We could just compromise and just say "It's Pat!"

This episode was.... meh.

Pat... brings back memories with my friends and I so I had to buy the movie...


Yeah the ep was so-so... I expect alot more actions and mystery to be coming up pretty soon though! It's probably just setting the mood and characters right now...

[Linksquest]

Boys that like to look at jewelery? *shrugs* Guess I was right the first time on them being guys^^

[SPOILER] Hmmn... also the merchant made a comment about there being pretty girls when only the twins and Eruruu were present... he also talked about the jewelry saying it would be "beautiful for women" when the twins held them up to themselves... they also seem to have girls voices to me...

The "exotic item" of the "treasure" creeped me out... <_<

I must say, I really loved the way that the moon was drawn in detail in the eps. It was amazing! [/SPOILER]

[Radical Dreamer]

Benawi = Aoshi clone?

Yes, I fully agree. XD

[SPOILER]It seems like Benawi isn't really all bad, and he'll probably end up joining with Hakuoro before this is all over. Also, he looks a lot like Aoshi (even the same color eyes, for goodness sakes. XD). But hey, that's fine with me. They're both bishi in my book. [/SPOILER]

Anyways, now that I'm fully caught up to this point, I'll make a few comments on the show!

First off, Aruruu may become my favorite character. She is absolutely adorable!!

Second, [SPOILER]the scene where Tuskuru-sama died was so sad!! I wasn't expecting it at all (I probably should have been), and so I was really surprised when she got injured, and especially when she died! So sad...![/SPOILER]

Third, Yuzuha looks like she'll become an interesting character in the future. I'm curious, especially because of the OP.

Fourth, I'm pretty sure the two archers are girls. Not only are they shown with Eruruu and Aruruu when the women are referred to, but they also have tails. I've noticed that the men of this race don't have tails, and if tails are a female-only characteristic, then they must be women.

Fifth, I am ever-amazed by the quality of animation in this show. My gosh, it's so gorgeous!! Everything is so fluid, I love when Hakuoro's hair blows in the wind or something...It really looks great!

I can only hope this series gets better and better!

[Linksquest]

Yes, I fully agree. XD

[SPOILER]
I think it was inevitable, now that I think about it. Hakuoro would have had to become leader sometime. I wasn't expecting it to happen because it was so fast. It was sad. [/SPOILER]

I've noticed that the men of this race don't have tails, and if tails are a female-only characteristic, then they must be women.

Actually, a male in eps. 6, the guy who came from "beyond the gate" has a tail. (see run time 12:18 in eps. 6)
but as I pointed out in my previous post, I think the twins are female.

[Ingemar]

The twins are male. Deal with it. Unless the anime makers are going to do something as radical as change their sex, I think that you'll have to deal with it.

I didn't "see" it yet but I accidentally saw screencaps of episode 7. It looks like we get to see even more people from the OP. yaaaaay.

[Tenshi no Ai]

Well, just watched ep 7 thanks to Youtube (which'll also help me watch 8 too when it comes out^^)

Looks like

[spoiler] with Inkara dead, 1 arc at least has come to an end. Now that the winged people have come into the picture, looks like a new one will unfold^^ And we still haven't even seen those other warrior cat-people yet! So yeah I knew there was more to the series then "Let's over throw the empire!" ^^ Yay think it's gunna be getting even better.... [/spoiler]

[Radical Dreamer]

Just finished the 7th ep, and I have to say...

[SPOILER] It looks like it'll be getting pretty good from here! I was just waiting for Benawi to join Hakuoro's side, haha! Also, I'm pretty sure I heard a very familiar voice actress doing the voice of the winged Princess/Priestess. I'm excited to see the next episode, though![/SPOILER]

[TriezGamer]

A recommendation: Don't go looking for fanart of this show unless you don't mind spoilers. x_x

[Linksquest]

I just watched Ep. 7

[SPOILER] Everything seems to be picking up in speed. The winged people are gonna be awesome, I think. Friends or foes? Time will tell [/SPOILER]

[Ingemar]

The fact that Mukuru hasn't devoured them in the preview makes me lean toward them being friends.

Lol... that might be an indication!

