When university student Zhang Chulan returns to his home village, he is devastated to learn that his grandfather Zhang Xilin's grave has been desecrated. As he investigates the cemetery in search for clues, he is attacked by a tomb raider using the false identity of Zhang Xilin's granddaughter. Left to die in a swarm of zombies summoned by the person who spirited his grandfather's body away, Zhang Chulan manages to escape thanks to qi, the power that his grandfather taught him. When Zhang Chulan returns to his uneventful student life, he is shocked to again meet the tomb raider, Feng Baobao, who condemned him to a grim fate. Affiliated with a state organization tasked with handling outcasts known as qi wielders, Baobao forces him to join a delivery company that acts as a front for their true pursuits. As various factions clash to seize the mysterious power Zhang Chulan is said to have inherited from his grandfather, the young man must learn how to choose his allies if he wants to survive in this dangerous world of outcasts.

okai so i skimmed though most of the reviews and was mostly disappointed to see them because they hardly did justice to it. First of all..This season of the anime was more of a setup and introduction rather than the main part.And it has done its job wonderfully.I would like to recommend action fantasy lovers to give this a try at least . Story build up and background is pretty good and animation and action is cool , brought back memories really. The feel of classic like yu yu hakusho n flame of rekka etc mixing up with modernanimation was a treat and i guarantee you will be looking forward to the next season [if they are going to make any] for sure.

Ok. The first you must know is that the original Chinese version is a lot better. The main reason is its uncut and uncensored. There is also the small aspects like accent that comes into play that help people understand the region they are in. But most importantly there are keys scenes that the Japanese miss out. The story starts and develops in an abrupt manner, with a grave robbing which introduces us to our two main characters Zhang Chouran and Fang Baobao who have a weird chemistry and relationship. Both of each work quite well as individual characters. The story is convoluted in the sense theplot and the story slowly unravels itself from grave robbing to the world of Chinese martial arts and secret societies and its many secrets and unexplained mysteries. Both dubs do a good job in bringing the characters alive, but as I mentioned there are nuances that the Japanese could not translate or adapt to. The story also is lacking in the Japanese version, I assume because they had to air it they had to remove the blood and gore, there are also some key fight scenes that are noticeably missing from the Japanese version that are relevant to the last few episodes of this season, but also some other key scenes in the final episode. Art is anime but with distinct Chinese art style that you won't find in anime or manga, noticeably its the facial animations and features that appear. The fights are also well done, not great, but to par. The cut scenes I mentioned are worth seeing mainly cause they show as side of Baobao that you would never see otherwise, and it will bring you to understand her character more. Sound, now this is were there is a noticeable difference, one is that the Chinese voices sometimes can be drowned out by the background sound or music. Where as the Japanese dub comes out clear at every turn. The background noises you will notice in the Chinese dub are lacking consistency and quality. for example the sound for pouring a drink or a syringe falling to the floor don't match expectations. The one noticeable difference is that the final episode in the Chinese version is based in Guangzhou, where the dialect is predominantly Cantonese. Which is different from the Mandarin that is present in every episode. The Cantonese dub was well done and gave the characters present their uniqueness. For those who grew up in Hong Kong, there are probably a few familiar voices in the dub, and also there are some local culture references like a canto pop singers name and song, giving us a timeline. To be honest just this alone is worth a watch but the fact its a Baobao key scene makes it a must watch if you love Baobao's character. The opening music and ending music for both is different. Chinese is more folk song before rock enters. and Japanese is usual Japanese opening style. I personally have held back from watching this, due to the fact no one bothered to sub the Chinese version. I eventually gave in, and just watched the Chinese version one episode at a time and than watched the Japanese episode after to see if I understood the context of it. This is one of the reasons I noticed the differences right away. But I reckon this is a way to enjoy both versions. The new and unfamiliar Chinese voice acting. And than the familiar voices of Japanese voice actors. I also appreciate the fact the Japanese dubbed one of the folk songs that appears in the anime. I would recommend you to give it a try. Chinese animation still has its rawness to it, but its interesting to see it improve over time. Also at the end of the last episode for the original Chinese dub was an advert for a new Chinese anime similar to dead man wonderland but different. Now if only someone can tell me what it is.

