Xiaoxuan enters Huzi’s conscience in an attempt to bring him back from the dead
The superb Chinese animated series Tiger Crane premiered on October 5th with two episodes, and has then had a new episode release every Saturday ever since.
It isn’t available for everyone to watch, however, as new episodes are typically released for Bilibili’s VIP subscribers first, before being available to non-subscribers a week later.
Tiger Crane, Episode 9 then is the fantasy action adventure donghua’s latest episode that is currently available for free.
Episode 10, which premiered on November 30th, will be free to everyone via the Made by Bilibili – Chinese Animation YouTube channel tomorrow via their Tiger Crane playlist.
And that is why Bilibili has just uploaded a short trailer of a Tiger Crane, Episode 10 clip titled “Xiaoxuan transforms into a crane to slay the demons!” to give non-subscribers a taste of the delights they will be in for starting tomorrow.
That 3-minute Tiger Crane, Episode 10 clip features protagonist and Imperial Demon Exorcist Qi Xiaoxuan inside Huzi’s conscience trying to save him, as he is being attacked from within by a demon.
It kicks off with everything going to hell in a hand basket, while Xiaoxuan explains to Huzi that, outside his body, he is actually already dead.
That means the only way to save him is for both of them to kill the demon and then get back out into the real world before everything collapses.
If they don’t, both of their Primordial Spirits will die, and they will both be lost forever.
Of course, the demon is having none of it, and continues on its massively destructive rampage through Huzi’s conscience while he and Xiaoxuan try to kill it.
Something Xiaoxuan eventually thwarts when he turns into a crane. But an action that may be too late, as the end of the Tiger Crane, Episode 10 clip suggests Xiaoxuan has just forfeited his own life.
Watch the just-released Tiger Crane, Episode 10 clip below, and head to Bilibili’s YouTube channel tomorrow to check out the episode for free.
It is, by the way, as exciting as hell.
Tiger Crane details
The ongoing fantasy donghua, which is also known as Hu He Yao Shi Lu, is animated by Shanghai-based animation studio Motion Magic and produced by Bilibili.
Its plot goes like this:
The story follows two main characters, Huzi (Tiger) and Qi Xiaoxuan (Crane).
Huzi is a cheerful, optimistic and quite cheeky mountain orphan who accidentally swallows a red pearl, a supreme treasure of Yang. Because of that, he becomes entangled with Qi Xiaoxuan, the cold and proud captain of the national demon exorcist team.
Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoxuan is a somber and often unemotional demon exorcist who specializes in hunting and exorcising demons.
Huzi’s unexpected involvement with him, and with the demon world, leads to a thrilling adventure as they embark on a journey to slay demons and uphold the ancient ways of Taoism.
The animated series is currently scheduled to run for 24 episodes.
Donghua is my life.
