| What…is this new OP? How did it get past the brainstorming stage and into production? Didn't think much of this episode, and the new ED is…OK…but I guess I'll be skipping the OP from now on. It completely destroys the tone of the show. |
| Eww, what's up with the autotune in the opening? Doesn't fit this series at all, the first OP is way better. They could have picked some better pop song, at least :< Ending on the other hand - just beautiful. I love Akiko Shikata's voice, I recognized her immediately. Probably it also would have made a better opening song, shame. As for episode, I don't believe Su-won is just sightseeing, lolz. He is obviously scheming something bigger. It seems that Il wasn't such a good, kind king after all, so maybe it's all for the better. Yona probably won't be convinced that easily anyway. |

| Soo-won has proved to be a pretty boring villain thus far. I sincerely hope this is an act to cover up true evil. I now see no hint of the evil and ambition he had when he murdered his uncle, tore apart his own family, and made his rousing coronation speech. He has reverted back to "nice boy next door" status and it's rather disappointing. I hope he becomes more interesting soon. Hopefully all this nice guy fun and games is just a front for bigger plans. |
| I'm surprised. For a shoujo anime, this show has a surprising amount of depth. |
 |
| TO be honest this opening is just so bad I can't even describe it. Ending in the other hand is beautiful. ;) |

| ROFL, that hilariously bad new OP. It's not just the change in style, it is also just plain bad. Fortunately the new ED makes up for it. |

| Wow! That's pretty big change from a calming OP to a fast pace OP, and I really like the new one, it's very catchy, and keeping some of the previous images from the previous is pretty cool to watch how them fit with the new music. |

| New OP & ED are pretty good I personally like the ED more... |
 |
| lol I feel the same as everyone else-- 1st opening is better but this new ending is better lolol :P Ooouuuu~ does this mean we get to see a colosseum/fight ring type of match event between all generals? ;O interesting interesting |
AllenVonStein said: the new king isn't evil at all Reckon he is evil as fuck. He fucking murdered the old king in cold blood and tried to do the same to his best two friends from childhood. If not evil he is at least a sociopath. |
| its hilarious how Su plays dumb XD |
TicklingThoughts said: The new OP is good. The new ED is so beautiful. Yona being so emotional. I feel you, bruh. Don't worry, Hak and the other guys are there for you. T_T I feel like Soo-Won is up to something. Geun-Tae is funny, lol! their ruined the op, last song was way better & video & song don't fit together old song was way better |

| The new ending is breathtaking! Definitely one of my favorites. |
| "The will to live is stronger than anything else" |
| I don't even mind the half episode spent on Su Won's interaction with the Earth genera, Geun-teal! The new opening and ending make up for it! I personally love them more than the first ones. It really gives me the hype... |
  |
| The OP through me. It just doesn't fit and is such a departure from the wonderful instrumental opening, also the opening re-used too many scenes from the first half. Lazy. The ED though - haven't checked yet but the song is sung by Akiko Shikata isn't it? Really like it. The story itself. Another reminder for Yona that her father may have been a good father but a lousy king. I know that a lot of people have a problem with Su-Won but I actually really like him. He is devious, he wants to look harmless so that people underestimate him and when they do he shows is highly intelligent, cold and ruthless side. I also do not see him as a villain. Il was an awful king. |
| Why did they have to change the opening ?! The first one was so much better... This episode was pretty good ! (Though not as good as the ones covering Shin-Ah's arc...) We finally got Soo-Won back, I'm glad, he is such an intriguing character. It's nice to see more of the political aspect again. I also like Gun-Tae, he is like an older, depressed version of Hak. His assistant or whatever is also pretty funny. (When I think about it, there isn't a single character I don't like... That's a sign of Akatsuki No Yona being a very good show ! Not that I doubt it anyway.) I also liked the scene at the village. I still don't know what to think of King Il. I get what Hak means, but at the same time, he still let all those people suffer... It really makes you question what makes a good king, I like this aspect of the show. I feel bad for Yona though, she is a very strong young girl, but she has so much on her shoulders, I hope she won't break. I hope we'll meet the Green Dragon in the next episode, I am very intrigued to see how he's like. And as much as I like Soo-Won's scenes, I realize I actually really miss Yona's team when they're not on screen... I got myself very attached to them. |
 |
| Well the old King was quite ... minding his own business? Has to be hard for her to hear that. And what is the new King trying for? He can not possibly really want to rule ... like this? o.o |
 |
| New op is bangin! Just wish the actual show was just as awesome... now I love me some humour but I'm not exactly digging the goofy tone it goes for every few seconds; just doesn't fit an anime like this, ya feel me? Like yeah naturally I want some fun but I think I would've prefer like a more steady serious tone instead to match with the show's themes. Not really a criticism, more like a nitpick, but for me I feel like the tone is all over the place... |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Lol Su-won is actually a really nice guy. Killing Yona's dad wasnt even bad, since he was avenging his father. I like him. |
 |
| New op and ed songs! |
 |
| The comedy just didn't work with Su-won, it got stale very fast and I need this show to start picking up some pace because it feels like nothing happens. |
| Just what is he ploting behind that smile... also The OP and EDare great. |
| I'm going to miss the old OP and ED, especially the OP. Su won is not to be trusted by anyone, he's a schemer...but no one knows it but the Princess. |
