| I was sorta expecting a second season a few episodes before the end and it seems like there's enough material as well so I really hope they make it because this anime was such a joy to watch :) Easily a 9/10 in my books |
| Great show ! Akatsuki no Yona is incredibly beautiful and fun to see. All the characters are extremely developed and are different. Season 2 please ! 9/10 Yona x Hak, my new wallpaper ! |
| yeah, i hope that there must be 2nd season! >.< And i have one question: if they both: Soo-won and Yona want to improve the city, why they should to fight? if they have one aim?? |
 |
| WHY DIDNT SHE GET WITH HAK. I want that to happen so bad! |
  |
| A 2nd season is necessary for this... I still don't know why the Yellow dragon isn't "awakened," if Su-Won is really bad or good even if he killed King Il, what the Sky Clan is waiting for, nor what Yona is going to do about Su-Won. It's a very complex situation indeed. My guess is that land splits from tensions within the kingdom and the Sky Clan alongside some other land joins Yona to fight Su-Won for some reason that hasn't been brought up yet. Maybe she tries to expose King Il's death or something. |
| I just love how exactly in the final episode they questioned "hey now after we found all 4 dragons what are we supposed to do? Hurr idk lol ,derp around some more I guess..." Meh as someone who likes series such as Seirei No Moribito as well as shoujo series alike ,this was just barely above average.Not much to say in the action department,not much in the romance department as well, just the hunt for the 4 bishonens and that was pretty much it not much else.World building was nothing to special,the reverse harem was obviously there for the girls to wet their panties,at least the princess wasn't as insufferable and whiny as I initially thought so there's that to the series credit. I fell like the overuse of comedy and chibi crap really hurt the series overall,like you couldn't have any remotely scene happening without some ham-fisted comedy inserted like a handbrake. |
| I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions. |
| What a wonderful series to watch. The plot feels like it has a long way to go, making this season feel like one big origin story but the multiple arcs were all entertaining in their own way so it wasn't much of a problem. The characters were all really great. Yona is a lovable MC who grew throughout the series (not as much as i would have liked but whatever). All the other side characters were interesting in their own way and the character relations in this show were spectacular to watch. My one complaint is that the blue dragon didn't really do much after his arc. He is the silent type, so its to be expected, however i would have liked for him to be more involved with the rest of the group. The art and animation was actually quite good, even becoming great when it needed to be. All the character designs were a treat to the eyes and there weren't any major faults to be found. The OST was solid. Nothing memorable but it accompanied the show quite well. Overall i had a blast with this show and really hope that a season 2 is on the way. 9/10 |
| 10/10 It started quite slow , but I grew loving it more and more as it carried on , would love a second season for this. Will definitely be picking up the manga. |

Overall i had a blast with this show and really hope that a season 2 is on the way. 9/10 I agree; character development was excellent, although I also feel Shin-Ah should have conversed and socialized more with the others. HCe 's just... there. I found Hak and Jae-Ha very entertaining. I would have enjoyed a bit more romance, but under the circumstances... we'll just have to wait season 2, or the OVA. Rating 9/10. |
| If Yona still loves Soo-Won, i'm gonna be pissed! Most surprising series 9/10!~ |

slightly-angelic said: Hmm. It's hard to talk about body positions when we have no idea what went on in that room before Yona found them. Maybe King Il wasn't expecting Soo-won to put a sword through him? Or if he was...perhaps he wasn't trying to make an effort to get away. I say that because it's been hinted that King Il isn't the coward that people view him to be. Perhaps he's the very opposite of that, and faced death with courage? I mean, the guy did grab a sword with his bare hands and hid any sign of pain behind his smile. *shrugs* Possibly. I'd believe it if Il allowed Soo-won to kill him. |
| Excellent show! I hope there's a second season. Otherwise, I'm definitely going to read the manga. I adore the characters. They are so well written and dynamic. 8/10 SEASON 2 WHEN |
| the show is good for what it is.. would have preferred less happy-go-lucky type comedy and shorter character intro arcs and more politic side of the phaggot king though.. easy 8/10 in my book any yona needs to grow her hair out again before she learns all these combat skills and become a full blown dyke |
 |
| Steady. Deliberate. Methodical. ^Just a few key words I use to describe this series. Akatsuki no Yona is honestly quite simple in terms of its story, but its characters are anything but (especially Yona and Su-won, holy cow). It is one great example of how much good execution matters. Any gripes I had (I did have a few ) were easy to forgive and forget. I haven't enjoyed an adventure series like this much in a long while, and I hope we get to see more of the story in animated form. Best moments for me were ALL of episode 22 and the close ups of Yona's fiery determined eyes, especially in eps. 5 and 21. Gave me chills and and just an overall feeling of "f*** yeah!"  |
| The last few episodes were really good. Except for the captain still swinging mighty words like "already tired?" and stuff, when she was enjoying her pipe. Heck, she even said she would join the fight earlier, and there she is, standing around lazy, enjoying herself and complaining that it's not going fast enough, when it's the dragons and Hak doing all the work, with her ragtag team already out of the picture. Anyways, the beginning and some parts of the search were really slow, but it got better past half-time or so. Looking forward for more. |
| I REALLY want Yona and Hak to get together... SO. BADLY. I ended up watching the last 22 episodes in one day... and I'm tired. It's noon and I haven't slept yet... I kept on saying, "Just one more episode." But no, I watched 8 more episodes after I said that... Anyways, I really love this anime! It's one of my favorites now. :) Does anyone else get the feeling that Yona might actually have a power like the other dragons? I mean, technically she IS the descendant of the crimson dragon, so I think it would make sense. With those fiery eyes (episode 22), I thought she was going to light that one dude on fire or something O.O Also, does anyone know when season two will come out? I need the second season right now. |

