A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality has maintained a steady Annual rhythm for 6 years, typically returning in July. Since its debut in July 2020, the series has functioned as a central pillar for Bilibili, often bridging the gap between traditional seasonal cycles with extended episode counts. While the production transitioned into a continuous year-long broadcast format (nianfan) starting with its second major arc, it has historically utilized the mid-year summer window to launch significant new narrative chapters and technical remasters. The show’s broadcast trajectory is defined by its evolution from a standard seasonal ONA to a high-frequency cornerstone of the network. Despite occasional brief hiatuses for production polish, such as the gap leading into the June 2026 Mulan arc, the series consistently prioritizes a Saturday morning timeslot. This reliability has cemented its status as a historical leader in the xianxia genre, often setting the pace for technical benchmarks in 3D donghua animation across the industry.
