One of our earliest favorite donghua characters, Mo Fan is coming back this 2021 for Full-Time Magister Season 5. The series which is also known as Quanzhi Fashi is among the gateway series for many donghua viewers nowadays. It aired at the same time with several donghua that popularized the Chinese animation outside of China such as The King’s Avatar, Fox Spirit Matchmaker, and Rakshasa Street. In this sense, Full-Time Magister had been one of the titles that introduced donghua to many of us long before the arrival of popular titles like Soul Land, Mo Dao Zu Shi, and The Daily Life of the Immortal King.

Brief Overview
Full-Time Magister donghua series first aired on September 2, 2016, and had been releasing consistently in 2017, 2018, and 2020 for its succeeding sequels. It features an OP main character and that is Mo Fan who had been one of the faces of donghua for many fans in the West. It has been one of the leading transmigration and cultivation donghua among its peers.
The series is adapted from a web novel titled Quanzhi Fashi or the Versatile Mage by author Chaos (乱). The novel has a total of 3,210 chapters and over 4 side stories which was published in Qidian and Webnovel. It has similar vibes to various web novels such as Return of the 8th Class Mage, Warlock of the Magus World, 21st Century Archmage, Lv1 Skeleton, Pivot of the Sky, and The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time.

Synopsis
The aloof high schooler Mo Fan has found himself in a universe similar yet distinctly different from his mundane one; it’s a place where magic has replaced the essence of science. Here, the most capable students are taught to master the wonders of spell working to fend off large devastating beasts that lurk in the forests surrounding the city. Like his previous life, Mo Fan remains the son of a poor laborer and the older step-brother to a crippled sister.
Despite these disadvantages, he dreams of attending a magic school to become a magician—a highly respected and lucrative trade—to repay his father for his hard work. Mo Fan is accepted into a renowned magic institution. However, rumors spread about his poverty and lack of magical ability, labeling him as the laughing stock of the school. Nonetheless, Mo Fan manages to harness not only the powerful fire element but also the rare lightning element! Now armed with dual abilities, what dangerous encounters will the versatile mage face?

Now, we just need to wait for further updates from Tencent about Full-Time Magister Season 5 and its release on July 28, 2021. While I think that the story is quite generic and average at its best, it is a donghua that I’ll always like no matter what because there’s some kind of sentimentality that holds that affection. That is why I am eagerly excited to watch the series once again. If you’re also excited, please let us know your expectations in the upcoming season of Full-Time Magister by dropping your comment below.
