Quanzhi Fashi III

Even though this season wasn't perfect, it was by far better then the second. The level of animation is far better when compared to the last one (although this is not difficult) and, despite the opening and ending, the soundtrack sounded developed too. In my opinion, the main character is the strong point of this anime. Mo Fan is very powerfull and trains a lot to improve himself, and he does this well while still can flee from some cliches that anime protagonists usually have. His behavior is believable and not always that heroic, and this helps to relate with him. Mostly because of himi can say i enjoyed Quanzi Fashi (with the exception of season 2. It was horrible). I know that the tecnical stuff, mainly animation quality, is bad because chinese studios don't really have resources when compared to the japanese ones, and i know in the future this is going to change, but they really could have made a bit more effort in season two. At all, i would recommend Quanzhi Fashi to people who likes school animes with OP main characters. If you don't have a preference for this time of anime, i don't think you will enjoy it.

There will be mild spoilers in this review, because it can't be helped. I'll start with the TLDR: On a technical level this is better than season 1&2, though that isn't saying much. The story feels like a reset and a rehash of much of season 1 And with the abandoning of most of the previous characters, and a new roster of characters, some of the investment that you might have had is lost with them. It is still somewhat enjoyable however. To review this in context of the other seasons, Quanzhi Fashi is one big mess, the pace is all over the place, Season 1 covered over 2 - 3years, with the amount of time skips in it, it's easy to lose track of just how much time has passed, but it's over 2 years, whereas Season 2 takes places over the course of a few days, then in season 3 we get an entire year totally skipped, and then we presumably get a few other skips, and we seem to come close to a total of 2 years passing in the entirety of season 3. So pacing is an issue. The animation seems to have improved, it's still bad in places, and it still looks like 90's animation, but, it's better than the last two seasons, now it rises to the level of being mostly average/decent Likewise the OST has also improved, and can be called average As for story... To be honest, you could probably skip the first two seasons (except maybe episode 1 of season 1) and not feel like you missed anything, because of how little anything that happened before had any effect or weight on what happens in Season 3. The main plot gets mentioned 3 times in the entire season, we move to a new city, and it mostly repeats the same events of Season 1 He goes to get a new magical element, but gets two instead of 1 - same as season 1 He goes to Uni, instead of high school He gets the collective ire of most of the students He spends most of his time focusing/meditating on his magic and levelling it up he needs money, and joins the Hunters he has to deal with monsters in the city - beat for beat, it's Season 1 again, it's just done a bit better, and this time he doesn't hide his identity by reversing his name and wearing a mask and having people who have known him for years some how not notice it's him. As for characters, pretty much all the characters from the first two seasons are gone in season 3, so we have a cast of new characters, but it focuses on a smaller group so we can likely get to know these characters and tell them apart, but at this point I don't know is Season 4 will even keep them around or feature any of them, so, it's hard to care about characters after how it's treated the past group of characters. As bad as things are though, there is still enough to keep this being dumb fun, it is still an entertaining ride, I just wish it was done better as there is promise of a good series here, but it's not living up to its potential

QUAN ZHI FASHI SEASON 3—THE KING IS BACK (AND HE’S COCKY AS HELL) After the train wreck that was Season 2, Season 3 feels like the studio finally remembered why people liked this show in the first place. This is where the fun returns. The Soft Reboot: Season 3 essentially hits the reset button. New city, new university, new characters. Honestly? It was precisely what the series needed. We move away from the depressing survival vibes and go back to what matters: Mo Fan being an underdog on paper but a beast in reality. Even though it teases us with his power levels and countless female interactions, watchinghim navigate this new hierarchy is pure entertainment. Production Level Up: Finally, the animation and sound don’t feel like they were made in a garage (not perfect, but in comparison, awesome). The jokes land better, the spells look sharper, and the OST? Insane. The opening and ending songs specifically are absolute bangers this season and add so much hype. The Peak (Mid-Season): The highlight of this season—and honestly the best part of the entire anime so far—is the mid-season duel. Without spoiling it, it is peak fiction. The choreography, the sheer satisfaction of Mo Fan putting arrogant elites in their place… it gave me chills. It’s the reason you watch this show. The Slight Dip & Redemption: I’ll admit, the final third with the monster arc was a bit generic and threw around too many clichés for my taste. It dragged a little. But just when I thought it was losing steam, the final fight pulled everything back on track and delivered a finale worthy of the buildup. Verdict: Mo Fan carries this show with his unapologetic cockiness, and Season 3 gives him the perfect stage to shine. It’s not flawless, but the “fun factor” is through the roof. Rating: 9/10 (A massive improvement and arguably the peak of the series so far).
