Another thing, Xie Lian is literally 800+ years old. It’s not that he doesn’t have character flaws, but that his character development arc has already happened. It’s that he’s literally been tempered by centuries of experience. He’s always been kind but you really do see his growth. You’ll see in future seasons hopefully!
yes i really hope they make season 3 because it would show, esp people that havent read the books, the layers that xie lian has and how far he has come
@@brendareynoso3737right?? He was as naive and stubborn as any other protagonist(Luffy, Naruto etc2) His character didn’t just spawn and boom! Kind, “peaceful”, forgiving blabla. He had 800years of experience with mortals and immortals that he became what he is now.

Heaven Officials Blessing is actually EXTREMELY popular in China. The author there is practically seen as a danmei GOD but it isnt very popular in western media.
Yeah, I mean the fic that broke ao3 and caused for there to be a tag limit was for this fandom…(lol) That and the books are literally now being sold at your local barnes and nobles
Your description of Xie Lian is precisely what I enjoy about him. Polite, kindhearted, but not a doormat. He's peaceful but by choice - competent, but knows when to hold back. I adore him! (and he carries half-eaten food in his clothes, gotta love that!)
FYI, TGCF’s Heaven isn’t like the western idea of heaven. It’s not an afterlife, just a heavenly court up in the sky where gods reside. So an average person can’t ever go or see heaven, unless they cultivate their way into ascending. The dead instead either pass on, or live as ghosts in the mortal realm.

13:43 MXTX confirmed that Hua Cheng constantly dripping in silver jewellry is a nod to him being ethnically one of Miao people in his living days. The Miao are a specific ethnic group in south/southeast China that have been silversmithing masters for centuries they have historically made heavy use of silver jewellry/clothing/decoration in many traditional holiday festivities and life milestones.
In which Danny is everyone who watched the dub. Seriously who authorized Jun Wu? I did not sign up for getting all hot and bothered about JUN BLOODY WU okay 🙈😭
Danny WILDLY underestimating how popular TGCF is lmao. These books even have a whole live action adaptation fully filmed and we're all just waiting for it to finally be released.
Your read on Xie Lian’s character is spot on. The books eventually reveal all the backstory about how he became so humble and kind, and it is ROUGH. The result is the opposite of a boring protagonist because it’s a rare man who goes through hell and chooses compassion.
5:08 i actually love that you picked up on this because believe it or not this is actually a huge plot point...xie lian being almost without any flaws at first is entirely on purpose and only makes the rest of the show ever crazier!!
"What an undeliverably dark outcome for otherwise peacful character" is a wild thing to say about Xie Lian and i love it 😭✋️ boy's had enough, he can keep an eye
The jingly dazzling bits on Hua Cheng's clothing are because of his Miaos ethnicity. It's one of the 55 ethnic minority groups in China. Miao also loves butterflies and that's why he has those silver butterflies.
yup yup!! if you're ever curious, look up Miao clothing; HC's silver jewelry is very similar to Miao women's. I've also heard that traditionally, touching a Miao women's hair is exclusively reserved for spouses. So XL retouching HC's hair in the first season references that.
butterfly has symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. It represents love and also rebirth....kinda associated with death/short life... everything about it represents hua Cheng's life, his journey and his goal. He lives for his love and had lived very short life(like butterfly) and gets reborn everytime for his love again. That's why hua Cheng is associated with butterfly
danny getting constantly surprised with this show😭😭 “i wish he’d run on the table” “throwing it is fine too” and “this theme is so calm” “that just got intense” LMAOO
in case youre actually curious, the wind masters "paintbrush" (lmfao) is a horsetail whisk that daoists and buddhists used in ancient china for basically "cleaning" evil desire and ghosts. its a popular weapon in wuxia genre
@@AbisexualCarpenterit is. idrk how to explain but basically it was always used as a dust cleaner and stuff like that, but it was mostly used in monasteries and became a symbol for getting rid of evil. in chinese fantasy stories theyre used as weapons while irl they were commonly cleaning items and a religious symbol kinda
I’m dying at TGCF being called niche. 🤣 Danny. Danny MXTX’s novels are international best sellers. The fandom is massive. You’re just new here! And that’s awesome! ❤️
Lol right? Westerners have no clue how HUGE this fandom is, just because we're new to it ❤. I'm so glad I found it a few months ago. I have to give full credit to Netflix for the intro, now I'm full into all things danmei 😍. TGCF will always be my favorite though. 😍
@@QiRight found this fandom because of Kictor being in my youtube reccomended and Im really happy to know how loved it is means alot of good merch is available T-T and I hardly have that luxury for other fandoms Im in. I hope everything gets animated because it really helped with some things I was confused on in the story
@rye4453 I highly recommend reading the books. They're really good. So far, the donghua is following the books pretty closely. There is also a manhua (Chinese manga) that is *gorgeous*, illustrated by starEMBER. It follows pretty closely, but cuts a few scenes. It's no longer available officially translated into English, because Bilibili decided to stop support for their English website completely at the end of February 😭. StarEMBER is also on hiatus, so the manhua is currently paused close to where the donghua is at. SevenSeas has a good English translation available. You can get paperbacks or e-books.
