'A Will Eternal' Anime Review

A donghua or a chinese anime. If you have not watched donghua before, its nothing but just a regular anime, produced from china. Except from the music,language, cultural difference shown in anime, everything is same. Artworks differ from artists to artists but also yeah you can expect that.


Summary


A Will Eternal (Chinese name: Yi Nian Yeng Hong, a donghua, is a story of a young boy, Bai Xiaochun, who has fear of death and desire to live forever, thus the name "A Will Eternal". The story starts with the boy trying to summon the immortal with the incense sticks left behind by his parents for his wish to be a immortal. He is obsessed to be a immortal after his parents passed away and his fear of death. After spending three years not being able to summon the immortal due to fear of being struck by lightening at the top of Mount Hood, he finally manages to meet with Li Qinghou. Li Qinghou brings him to Spirit Stream Sect and arranges for him to work in The Ovens. Bai Xiaochun initially being disgruntled of having to work as a cook for the sect, he is quickly convinced. And similarly, the story continues with his daily life in sect and adventures with different missions.


What you can expect?


First of all, as you can know from the summary that the main character is pretty much a coward. Even in the story there are many times when he shamelessly avoids conflicts and competetions and just be able to pass through due to his desire of being immortal and avoid his death or loss. So, you will not be able to see much action all the time. But, the plot forces the main character in such a condition where he will fight. And the condition is when his comrades, friends are endangered. Obviously, as he fears the death, he would just try to escape  if he was alone but he can't leave his friends alone being endangered even when he fears death more than anyone. Moreover, main character is pretty much powerful and smart. And he continues to become more powerful and knowledgeable throught the story. Due to his faster learning and memorizing ability he learns everything in a faster rate. And the most important thing, although every donghua has this awesomeness, its animation is completely awesome.


Conclusion


The story is not much action packed. But when the action is on, it is awesome. You must at least watch some episodes to be able to feel the series, if you are confused if you want to continue or not. Believe me, it will be worth watching it.


Hope I explained the story by not spoiling anything for those who haven't watched the anime yet, and for those who have already watched it or are watching, cheers mate, it was a nice anime series and we can always discuss about it maybe in the comments? And if you writing about the story that may spoil please add a spoiler alert in the top.
