/no spoilers don't worry!/
There are only a handful of shows that got me so speechless after finishing it and Link Click is now one of them.
It's my first time watching a Chinese anime and I've only known about the existence of this very show because of a clip I saw on another platform but I am so thankful I decided to put it on my watching list and actually watch it almost instantly because this show really got me staring into nothingness, hands on my scalp, mouth hanging wide-open as if welcoming a fly to come in at the end of every episode. While not all episodes may be as thrilling as the last few episodes did, it's still really damn good (and no you should not skip any parts). The pacing was considerably nice, it's not too slow yet not too fast, and while you may think that a cool plot couldn't be executed well in a short amount of time, saying it was executed 'well' is an understatement, I dare to say that the plot that the writers and directors had in mind was executed quite flawlessly and damn exquisitely. I doubt you won't be begging and asking for a season 2 after finishing this show.
OP and ED! Visuals are really nice and very much Gen Z with the three characters tutting (that's what it's called right? the hand dance thing) during the OP lmao. The songs are really nice as well. That new bgm they introduced during the last episode matched the scene really well and because the song is sung in English, you could understand it and that just makes the experience of watching that very scene much better.
Animation! Now, I don't know a lot about animations and stuff like that and I don't really have a specific preference when I'm watching these shows but I could say this show has darn good visuals and sceneries. It's quite calm in the eyes and overall a very smooth and nice-flowing animation.
Plot! I kind of already stated how I felt about the plot in the first paragraph but oh my god it is so good. It may sound average or a bit boring at first but they connected the story so well and the flow is really nice. The plot gets astonishingly better trust me. You would not want to not watch nor drop this show.
Directions and Scriptwriting! The story-telling in this show is really satisfying. It will definitely rig your brain a bit but the way they directed the scenes and the way that the narrations were written will help you have a good grasp on what's happening. I also love how they got me questioning a lot of things during an episode and have them answered at a very perfect time.
Give this show a try, if you find some parts a bit /meh/ at the start please do not drop it because I swear on my life it gets incredibly better each episode. Honestly, I do not understand why this show is underrated and maybe because it's the fact that it's a Chinese anime, and here's the thing, if you often watch Japanese anime, it might throw you off a little but you'll definitely get used to it. The voice acting is really nice and it matched the characters well so don't let that make you drop this show.
If you're planning on watching this show and you're quite an emotional one like me, prepare the tissues sweetheart you're most definitely going to need them <3
