About Fighter of the Destiny SS1

Fighter of the Destiny SS1 (择天记) arrives as an action anime by Foch (2015), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: At the beginning of time, a mystical meteor came crashing down from outer space and scattered all over the realm. A piece of it landed in the Eastern Continent.

Along the way, there were mysterious totems carved upon the meteor, and people gathered around it wanting to discover its usage. They discovered the Way, and established The Tradition. Several thousand years later, the fourteen years old orphan Chen Chang Shang left his master to cure his illness and change his fate.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 13 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Foch is the studio behind Fighter of the Destiny SS1, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.3/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2015, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
