The Founder of Diabolism is an anime I actually watched with my mother. There is also a chinese series about this anime Ill just call it anime dont judge which is already completed. It is the first chinese anime I watched I think. 220https://i.pin.com/originals/cf/06/19/cf0619f5381f328577d0e57eb4bff539.gif Here a pic from the series. Lets exorcist some demons from your minds shall we? Eventhough its a bit sarcastic when I say that we should exorcist some demons xP. Anyways Ill begin with my review now: 1. Story The Founder of Diabolism is a very hard to explain anime... The story can be devided into the main story and the story about the past. While watching the anime the timeline always changes back and forth which is very irritating at first. The only difference at least it was the one which helped me the most was the way how the main character Wuxian Wei tied his hair. Here some examples: 220https://m.mediaamazon.com/images/I/61FMuYlDrqL.ACSY879.jpg his hair is tied in this picture. It is for the timeline which takes place now. 220https://media.karousell.com/media/photos/products/2018/10/15/weiwuxianyilinglaozumodaozushicosplay153956525863d3b274progressive.jpg In this picture his hair is open. It means we are in the past now. The whole story starts in the present time and the setting is being told how an evil spirit takes over people. Wuxian is playing a character with madness. I personally think it was really hard to get in the story because when I watched it I didnt know what the hell the characters are talking about and what actually was going on. The time change factor was really confusing too. This could have been done much better. When I got used to it the second problem was the names. It was really hard for me to remember the names of each person Im personally not good in remembering names too that is why it was even harder for me to get into the story. 220https://i.pin.com/originals/f7/6c/ca/f76cca1e1d8e1a6c6b808e21a95a77f8.gif 2. Characters The characters in The Founder of Diabolism are really detailed and very interesting. As I watched the anime the further it got the more interesting it was for me to watch them. It is one of the less anime I actually watched in one go. Backgroundstories of the characters are being told in the time change to the past and you get a glimps why the characters changed that much during the time and how they changed. I really liked the drawing style of the characters but one point I didnt really like is that the characters are looking much alike. Especially the side characters are not as easy to say who is who. The similarity in clothes didnt make it easier. 220https://dg31sz3gwrwan.cloudfront.net/fanart/341295/13283580q80.jpg 3. Art / Animation / Soundtracks As I already said in 2 the characters are very much alike but I think the art is very smooth and give the character a more noble touch. It was really enjoyable to watch them. Each move the character did was like they are floating very elegant. 220https://64.media.tumblr.com/1ca223b8c726ab212d7c713f794730a6/cfec7bab5a6cbe0f30/s500x750/8a535131ce598f98c08fd398734584cdd68a3386.gifv I really liked the soundtracks of this anime too. The flute really suited the style of the anime and gave me a warm feeling. Also this is my first anime where I listened to the opening very often because I like it. https://www..com/watch?v=X0I0nf2eoK8 I really liked how the voice actors were chosen too. They performed the characters attributed very well and it really was fun to watch. 4. Conclusion Besides of some issues I had I really liked this anime. Im currently waiting for the release of season 3. It is a nice peace of art the studio created. Big story behind the anime and nice voice actors. It made me laugh a lot too but it had its sad sides underlined as well. I loved the smoothness of this anime that is why I will give a 9/10 for it. The 1 point I chose to throw away because it gave me a hard time to find into the story at first. 220https://64.media.tumblr.com/79007c06fcda4ba9f6760170887350da/3cd3e6e90c32f73f45/s540x810/a9cb568b9bded4f8c7db63d37d6240cff9dfd55c.gifv
