    Synopsis:

    In a world where technological progress has diminished the presence of mythical creatures, Sibuxiang, a creature of legend, is dispatched to aid his brethren navigating the complexities of the human realm. His arrival intertwines with the lives of several other mythological beings who have found themselves unexpectedly grounded in the mortal world. He encounters Pixiu, burdened by unforeseen circumstances; Tuye, struggling with misfortune; and the Jue brothers, stripped of their former status and relegated to a life amongst humans. The narrative explores the challenges these creatures face adapting to a rapidly changing world, examining themes of identity, belonging, and the evolving relationship between myth and reality as they forge unexpected bonds and confront unforeseen obstacles together.

      Fabulous Beasts (You Shou Yan) is a donghua based on the manhua of the same name published on FENZ. Like most short comedy donghua, the episodes are 5 minutes long or less, and the first season gradually introduces the cast as they become relevant to the story. I actually really, really like Pixiu (Tianlu), the main character. He is super super cute and I personally can't get enough of him. Sibuxiang is a close second. You'll notice a recurring theme on the show where characters are based on (typically) traditional Chinese folklore, while others come from famous ancient literature and texts. There are also cross-series characterreferences occasionally snuck in which you will notice IMMEDIATELY if you're very familiar with a lot of donghua.nnThe visuals are cute and soft with visible and detailed brushstrokes make up the outlines. It's very appealing to watch in motion, and makes me personally very excited to watch each new season. All of the episodes are available with English CC officially on Bilibili's YouTube channel. Without spoiling anything, if you end up enjoying the first season, it's definitely worth going ahead and watching the rest!
