A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

What it’s about

Han Li, an ordinary village boy, becomes an unofficial disciple of a minor sect by accident. His aptitude is unremarkable, so he must carefully navigate the dangerous road of cultivation while staying unnoticed by those who might harm him. Along the way, he confronts devilish demons and ancient celestials, all in pursuit of his own route to immortality.

What hooks you

Wu Zhenchao directs, with Qian Wenqing voicing Han Li, Song Yiren as Han Yun Zhi, and Xu Jiaqi as Dong Xuaner. The catalogue describes it as a spectacular animated action title. The series spans three seasons and 273 episodes.

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who like martial arts fantasy with an underdog hero who survives by caution and cleverness rather than natural talent. It will suit viewers who enjoy long-running animated sagas that blend action with mysticism and a touch of the supernatural.
