Six thousand years ago, mankind's glorious reign ended as a result of an invasion of the demon race, brought about by the emergence of 72 demon gods. To safeguard the remnants of humanity, the Alliance of Temples appeared to stop the demons' progress and temporarily stabilize the situation.
At present, nine-year-old Long Hao Chen is training to become a part of the Knight Temple Hall. Through sheer dedication and the support of his companions, he passes the knight exam. Now, under the tutelage of his teacher Long Xing Yu, Long Hao Chen endures the Holy Resurrection Ritual to ascertain his capability. The ritual reveals that Long Hao Chen is a Son of Light—an individual who possesses a vast amount of spiritual energy.
Recognizing his disciple's promising potential, Long Xing Yu urges Long Hao Chen to become a strong knight capable of defeating the Demon Lord alongside him. With countless challenges awaiting him, Long Hao Chen may be the warrior that can end the era of darkness.

This show is amazing! Great fight scenes, interesting characters, and stunning art. Highly recommend if you like progression fantasy with magic and action. There are a lot of similarities to Soul Land too, so if you are looking for a show like Soul Land, Throne of Seal is a great choice. Plot overview (no spoilers): A boy, Haochen, becomes a magic knight to protect his loved ones from demons. There is a hard magic system with defined levels, and the higher the level, the stronger the knight. Haochen trains to become stronger to end the millennia-long fight against the demons. Characters: Haochen is a really likeable MC.He is very nice to his friends and family, and hardworking. Sometimes he has trouble controlling his emotions, though, and he can lose control. The female lead, Cai'er, is one of my favorite women. She has a tragic story that you need to watch! Other characters are also good, like Li Xin and Ye Hua.
Art: 3D style, very similar to Soul Land. The fight scenes flow very nicely and use vivid colors, making for peak entertainment.
Music: The opening is pretty good, and so is the rest of the soundtrack.

I never like over-powered MC I never like clichè I never like “perfect MC”( caring, intelligent, hard-working…) BUT this ONA has everything of these (and also much more…) and it is truly interesting and endearing. The story is simple: it’s a linear adventure/fantasy but so well done, that everything is in the right spot at the right moment. If you search for incredibile and spectacular twists (sometimes nonsense twists, which has no reason to exist…) Shen Yin Wangzuo isn’t for you. But it has a very solid base. Has it cliché? Yes, there are a lots, but they are very well thought, so thestory go on in a smooth way.
Art is good! I saw other 3d ona/anime but everytime I found something off… mouth with too wide teeth, strange landascape, chaotic scenes. There are some errors (like hairs which don’t move in air or water, but every ona I see so far has this problem) but it is beautiful to see and it shows a lot of fascinating and colorful scenes: there are no difficulties to understand what is happening. Fight scenes are the best
Music also is good: it gives me more strong emotions to every events (in particular romantic and fight scenes)
There also decent comic relief (in the second par of the ona) and fascinating romantic moments; the lasts are sometimes very sweet althought maybe a little too forced but I think they’ll receive better development and reason to be later on
I absolutely LOVE the psychological insight of the characters. The many facets of the mc ( a perfect mc) make him more complex than it apperars; in particular the supporting characters have their own psycological story and many questions to answer, so there is always a good development of everyone.
My only displeasure is about the time lenght of every episode: at the beginning they are about 20 minutes long, but at the end only 15…. too short. (And for me every episode seem to last only 5 because I’m so wrapped up in the plot, that they seem to be shorter)
Now I’m going to start the second season

