Honestly, Akatsuki no Yona is one of the best shoujo out there right now. Glad to see it getting animated and a two cour that is. Although I'm kind of bothered why they're showing Soo-won's visit with General Geun-Tae before Jea-ha's arc.

That's why the question comes in mind, until what part are they adapting?



Is it possible that they would end it with an original ending?

Another Dragon joins the group. Next up is the Greed Dragon. It looks like he's an interesting one. I hope we get to see him after 2 or 3 episodes.

I thought this was a weaker episode tbh. First Yona feels faint and it's >>>drama<<<, then she feels fine again and it's >>>more drama<<<. It seemed a bit silly to me. I'm also a bit picky about Sinha being a kuudere, but I can live with it. I like the name Yona picked for him. I also thought Yona's insistence that Hak call her "Princess" was interesting.

As much as people are complaining about how this is slow paced, I actually wish the pacing was even slower. We could spend more time developing the dragons and their relationships to their villages, Yona's growth, the group dynamic, etc. Though it would probably have to be a long runner for that to work...

(I still wish this was a long runner. ;-;)

Anyway, decent, if somewhat rushed wrap-up episode. Off to the Green Dragon.

I love how Yona allows everyone to call her by her name expect for Hak.
Shin-ah is my favorite dragon so far due to my obsession with the color blue & although he has awesome eyes I don't want him to take his mask off, it looks nice :/
Still loving this series, it even gets better each week ugh I hope it never ends... Now I'm ready to see the Green Dragon next.

FTFY. :3

I expected Green for next week so much since he's my favorite but the earth tribe chaps are good and give the much needed exposition to Soo woon. I can wait. Overall the adaption is really good and the direction for Shin Ah episodes was superb.

I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but I imagine


Also, if they choose to do an original ending, I will set my hair on fire. But I get the feeling this show will be popular enough to continue beyond the first season, much like Saiunkoku Monogatari or Kamisama Hajimemashita.

Love this episode. This series is wonderful. The nighttime scenery with the shining moon was beautiful and made me think of the gorgeous scenery in "Princess Mononoke".

This show is better than I thought. The pacing is perfect for me, the characters are all very interesting and the plot is good as well.
The most suprising person has to be Yona. At first I didn't like her at all but her character slowly becomes nicer and more intelligent.

Hak x Yona btw. Hak (still) has to be my favorite male character. *o*

Anyway great episode. I love the name Yona gave to the Blue Dragon. (:

Not that i dislike Akatsuki no Yona or want it to change or anything, but consider this for a moment:

The moment she takes the Blue Dragons hand, Yona turns to stone and crumbles.

Now *that* would be a major plot twist. I bet people would still claim they "knew" it would come to this, but be honest, nobody would have *expected* something like this after 13 episodes and with a lot more (finding the other dragons and getting them to come with Yona) already laid out.

What turn would the show take at such a point? And how many people would rage quit? Would MAL survive, with people bombarding it with request, trying to vent their anger here in the episode discussion?

They’re finally out! I really felt bad for Hak when he hugged her and I have no idea why. The furball monster bit was hilarious, I was waiting for it. This soundtrack is the best! Especially when Hak and Yona were by the river.

Shin deciding to join Yona and him not needing the bells as his 'friends' made me almost teary-eyed. Such a powerful scene.

Loved when Kija asked Shin to call him aniki and he ran away. LOL.

"Thank you, Yona." I bet everyone wants to call Yona now.

Yun wanting to call Yona by her name was cute.

That Hak x Yona moment <3

So Shin Ah means moonlight. Him running away is going to become an ongoing gag, I think. A lovable one.

I loved this episode so much, I don't know why, but I really cried a lot during episode 13 and episode 14. When the former Blue dragon didn't allow him to have fun or play as a kid, I cried rivers. This anime is really emotional to me. This kid was so lonely all of his life, I just feel this fictional's characters tears frozen in his heart. A big disappointment frozen in time. And I cried rivers when I saw Yona give him Hope and a feeling of loved friendship. Shin-Ah can finally have some friends, and I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT! Congratulations for the Producers of this Anime, you do know how to portray emotions without displaying them, that story of Blue Dragon alone is like an emotion of its own

Shin-ah was super cute and I really like the meaning of his name :D Poor Hak though, he keeps getting rejected basically. I seriously love Hak omg. I think the chibi thing is a little overdone and placed at weird parts, so it sort of ruins those moments. Like at the beginning of the series I thought it was cute, but now it's just plain overused. The next episode looks super good though!! They sure are moving on to the green dragon quickly... I wonder what's going to happen with Soowon?

this was a really good episode but there really hasnt been an episode that wasnt good for the series yet so far i have enjoyed it from start to current one of the only shows that from last season i look forward to every week this new airing season there is more but since Yona started last season that is why i say it the way that i did....

