| Intense episode. Min-Soo... D: I really liked him and he died so early. Although once he said he could secure an escape route I had a feeling that's how this would go. Cute moment between Hak and Yona. I don't really care for shipping in this kind of series but maybe that'll change. Her shield at the end seems like a potential love interest. O: The fighting at the end was so cool! |
| Looks promising. Min Soo is DA MVP. |
 |
| This episode was pretty dark. Completely devoid of comedy. Damn Hak is badass. Seeing him annihilate Soo-won's baddies was satisfying. Yona continues to be a crybaby. She looked a lot more strong-willed after that timeskip though. I'm excited! This is reminding me of Seirei no Moribito more and more. Hak can be compared to Balsa while Yona reminds me of Chagum for the time being though I expect that to change. Good episode. I'm liking it more and more! 7.5/10 |
| Wanted to slap Yona so badly to make her snap out of it during the first half, but honestly i find her reaction to be quite realistic. Can't blame her too much on that one. Surprised Min-Soo died, i actually thought he was one of the harem guys we see in the opening. Nice fight scene at the end. I do hope there will be few time skips. I find it harder to follow a character's development when the story is not mainly told chronologically. And chara dev seems to be the main appeal of this show. |
| Wow, liking 2nd episode better than the 1st episode! Hak's fighting scene was cool! XD Dammit I thought Min Soo would survive at least :( That was a cool introduction to the future Yona (who is more mature and less whiny thank goodness) and her badass team mates!! Cant wait to see how they meet each other~ Thank goodness for the preview, for awhile there I thought it'll just randomly skipped how they meet each other. |
 |
| Interesting choice for a show to flash forward like that. It's sort've a spoiler but I can live with it. |
| The adventure finally begins. I like the OST. |
giraffesyo said: Interesting choice for a show to flash forward like that. It's sort've a spoiler but I can live with it. That's true. I haven't seen this often. I liked this episode. The fight were nice. Hak seems really strong and he's a cool guy. I like him a lot as a character after these 2 episodes. I think if they didn't stopped the fight between him and Su-won he would have killed him. At the end it was nice to see how much he cares for Yona. :) And we could see because they skip time for and backwards that Yona grew up. Looking forward to the next episodes. PS: The music is absolute beautiful. Love it ^.^ |
 |
| the flash forward at the end looks promising. the fight scenes werent bad as well. i wonder how will yona overcome this. |
 |
| Nice job Hak , my fave character so far i wonder how strong others generals , that was a fast development character of princess at end |
 |
| RIP Min-Soo. T0T It's so cute to see Hak comforting Yona. That hug... I went from crying to clapping my hands because I love the ending wherein we get to see some badass characters in action and Yona shooting the arrow. She's so strong now. |
 |
| For a shoujo anime, this actually looks pretty badass. |
 |
| NOOOO Minu-su you died like a hero. Also Hak is awesome. The music is really outstanding. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I despise Won and the thing is that this is only the 2 episode... I'm surprised that the princess is still talking and did not go the regressed mentality/mind-break route... R.I.P. Min-soo. Pity. I really liked him... |
 |
| Hah I thought so, Su-won isn't the kind and angelic person they thought he was. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Plot Twist: Yona's arrow missed. HAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAHHHH XDDD jkjk rofl Awweeee, Hak <33333333333 I'm falling for him *O* heheh I wonder if the other guys are the rest of the generals :D gang gang~ lmao |
| i guess in some way its gonna like female robin hood story maybe without stealing |
AllenVonStein said: Nice job Hak , my fave character so far i wonder how strong others generals , that was a fast development character of princess at end same here hes badass i hope Yona falls for him later on |
| I doubt it'll happen but It would interesting If Yona's Dad was a horrible ruler, like the general populace hated him or something along those lines. I just think it'd add a layer of I guess complexity to Yona's forthcoming quest. |
| RIP Min-soo Wasn't considering that Soo-won wanted revenge,but I still wonder if Il was even guilty of such a crime... Can't wait to see more of mature Yona. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That fight animation was really good! The story is getting more interesting... This is beyond being scared for Yona, she has been treated as a princess her whole life with constant joy aaaand... Boom! Her 16th birthday turns to shit with the assassination of his own father by the person Yona love the most! That's some high-grade mental breaking event for Yona! That last scene when Yona has become brave was exciting, but I hope this show takes its time to develop how she became into a 'warrior' and not just rushing on how her character is developed, even worse, just skipping it all to that point. |
  |
| These flash forwards are pissing me off. |
Hak is definitely my favorite character here. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Good show. I had to rewatch scenes from ep 1 and 2 again since ep 24 pretty much incomplete. Too bad no S2. |
| Quite a good start from the first episode. |
| Hmm, I don't know, but I feel like something is lacking with this anime. It's nice but, aahh, I'm not feeling that excitement. It's how the characters move. Yona is so stiff. I'm craving for more fluidity with their motions. Don't know if it's for the characterization or the animation is just not really satisfying me right now. |

Barion-Zara said: Lyrisia said: Lol at the ending ^^" Did they run short of materials so they just put the future? lol Not really, there r more than 90 chaps out there. I'm just guessing they want to attract the audience by showing them that Yona will become a BA and not just stay a whiny princess ^^ And they did great in doing so because it set my hope higher that I will not hate her throughout the whole series :D |
 |
| Wait that was pretty sudden, they just escaped the palace and now two minutes later she’s full blown Robin Hood? Was looking forward to see her grow into her vigilante form but oh well I guess a fast forward will have to do |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| That tease at the end!! I can’t wait to meet the rest of their squad, love their character designs & they looked so powerful. And lol @ the squirrel grabbing onto that guy’s hair!!!! So cute Really interested to see Yona’s development. That last shot with the arrow coming into frame was so epic! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| I don't blame Su-won for killing the king, since the king is evil and he is avenging his father.... but Yona is innocent so he shouldn't try to kill her... |
 |
| Would have loved more this episode if it wasn't for the fast-forward scene at the end. I don't think I paid attention when did Minsoo pull out that garment xD. |
| Revenge is a vicious never ending circle. |
 |
| I had nothing bad to say about this episode until the annoying time jump at the end. They've escaped into the forest, Yona is distraught & Su-won is plotting in the palace - I don't want to see future 'badass' Yona yet, or a bunch of new characters I know nothing about. Pretty jarring. |