Also please do Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation someday! It’s from the same author of Heaven Official’s Blessing, but the show has actually fully finished at 3 seasons. It adapts the whole novel series.
I CANT WAIT UNTIL DANNY SEES QI RONG. Like qi Rong was wild in the books, an unhinged psychopath. BUT IN ENGLISH DUB HES A BRITISH UNHINGED PSYCHOPATH. I didn’t think I could love him more than I did when I first read the books but here we go. Also can’t wait for Danny to see Xie Lians past, that’s gonna be a fun one to unpack and process.
Him talking about hua cheng constantly jiggling with every sted he takes is so funny since that's a running joke on the fandom and all the hua cheng cosplayers who can confirm this
Also basically the half-eaten bun in Xie Lian's clothing is pretty normal in Chinese Xianxia (even Wuxia?) It's called 袖中乾坤 which is basically pockets inside the sleeves. It's "bigger on the inside" and taking things out of the sleeves is like player-controlled characters pulling things out of their inventory. So basically, Xie Lian has a half-eaten hard cold bun in his inventory. 😅
If you think the ANIMATION dice scene is pornographic don't even _try_ the audio drama. _Why is there so much gasping._ Oddly I don't consider the dice scene horny so much as tooth-rottingly cute. Guys. You're in public. Hua Cheng's English voice actor is apparently involved with the script, and as a book reader _you can tell._ There's a few little context clues and foreshadowing that might be easy to lose in translation. I'm so, so happy you're watching the dub. Apparently in Chinese Xie Lian _does_ use an innuendo, but in the book he's straightforward so the dub team added it back in. It's a very funny back and forth where the dub team is aggressively adding back in all the gay content censored out in the Hua Cheng scenes.
The dub team and the animators for danmei are doing god's work. Not only do the animators make tiny details that pass the censorship, but they make it so easy. The dubs are amazing additions too!
Xie Lian is such an incredible character because of how kind he is despite all that he's been through. From someone who has read the light novels, I can tell you, Xie Lian has one of the saddest backstories I've ever read. He's gone through so much, even lost himself sometimes and yet he still somehow was able to find himself again and go back to his kind self that he was before.
I find it quite a misnomer that this (and some other heavy danmei) is called a "light novel"! Sellers need to come up with some better categories to put these books in
I'm pretty sure Hua Cheng wears so many accessories because he's so confident he can't be beat, so it doesn't matter if anyone hears him coming 😂 he's such a good character!!
@@brendareynoso3737 if iirc correctly hua cheng had told xie lian some part of the novel that there are enemies that killed themselves even right before he gets close to kill them himself 😭 the moment they heard he's coming for them they decided it's better to be dead now that to die at his hands
It's so funny seeing someone like Danny react to the show without reading the book nor the manga 😂❤ And saying things like "what an unbelievably dark outcome for an otherwise peaceful character" when HE DOESN'T KNOW YET are the moments when I'm dying from laughter Best entertainment, 10/10
I don't normally have "favorite jokes" from your reactions, but 8:44 "just me and a bunch of other dudes who look real good at tapdancing" absolutely slayed me.
