It is an animation with MMORPG or online gaming genre, kind of Sword Art Online-ish or SAO-ish but different, much closer to E-sport.
I have no knowledge of Chinese anime/animation/donghua 中国动画。 Just saying. The King's Avatar 全职高手 has over 760 million of viewers on a Chinese site, as of 24 June 2017. I'm sure there is more than just one Chinese site that had it.



Synopsis:
Widely regarded as a trailblazer and top-tier professional player in the online multiplayer game Glory, Ye Xiu is dubbed the "Battle God" for his skills and contributions to the game over the years. However, when forced to retire from the team and to leave his gaming career behind, he finds work at a nearby internet café. There, when Glory launches its tenth server, he throws himself into the game once more using a new character named "Lord Grim".

Ye Xiu's early achievements on the new server immediately catch the attention of many players, as well as the big guilds, leaving them to wonder about the identity of this exceptional player. However, while he possesses ten years of experience and in-depth knowledge, starting afresh with neither sponsors nor a team in a game that has changed over the years presents numerous challenges. Along with talented new comrades, Ye Xiu once again dedicates himself to traversing the path to Glory's summit!

I just finished season 1, this is so far the best anime of 2017. Very good art and the use of real life places in china make this anime looks interesting. Very good storyline and the idea is quite original.

Yup, some of them are real life places located in China.

Watched two times...Cant wait season 2.

just check their comment on youtube, seem like they're going to take down the video and upload it in tencent VIP . so for those haven't watch, you got few days left to watch for FREE.

i'm really hoping for season 2 here. also i heard they say "plan" for season 2, does it mean confirmed

macam best only

Just nice.

Just finish watch S1. Kinda surprise. It's quite nice. The storyline is abit typical, but the fighting and animation is really great. Some part of the animation is quite lack and not smooth, budget maybe? Too much MCD sponsorship

novel is okay but the anime quality is average, like playing games with low setting and fps, kind of lagging feeling

OVA is coming in April.

In the meantime, do check out 微微一笑很倾城 Just One Smile is Very Alluring aka LOVE O2O. It is one of the most celebrated TV series and idol drama with the online gaming genre. TV series or movies with the online gaming genre is a niche genre and very rare, unlike anime. 初遇在光年之外 Beyond Light Years (2018) is another one that I know; China production, shot in Singapore. I could hardly name anymore. Do let me know if you know any.

Synopsis:
Xiao Nai is a gaming expert who, courtesy of his basketball skills, academic excellence, swimming talent and game company presidency, also happens to be the most popular student on campus. When he first comes across the gorgeous computer science major Bei Wei Wei, the infinitely talented wunderkind immediately falls in love. But it’s not Bei’s looks that he notices; it’s the ridiculous mastery with which she is commanding her guild and owning everyone in an online multiplayer game that makes her impossible to forget. Now, Xiao Nai must use his skills both in real life and online to capture the adorable but dorky Bei’s heart. But does their love have the XP to succeed, or will this relationship never level up?

Good show, never expect it will be good, but lazy to read the Light novel

I have been told that the novel's story is longer than the animation series.

Still no official release date yet?

The live action is released like few hours ago, 24th July. No official release outside of China, as of now. You can go jack sparrow though. There are new updates on its Weibo.

If there is anything, this should be first place for it, the official Tencent channel on Youtube

Based on myanimelist https://myanimelist.net/anime/37932/Quanzhi...shou_2nd_Season stated 16th Aug slated for 12 ep only. Supposedly is 24 ep but dont know why they cut into half.

The movie also released on August but not sure the exact date.

Yea that is so let down, I assume is they dun wan to spoil the live drama so they cut the anime into half and release other half after live drama end.

Yea fast forward 2 episodes just now.. Seems like they are following anime plot. But the actress a bit let down lar.. Tencent is big company should hv find someone btr. Gameplay also feel weird... Instead of animation why dun they use cosplay like love020? Lmao

Live action with eng subs
https://wetv.vip/play?cid=jenizogwk2t8400

WeTV is legit and is Tencent international. No IP restriction as of now.

There is a torrent that alr hv 8 episodes but w/o eng subs.

But i still thinking whether to watch the live action as usually live action doesnt live up to expectations, esp Japan Live Action. Just my 2sen tho.

in anime 陈果 really sucks 1 wor, she dun play de wor
in tv series she not bad

mana ada ply not bad.. same noob like in anime.

Just watch complete the live action, not bad.

Daisy li who plays tang rou really pretty. I thought maggie or yumeng will steal the limelight, but for me its daisy, no doubt the hottest chick in it.

Ikr, she's something else.

damn...just finish watch the movie from youtube
i did finish whole novel before the movie, so seriously i feel sad when see SU MU QIU and his death

except by this, the battle is so nice until i feel like i am watching a true anime for fighting each other but not as RPG game
