Off topic, but I'm confused as to how Envy can be a racist.

Psycho, sure. But racist? No, and I'm going to be nitpicky here.

For one, Envy is derived from and made of bits of a literal construct creature who belongs to neither race involved in the genocide. Father is made from a Xerxesian's blood. The races involved in the genocide were Amestrians (perpetrators) and Ishvalans (victims). Father had already wiped out his own 'people' in the move that gave him a body and tested out his theory, sparing only the man he was made from. Well, consigning him to a fate worse than death, but the same thing.

For two, the Ishvalan war of Extermination wasn't even racially motivated for the homunculi, or for Father (or Fuhrer Bradley). It was entirely to fulfill the Crest of Blood sacrifices in strategic locations for the Nationwide Transmutation Circle. Sure, so they played off one race against each other, and the red eye/blue eye imagery is clear on this, but that's literally a ruse. In-universe, it's misdirection and a coverup for the real reason. That's the point. I mean, they also incited border-based warfare at Briggs, caused a violent uprising in Liore, did other shit in Aerugo and so on.

You can compare the two characters to a degree, but racism is a weird and thing to bring up in Envy's case.

To be fair, the donghua is by far the adaption that's behind on the plot the most of all adaptions so there has been much less development between them- not to mention much of second season was mostly a weird tangent that didn't have much to do with the original.

I also think a lot of stuff gets lost in an animated series - facial expressions especially and with the very subtle stuff going on with LWJ, I guess that's the main reason why it doesn't seem quite right.
Then there's the thing that, even though compared with other Chinese productions, MDZS is quite good (and the backgrounds are gorgeous), it's still not the best quality animation.

I'm not too fond of the donghua voice actor for WWX myself - at one point I was confused because him and the VA for The Untamed are so extremely different and I thought it was the same VA but I rememebered it wrong - the drama CD VA is the same as the Live Action VA.

I had a really hard time trying to figure out how old the character was supposed to be, because any answer to that question managed to be creepy in different ways.

To be honest, I love Aidan Gillen but I feel like he's slumming it in this role. He's a real actor and this is, not to put too fine a point on it, a deeply pseudohistorical UFO investigator biodrama.