@@palemeadows One of his major development points was going from being "nice and polite" as the other person put it, to losing everything to the point where he wasn't anymore. He wasn't nice and polite, he was hateful and vengeful and wanted to see innocents suffer (not exactly kind), and he wasn't exactly polite about it either (his treatment of Wu Ming, also the way he talked with the man with the hat). He lost his kindness after going through suffering, and invalidating that is invalidating the point that he's human and that he failed being kind after being hurt one too many times. One of the arguably most important moments in all 5 books is that turning point for him - one single person showing him kindness when no one else would, not even himself, and remembering the importance of being kind; that being kind is a choice one has to make over and over again, and Xie Lian had forgotten. Which led to him becoming kind and polite _again,_ although differently. Saying he was always like this is taking away the choice he made and remakes every single time; it takes away from one of the main points of tgcf, and it takes away from his grief, and the reason why he is human, and yet still better than Bai Wuxiang. If he was always kind and polite, then there would've never been need of Wu Ming, and hence Xie Lian wouldn't walk around with regret and a cursed shackle locking away his whole luck. Tgcf would be fundamentally different, with a different protagonist and a different moral and a different plot
I genuinely believe the show’s popularity comes from the recent release of the official English translations of the novel. They do what I did, where you watch the first season of the show, try to find out more about it, find out it’s a book series and then binge it all in a few days
The jangly silver pieces Hua Cheng wears were inspired by silver jewellery worn by ethnic minorities in China, if I remember correctly. Goes back to the novel’s author drafting Hua Cheng’s mother as being from an ethnic minority.
there's like 6 donghuas danny all produced by the same animation studio, and only 3 of them actually even gain a bit of attention; which includes heaven official's blessing, they dont really have many other priorities.. also tgcf is amazing read the books king
@@akritianwesha4151 you listed the three that get the attention, but there are other good ones, like there's 'spiritpact' and 'to be hero X' (upcoming, same producer as link click) from a different animation studio there's 'scumbag system' and 'thousand autumns' is also a good one, they're all 3d though, scumbag system is hilarious I'd recommend giving it a try they're the only ones I can think of from the top of my head, there are more of course but I can't really guarantee it being good
HOB IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING, AND A LOT MORE POPULAR THAN YOU THINK IT IS... Also, I think you forgot this show is Chinese, Danny. The openings and vibes are SOOO different from anime, a lot more gentler 😭😭
Yeah the Japanese TGCF actually writes/films new OPs and EDs and some are pretty but some are like... hard rock. It's really jarring TBH--and, why?? when these are so good!
its really refreshing seeing the reaction of someone who does not watch or follow any chinese historical dramas nor does he understand the lore behind a lot of things. I feel like this donghua assumes that the watchers at least read the books or have an idea about chinese myths and lore so it might seem confusing to to you. Seeing your assumptions or reaction is really fun.
I want to know too! I listened to some of the MDZS' audio drama on YT, and after those videos were deleted, I listened to the rest on Mixcloud. I got up to Episode 9 of TGCF because that was the last free episode at the time. I'm hoping that after a few years when the hype has died down a bit, the episodes would be available on different sites like MDZS was.
As a diehard fan of this series, it's so funny to watch you point out obvious things that I've forgotten about. So much of what happens now has complete context from my multiple readings and watchings of the books and show that seeing your perspective is refreshing and fucking hilarious, it's like I get to fall in love with the series all over again through you
Danny you have absolutely NO IDEA how the fandom went when the dice shaking scene shows up😭😭😭 And yea every san lang cosplayer complains about how absolutely loud his clothes are lmao
Omg yesssss thank you for reacting! Not spoilers, just explanation: Also the heavens are not an afterlife. Heaven is mostly the home, offices, and courtroom(also Jun Wu’s throne) of the deities. There you either reincarnate or turn into a ghost/monster. Before Hua Cheng rose to power there wasn’t a good place for such beings to gather, much less in any semblance of safety. He built it and it’s doors open every so often, such as during the ghost festival. And him putting that guy up for auction and intentionally lose(tho also get to hold XL’s hand which usually he wouldn’t dare do) was honestly one of the best ways to get them all out of the situation safely. Also the other deities reaction to XL is because he is a god of misfortune. They fear being cursed or something lol. Also how deities work. They all start off as human(at least that we’ve seen). No matter how powerful or lucky you are, you can’t become one unless chosen by fate. When the time is right you ascend to heaven, now a deity. XL ended up banished, which means their godhood is revoked. XL situation is unique, but most never get to ascend again, and die. Esp as unable to answer prayers, which fuel their stomachs and mana, ppl stop worshiping them. Thus they often become weaker and starve to death, if I remember correctly. By becoming a god they exit the cycle of reincarnation so usually death is it for any deity, fallen or otherwise, tho it is possible to become a ghost instead of disappearing into nothingness. The first season starts with his 3rd ascension. Also Pei Ming, the guy speaking up in the courtroom, is the guy the ghost bride from the first case has a thing for. And the descendant of the one behind the second case who just got banished. Also deities seem to take on the traits their believers deem them to be. Many think WindMaster is a women, thus they can switch genders easily and are more powerful in female form(love that they love it at least. Not the case for all this happens to). Pei Ming is a god of love if I remember correctly lol. XL wasn’t always a god of misfortune…
I will correct you on one thing. I'm pretty sure that Pei Su, the banished god involved in the Banyue incident, is the descendant, seeing as he ascended later than Pei Ming and to a Lower Court.
