PREMISE

In the year 4386, Wang Lin is a student at a magical cultivation academy, and secretly the reincarnation of an immortal magical king. Hilarity ensues as Wang Lin struggles to hide his identity while he and his classmates face further high school exams, evil demon posessions, and magical competitions against other cultivation schools.

LIKED!

+
parody elements are stronger this season—the show breaks the 4th wall, has a video game episode, parodies political leaders, has a game show competition, switches into 3d animation, and more
+
OP: mandarin mumblerap opera dubstep fight scene was pretty neat! ED was a cute scrolling diorama
+
custom OP and ED animations during last few episodes, following latest plot developments

DISLIKED...

–
still some awkward subtitle translations
–
gameshow transitioning into series finale was odd
–
the gameshow arc segues into the series finale rather poorly

OTHER THOUGHTS

•
3D / 4th-wall-breaking portion of penultimate episode was goofy and fun

CLOSING REMARKS

The series continues being fun and well animated, but S2 is also more absurd, and the plot becomes disconnected.

Daily Life of the Immortal King (S2) – 6/10
