About Wu Geng Ji

Looking for background on Wu Geng Ji? This action, fantasy and supernatural series by Sparkly Key Animation Studio (2016) starts out like this. In short: A messenger of the Heavens has arrived in Zhao Ge, which has been ruled by the Shang dynasty for generations. The current emperor, Zi Zhou, refuses to bow his head before the gods, and declares to the messenger that he will no longer accept the tyranny of the Heavens.

As things develop, the gods do not take this kindly; and soon, the emperor of a neighboring land, Wu Jifa, leads a crusade against the rebelling Shang. During the clash, the Shang forces are vastly overwhelmed, and just when the capital is inches away from being taken, Zhou joins the fight. Although he breaks through the foe ranks and makes his way toward Jifa, out of nowhere a god falls from the sky, landing right before him, prepared to personally deal with the troublemaker.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