@@shavagreycastle where did they say Ming is Xiu's descendant? And I'm not talking to you about the ghost ascension (even though that's a thing) I'm talking to op about gods turning into ghosts

@Twinkle06138 but there is a Yuri on ice manga, so like- and sk8 did announce a season 2 but doing an anime takes time and we did say that an OVA will come out of Cherry and Joe be happy
@@Starita_. If I recall correctly, the only Yuri on Ice manga there is is the spinoff manga called “Welcome to the Madness” which leads into that little “OVA” of Yurio performing his exhibition program. Other than that though, the show is an anime original.
Love the amount of stuff Danny is lowkey so close on or explaining in such a funny way. I laughed at the "is ghost city a government sanctioned thing?" Like, no, it's 100% not. But at the same time, it might as well be 19:35 had me dead to rights😂. Also, r.i.p a piece of danny's sanity
About the "thousand cymbals crashing", it is mentioned in the novels a couple of times how you can hear the bells on his boots jingling as he walks, except when he's being stealth.
OH MY GOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! season 2 is amazing!! heaven official's blessing actually has a strong fandom, both in china and globally. a part of me wishes it was more mainstream, but i can't complain about our fandom
I genuinely think it's so popular because of the original novels and the manhua, not because of the donghua. The donghua barely scratches the surface of the plot and characters. The novels are a big undertaking but man are they so worth it.
I knew you would love the intro! I watched season 1 then read the novels and only after watched season 2 and that intro... It was striking, there were scenes in the book that in my head were just on the same art style, I felt somewhat like I had access to a larger shared consciousness 😅 but even without that experience it's still an amazing piece.
Just a quick word about the opening of ghost city... it pops up a lot in these kinds of Chinese stories, but usually these sorts of spiritual places are in a closed off spiritual dimension that only overlaps with the regular world at specific times and places. So you can't just walk into ghost city, not because of any physical or legal reason, but because it's just, kinda not there sometimes. That's also why Xie Lian and Windmaster were waiting for the right time of night to be able to enter.
IM SO HAPPY i’ve been anticipating this since the first couple of episodes released purely because i wanted to see how you’d react to the amount of innuendos that were put into the script also james cheek (who voices hua cheng and wrote the dub for this season) has read most of the books so its a lot better in terms of accuracy and quality
It’s funny because there isn’t a “I can’t wait for him to get to episode X” because there’s A BUNCH of episodes I can’t wait for him to get to Good luck Danny, you’re up for a ride
Okay so I'm watching the reaction and regarding Hua Cheng's character design, the author MXTX made him half Miao/Hmong and they have a very long history of a lot of silver jewelry that jingles when they move. The jewelry is gorgeous for anyone who wants to look it up!
Fun fact San Lang's voice actor wrote the script for this season. (Who also wrote the english script for Link Click season 2) The dub of Heaven Official's Blessing is directed by the voice actor of Victor from Yuri on Ice. Xie Lian is voiced by Langa from Sk8 the Infinity This show/dub is just a huge melting pot of all the gayest shows you have reacted to.
Your reaction to the first season (which I'd seen) inspired me to go read the entire novel. It changed my life. It's so bloody good and I can't wait to watch you experience more.
I love the way you mentioned Xie Lian is polite, confident and competent- youre right! His character is so magnetic to me and its so unexpected and satisfying
I cannot believe he actually is reacting to season 2, can't wait for him to see some more fengqing shenanigans and see them straight up kicking each other's asses since he said he couldn't see these two actually fighting in season 1

I thought it was a fly swatter
Damn I thought it was just an odd feather duster 😂
@@AbisexualCarpenterit is. idrk how to explain but basically it was always used as a dust cleaner and stuff like that, but it was mostly used in monasteries and became a symbol for getting rid of evil. in chinese fantasy stories theyre used as weapons while irl they were commonly cleaning items and a religious symbol kinda
I never understood why it was called a whisk in the novel but it makes more sense now. I only thought of the western cooking utensil
@@partofyourworld3514English isn't my first language so I wasn't sure if whisk had other meanings, I looked it up and was even more confused😭
Danny insulting Xie Lian one moment - "a used napkin" - and loving him in the next - "polite X10" 😂 😭
I’m dying at TGCF being called niche. 🤣
Danny.
