Criminally underrated survival donghua (spoiler free review)
Mi yu xingzhe, otherwise known as uncharted walker in english is a survival genre donghua (=chinese anime) which is criminally underrated in my opinion. From the tens of thousands users that use anilist only 3000 people have seen uncharted walker. So let me talk about this hidden gem.

STORY
If you are a fan of survival anime such as btooom! you will most likely like this. Some actually call uncharted walker a rival of btooom! In my opinion both are quite good but unlike other survival anime which can be described as pvp (player vs player), uncharted walker is co-op (cooperative).

The story is that a female doctor, a gang member, an archeologist, a policewoman, a billionaire, a basketball athlete, an actor and some more which are just normal people or I would spoil if I told you from all over the world all get stranded on a mysterious island out of nowhere. There's characters from China, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, USA, UK etc which is surprising that they aren't only chinese and I thought it was nice.

In the island from the get-go they are faced with life or death situations and threats such as various puzzles, giant snakes, serious diseases, ancient tribes, natural terrain such as swamps and much more. The anime is quite realistic for the most part which is always a good thing for me at least. It is not scared to kill off characters so you are always uneasy that your favorite character will die.

But thank god they don't get in danger from their stupidity neither someone wants to betray to survive. They know damn well that together is better than alone. Many survival anime tend to make the characters stupid and that's the reason they get into trouble which is annoying.

Also I respect this anime for instead of stopping an episode in the middle it just increases it's length. For instance 2 episodes are 30 minutes while some others are 26-28 so it can finish what it started. Furthermore, I appreciate that there is also mystery in this, they actually try to find where the island is in the world, why they are there, who built old ruins in the island and more but there is also mystery around some characters.

VOICE ACTING / SOUND
Something that puts most people off is the fact that it's a chinese anime. You might think that hearing chinese will be weird after watching so many japanese anime. I believe though that the voice acting was pretty good and had no problem at all even if it was my first time ever watching a donghua. Some characters even have different accents depending on their nationality. The sound is alright as well, I liked the op and ed too.

Animation
Animation wise it isn't very strong. Don't worry, it's not one of these 3d chinese ones but just has an alright animation. I don't really care about animation but here's some context for yall:

CHARACTERS
I didn't really talk about the mc. The mc is Ning Yuan, the guy with the white shirt above. In episode 1 he is really badass but he soon gets amnesia (sorry for telling you but it's a really light spoiler) and doesn't remember anything after 5th grade but he still seems to have a great survival instinct. Nevertheless I still liked him and he slowly regains his badass character. Something that is also surprising is that even with such a large group of characters I don't dislike anyone despite the questionable things some did... The characters don't get much development but just enough for you to like them and since everyone has a different profession, they all have something they specialize in. For instance the gang member, was bound to make problems for the group but he knows to be cooperative in action, the doctor will heal, the billionaire will use his money to make the others follow his plan and so on. Also, as I said before they are not dumb which is a huge green flag. My favorite of them is Andre, the russian dude.

THE BIG ISSUE ABOUT IT
The problem I had with it was the ending. It's not that story wise it's bad. It's that it's incomplete. When I say that I mean that the last episode is literally like a normal episode ended and there is a continuation, we are in the middle of an arc and shit is going down. I did research about it and found out that it was supposed to have 16 episodes but the studio ran out of money. I then wanted to read the manga but after chapter 180 where the anime ended only like 7 chapters have been translated when there are 900+ in total. So if you want a complete ending, you are out of luck, you won't get it for quite a while if ever.

Conclusion
Despite only saying good things, Uncharted Walker isn't a masterpiece. I personally give it an 7.5, clinging to an 8, it's not amazing but it's entertaining enough to be worth a watch especially if you are a survival fan like me.
