The legend goes that there was a Battle of the Gods. Yang Jian (杨戬) became a god because he fought hard during the battle.

But 1,500 years later, things are different. The Heavenly Court (天庭) goes downhill. Yang has to make a living as a bounty hunter (赏银捕手). One day, Yang gets a bounty to catch a young man but finds out the young man is his nephew, Liu Chenxiang. Liu wants to save his mother by splitting a mountain. But this will cause chaos. What will Yang do? Will he help Liu?

This is the story told in the animation movie, Xin Shen Bang: Yang Jian. It came out in Chinese mainland theaters on Aug 19.

Besides the exciting story, people also like the movie’s visuals very much. The movie uses an ink-wash painting style in some parts. In others, it shows Heaven as a sci-fi style city with high buildings and spaceships.

“The movie really creates an amazing world,” wrote the Mtime website.
