After going out for late-night drinks, Yan Yuechu and his colleague Hu Zhi find refuge from the rain in a rather unusual place: the building harboring Xu Aiyou's escape game, XY. Despite the game's infamy and its mysterious owner, the duo decides to give it a try. With one hour to solve riddles and find their way out of a maze of eerie rooms, Yan Yuechu and Hu Zhi manage to clear the game in time. However, glimpses of what appears to be Xu Aiyou's troubled past scattered throughout the game leave a deep impression on the men—an impression so lasting that vivid scenes from new escape games creep into their dreams.
The following day, Yan Yuechu receives a letter advising him to stay away from escape games. Although he does not receive conclusive answers from Xu Aiyou, he dreams once more that he must solve a puzzle to escape from his own bedroom. But was it truly a dream? Unsure where reality ends and illusions begin, Yan Yuechu will have to uncover the truth behind XY if he wishes to preserve his sanity.

I previously gave a preliminary review after 6 episodes, giving it a 9 and calling it a must watch unless they screw up the ending. I'm going to downgrade it to an 8, which is still a high recommendation. Aiyou de Mishi has an incredibly strong start, and does so much to build atmosphere and tension that it just draws you in. Watch the first episode, and you won't be able to escape. There's something odd about the escape room that Yuechu and his coworker try out. There's rumors of people becoming obsessed and getting dreams about the escape room or the beautiful owner Aiyou. Aiyou usesa spooky salutation for all the leaving customers: "I will never let you go"
It's a thriller where it's probably best to not spoil anything. Like Link Click, Aiyou de Mishi or X&Y likes to end episodes on cliffhangers. The primary draw of this show is the mystery, so you'll have a different experience if you are watching the simulcast with everyone else. You (the audience) look for clues to understand what's going on. Unlike Link Click, there isn't much of any B plot, and it doesn't evoke many emotions beyond that of mystery.
It does a good job using atmosphere to create tension. The direction is near flawless. Everything (the cinematography, audio, pacing, transitions) comes together to generate the mood.
The animation is good. Backgrounds are lush and detailed. Lighting is used effectively. There aren't really heavy action scenes to animate, so there isn't any really spectacular sakuga, but the scenes are all set nicely.
The OP has outstanding visuals and music which really set the mood of the show. The ED is also great. It's hard to express just how well they mesh with the show.
The ending wasn't as strong as I would have liked. But the journey was good.

An excellent combination of well executed plot and fantastic animation – That is how I would like to describe this anime. Animes like ‘Aiyou de mi shi’ are just proving the fact that Chinese animes are getting better at an astonishing pace. Plot(8/10): The plot of this anime centers around a mysterious woman and the escape room which she owns. And as male lead we have a relatively normal guy, who is not that normal (Big twist at the end) . As a mystery show it ticks almost all the boxes. It had good pacing, several interesting characters combined with great direction. Some ofthe scenes really justified the suspense tag it has. The initial phase got me hooked easily and made me watch the whole show. Though we barely discover what happened throughout those days and what was the motive behind it, the story is still intriguing until the point it covers from the source material.
Animation,Audio(9.5/10): Probably the best part of the show. Background art was outstanding, character designs were also great. I read some chapters of the source material afterwards and compared it with the anime. I was genuinely shocked to see how much the anime improved the art. Great job done by the studio.The backround music and sounds were good as well. It was able to create the vibe needed for the situations. It has an ending song which was also not bad .
Overall (8.5/10): Out of the few Chinese animes I have watched so far ,‘Aiyou de mi shi’ stands out as one of the best among them in terms of quality of the story and animation. The story stops at a crucial point and it definitely deserves a second season. It hasn’t got even half of the recognition it deserves , probably because it’s a Chinese anime . If you are not bothered by the language, you should definitely watch this. Highly recommended.

This was honestly beyond my expectations! Starting off with it being a donghua adaptation, the animation style and the cgi was fairly impressive! What caught me most is still how the story proceeded with lots of twists while giving us character development as much as possible. I loved how the story proceeded with the starting episode. It basically was the best way to grab people's attention with the escape room theme. As much as once could piece the story together, the ending still caught me hanging and wanting for more. There were definitely a couple of loose ends throughout but honestly it feels like theywere kept in purpose to enthrall the user experience and keep them wanting for more. I do feel a couple of scenes were exaggerated however it didn't fail its purpose and I liked that it made me think.
It was a great watch altogether! Binge-worthy!

I would have give it a 9 almost, but the story isn't finished yet, we want to know more about the story and what actually happened on the past. As i finished it, I can feel questions were given but they didn't answer any. But why am I still recommending it? Because-- ART: Chinese anime and their animations are always eye-catching for me. SONGS: It's peak, the bgm, the intro, the outro--- especially the last episode's outro is my favorite. The intro is soooo soothing to watch and the music is the cherry on top. Honestly, it added so much to this anime. I never skippedit's intro.
THRILL: Instead of the main story, the escape rooms are more enjoyable and will pique your interest, since it occur very randomly, even you will also feel that you are trapped and you need to escape to breathe.
CHARACTER DESIGN: I loved it, it's not very exaggerated, simple and matches the vibe of the character, especially Xu Aiyu's dress and hairstyle is amazing. Yan's hair mark is also makes him stylish. The development---well, Aiyu's one is great, so is Hu Zhu's one. I loved how Yan's is always calm when it's about solving an escape room but in the last episode, he was panicking and screaming.
Now, why 8? Because it threw lots of questions to the audience but they themselves didn't solve it and now I don't think there will be a s2 since it's been a long time it was released. Overall, if you enjoy the idea of escape rooms and a story evolving it, please watch this.
