Chinese anime feels very challenging to watch for me.

I'm not sure if there's a larger culture of "and the things happened outside the show, fans will know what's up, because they watch more than just the show" or it's just culturally accepted to run a little looser/faster in the content.

There's also strong tendencies to weave in Chinese history and culture plot points or references that just continue to miss me.

BUT - I do enjoy that they tend to go _hard_ on universe building and story intensity. Everything is always epic.

Lord of Mysteries so far is an -amazing- mysticism story with strong Lovecraftian elements. Would love to see more like it. Live action would be absolutely wild.