Danny MXTX’s novels are international best sellers. The fandom is massive. You’re just new here! And that’s awesome! ❤️
An international cornerstone of fiction.
Lol right? Westerners have no clue how HUGE this fandom is, just because we're new to it ❤.
I'm so glad I found it a few months ago. I have to give full credit to Netflix for the intro, now I'm full into all things danmei 😍. TGCF will always be my favorite though. 😍
@@QiRight found this fandom because of Kictor being in my youtube reccomended and Im really happy to know how loved it is means alot of good merch is available T-T and I hardly have that luxury for other fandoms Im in. I hope everything gets animated because it really helped with some things I was confused on in the story
@rye4453 I highly recommend reading the books. They're really good. So far, the donghua is following the books pretty closely. There is also a manhua (Chinese manga) that is *gorgeous*, illustrated by starEMBER. It follows pretty closely, but cuts a few scenes. It's no longer available officially translated into English, because Bilibili decided to stop support for their English website completely at the end of February 😭. StarEMBER is also on hiatus, so the manhua is currently paused close to where the donghua is at.
SevenSeas has a good English translation available. You can get paperbacks or e-books.
@@QiRight*some westerners
"what an unbelievably dark outcome for an otherwise peaceful character" danny... you don't even know 😭
Also please do Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation someday! It’s from the same author of Heaven Official’s Blessing, but the show has actually fully finished at 3 seasons. It adapts the whole novel series.
Please Danny, here our prayers and do it in 2024 🙏
Yess!! 🙏
I liked it much more than this one too, oddly
There are zombies ,action scenes and sick fights in it...that ought to be tempting
vouch
8:48 😂 "good at tap-dancing" may be my favorite euphemism.
I CANT WAIT UNTIL DANNY SEES QI RONG. Like qi Rong was wild in the books, an unhinged psychopath. BUT IN ENGLISH DUB HES A BRITISH UNHINGED PSYCHOPATH. I didn’t think I could love him more than I did when I first read the books but here we go.
Also can’t wait for Danny to see Xie Lians past, that’s gonna be a fun one to unpack and process.
British?
I need to hear the eng dub but I'm poor T_T
@@saorishawol6561 I normally watch online on websites for that reason!
@@saorishawol6561 9anime, ;)
I saw Chinese dub, but I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS BRITISH IN ENGLISH
@@C-S-D.Same. I'm also watching the subbed. Which is it just me or are the subtitles all whack on crunchyroll for this show?
Him talking about hua cheng constantly jiggling with every sted he takes is so funny since that's a running joke on the fandom and all the hua cheng cosplayers who can confirm this
"(Lang Qianqiu) is dressed like fancy chocolate. He looks like the god of caramel macchiatos. Xie Lian is dressed like a used napkin" 😂😂😂
Also basically the half-eaten bun in Xie Lian's clothing is pretty normal in Chinese Xianxia (even Wuxia?)
It's called 袖中乾坤 which is basically pockets inside the sleeves. It's "bigger on the inside" and taking things out of the sleeves is like player-controlled characters pulling things out of their inventory.
So basically, Xie Lian has a half-eaten hard cold bun in his inventory. 😅
If you think the ANIMATION dice scene is pornographic don't even _try_ the audio drama. _Why is there so much gasping._
Oddly I don't consider the dice scene horny so much as tooth-rottingly cute. Guys. You're in public.
Hua Cheng's English voice actor is apparently involved with the script, and as a book reader _you can tell._ There's a few little context clues and foreshadowing that might be easy to lose in translation. I'm so, so happy you're watching the dub.
Apparently in Chinese Xie Lian _does_ use an innuendo, but in the book he's straightforward so the dub team added it back in. It's a very funny back and forth where the dub team is aggressively adding back in all the gay content censored out in the Hua Cheng scenes.
The English dub doing God's work, as always 😌
The dub team clearly understands the assignment!
The dub team and the animators for danmei are doing god's work.
Not only do the animators make tiny details that pass the censorship, but they make it so easy. The dubs are amazing additions too!
@@tufits Details like the heartbeat and glitter effects? Maybe it's just that it's so abstract it's not worth the censors time?
