New Gods: Yang Jian feels like an alternate timeline of Journey to the West along with all of the jazzy influence of Cowboy Bebop. The animation is slick and impressive, but the intentional crawl of the storytelling dulls the action and dims the spectacle of the visuals ever so slightly. It simply isn’t as effective or as entertaining as Nezha Reborn, which is currently still streaming on Netflix.
