The Daily Life of the Immortal King
What's the Story?
THE DAILY LIFE OF THE IMMORTAL KING follows Wang Ling (voiced by Ethan Gallardo) in his first year of high school as he tries to blend into the background. The only problem? It's a school for teens with spiritual super powers, and he's got the strongest power in the world!
Is It Any Good?
This humor-heavy action anime has Dragon Ball Z hijinks with a faster pace and a relatable modern classroom setting. The Daily Life of the Immortal King makes easy laughs out of slapstick punchlines and Wang Ling's dry sense of humor. The playful tone emphasizes how the show doesn't take itself too seriously. The student characters may be a bit bland because they fall into recognizable tropes, but they're admirable in that they care about their friends and don't bully classmates. This is a good watch for young adult action fans looking for exciting fight scenes but a more light-hearted story.
