Its great!!!I love the whole sttory line, but i hate some of the characters, well one of them anyway….
So who thinks the 12 kingdoms is good?
I love the anime, not because of the Youko’s seiyuu (and I’m a big fan of her Seiyuu) but the character development of Youko and the storyline is just excellent!
I have the complete DVDs but I havent read the novel due to the fact that it has a lot of errors in the novel because of translation and publication
But OMG The Twelve Kingdoms is AWSOME!! Fourth Place in my favourite anime list
Theirs a lot of old fashioned allegory to it based on old Japanese spiritualism. If you look closely you can even find some amishi.
I even got my niece into it and she’s six. An excellent family show.
How ever I do think some of the stories are missing closer.
I probably should watch more of it but the first two episodes really didn’t catch my attention.
My recollection of the series:
eps 1..5-> hmmm..is this going somweres?
eps 6..10 -> i see, interesting angle
eps 10..17-> yawn..get it together already!
eps 17..26-> ooooh…so that’s that it ment…
eps 26..36-> now that’s some fine piece of story! :in awe:
eps 36..42->huh?, Uuuu, interesting. Wth..already ended? gief moar!