The dubing team is truly amazing
Xie Lian is such an incredible character because of how kind he is despite all that he's been through. From someone who has read the light novels, I can tell you, Xie Lian has one of the saddest backstories I've ever read. He's gone through so much, even lost himself sometimes and yet he still somehow was able to find himself again and go back to his kind self that he was before.
I find it quite a misnomer that this (and some other heavy danmei) is called a "light novel"! Sellers need to come up with some better categories to put these books in
I'm pretty sure Hua Cheng wears so many accessories because he's so confident he can't be beat, so it doesn't matter if anyone hears him coming 😂 he's such a good character!!
Knowing Hua Cheng, he probably does it on purpose to scare the sh!t out of anyone the moment they hear the bells.
Its actually from his mother culture
Just about everything HC wears has a personal meaning for him. He doesn’t dress just for the drip.
@@brendareynoso3737 if iirc correctly hua cheng had told xie lian some part of the novel that there are enemies that killed themselves even right before he gets close to kill them himself 😭 the moment they heard he's coming for them they decided it's better to be dead now that to die at his hands
" thats cuz your outfit makes you look like one " BELP HELP IM GONNA CRY
i love how danny thinks that xie lian losing an eye would be a dark turn considering.. his actual past LMFAOOO
Honey, he's got a big storm coming
It's so funny seeing someone like Danny react to the show without reading the book nor the manga 😂❤
And saying things like "what an unbelievably dark outcome for an otherwise peaceful character" when HE DOESN'T KNOW YET are the moments when I'm dying from laughter
Best entertainment, 10/10
AS SOON AS I READ THE TITLE AND SAW IT WAS DANNY I ACTUALLY SCREAMED AND STARTING JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN EXCITEMENT, I'M SO EXCITED !!!
I DID THE SAME THING I LITERALLY started laughing like crazy
@@fictionalhana ACTUALLY, I RAN to my mother who I had watch TGCF, which she loved, and started ranting about it(this video)
Same! So grateful they picked this back up!
I literally scared my friend, cause I screamed out of nowhere. Then I had to explain to them why, and then they screamed to.
ME TOO I GOT SO EXCITEDDD!!!!
"What an unbelievably dark outcome for an otherwise peaceful character."
Oh god-
“otherwise peaceful” HAS ME IN STITCHES😂😂😂
the day danny watches grandmaster of demonic cultivation (mo dao zu shi) is the day i will rest in peace
3:27 “unbelievably dark outcome for such an otherwise peaceful character” oh danny…
Oh if only he knew
Going from @kicktor ‘s reactions, with FULL lore awareness, to this is hysterical. Danny, I think you and her would get along great
Danny's fr severely underestimating how widespread/popular this fandom actually is
I don't normally have "favorite jokes" from your reactions, but 8:44 "just me and a bunch of other dudes who look real good at tapdancing" absolutely slayed me.
Xie Lian is only polite because he's been humbled by life too many times after getting angry
Reasonably angry, too
No ? He’s always been kind and polite. The whole reason he is targeted is because of it
@@Dianxiashualian I advise you to read (or re-read) tgcf's book 4 again and the biggest turning point of Xie Lian's character.
@@fangurkseraphi have, he was still nice and polite? just easily lost his temper
@@palemeadows One of his major development points was going from being "nice and polite" as the other person put it, to losing everything to the point where he wasn't anymore. He wasn't nice and polite, he was hateful and vengeful and wanted to see innocents suffer (not exactly kind), and he wasn't exactly polite about it either (his treatment of Wu Ming, also the way he talked with the man with the hat). He lost his kindness after going through suffering, and invalidating that is invalidating the point that he's human and that he failed being kind after being hurt one too many times. One of the arguably most important moments in all 5 books is that turning point for him - one single person showing him kindness when no one else would, not even himself, and remembering the importance of being kind; that being kind is a choice one has to make over and over again, and Xie Lian had forgotten.
Which led to him becoming kind and polite _again,_ although differently.
