About The Founder of Diabolism

Here is what The Founder of Diabolism (魔道祖师) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, adventure and drama anime by B.CMAY PICTURES (2018). The premise: The Wen Clan's rampage caused untold sufferings, and the other cultivation clans launched the "Sunshot Campaign" to join forces against the Wen Clan. Although Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, had made great contributions to overthrowing the Wens, he was stigmatized and punished because he was considered too powerful and dangerous.

Along the way, he was persecuted by ten thousand people. Thirteen years later, Wei Wuxian has been brought back by a sacrificial ritual and has met again with old acquaintances such as Lan Wangji from the Gusu Lan Clan and Jiang Cheng from the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. The mysteries of Wei Wuxian's past remain, and conflicts in the cultivation realm have resurfaced - all of which began from when they were all once youths.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Ryouhei Kimura as Wuxian Wei and Shinnosuke Tachibana as Wangji Lan. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 15 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
