I loved it. The concept wasn't anything new, but the style was. It is the kind of anime I can use to bring people into anime rather than Death Note, which I found pretty average..

King of Heroes
Read all available chapters of Feng Shen Ji.Scored 8.5/10.
Here is a review from a MAL user.
review by tcubed

We'll start off with the story. The main character isn't some sort of tragic hero, he is somebody that you actually start off disliking straight from the bat. His arrogance, weakness and selfishness are somewhat irritating when compared to the other characters, this however doesn't last very long.

The protagonist doesn't suffer from some cruel fate or poor upbringing and become a hero overnight. There is a long journey ahead of him and many hardships. This is where Feng Shen Ji differs from a lot of typical battle manga, heck the only thing he has to rely on for a long time is his brain. The story develops amazingly, the narrative is extremely well timed and the authors have this down to a fine art. Each volume leaves you on tenterhooks until the next but never are you unsatisfied with the amount of information that is provided in each volume. If you do manage to buy physical copies of these you certainly won't be disappointed with the value for money.

Moving on to the artwork, each page is drawn in beautiful colour. I pay more attention to the artwork if the manga is in black and white, with this drawn in beautiful colour there is so much to take in. Each page is beautifully drawn with colours that are really catching. The battle scenes are some of the best I have ever seen, you can follow what each character is doing with ease and it is not often I can say that about manga. As much as I can't wait to see what happens next and am ready to turn each page I am always hesitant as I survey the page one last time to take in each detail as this is drawn so well.

Readability for me is important but so is the potential to come back to a series in perhaps a years time and wondering would I still enjoy it. This series I can wholeheartedly give a definitive yes in answer to that question.

Overall if the battle manga genre with a not-so-typical male lead is something that interests you then Feng Shen Ji should be top of your pile to read. It has instantly put itself into one of my favourite series and I cannot wait until more volumes have been translated.

I don't often write reviews but I was thinking of the best way of promoting this manga because this to me is a diamond in the rough.

i will take death note over shows/stories like attack on titan any day simply because death note presents an age old moral dilemma:how far would you go for your view of "justice" even if it involves committing injustice?anyway i think it is more of age/maturity/personality factor that decides people getting into anime.i know many who got into anime watching death note & i am pretty sure they wouldn't be as as impressed by a show like attack on titan if it was their 1st anime.

I liked Code Geass more than Death Note because of more girls :D :p

(nah, it was because of more developed story and epic ending. DN's ending was kind of lame)

Beelzebub has a super funny chapter this week :D

I preferred the art style of Madoka Magica and the visual display of emotions in Lovely Complex.

Attack on Titan was run of the mill anime which dragged on for a while in between episodes. There was so much scope for potato girl and many more things could have been developed better. Poor execution.

I feel Highschool of the dead never tried to be anything else than an echhi action anime, and did a good job with it...

Any review on Aria series?

How many episodes for this anime ?
Kimi no Iru Machi: Tasogare Kousaten Episode OVA 1 English Sub/Dub

I could find only 2 and there is a new release which looks entirely different.

@Faun,i suggest dropping Kimi no Iru Machi simply because it will never be fully adapted to anime because of its size(252 chapters & ongoing).manga(at least upto around ch165 is very good).also the 2ep OVA does not start from the beginning of the manga.i suggest suzuka series from the same author which at least adapted into anime with half of the manga(starting 9 volumes out of total 18).

I hope you mean Aria the Animation, and not Hidan no Aria.

If you mean the former, then I would say you should watch it if you're looking for something to feel good about. Don't go by level of maturity - this is a slice of life anime set in a utopia, so not much action. Instead, enjoy the scenery porn, the music and the light comedy. In the end the show is supposed to be a heartwarmer, not something like Evangelion with it's deep psychological levels and stuff.

I meant the aria series (Animation, natural, origination) in general. Thanks, I like the sound of it, will definitely try. :)