Saying he was always like this is taking away the choice he made and remakes every single time; it takes away from one of the main points of tgcf, and it takes away from his grief, and the reason why he is human, and yet still better than Bai Wuxiang. If he was always kind and polite, then there would've never been need of Wu Ming, and hence Xie Lian wouldn't walk around with regret and a cursed shackle locking away his whole luck. Tgcf would be fundamentally different, with a different protagonist and a different moral and a different plot
I genuinely believe the show’s popularity comes from the recent release of the official English translations of the novel. They do what I did, where you watch the first season of the show, try to find out more about it, find out it’s a book series and then binge it all in a few days
5:52 ‘’ Holy shit, Xianle may have arrived but I just came!’’ I FREAKING CHOKED WITH MY GATORADE !!! 😂😂😂😂
The jangly silver pieces Hua Cheng wears were inspired by silver jewellery worn by ethnic minorities in China, if I remember correctly. Goes back to the novel’s author drafting Hua Cheng’s mother as being from an ethnic minority.
there's like 6 donghuas danny all produced by the same animation studio, and only 3 of them actually even gain a bit of attention; which includes heaven official's blessing, they dont really have many other priorities.. also tgcf is amazing read the books king
what are the names of those other donguas...aside from TGCF, MDZS and link click
@@akritianwesha4151 you listed the three that get the attention, but there are other good ones, like there's 'spiritpact' and 'to be hero X' (upcoming, same producer as link click)
from a different animation studio there's 'scumbag system' and 'thousand autumns' is also a good one, they're all 3d though, scumbag system is hilarious I'd recommend giving it a try
they're the only ones I can think of from the top of my head, there are more of course but I can't really guarantee it being good
@@Pistachio532 There is a dongua for that ?
I thought it was novel only
there's one season, it's 3d animation tho @@akritianwesha4151
@akritianwesha4151 thousand autumns has a donghua too but the animaltion is 3d style so quiet dofferent from tgcf and mdzs
3:35 yeah really peaceful character, absolutely no angst what so ever idk what you mean
(LMAO I just finished re-reading book 6)
Literally my thoughts, I just finished reading book 6 like two days ago...I love this series so muchh
I cried so much during book six don't remind me
Ah.. the book that wretched me....
Danny's reactions to the dice scenes very apparently teeming with innuendos had me rolling 😭
“I’m afraid it’s gotten a bit ✨~hard~✨”
LQQ being the god of caramel macchiatos made a bunch of fic authors sprint for their WIPs
HOB IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING, AND A LOT MORE POPULAR THAN YOU THINK IT IS...
Also, I think you forgot this show is Chinese, Danny. The openings and vibes are SOOO different from anime, a lot more gentler 😭😭
Fre donghuas are always 10x calmer in their openings no matter how crazy the story is
Yeah the Japanese TGCF actually writes/films new OPs and EDs and some are pretty but some are like... hard rock. It's really jarring TBH--and, why?? when these are so good!
@@LtTawnyMadison Omg they do?? I never knew.... very strange, I like these ops and eds
its really refreshing seeing the reaction of someone who does not watch or follow any chinese historical dramas nor does he understand the lore behind a lot of things. I feel like this donghua assumes that the watchers at least read the books or have an idea about chinese myths and lore so it might seem confusing to to you. Seeing your assumptions or reaction is really fun.
18:40
I want Danny to react to the Audio Drama version of this 😂 XieLian heavily breathing as he shakes the dice
Any tips where i can find the audio drama?
@@Angelika5378 I have to know
I want to know too! I listened to some of the MDZS' audio drama on YT, and after those videos were deleted, I listened to the rest on Mixcloud. I got up to Episode 9 of TGCF because that was the last free episode at the time. I'm hoping that after a few years when the hype has died down a bit, the episodes would be available on different sites like MDZS was.
I dont think its that xie lian is incredibly confident, he just doesn't know whether to laugh or cry
As a diehard fan of this series, it's so funny to watch you point out obvious things that I've forgotten about. So much of what happens now has complete context from my multiple readings and watchings of the books and show that seeing your perspective is refreshing and fucking hilarious, it's like I get to fall in love with the series all over again through you
Danny you have no idea how big this fandom is or how crazy things get in the story, and I’m so excited for you.
NO WAY DANNY IS FINALLY WATCHING SEASON 2!
5:55 his reaction to Jun Wu was wild!!!😂😂
Just you wait Danny....
Danny you have absolutely NO IDEA how the fandom went when the dice shaking scene shows up😭😭😭
And yea every san lang cosplayer complains about how absolutely loud his clothes are lmao
Omg yesssss thank you for reacting! Not spoilers, just explanation: Also the heavens are not an afterlife. Heaven is mostly the home, offices, and courtroom(also Jun Wu’s throne) of the deities. There you either reincarnate or turn into a ghost/monster. Before Hua Cheng rose to power there wasn’t a good place for such beings to gather, much less in any semblance of safety. He built it and it’s doors open every so often, such as during the ghost festival. And him putting that guy up for auction and intentionally lose(tho also get to hold XL’s hand which usually he wouldn’t dare do) was honestly one of the best ways to get them all out of the situation safely. Also the other deities reaction to XL is because he is a god of misfortune. They fear being cursed or something lol.
