The 43rd episode of the "Covering the Sky" anime has been updated, but unexpectedly, this episode was widely criticized by fans halfway through the air. Judging by the comments and comments on the internet, many people lashed out at the episode, and even the production company The Force made a critical statement. At first I didn't clearly understand why this was happening, but after reading it, I finally understood. If you're interested, I can tell you why.
The first reason is that there are too many magic changes in this episode, because most of the plot is not the content of the original book, and it is completely modified plot. For example, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue met a character named Ghost General, and they talked to Ghost General, and an elixir with longevity effect appeared.
Then, the ghost general commanded a group of corpses to fight against Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, because they were protecting the Bronze Immortal Palace. In the end, Ye Fan discovered the weakness of the ghost general and defeated him. Many netizens, especially fans of the original work, couldn't accept it when they saw half of this plot, especially the plot of Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue teaming up to fight against the ghost general even more angered everyone.
Because according to the original book, the character of the ghost general does not exist at all. Even in the Bronze Immortal Palace, apart from Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue, there were no living people, only corpses, because they had been in the Bronze Immortal Hall for thousands of years, and the people inside had all died. However, the animation official had to create a ghost general to come out, and let the ghost general take the magical elixir and manipulate the corpse to fight against Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue.
It can be said that most of the people who enter the Bronze Immortal Hall are powerful characters. And Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue hadn't even reached the realm of Dao Palace yet. Even if they join forces to fight, it is impossible to be the opponent of the ghost general who has lived for thousands of years, but in the play, they successfully defeated the ghost general, completely deviating from the original book, and even the setting of combat power became untenable.
The second reason is that the plot was forcibly delayed, because Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue were actually trapped in the Bronze Immortal Hall for a short time. Soon they found a way out of the Bronze Immortal Palace. If the pace of the animation is followed, this plot only takes one episode to complete. But the director seems to feel that one episode is not enough and needs to be extended until three episodes to end. At the end of the third episode, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue finally left the Bronze Immortal Palace. Is this a significant delay in the progress of the plot?
The plot, which was supposed to take only one episode, was delayed to three episodes, which felt very lengthy and made you want to fast forward. I believe that many people now choose to fast-forward when watching the animation of "Covering the Sky", because if you don't fast-forward, you can't continue at all**, and the plot is too long. Only fast forward can prevent the "Covering the Sky" animation from being too procrastinating.
Many netizens have asked to stop the animation of "Covering the Sky". There were already many fans of "Covering the Sky" who were dissatisfied with the production team at the beginning, and they thought that the official would pay attention to and do a good job in animation. But I didn't expect the official to be so uncompetitive, not only changing the original work, but also forcibly delaying the progress of the plot. After the latest season aired, many fans of "Covering the Sky" expressed their dissatisfaction, and they demanded that the official not continue production. However, I personally believe that the choice is in the hands of the officials, not the audience. The official should not give up the animation of "Covering the Sky". As long as the official can take it seriously, it can really do a good job in the animation of "Covering the Sky".
