many people say that it's a pretty cool movie, but what about ne zha 1?
I haven't seen the second one yet, and i'm not sure when i will be able to since there is no announcement of it being released in Europe any time soon (thanks EU censorship!), but i have seen the first and i thought it was pretty good.
Some parts of the humor didn't translate for me, perhaps it was targeted towards younger audiences, but the visuals were pretty cool for 2019 and they did some things in that regard that i don't think i've seen western animation do so far.
iceberg moment or whatever but the first movie had insufferable fandom 🫠
movie itself was fine, both 2 and 1 have some kid-level basically fart jokes or whatever, overall agree that the direction had/has younger target audience
animation nerd opinions //
I prefer Lightchasers' dieselpunk take on nezha (New Gods: Nezha Reborn 2021) which came out similar same time as Coco Animation's Nezha 2019, and big fan of Lightchaser's fengshen (investiture of the gods) "cinematic universe" // note, Coco Animation 可可豆动画 also has their own line/takes on fengshen (investiture of the gods), Jiang Ziya 2020 was really good tbh I liked that better than the first Nezha film
