THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Fortunately, he shut his eyes to show he doesn't intend to stone them before getting the mask. Try to escape and care for the princess, Seiyuu use more action than speaking. Childhood guy digged faster than them. Like that little animal, the princess understands him. The bell fell when left, but he didn't pick up as he doesn't need it.

lol @ BL feeling between Hakuryuu & Seiryuu because Hakuryuu was being overtired and flushing. After Seiryuu calling the princess by her name, everyone wants to be more close to her. Only the childhood guy was told to call her Princess so that she can remember where she's from. She finally thought of Seiryuu's name, Shin-ah, which means moonlight. After a night's rest, Hakuryuu finally can sense Ryokuryuu.

Cousin guy's turn next? Also new OP and ED finally (http://www.marv.jp/special/yona/news.html#n043).

Escaping without danger, Hak looked pretty awesome when he bursted through the wall. Blue Dragon agreeing to follow Yona through her journey. :/ Not remembering the face of the person he valued so much, glad the endless cycle was finally put into an end!

Ki-ja overreacting to Blue Dragon's action was hilarious xD

Hak being the only one having to call her Princess, feels more special than anything! Feels nice to see how Yona faces her past through this way too.

To mean moonlight seems pretty wonderful, a silent guide that illuminates the night sky. The Green Dragon being next, I tend to think green often means hyperactive.

Overall a slow yet meaningful episode. For some reason, I find the name calling part to be cute. And right now, we have the Blue Dragon joining the group, an important part imo since his skills could be quite valuable for their journey.

That Hak hug though.

That's because the director and staff of Akatsuki no yona are different. I don't think it's just Pierrot's fault.

Why is this series so good >.<!!

Lol'd at Hak and Kija's interactions as usual :P Throwing a towel on his face saying "RIP" XDXD

Shin-Ah (Seems HS decided to use Sinha) calling Yona by her name and the reactions was so fun XD

Some may think Hak was just totally "Call me Hime" Zoned but that scene was way too serious to be interpreted like that. The meaning behind it showed how special Hak is rather than zone him ^^ Amazing depiction of the emotions. And Dat VAing!

The scenery during the Shin-Ah naming scene was so beautiful! And Shin-Ah telling Ao his name was really sweet :3

Yun's conversation with Yona was really nice too.

Can't wait for the nxt ep. Liked that part in the manga :3

Loved it. I can't get enough of my Yona. Dat personal conflict was real yo. And Sinha is a perfect name for the Blue Dragon. Next week looks to bring a bit more of the action and comedy back rather than the sad and dark atmosphere of the Blue Dragon arc.

Another great episode. That scenery at the end with the moon was striking and Shin-ah is a perfect name for the blue dragon.

Unlike Yoon and the dragons, Hak's relationship with Yona goes much deeper and calling her by her title so they both won't forget is really meaningful.

Shin-ah is too precious >< I understand why Yona would cry at the thought that no one else in his village is willing to understand Shin-ah's kindness. He's happy that he's finally gotten a name, and unlike anyone else, the name is something he will treasure. There's a lot of things people would want to treasure, tangible or not, but because everyone else was given a name when they were born, they wouldn't know how much it means to Shin-ah. I like that. He also looked so beautiful in the moonlight. Was a pretty scene.

One of the parts that had always left me a deep impression was the one where Yona tells Hak that he has to call her Princess, even if no one else does. Her reasoning behind it is really meaningful too. But yes, Hak will never forget that Yona is King Il's daughter. I really love their relationship. Also that huuuug <3

But hmm, was expecting a new ED since it's already into the second half. Or were they trolling with that announcement? :P

Edit: Wait nvm just checked to see the episode numbering...I thought it was going to be 24/25 episodes for some reason. Or is it just because two cours is not specific enough to know the number of episodes. Well there's no rule for when the second ED should start I guess.

Has anybody else read the manga? According to the preview for next week, they're going back to Soo-Won... I'm confused as to why the animators chose to skip to chapter 44 to show Soo-Won and General Geun-Tae already..... Any ideas? I was really looking forward to seeing Ryoukuryuu next week. (T_T)

Oh well, it'll come eventually.

Also, in regards to this episode: SHIN-AH IS PRECIOUS. (*_*)

Moonlight-san should just say something dammit. His not saying anything makes for some amusing scenes though. I like how Hak teases Kija. Lol blaming him for what's happening to Sinha. The comedy continues to feel nice.

Everyone wants to call the hime-sama by her name. So much jealousy. I like how Yona stops Hak from calling her by her name. She wants at least someone to remember that she was the daughter of the late king Il. That was nice.

Green Dragon man looks like he'll be a Hak-like guy. Judging by his looks in the OP and ED, I'd say that he looks like a leader type guy, not like Kija but a total badass. Would be great to have another cool character other than Hak.

