Thunderbolt Fantasy
Finished first season of Thunderbolt Fantasy. I liked it overall, it was able to recreate the Jiang Hu campy feel. It had a straight forward story, interesting characters, and I love the costume designs. Can't wait for season 2.

Been watching this Japanese-Taiwanese puppetry with a Wuxia/Jianghu type setting. I do enjoy Jianghu / Wuxia stories from time to time. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_Fantasy)
I do admit puppetry is a dying art similar to Rakugo and it's certainly is an interesting collaboration between Nitroplus, Good Smile Company, and Taiwanese puppet production company Pili International Multimedia.
Good Smile had a promo with the actual puppets at AX:

It's an ouroboros like experience watching a Chinese Wuxia story with Japanese language; reading the subs using their Chinese names; and hearing the names in Japanese. O.O #mindblown
The puppets are rather big, I believe they close to 120cm but the costume details are rather amazing.
