Beautiful. So Hak is the clan's chief. He was so cool as always. And the conversation
with his grandfather was touching. I loved it. Looking forward to the next episode!(:

So they are now in the Wind Tribe's capital...

Damn, Tae-yon is so freaking cute but his illness! Good decision, Hak, but the NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW, can't wait for it. I still do have some BG music problems, but nevertheless, great episode. Although I still think that this'll be one of the most underrated animes this season.
The world shall know the truth soon.

Nice to see Hak's hometown, not being an enemy to them. Things are getting serious now at the end there, and the preview for next week looks amazing. Its only the beginning when the Wind Tribe is setting things up for their home town.

I liked this episode. I am curious about what Soo-Won is planning and all. Might as well start reading the manga. The series is nice so far.

Yona, or should I say Rina, should be safe in the custody of the wind tribe. Hak's younger brother sure is cute being helpless. Hak's last request is common in his character.

This show is very enjoyable thus far.

Also, is it just me, or does the ending theme sound like the 5th opening for FMA: Brotherhood?

Given the methods employed, e.g. it's perfectly fine to kill Yona without ever really trying to get her to marry Soo-Won or resigning or whatever, and that they dam a river and attack merchants without the wind tribe ever lifting a finger..

They don't even know that Hak and Yona are there, and they've begun long before the elder came back, too. So Soo-Won, or someone acting in his name most likely sent a message before the elder ever left the castle.

Given that, Soo-Won defintively isn't just some kind of anti-hero, even if it's for the good of the kingdom and even if it should turn out that he was fooled (e.g. by his assissant, who is somehow way more interested in getting results than Soo-Won).

Anyways, hope they'll start the "real" deal soon, with Yona and her team. It's nice to see how she got there, and she's way too cute when she was younger, but they teased us at the start with her assembling a team etc., unless they planned for a second season from the start they will run out of time with this pace.

I thought this episode was much better than the last, but I'm wondering if the sound problem is because of Studio Pierrot or Crunchyroll.

I really love the music in here!

Sometimes it feels louder than the voices (since im watching this on my TV) but i think that's what makes it better. I've never watched an anime where i can 'actually' hear/feel the music happening. And it makes the scene much better.

That cuteness that is the little brother of the Hak in love with him * --- *
Can not wait to see Yona start getting stronger. Hak at least had an idea of his grandmother to ally with other tribes, so that the wind does not leave hampered because of political conflicts, anxious for the next episode ^^

Yay no more flashbacks. We get that you three are good buddies from the first episode, please no more oh my god

This show though for all my hopes is getting really boring, too slow too linear, I want to cut this show in half so it will pick up the pace. Still waiting for the real heroine from the PV to show up. Oh and this little childish fiddle with the fire tribe will be a nuisance in the next episode, Hak will just maim every single person, and I predict Yona will be in the way and kill everyone in the wind tribe or grandpa could just say 'yes' cause its inevitable.

Still watching cause of people saying it will be good sigh

Damn Fire Tribe! There at it again with their wars and shenanigans!

Soo-Won as also entered the shenanigans war. The King body wasn't even cold that he was already thinking how to become the king. What a treacherous bastard.

Hak looked relieved when he saw the princess smile again. That's what made him take that decision. But it's a bad decision, because he never asked her. Maybe she would to stay with him or simply avenge her father. Well, that's what I get from the next episode preview.

It was great to see the Yona come back to life again. She was really soulless.

So Hak's going back home to the wind clan eh.

Freaking Su-won and his scheming to take the throne.

Awwww, Hak's younger brother was really cute :3

So the fire tribe is working for Su-won and trying to cause trouble for the wind tribe and Hak.

Poor Tae-yeon T.T

So Hak intends to leave the wind tribe and Yona so that Su-won and the fire tribe would stop going after them.

It really bothered me that those dinky little dams were able to stop the river... I mean unless they divert the flow into another drainage, that water is going to go down that valley eventually!

I was hoping that Hak would at least tell Mundok that Soo-won was the one responsible for the king's death, even if he'd still have to keep up appearances. I think Mundok has his suspicions, but I'd have liked for it to be more explicit.

Looks like next time Hak will have to save the princess again, but it looks like she might find some resolve in the process.

Oh no!!! They are now stripping off some of the comedy stuff from the manga so that they can animate a lot of material.
I guess it can't be help But if they do skip something a lot of thing next time I will definitely get angry with them!

Personally, I've found the only part of Akatsuki no Yona I've disliked thus far is the comedy. It's generic and dull. Unless the good comedy is being cut out while all the trite scenes are left, I'm perfectly fine with this. I think AnY would be much better as a full fledged drama.

Anyway, LOVED THIS EPISODE. The final few minutes were powerful as fuck. Oh man, I love Hak. He's such a respectable dude. Soo-won is also as cool as always. I really don't get the feeling that Soo-won is a "villain" - the Fire Tribe appears far more villainous. Soo-won seems more like someone pursing justice. If King Il really did kill his brother, I don't think Soo-won wrong in what he's doing, either.

Man I can't wait for everything to develop.

I think that Hak's tribe is named appropriately - generally friendly and warm as a gentle breeze but will most likely be fierce and powerful as a windstorm when they need to be.

Tae-Yeon was so adorable while Heang-dea and Tae-woo were so hilarious especially when they were making fun of Hak.

Hak continues to impress in this episode as he displayed his leadership and authority and came up with his plan at the end.

Hak's a beast and I like seeing Yona get a fat dose of reality in the most brutal way possible. I don't dislike Yona, though. I actually really liked the spoiled, naive princess thing she had going, but it's still fun to see her suffer. Evidently, she's going to go through a LOT of change, I'm excited to see her character develop throughout the series.

4/5

The timing in the story are good, Yona just now recovering from trauma, while the political issues going on.
Funny gags that played down the atmosphere.
Drawings adequate level of almost the whole story, OST sung to the context.
I wonder when will Yona will start to be bad!

Not surprising, but man Soo-Won really is ruthless. :/ Attacking all these innocent people to get to the throne. And it looks like Hak (and presumably Yona) will be leaving the Wind Tribe. Shame since I already like them. The old chief is a really nice guy too!

It's following along with the manga pretty well so far. The princess was annoying in the beginning of it too but really gets better and grows as a character. Some little things are missing so far but that Always seems to happen when they adapt them.

Not bad I guess, though I find the way they stopped the river pretty unrealistic. You just CAN'T stop the river like that.

And I'm not fan of the comedy when they are trying to build some drama as others have already mentioned.

I think old-man is going to die soon. And Yona will be denied of her life in safety not long after that.
I wonder when she learns harsh ways of the life.

I like how even though Yona's beautiful, guys aren't being the stereotypical shoujo/reverse harem guys where they fall head over heels for her for absolutely no reason. They treat her normally. Guys aren't falling in love with her left and right unlike in most harem and reverse harem series where it makes absolutely no sense at all why all these characters are falling for a boring girl/guy.

So Hak and Yona managed to reach the wind-tribe clan. Really friendly people and we a lot of Hak's old friends. Nice that he also have a little even if he's not his real brother. Tae-yeon is pretty cute but unfortunately he has weak lungs.

The fire clan dammed the river and attacked the traders. Lol at that Sake scene >.<
So Hak will leave the clan? Hmm let's see how this will go on. Overall solid episode.
