good, but idk what the fucks going on ..and I get it that’s the point to watch the show to figure it out but I would like a little more explanation

Ayoodude

Bleach guys please

Ayoodude

Hopefully the animators are doing ok and were not getting MAPPA JJK type overwork to get this kinda of quality. Not to be that guy, but I can't help but wonder. Looks like there's CGI tho so that probably helps

John D. Acebes

I have no idea what this is. Is it actually good? Like good good? I read the synopsis and it's an isekai, if it has any tropes at all I'm out lol. Anyone who's watched it, is it coming out now?

Nashi

W

Qhoa

kinda random but Mistborn show with this animation would feed families

Kite

So the first 2 episodes is roughly 44 chapters of the novel lol, so definitely a bit rushed. I heard it will start slowing down tho. Regardless these episodes actually weren’t bad, just gotta be hella locked in.

Micah nichols

I kind of love that we're kinda thrown in and have to figure out slowly what is common sense and what isn't. What does the fool know? Is this normal/expected by him? How about the others? I love it. Anime has such an exposition problem where they narrate absolutely everything and here even the inner thoughts are mysteries to be unraveled. He just thinks what he thinks instead of explaining everything and we have to infer what he knows

Limini

Dang I wanted to see his past and future :(

Seth Aasland

YES!! I love this story! One of my favorites actually. Hopefully the anime lives up to my expectations. So far I feel these 2 episodes were a bit rushed for newcomers and the music in the background was a bit too much for me but that’s my only complaint! Everything else looks amazing! I hope they do this story justice! Glad you guys are enjoying it!

GreetswithJudgement

Completely normal to be confused and have questions we’ll find out what’s going on alongside klein cos he dk what’s going on either

The world seems so Europe inspired, architecture, names, clothes, etc so when Asian myth and culture comes up it seems so out of place, almost anachronistic somehow Really gives uncanny valley, a sense of unease