Reasonably good. Sometimes the story has these moments where I feel like I should bring my 5 year old sister to watch the show instead. But if you don't mind watching some My Little Pony type moments every now and then, you will probably enjoy this. Consistent visuals & a reasonably enjoyable artstyle. But often the high contrast color scheme feels out of place. Bright red / pink hairstyles. Pink/rainbow color horses. Everything pops out a little too much for my tastes. Also environments are often very flat & lack details in textures & debris, furniture, trees etc. - Story revolves around a humans vs demons premise, wherethe war has been at a deadlock for 6000 years. It's overall well told, abilities, strength, character thoughts are all expressed well. And the show pacing is very good.
However I personally find that often the show feels too contradictory between characters & world lore:
There are several virtues that the knights are trying to uphold. "Compassion, honesty, bravery, fairness...", yet the people who receive screen time are always bickering and fighting like toddlers, adults included. There are moments where some bystanders even mentioned a knight freezing people around her during a fight. Another time some temple officials overlooked a murder attempt. They seemingly can also fight in the middle of busy towns for some reason. One of the central adult characters for this season was even willing to beat up a child in a fit of rage because the child gave him praise.
The characters are all mentally unstable & it's never explained that the knights would be corrupt or anything. I can only assume it's a narrative conflict.
-
For the most part I enjoy fights & I actually could tell how most skills used between different disciplines were consistent with their class. It didn't feel like everyone had developed completely unique skills, it was consistent with lore. None of the fights thus far were that over the top, usually they were very simple trading of blows. You attack. I block.
-
Putting aside the conflict between how you'd expect this society to work & how it actually seems to work, I genuinely don't have anything negative to say. It's a pretty good show.

The world of Throne of Seal is that of demons and demon hunters; Groups of 6 strong hunters chosen by the Alliance of Temples fight against the demon lord and his 72 pillars. The parties consist of an assassin, mage, summoner, warrior, priest and a knight - They are chosen to fight against the invading demon army's pillar and the demon lord. Long Haochen is a knight-to-be candidate who stays in the remote outskirts of Odin City while training frivolously to become a knight and protect his sick mother. He has a chance encounter with an interesting girl who kickstarts the beginning of his journeyto being a knight.
Story & Characters:
The plot of Throne of Seal is a very simple one that takes a lot of typical wuxia elements like cultivation and martial arts and mashes it up with medieval style MMORPG elements. Unlike the usual martial arts story, Throne of Seal foregoes lazy character development where a side character clings to MC inciting drama and delaying the main storyline. Instead, the Throne of Seal unravels in a way where the world opens up more as Haochen grows and as a result more chance encounters with key characters occur. This way the storyline feels delineated yet natural where the character interactions feel more organic and not hasty. Another aspect where wuxia stories tend to fall apart especially in longer duration is through its pacing - Stories that are too fast or slow paced have their negatives but Throne of Seals has just enough progression that it doesn't dwell too long or speed up when it comes to pacing. Each arc in the first season of Throne of Seal has its own importance and they work together seamlessly; Even the time skips are used in training arcs to skip a lot of unnecessary filler content. I enjoyed the comedy dynamic between characters it breaks the tension at the right moment preventing a dragged out mood during scenes which a lot of donghua make use of. Overall, the characters and story are well adapted and I expect no less from the works of Tangjia San Shao.
Art & Sound:
Art and animation style are leagues above other series released in the same time period; Throne of Seal's CGI feels very high budget because the visual fidelity and particle/environmental density. The setting of many scenes feel picturesque and realistic due to the use of shading, shaping of light, atmospheric ambience through leaves, snow etc. This helps to make the viewing experience as immersive as possible without being gimmicky. Though the characters are still animated through key frames instead of motion capture the slow or minimal movement when speaking and moving during dialogue make it a lot more convincing of mo-cap animation. Donghua tend to also enjoy hair physics and this series is no exception, Throne of Seal pays attention to a lot of character hair physics and it's great to see the level of detail when watching movement in characters. In terms of what I didn't enjoy about art and animation, during action scenes in Throne of Seals we see that the shots are fast paced and in between these shots there is always slow motion typically used in close up shots. They break the sense of immersion and urgency in action scenes and I personally am not a fan when it's used in this series.
The sound design when it comes to music choice and sound effects are fairly high quality and suitable for the mood; The voice acting is also very decent quality. There aren't any monotone characters in this series and instead the characters are very expressive especially when it comes to comedy like Cai'er and her assassin squad antics.
Enjoyment and Overall:
This season was enjoyable to watch and didn't need me to think too much about cultivation system, different worlds or character conflict. It has a natural and easy to follow story and characters so that makes it a lot better to watch in longer sessions compared to other donghua. I don't really enjoy the extras/explanation scenes at the end but I do appreciate that they omit these scenes from the actual story to save on pacing and unnecessary content.