Rumor has it that they use Hitori no Shita: The Outcast to torture prisoners. And from time to time masochists watch it on lonely nights too. Story 3/10 The creators either tried too hard to make something complex out of poor ideas or they came up with an idea that was so complex they failed to materialize it. Hitori no Shita is definitely not an anime you die waiting for a new episode every week, but you do die waiting for something interesting to happen while watching it. Art & Animation 2/10 Fine backgrounds, reason why it's 2/10 and not 1/10. The animation is so awkward even the movements of themouths and eyes are weird and off. It doesn't even look like a group of people put any effort into it, the lack of fluidity is so visible it hurts. Maybe it's the very first project of a brand new studio and I'm just being mean. Sound 7/10 The OP and ED are probably the best parts of this show (even the animation); if you're not interested in watching the anime, watch the OP&amp;ED separately and consider you've seen enough of Hitori no Shita. The background music is also fine, but then again it's background music. What can go wrong.. Character 2/10 Given how many relatives of the two MCs are involved here, you can just divide them into XUs and ZHANGs. And that's pretty much about it. Overall 4/10 --Thank you--

I just read some reviews and I'm disappointing, but is your free opinion of course... At first it seems an ordinary anime zombie, but IS NOT ... the story changes completely as they pass episodes (I say no more for spoilers avoid ) ... I say after seeing all the anime and hope you have a 2nd season because it has been in the best part of the plot. It is the anime that most surprised me this season: D I give it an 8 for this season, pending the second season that will rise this score ;) I'm writing this because if someone is thinking towatch this anime or not, you need to try because will change your opinion in each episode. I just will said the anime have accion, drama, magic and a dark history that you will put in front of your monitor until you finish this anime :D I hope a 2a season :D Enjoy it, like I did ;)

People are giving this show much more credit than it deserves. The title of the anime is spot on tho, Hitori no shit. I don't usually get triggered by anime, but this is a new low. We follow in the footsteps of a "virgin" Chou Soran a heir to some powerful family. One sudden day the grave of his grandfather is pillaged and he has to find out why. On his way to his dear grandfathers grave, he finds goku, no wait i mean Fuu Houhou. Fuu just like Soran, are supernatural humans who can freely control their Ki and use Martial arts as their weapons,called outsiders. In a world filled with people like them Soran is extremely special and is headhunted by many evil organizations, but fret not, during the story you will find out why, but not really :) This anime is trying to be something original and to follow the whole martial arts ki-superpower thing to an extent that it's just horrid. What could have been key-parts of this anime ended up as dull battles with zero progress(not even one good battle at the end of the anime), a main character that is your typical young "i want justice, i have this awesome superpower, i am stronger than you think" attitude with no character progression. The other characters except our Fuu "GOKU" Houhou are so miniscule you won't even bother thinking about them as none even leave a single trace of impression. Oh did i mention that there is comedy in this anime and most of it is about Soran being a virgin? I also feel that the mix the anime is trying to do between comedy and action, just can't be taken seriously, the comedy is slapstick and dry humor about being a virgin. Now the worst part is, this anime tries so hard to reach a Shounen level that is just dosen't know how to deal with the story, because there literally is none. This is the new generation of anime, thats so horrible i can't even imagine why this got produced at all. With each episode you keep expeting, "wow when is an amazing battle gonna start with our main character doing something really cool?". Well don't bother. If a fight starts, it's 30 seconds long and in the end goku comes, kicks everyone and it's over. No fights last longer than 3min. There is just nothing, this anime lacks soul. Nothing to captivate it's audience and being so damn slow paced, it even ended in a way so that they can get a season 2, if they sell well... Let's be honest, that will never happen. Or you will have to read the manga for the rest, but at this point if' the anime is this dissapointing, the manga will be as well. I Give it a solid 2! I would have given it a 1, but damn I just had to give it +1 for this crap to even leave the studio and reach the tv. Hurray, for Hitori no Shit. I honestly recommend this if you are on the verge of quitting anime, as this will definitevly seal the deal.
