_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. **Full review:** https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/01/23/new-gods-yang-jian-review-godly-animation-shackled-to-a-prolonged-narrative/