[Ingemar]

I also noticed that Aruru's 2nd animal companion will show up in episode 8. (See the OP where she, Hakuoro and Eruru are sitting under a tree).

[Linksquest]

We must ask ourselves "Does she really need one more?"

[Ingemar]

I suppose so, since Mukuru outgrew her cuteness phase.

[Ingemar]

ARURU!!!

I censored the text only to prevent spoilerism. I don't read Japanese, but did it nevertheless.

ROFL! She looks crazy with rage! I need to watch eps. 8 today!

[TriezGamer]

Ep 8 was drowning in cute. I loved it!

[Ingemar]

No, TriezGamer.

Episode 8 is a KT (kawaiitoxic) barrel of cute that you immerse yourself into and suffocate in cuteness while your best friend stands by and lights a match and throws it in causing you to combust in a raging inferno of Love.

Yes, it was that good.

[Tenshi no Ai]

With the word "cute" popping up for ep 8, maybe I should go watch it... now (thanks to Youtube^^ Yay! Bandwith returns to me in 2 days!)

[Linksquest]

raging inferno of Love..

ROFL! That cute, eh? I guess I must see this within the hour then, heheh!

[Tenshi no Ai]

My thoughts on ep 8!

[spoiler] It was a cute ep with Aruuruu and Kamyu (she's so cute^^) and even Yuzuha^^ I keep forgetting that Hakuoro is actually emperor now though :/ But I'm glad this ep wasn't yet another "time to fight this fort" and was cute and fun^^ The winged ones will be back though, since the opening made it look like they'll have a bigger part in the scheme of things. This newer arc looks like it'll be even better (and Benawi is good! He's a bishie^^) Too bad Hakuoru refered to Eruuruu as a "sister" (poor girl v_v). [/spoiler]

[TriezGamer]

In reference to the last part of that spoiler...

[spoiler]I felt so bad for her, but I think it'd be seriously weird to have a romantic relationship with a guy named after your dad.[/spoiler]

...that is true :/ Forgot about that...

[Ingemar]

[spoiler=Eruru]While most of fandom felt sorry for Eruru that she is nothing but a "sister" in Hakuoro's eyes, what Hakuoro said perfectly encompases why I do not think an Eruru X Hakuoro pairing is viable. It would be wierd considering Aruru considers Hakuoro as a father figure. If they had kids, would Aruru be considered an aunt or a cousin? :/[/spoiler]

[TriezGamer]

[spoiler]Oh, I totally agree, but I still think it would suck to be the one who's feelings are not really returned.[/spoiler]

Edit: Added spoiler tags as a precaution. I hate spoilers a lot, so I prefer to err on the side of caution.

ROFL! That's sooo true! XDD


and... Here is what I thought [SPOILER] I, too, thought that this was a very cute episode! It very much showed the new free-ness that the people have under Hakuoro. It is sorta weird seeing Hakuoro as the Emporer, but he's really good at it! I feel really sorry for him having to look at all those scrolls though, -_-. Mukuru was really just laying down, and there weren't two of them after all! Oh the powers of misconception! XD [/SPOILER]

I really liked all of it except for this part: [SPOILER] Why did they have to have that scene with the three girls in the bath? I mean, they could have shown it, but from their shoulders... Oh well... I supposed It could have been worse [/SPOILER]

Fanservice is fanservice... and concidering what the show's based off of... yeah it was unecessary, but nothing detailed (from what I noticed) was really shown... I do think that the over proportional sizes of the winged-people are fanservice already (that sorta thing reeeeeeeally bugs me in anime^^)

[Ingemar]

I think Hakuoro makes a lousy emperor. He's too lazy and too lenient. At least he's nowhere near as bad as Inkara was.

[TriezGamer]

Yeah, that's true -- to an extent. However, I think he's also shown that he is able to take control of a situation that needs to be dealt with.

What he really needs is a cabinet.

That REALLY bothers me as well *siiigh of frustration*

I wouldn't say that he is lazy, but just a nicer ruler than Inkara. He was doing all of those scrolls! And don't forget, to our knowledge, he wasn't brought up to be an Emporer. He has just NOW taken on all of the responsibilities that go along with the power of Emporer, and just as you or I would, he is obviously and understandably feeling overwhelmed.
