About Soul Land

Meet Soul Land (Douluo Dalu), an action, adventure and fantasy anime by Sparkly Key Animation Studio (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The premise: Tang San is one of Tang Sect martial art clan's most prestigious disciples and peerless in the use of hidden weapons. With high expectations, the sect's elders believe his future will be bright; yet Tang chooses to forsake this life at the cost of obtaining the sect's forbidden lore—an action punishable by death.

Beyond that: Tang, now content with his ascension of knowledge, sees no reason to keep on living and jumps from Hell's Peak, but little did he know that that would not be the end of his existence. In Douluo Continent, the tough prevail and the weak perish. Each person possesses an innate spirit, some of which can be cultivated and strengthened, bestowing its user with various benefits.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Sparkly Key Animation Studio, which means the visual identity of Soul Land follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. At 7.8/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Released in 2018, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
