Ah, sweet Apollo, has this viewing experience been uplifting.

Olympia Kyklos follows a young lad with a fine talent in the arts and wishes to live a simple life with his beloved Apollonia. Demetrius lives up to the name of the goddess he is named after since he is trying to achieve a sedentary way of life and goes against the antagonistic society trying to belittle his talent and push his life onto a different path. He is the greatest shonen protagonist of the century because he is believable, charming, wise and hard-working. Character: 10/10

What can be said about a story with the greatest protagonist ... in all of Greece? Surround him with fun villagers, greedy townsfolk, people from Tokyopolis and, of course, his beloved and faithful Apollonia and you are in for a treat with the ensuing shenanigans. Story: 10/10

This cultured Japanese animation brought a sense of nostalgia. I reminisced about my childhood when I also had a crush on a girl named Apollonia. She is the reason I am following the wise words of Apollo which have brought me to view this animation. Enjoyment: 10/10

Now, I must admit I am heartbroken. I would like to end this review with 10s all across the board, however, only Yodel no Onna, as I have dubiously explained in my review of it, shall have a 10/10 score as the greatest art piece of humankind. Just to differentiate this masterpiece from Apollo's manifestation, I am going to give a lower rating. Art&Sound: 8/10

By the power invested in me by the state of Oregon, I bestow this animation with a 9. Overall: 9/10 (because there can only be one)

I am the prophet Tiresias and if you would like to have an in-depth discussion about this masterpiece, hit me up at the local Theban bird-watching centre. Khaire!

Discovering Yodel no Onna has been the most powerful experience in my long, long lifetime and the turning point that led me to adopt a new philosophy that is even better than the philosophical teachings of my friends. Never have I felt so empowered. It is safe to say watching this masterpiece was a surreal, elevating, out of body experience that brought me closer to Apollo himself and his eternal wisdom.

If you embark on this wonderful journey, you will be presented with a complex narrative and unbelievably good believable characters that will lead you to another world, nay, a utopia for all of us seeking ... wisdom.

The music and the art are astonishing. Ah, this brought me back to the times I used to roam the hills of Kithairon and bask in its glory. The sound of yodelling is truly equal to the heavenly tunes of Apollo's lyre.

To end this review with a relevant quote from my buddy Pericles: "What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others." That is certainly the case with Yodel no Onna.

10/10 would watch again

Khaire!
