The story was one of the more intriguing ones I've seen, although after the first episode I was a bit skeptical about Yona. It didn't seem like she would change or get better but I stuck around anyway. One of my best choices in anime! The story really picked up and the introduction of the other characters helped propel the story and keep it interesting.
The characters were fantastic! Yona's development is still the best development of a character that I have seen. Hak, and the other characters were all believable and fun and they helped lighten the mood at some of the series darker points. I've only watched the Japanese dub but I loved the casting choices, they all fit the characters perfectly.
Overall, I enjoyed this series immensely (so much so I started the manga and caught up in about three days). If you are trying to decide if this show is worth your time, it definitely is. Don't miss out on Akatsuki no Yona!
