Another backstory... well... these are the plagues of this series, we are almost constantly dwelling in the past. I don't think Kija's backstory was ever needed in the first place.

I don't find this OVA very interesting, it was bad choice to dedicate it only to one dragon.
There was also not much scenes of Yona.

This was a fun OVA to watch!! I already read the manga straight after I finished the anime, so I'm a bit slow to realize that there was an OVA as well...

The last scene with the soap was hilarious!! XD Can't wait for a season 2!!

Am I the only one who cried a shit ton of tears when Gija's dad was dying? I'm so glad he got his wish to see and touch Gija one last time before he died. My tears were starting to calm down a bit until Gija said that his name was his dad's last word. Then I couldn't stop crying! Goddammit Gija!

Damn it. This just broke my hope for 2nd Season this 2016.
So it's most likely they will do it on 2017. (Which is bad!)

I felt lucky to find this OVA right after I finished the main series :D

I love it!
Didn't read the description and was going in thinking that it would only be light fanservice OVA, but surprisingly it contains plot.

Jae-Ha's words to Ki-Ja in the previous Pirate Arc (what was the proper name) tbh left a little bad aftertaste for me... moreover since at that time I felt that Ki-Ja's character hadn't really been explored yet so I kinda felt bad if he was being disliked for that. So I'm really happy when I see they resolved that matter and their relationship get closer here :)

I opened my anime list and what do I see: Akatsuki no Yona OVA is at the top? I had no idea there are going to be more OVAs. :)
Now the question is, does the status of a show change itself from "finished" to "watching" automatically when they add new episodes to that show here on MAL? Well, this is definitely a very nice surprise.

Eh there's two more episodes? Great. x-x

=/ If I had a father that ignored/neglected me (based on what I've seen in this episode) I don't think I would have gone near him.

Loved seeing the characters back, that was great.

Short but excellent backstory like this is always amazing. Kija and Jaeha are getting along well. Thumbs up for Jaeha for understanding what pain Kija has gone through, even though part of it was by a spider. That was funny

This is a nice classic onsen different kind of onsen episode. [b]Not even 1 person has attempted or has even accidentally taken a peep to the other side of the bath. I'm not even mad, I'm actually impressed!

lots of stuff happening in this episode of the ova, but what struck me most was probably the way they popped in a short flashback of Jaeha's backstory;

like, hey people who made the anime; consider your angles please, this is kinda suggestive in probably the wrong way???

I just love Kija more!!! He's really sweet and cute and everything. I really liked how jae-ha tried to cover his back lol


And im crying about his father's last moment, and he didn't even hate him for even a moment. Kija has the softest heart of them all

So this is actually a separate release from the latter two episodes.
https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/yona-of-the-dawn-ova
vs.
https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/yona-of-the-dawn-zeno-arc

That split makes more sense.

Quickly fell in love with the anime and the character development is amazing, you see so much willpower despite everything the female lead went through. Love how she doesn't simply give up on her goals while she still respects other's feelings. I really wish there would be another animated season!

That was such a good episode for an OVA, we got to see how thoughtful & kind Jaeha is & more backstory of Kija’s. The art showing how Kija was carrying the weight of his dad & all his ancestors with their claws reaching for him & with him was so impactful. And a very moving story indeed.

Hak has also gotten so close to them. Loved it when he invited Jaeha to drink together after he overheard them talking & knew Jaeha might have been affected by Kija’s story. You can tell just how much he trusts them & is never threatened by them, they are all there to help & protect Yona♡ I love them all!!!!!!! So cute when Jaeha wanted to see Shin-ah’s eyes lolllllol







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there
