The All-Devouring Whale: Homecoming

The All-Devouring Whale: Homecoming tracks Fan Lingxiao, a prodigious trainer of spiritual beasts who shines during a Level-A sect promotion. In a brutal turn of betrayal, his own powerful pet Kun devours him, and he seemingly vanishes. When he wakes, he occupies the body of a young man named Liu Fengmang and finds himself imprisoned in the White Mansion's dungeon. Lingxiao Pavilion, his former sect, is on the brink of collapse as rivalries and secrets pile up. Refusing to surrender, Lingxiao leans on his rekindled abilities and the loyalty of his spiritual team to push toward truth and renewal. He teams with Gu Ling, Cheng Xi, and Yue Tong for a new expedition filled with action, humor, and mystic world-changing innovation.

Directed by Ziliang Lao and created by Mo, this animated series draws on a Chinese fantasy world where sects and talking pets collide. The production leans into vivid visuals, fast set pieces, and a light touch of humor amid magic.

Because this is a TV series, there are no box office numbers or worldwide grosses to report. The project's reach is measured by streaming metrics and viewer feedback rather than ticket sales, leaving box office figures off the table online.

As of now there are no major award nominations announced for this title. Some critics and fans have praised its visual ambition and character dynamics, but it has yet to be recognized by the industry with nominations or wins, keeping awards discussion in early stages and industry attention limited.

Reception is largely positive with an 8.4 out of 10 average from 46 votes. The show explores rebirth, the bond with loyal spiritual pets, and the effort to rebuild a fractured sect while mixing humor with high stakes action and a hint of science fantasy. Its blend of action comedy and mythic gadgetry may appeal to fans of both fantasy epics and animated capers.
