| That was an enjoyable series. I found it really compelling to the point that I lost track of time and finished it swiftly. I liked the whole story, how waging wars intertwined with daily life, plot development and the characters. They also wrapped up things nicely except the Yuzuha's part. It's kinda surprising Hakuoro possess supernatural powers which he used to save Aruruu but he couldn't cure Yuzuha's illness. The last scene was really moving, especially when Hakuoro parted away with Eruruu and exclaimed to "stay there", but she leapt into his arm, embraced him and kissed him finally. It was sad alone but with this touching music playing in the background I almost become watery-eyed. Kimi ga Tame - what a marvelous song! I'm also glad she openly stated her feelings. I really hope we will see their reunion in the future. OST in this anime is truly decent. Usually I skip the opening, but this time I listened to it in every episode. I'll really miss this series. I wish they would adapt the 3 season soon. 9/10 overall. Fai said: Yuzuha was ill after all. She never would have lived long. Yuzuha plays a very important role in the story but pretty much entirety of it was cut in the anime. As for why she was there, well the anime omitted it but it is still canon - Thanks for clarification. Now I feel somehow disgruntled because anime omitted some important parts. To completely experience Utawarerumono storyline and unravel new facts I have to play the VN since it's more complex and detailed. Totally forgot that was the main purpose of anime - to advertise the VN. ehh I wish they had LN. |
| Despite its flaws (particularly surrounding the sci-fi elements and how they were introduced and some of the antagonists being really underwhelming), I liked the first game and enjoyed the characters and progression there. But with this anime adaptation and rewatching it, I felt really disappointed in the adaptation feeling super rushed and having many characters that had moments to shine and build bonds with feel really hollow due to a time constraint. The Kuuya arc was terribly executed in the anime and the last few episodes have been an extreme mess too. The parting was bittersweet in the VN despite some flaws like hinted before but the anime didn't come close to delivering on those emotions since it did a poor job with the cast in my opinion compared to what it could have been. It ain't the worst game/VN adaptation ever but this was massively underwhelming as a whole with many things sadly. |
| this was insane. really good ending; had me tearing up. I still have a ton of questions though. |

| It was decent, if infuriating at times. I hate how in anime people just stand around rather than attacking their enemies. Happens too often in this show. Like when that old guy antagonist confronts Hakurou in the burning building and he runs off. Hakurou and team just... lets him? Old man can't run that far or fast, lol, you telling me nobody could have caught him?? Unlikely. I'd have had to throw it in Touka's face about how she claims to be all noble and fighting for justice... fighting for the side that slaughtered a whole village of women and children. Real noble. When he catches up with Kuuya, instead of any recrimination about the killing of his people and most notable Aruruu, he wants to give her a hand. Then there is Uratori. She knew all along everything about him, and knew he was desperate for any clues to his missing memory, and said nothing. I'd have given her some serious shit when I returned after she let him know she knew all about it. Then he still doesn't want to fight Mutsumi, after she too slaughtered a shitload of innocents with her satellite attack. Not enough people getting called on their bullshit in this show, lol. But those gripes aside, it was decent. |
| Very competent ending episode from this series. Kept you guessing and wondering as to what Hakuoro's past was, as well as his real identity, and it cleared many of those questions up in the end with concise and tragic flashbacks. But it is rather bittersweet, as Yuzuha died offscreen in the end. An inevitability without Tuskur around to provide the curatives, but shocking nonetheless. But this was an enjoyable anime all round, with how it continued to innovate on its initially typical feudal setting through timely plot revelations. It also didn't shy away from depicting some of the more brutal, unforgiving aspects of the wartime scenarios, while still maintaining a tone of hopefulness when all is said and done. Still have more to ask about Mikoto, her child, and to what extent Hakuoro and Eruru were "reincarnations" of them, but it's not something I regard as a flaw. |
