Link click is arguably the one of the most unexpected shows Ive come across. Chinese anime has been on the rise in past 34 years with a lot of shows coming out ranging from esports focused The Kings Avatar https://anilist.co/anime/98861/QuanzhiGaoshou/ to historical wuxia like Modao Zushihttps://anilist.co/anime/101972/ModaoZushi/ while quite a few of them were pretty solid on their own they all lacked that one element that could make them truly stand along with the topnotch japanese anime. Link click while in no means a perfect show but the first 5 episodes are one of the closest thing to that Ive seen. The plot itself is not much complex at all. Simply if you read from the synopsis its about a couple of dudes AND THERE IS NO BL who can go inside photos at the time when it was taken. Now that sounds like any classical time manipulation show but what truly makes this one stand out is the really unexpected emotional element The show itself is mostly episodic where the main duo or trio you can say take requests from customers and go back in the photos to help them in various ways i wont go into detail as to what kind of assignments they get or what the constraints of their power is because that will definitely spoil some of the fun but you can be rest assured that the best part of this show lies in its simplicity yet making the most out of it. Not to mention the cliffhanger at the end of almost every episode combined with the ed that drops hard af makes you watch the next episode really hard. What Link Click actually has that makes it so beautiful to watch is the soul you can actually see the passion of the screenwriters and showmakers that went through writing all those stories for the episodes. Each story tells about a different person and their life and what they went through while at the same time it doesnt completely turns into a tearforcer but instead leaves a lot of the emotional elements for the viewers to take as they desire and doesnt lose focus on its thriller/mystery element. As I said before the first 5 episodes clearly blew me out when i started watching i it was just on whim and wasnt even expecting to go past 2 or 3 episodes but the hooking element of the show is really not to be underestimated. The show does take a dip after episode 5.5 and the arc after that is not as solid as previous one but the final closing arc specially the final episode is great that not only wraps everything up in a good emotional way but also has a little something at the end which pretty much confirms a 2nd season. The bgm is really nice and keeps the continuity of themes of the show and both op and ed is great. Specially the ed clearly syncs with those cliffhangers at the end of each episodes. Visuals arent extravagant but as the show isnt action focused they turn out to be pretty nice and handfighting and martial arts scenes are done pretty well as a matter of fact. Overall if youre even a little bit into mystery/thriller genre then i will say this is a must watch. Highly recommended and even more so if youre into actual soulful shows.
