Twelve Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki) Discussion

Man, I love this series.

Funny thing is that I actually knew about it from the Anime Recommendations forum that is stickied. I like the Fantasy genre of anime so I saw this one and saw that It had 2 recommendations next to it, so I grabbed it really quick and watched it.

Nothing short of greatness.

I'd have to say, my favorite arc (or the arc that I couldn't stop watching was the middle arc about the Rebellion and the Triplet of Shoukei, Suzu, and Youko). That single arc drew me into the anime so close that I seriously watched the whole arc sequentially with no break anywhere during the Arc.

The final arc kinda dissapointed me since I felt that it ended somewhat abruptly. And I think we've only been in like 6 or 7 of the 12 Kingdoms (I think it's been Han, Ryuu, Kei, Kou, En, and possibly Tai). I would love to see more of the story revolving about the rest of the world.

And on a final note, the ending theme is one of the best I've heard in a while.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, if it were one thing that I didn't like, it was me memorizing names. The terms, I didn't mind, since I got those down rather fast since EVERYBODY throws them around in the beginning. But the names? Jeez. At least all the Kirin names are easy to remember.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just when it was getting good, a new chapter starts and it doesn't really continue from the first. I just gave up on the series after that, I just got bored. Plus, it took forever to download and buildup the story.

Well, it's not really that they start all over again, but it's another period where they just throw a shitton of information at you from the start. I actually liked the second arc a lot. As with the third.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
