Synopsis
New Gods: Yang Jian (2022) is a Chinese animated fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Fifteen centuries have passed since the great war of the gods, and the heavens have slid into decline.
Once a mighty deity, Yang Jian — the God of Erlang — now scrapes by taking odd jobs as a bounty hunter. A fresh contract sends him after a mysterious young man, only for Yang Jian to realize the target is his own nephew. Buried family secrets, lost power and old duty pull him in opposite directions while the story tears across floating islands, airship races and zero-gravity brawls.
Light Chaser Animation builds the film on the classic myth of Erlang Shen, then retells it in a deliberately stylish, almost jazz-tinged key. The lush artwork and fight choreography are the real reason to give these 127 minutes a shot. It lands best with fans of Asian animation and wuxia fantasy.
