anime adaptation of Lord of the Mysteries has sparked intense debate among fans of the novel and new viewers alike. The director of the series decided to comment on this, highlighting a crucial point for understanding the series.
According to him, the story carries a massive amount of information. However, much of this information is scattered fragmentarily throughout the episodes—and doesn't always follow the same order as the source material. Therefore, anyone watching the anime and comparing it directly to the novel may end up stuck playing a game of " spot the differences ."
Watch Lord of the Mysteries focusing on the anime's narrative
The director warns that this behavior can lead many to ignore the narrative logic of the anime itself, which has its own structure and rhythm. He emphasizes that animation is simply another way of expressing the story, but without the intention of altering the original plot.
Thus, donghua (Chinese animation) requires more focused attention and is less suitable for distracted viewers, such as those with commentary on. After all, each scene offers important clues to the unfolding of the central mystery.
In short, the tip is clear: enjoy the experience as a new reading of the work.