Also how deities work. They all start off as human(at least that we’ve seen). No matter how powerful or lucky you are, you can’t become one unless chosen by fate. When the time is right you ascend to heaven, now a deity. XL ended up banished, which means their godhood is revoked. XL situation is unique, but most never get to ascend again, and die. Esp as unable to answer prayers, which fuel their stomachs and mana, ppl stop worshiping them. Thus they often become weaker and starve to death, if I remember correctly. By becoming a god they exit the cycle of reincarnation so usually death is it for any deity, fallen or otherwise, tho it is possible to become a ghost instead of disappearing into nothingness. The first season starts with his 3rd ascension.
Also Pei Ming, the guy speaking up in the courtroom, is the guy the ghost bride from the first case has a thing for. And the descendant of the one behind the second case who just got banished.
Also deities seem to take on the traits their believers deem them to be. Many think WindMaster is a women, thus they can switch genders easily and are more powerful in female form(love that they love it at least. Not the case for all this happens to). Pei Ming is a god of love if I remember correctly lol. XL wasn’t always a god of misfortune…
I will correct you on one thing. I'm pretty sure that Pei Su, the banished god involved in the Banyue incident, is the descendant, seeing as he ascended later than Pei Ming and to a Lower Court.
Wasnt that what they said @@shavagreycastle
Isnt a god becoming a ghost spoilers? We dont see an example of that till WAY at the end, no?
@Quinton_ovo_ wait, no. They said that pei ming was pei su's descendant. And I didn't say anything about ghosts ascending. Pei su isn't a ghost.
@@shavagreycastle where did they say Ming is Xiu's descendant? And I'm not talking to you about the ghost ascension (even though that's a thing) I'm talking to op about gods turning into ghosts

U HAVE INDEED UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER OF CHINESE DANMEI
About the "thousand cymbals crashing", it is mentioned in the novels a couple of times how you can hear the bells on his boots jingling as he walks, except when he's being stealth.
OH MY GOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! season 2 is amazing!! heaven official's blessing actually has a strong fandom, both in china and globally. a part of me wishes it was more mainstream, but i can't complain about our fandom
I genuinely think it's so popular because of the original novels and the manhua, not because of the donghua. The donghua barely scratches the surface of the plot and characters. The novels are a big undertaking but man are they so worth it.

I knew you would love the intro! I watched season 1 then read the novels and only after watched season 2 and that intro... It was striking, there were scenes in the book that in my head were just on the same art style, I felt somewhat like I had access to a larger shared consciousness 😅 but even without that experience it's still an amazing piece.
22:12 Danny's face speaks for itself 😂 The dub team really did not hold back with the innuendos
Just a quick word about the opening of ghost city... it pops up a lot in these kinds of Chinese stories, but usually these sorts of spiritual places are in a closed off spiritual dimension that only overlaps with the regular world at specific times and places. So you can't just walk into ghost city, not because of any physical or legal reason, but because it's just, kinda not there sometimes. That's also why Xie Lian and Windmaster were waiting for the right time of night to be able to enter.
21:47 Danny just thinking of his dad seeing this while trying to get through another sexual joke lmao
10:46 “Are you tryna out this dude in the middle of the street?” 😂😂😂
IM SO HAPPY
i’ve been anticipating this since the first couple of episodes released purely because i wanted to see how you’d react to the amount of innuendos that were put into the script also james cheek (who voices hua cheng and wrote the dub for this season) has read most of the books so its a lot better in terms of accuracy and quality
It’s funny because there isn’t a “I can’t wait for him to get to episode X” because there’s A BUNCH of episodes I can’t wait for him to get to
Good luck Danny, you’re up for a ride
His reaction to Jun Wu was my reaction to Jun Wu, and I've finished the novel so I KNOW.
Okay so I'm watching the reaction and regarding Hua Cheng's character design, the author MXTX made him half Miao/Hmong and they have a very long history of a lot of silver jewelry that jingles when they move. The jewelry is gorgeous for anyone who wants to look it up!
Danny’s father watching his videos is so wholesome while the most terrifying thing at the same time

Fun fact San Lang's voice actor wrote the script for this season. (Who also wrote the english script for Link Click season 2)
The dub of Heaven Official's Blessing is directed by the voice actor of Victor from Yuri on Ice.