Both dragons are hotties though so is Hak but I really enjoy this anime alot each week gets better n better my only complaint is the episodes never seem to be long enough there always over before i know it n it feels like not enough has been explained but yeah other then that loving the anime

Omg Ao is so adorable!!! ^-^ although it's kinda funny because sometimes when he's squeaking he sounds like he's saying: "F**k you!"

I loved the part when the cave wall broke, and Gija rushed in to protect Yona, but then a hug rock smashed him in the head. I wonder if that's why he's sick xD Also the blue dragon approached the white dragon with an axe but Yun and Yona just casually walked away :p this anime is actually pretty funny.

Yaay the blue dragon finally joins the party!

For someone who doesn't say much, Blue Dragon is pretty funny. Funniest moment for me is when Kija told him to call him "brother" and then Shinah ran away. rofl.

Gosh, I am consistently amazed by how charming and loveable Yona is. She is easily one of my favorite heroines. ><

I already like Shin-Ah a lot, too. His gentleness and quietness contrasts the other members of the group very well, and his personality is a perfect match for his background. I'm glad he was depicted as he is; it's natural for someone who was treated as an outcast ans isolated for virtually his entire life to have some pretty severe socialization issues. And I really, really love the touch of him using the mask to protect himself... like a mental guard that gives him comfort against the outside world. A mental placation, as if as long as he's wearing that mask, he's protected. I truly know how that feels.

Some shows when receive anime adaptation, isn't because they are popular, on contrary, they are losing popularity and its a way to sells more manga/light novels. Because off that, they don't know if the anime adaptation will sell well, so basically they try turn the anime interesting to sell.

Apparently on Akatsuki no yona, seeing how they are adapting so well, this one is popular on Japan? I am not sure but seems that is the case of this one.

I LOVE SHIN-AH HOLY SHIT.

I can't decide who's my favorite anymore - him or Hak!! Both had great moments this episode. Got teary eyed at multiple scenes. Even Yun showed some growth too. I love this team sooooo much. ;_; I'm so happy Shin-ah is happy.

Not much of a talker I guess lol

They made it into a big moment where he continues to acknowledge she is the daughter of king II, but am I the only one who couldn't help but see that as drop kicking him back in the friend zone?

It's interesting that everyone on this journey so far, except for Hak, has basically never really been in the "outside" world.

Sinha...moonlight...this is why I love other languages. There's so much meaning in that name. Sinha's chapter was very heartwarming and thinking back to his childhood made it end on a less bittersweet note. His enigmatic, silent nature makes him hilarious. "He's trying to drown himself!" That was gold.

It's because of the limited amount of episodes they were given to adapt the manga. If they were given the right amount of time for TG, I'm sure they would've done a good job.

Still hoping some romance will start to develop between Yona and Hak soon.

That's a nice name for the Blue Dragon - Shin-ah (moonlight).

Haha I laughed when Yun called Yona with her normal name and not princess. Everyone especially Hak wanted to call her also this way. And again a really nice scene between Hak and Yona, they're a such a cute pair.

Next episode we see Su-won again? Hmmm....let's see.

What a great episode! Hak is such a boss---bursting through the wall all by himself. And all the feels this episode, Seiryuu deciding to travel with Yona, realizing that he no longer needs the Talisman of the original Ao, and when he gets his new name "Shinah". I have to admit, I was very skeptical of AnY because it is a shoujo series but I am liking it more and more.

Oh and Green Dragon? Must be a pot-smoker...

SINHA IS SO CUTE. c:

Hak got "princess zone".

But nah, he's a unique one because he's the only one who can call her that. She lost her father, her people and her kingdom except for her childhood friend, and that is no other than Hak. He's the only one who knows about her "royal life" back then. She just wants to be remembered that she's still the princess.

So I'm really rooting for Hak x Yona.