| I started this series thinking, "Ah man, what a generic dump of a show. Well I'm watching it with people so let me not cause a scene and at least sit in silence". The first few episodes were eh, but I found that as it went on, I enjoyed it a lot more. The characters became more than just blah generic characters. Generic isn't exactly fitting. This show went back to basics, and sometimes I think that's what shows need nowadays. There's so much work being done to make the next big thing, but Akatsuki no Yona uses an older, more simple formula; the formula isn't worn out either, but they keep it fresh just by keeping it alive. Folks traveling on a journey to create/restore peace (or something like that)-- yeah, we've seen that a lot, but there is something about Yona that makes you care about the characters a bit more, and the characters are important in this type of story. Anyway, I'm glad I took my head out of my ass and watched the show for what it was. Time well spent. I really didn't like Ao though. The folks I was watching it with squeal every time Ao appeared; I couldn't help but find Ao to be an annoying rodent upon its first appearance. The people I watched it with also liked Yona and Hak, and I'm kinda more like, "Nah, I kinda like Yona and Yun", but what can you do? I already know Yona and Hak are more likely, but meh. Toovanilla,toocliche. |
| That was a decent-ish open ending, though I'm definitely hoping for a second season. Zeno is a bit of a mystery. Are we supposed to assume that they told him everything already, or did he indirectly admit to having followed Yona and Hak ever since the beginning? If the latter is true, it would explain why he didn't have an "awakening" in this episode; he would have already had it way earlier. It's too bad that we can only wonder for now. To be honest, it feels more like we just finished watching the prologue to the actual story. For a long time Yona has seemed "only" above average to me, yet every week I found myself looking forward to it more than any other show. It's just fun to watch, even if it is simple. I think Swiggy's description of "back to the basics" translates the idea I'm going for well. A story doesn't need to do something "never seen before" to be great. I'll probably end up following the manga if there's no announcement or strong hint toward a second season by the end of the year. I really do want to see what the writer has in mind for this. It's an excellent setup. |
| This definitely needs a second season.. After watching this whole series w/in 2 days, I'm itching to know what happens next. I want to know what Yona plans to do with the 4 dragons, what's with Soo-won (and if he's really a bad person), and who she ends up with. I was initially supposed to watch this when this was anime started, but put it on hold till I have nothing else to do. Glad I was finally able to start on it. Interesting story and characters. |

Spica_Fray said: I would like to mention the fact that there has been some talk that a season 2 should come out sometime in June 2015, Hope it is true and happy hunting. Until then reading the manga is a good way to wait. :3 That's when the BD/DVD comes out. Sales should give a rough idea as to whether this will get a sequel. |
| I am drooling for a second season! But until then, I'll gorge myself on the manga version. |
| 臭い- |
| if this doesn't get a 2nd season this will have been the greatest time waste of a show i've watched to date. I love the overarching story, i disliked the fluff that was putting the band together. I was immensely bored with everything besides the green dragon's arc.....I had hope last episode something would develop but nope, it just wasn't meant to be. Although i desire badly to give this a 6/10, I'll give it a 7/10 given the hope of a 2nd season....hopefully it will actually get a 2nd season... |

| *still praying to Ye Anime Gods for a second season* In the meantime, omg the manga is beautiful and amazing! <3 |
| A-MAZ-ING!! Time to start the manga :) |
| tl;dr read the manga the ending was left open so you could do that. Anime most of the time is just advertising y'all know, right? |

| I know I'm late to the party but to save my sanity...*prays* anyone know the song that play at the end of the episode when Hak was holding Yona in the cave? They played that tidbits that pull my heartstrings so hard and I couldn't find it anywhere. The name..I assumed performed by Akiko Shikata..? |

I assume that you're not referring to Akatsuki no Yona Ending 2, but that tidbit just before the end? If that's where you're talking about I'm unsure, but the singer does indeed sound like Akiko Shikata. |
 |
| Poor Jeno got shoved in as an afterthought... Sigh. |
     |
| I'm interested with Zeno. I need more of him, or rather I need more of this series. I'm hoping for a second season. This is a great series. Now, we have to wait for the OVA :D 9/10 |
  |
| I gave 8/10 ang I dislike this nothing happen, maybe because no development in the journey for me. Well i read the manga after this. I like the comedy most then plot, my fav are Shin-ah(so much) and Hak. Well.. the anime stop when mot of the story and development start i think (not read yet). Till then. |
| Skill 1 - Mask Maker. Skill 2 - Binding Spell. Skill 3 - Conceal Darkness. Skill 4 - Mind Shield.. |
| Great show but really disappointing ending. Basically we spent 24 episodes watching her gather all 4 dragons only so we can see they do nothing after that. Recommendations are really wrong about this show. Talk about betrayal and revenge got me interested in this show but we saw only first one. But it was still fun and highly entertaining show. |
