hmmm i don't think so. actually DMBJ is perfectly normal novel, but there's no main heroine, the females are scarce and there are mostly males so.............. imaginations gone wild. at best it's bromance. welp, that's what you get in a novel in which most male characters save other's lives in many dangerous situations. g̶o̶t̶t̶a̶ ̶a̶d̶m̶i̶t̶,̶ ̶P̶i̶n̶g̶X̶i̶e̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶l̶i̶s̶h̶
you're welcome oh right, i added merch for DMBJ, shown at Wonfes Shanghai 2019 (cmiiw) Megahouse: Scale Figure of Zhang Qiling (RingToys): XIAOGEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Oh I didn't realize season 2 of the lost tomb was happening, I kind of gave up on the drama ever continuing after the long wait from season 1, so this is a pleasant surprise. Do you know if the series is out or if not when its suppose to come out this year?
the drama? the season 2 has been streamed right now with additional title, The Lost Tomb 2 Explore with the Note (NeoHou's Wuxie). meanwhile, The Lost Tomb Restart (with Zhu Yilong as Wu Xie) is rumored to be streamed in August 2019. but yeah.....only rumor..... as for anime..........no news since announcement in 2018
oh right, you can watch DMBJ 2 here (eng sub): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4P1OCiJ7Wk_A-02A1NravEJmgHCEj3Mv must be known that it started directly from book 2.
hmm never watch season 2 tbh lol (only eps 1) can't decide whether it's good or not. but this season 2 is pretty okay imo. need more opinions tbh, from novel readers
yess!! DMBJ will get (real) animation in Tencent video~ but idk when and whether it's 3D/2D edit: more likely the studio is really Haoliners. yea, more likely than not it's gonna be 2D. btw, Haoliners also handles TGCF/Heaven's Official Blessing. err... my feeling is kinda complicated. but i won't forgive anyone who messes my Xiao-Ge and Hua Cheng
when you said grave robbers... i remember another story... ghost blow the candle... but it seems missing now...
tbh, i'm not chinese and totally cannot speak CN from google TL, it seems the collection bundle will be released detail: https://zhongchou.modian.com/item/70357.html in-novel illustrations (i gueeess)
edited first post to add link for Zang Hai Hua manhua. also.... credit card cover? i guess we can see donghua designs from this
edited 1st post again to add characters list. welp, bcoz i'm myself always mistaken. also i have watched the second season drama but.... Spoiler: imho *SPOILER ALERT* is it good? well it's okay. Wu Xie is fine, Fatty is great, Xiao Ge is not bad. Xiao Hua is good (not much pink eh). actions are kinda fine. pretty thrilling. but my biggest concern is the plot. the last eps is totally confusing and doesn't explain things: how about Xiao Hua and party? did they escape from the tomb? did Wu Xie's party escape from Changbai? AND WHO IS THAT XIAO GE'S TWIN?!! i won't accept thing like "he's only similar to Xiao Ge accidentally" because f*ck you. that's why. the plot also contains not only 2nd and 3rd book. quite many things from later books are included, like the auction (tbh, the novel version is more chaotic. only 3 persons, with one helper (Xiao Hua) trashed the auction place and took the most important good. great.) the good thing is, audience can see Xiao Hua and Hei XiaZi earlier than in novel. idk if the last eps is only a preparation(?) for next season or whatnot. also throughout the drama, it seems many technologies were involved, like gps and drones. tho i prefer technology were not involved that much like in the novel good thing NeoHou as WuXie is handsome *cough* just think the drama different from the novel and you'll be fine. trust me. honestly, the novels are very good albeit the BL hints are minimum. those bro moments (no homo) are so......... as some comments i saw online: XiaoGe's feeling to WuXie is deeper than friendship but different from love can we count the anime? idk, coz i heard it will start directly from third book. also, Haoliners.
yesterday, there's DMBJ live concert in an event (what's this 八一七稻米节 called anyway) there's link to bilibili edit: added footage? lmao cant read CN so i'm blindly checking weibo
八一七 = Aug 7 = for wx and zql 10years agreement 稻米 = Dao mi = what fans of dmbj call themselves 节 = Festival So every year on 8/7 dmbj fans make a mini fan concert to celebrate dmbj (minor edit: not just a concert, there's like a bunch of events around Chang Bai Shan) ...i think it started from 2015 ....10 years for the novel time line where wx and zql would meet again
Where can I read the whole series in English? I want to read online eng translation ! I found eng trans of this only on Amzaon. If you know where can I read, tell me. I'm a fan of 盗墓笔记 and yet I can't read the whole series. Poor me !!!