Oh yeah, no wonder I thought, "wait, we're already at Soo-Won and Geun-Tae?" Dang that's a lot of chapters in between...hmm. Maybe it's because they still want to include going back to Soo-Won (since you know, he gets a lot of hate and he need some chara development), but they don't want to end the anime at that point. Assuming there's no anime original ending, I can see them ending it around when (minor spoiler)
at this pacing instead of Soo-Won visiting Geun-Tae.

As expected Shin-ah is so adorable haha. And I have to say, Hak and Yona's silent hug after he rescued her was beautiful. I'm glad it was kept simple. So many other great moments too, but I'll leave it at that

The preview was so disappointing though, I'm tired of waiting for the green dragon ;__; I ended up reading ahead a liiiiiiiittle bit in the manga and he's my favorite already (Hak is a close second), don't tempt me to read more by making me wait pls

Akatsuki no Yona continue on his good character devellopement. Yona is such the sweetest princess ever :3

Shin-Ah finally got a name, with a poetic touch. He seemed pleased, running into the field like a kawaii~~ little girl.

Those people really were a bunch of bitch, after he saved all their little ass... Yona being all nice to them, she shouldn't have.

Hak also finally got a bit of attention, being her only reminder that she once was a princess and that she once had a loving father.

This show is just so good. Still quite slow. But so good. AND SO PRETTY. That moonlight naming scene and Yona and Hak by the river/lake thing. Also, White dragon TOTALLY protected Yona from having her face caved in by that rock. And i don't think ANYONE noticed.

His headdress is that big? xD Ah wait.. so it appears

And they're on the move again! Woah bromance haha, or more like a brother complex~

Okay.. it's a LOT bigger than I expected

Nice Yun x Yona bonding time, so freaking adorable

Sinha? Doesn't sound Japanese... in fact it's been bothering me for a while that this anime in general doesn't seem to take place in Japan. Some of the names and other aspects of the characters such as clothing and the buildings remind me of Korea. Is it just me??

Hak only pulls those jokes because he wants Yona to think herself as a normal girl even though deep inside he will always consider her as a princess over a normal girl. Harboring feelings for her from a young age, he grew up knowing that he is never meant for her because of his status. Sadly though...



Not that it really matters but I just check the MAL score for AkaYona each week and I don't get disappointed, since it's always climbing. One of the most underrated shows.

That's even better than my idea haha. Hopefully that's the case then, and hopefully we can get a season two >< Either way, I'm kind of glad they're giving Soo-won some much needed screen time since the manga is so good with character development and it would be sad if people complain that he didn't get any.

There were a couple of silly moments which were meh... for me. Some of the comedic scenes felt a little off this time. Also, the way Shinha left the village didn't feel quite right. I couldn't quite follow how and why he decided to follow the princess and I didn't quite feel like the animosity between the villagers n him got resolved.

But this episode also had some really really strong and meaningful scenes too.

The combindation of music and VAing for Ao (previous blue dragon, not the squirrel) for the scene where the Shinha leaves his bells and finally moves on was amazing. Jeez, my eyes stung a bit hearing the heartbreak in his voice.

The scene with Yun finally acknowledging the princess and apologizing for his prejudice was nicely timed and felt really natural. Him calling her 'Yona' after that also felt really natural.

I liked how they slowly built up to the 'call me princess' scene. With Shinha calling her Yona first, then Yun wanting to call her Yona, and when she was looking at the reflection and contemplating what her life was like such that she could so easily accept being called by her name, so that by the time she finally made the request, it felt really natural and meaningful. (Natural again, but I can't think of another word to describe how well they wrote in the scenes). It also helped that the music and atmosphere of the scene was really well done (props to the production team)

Yona's request to Hak to call her princess was really powerful. She's changed a lot since her royalty days, and u could say that she doesn't dislike her current lifestyle surrounded by ppl she trusts and loves, but she still doesn't want to forget her duty and her origins. It also shows how special Hak's relationship to her is.

And finally, Shinha's name. Ah, that scene was really nicely done. One of the most beautifully done scenes I've seen.
The most annoying thing about some anime is that they don't know when they've died...

Boy, that was a heavy arc, but enjoyable nevertheless. Blue Dragon finally receiving his name, was a touching moment. He is a strange and funny character from the way he tries to show his appreciation from the warm approach of Yona & Gija.

Can't wait to see Shinha's ability with his sword, his cameo appearance earlier in the series with the others in battle got me hyped.

Man, I wish they showed how Shin-ah and Ao (the squirrel) met but my memory seems hazy when did they met again. Oh well.

Since, I finally understand what changes are they're talking about, switching Volume 7 & 8, so more Soo-won and this is a 2-cour show
