Shaonian Ge Xing, Highly Recommended!
Hello! I just want to talk about a show I've been brain rotting over. It's so nice! It's a show about a martial arts band of teenagers trying to prove themselves to the adult world as a whole. The premise is two dudes becomes begrudging friends and get dragged into this strange mystery and a rupal drag race looking monk takes them on a strange pilgrimage to his home. The effects and animations look really cool for a cgi show and I really like how the cgi people look way prettier then uncanny valley. They put a lot of focus on creating realistic looking fabric and extremely beautiful eye appealing characters. The action is very scrumptious and the humor is slapstick based at times. The show name is "Shaonian Ge Xing" and the english name is more rough "Youths and the Golden Coffin", "Great journey of Teenagers", or "Legend of Legendary Youths". This is also hosted on BiliBili and I think you can probably watch it subbed through them on possibly youtube!
Just to introduce a few of my favorite skrunkies in the show I'll explain a bit about them and how to pronounce their names!
First off is Xiao Se (Zhe-OW She-e), I love him so much. He's one of those 5D chess kind of dudes but he's also a cripple who's got a secret identity. He's just really interesting and poised and grade A simping material.
The duetro-tagonist of this show is also Lei Wujie (Lay Woo-Gee), He's a lil red dude. He's pretty passionate and friendly. Something I really like about him is he's not a total stereotype of an action hero. He's funny and nice but also admits his frustration on always losing! He tries not to be a burden and tries to do right by everyone around him. He's a 10/10 sweetie pie.
The next character in the series who's like a third protagonist?? He's mainly in season 1 but comes back later in the show, his name is Wuxin (Woo She-e-Nh). His name means "Heartless"! (according to my show translation) It can also mean "No Mind". He's a monk with a mysterious past and for some reason or other everyone also wishes to kill him! The story changes into the two main protagonists Xiao Se and Lei Wujie escorting Wuxin to his former home. Over time, they make a deep friendship and it's really beautiful. I won't go too much into him other then his past is really interesting and season 1 is all about him and solving his mystery!
It's hardly findable in the USA but if you can find anything about it I highly recommend checking it out. It's got a donghua, mobile game, and a live action from what I can tell. It's a great experience and so much fun to just turn your brain off and watch!
