I remember liking this, but it has been over 8 years since the last time I watched it, very interesting, I will have to rewatch it again, I love that opening
Samuel Baker
>tsundere S chinese loli queen with manservant Shushou was born to be served, the little girl is a fucking legend.
>>guy who challenges the fucking gods to strike him down He had a point, the Gods are idiots, as a ruler you can be a real ass for the people without consequences if you're smart enough to not stretch to far heavens patience. Which if fucked up for the peasants that have no voice in the matter.

I just started reading the book last night and it's really bad. It feels like it was written by some teenager who has never actually read a fantasy novel and just filled it with a bunch of fantasy cliches they heard about. The feminist message is also too obvious and heavyhanded. I'm only like 30 pages in so I hope it gets better.
Adrian Gutierrez
This is my favorite fantasy from Japan and Yoko is my waifu. Unfortunately, there isn't much to tell anymore but it's an excellent show. Great character development. Bumping this thread out of respect.

Julian Jenkins
It needs a remake. It's still on hiatus right?
Robert Brown
>The feminist message Puff... laughable, you. Can't see a simple female character without being "triggered".
Robert Morgan
You sound like the one who's triggered here, m8.
Justin Butler
He really did nothing wrong, yeah. The gods are dicks. That's some damn fucking inequality. Be a peasant, die at 40 from breaking your back farming 10 hours a day on two bowls of rice and a few handfuls of weeds a day. Be a noble, wealthy beyond imagination, a dozen servants scrubbing your floors 24/7, and immortal to boot.
Haven't read the novels but it's my next step. All the similar sounding names will fuck my shit up. Kiki and keikei and keiki and kikei and kokei and kikou... Like fuck's sake, I know you chinophiles have more consonants than just k.
Opening was alright but not great.
Julian Torres
Name 1 girl in this show better than pic related
protip: you can't

>feminist message nigga you what? imagine being so indoctrinated that you can't see a competent female lead without screaming "feminism"
Charles Rogers
Everyone. She's even worse than woe-is-me girl, because at least she cared about other people and wasn't obsessed with playing dress-up.
Youko and dead oneesan are the only good girls in this. The boys are all perfection though.
If it's pre-2010 it isn't tumblr-tier "feminism" by default. Fucking youngfags need to fuck off. It's a girl who can use a sword and has responsibilities she meets. That's not "feminist", it's just called "competent." Calling every decently written female "feminist" is an insult to women. Hell, this didn't even have grrrl power shit in it. Just decent writing and clothes that cover more than their tits and cunt.
Easton Thomas
She is not bad, but her story only started, she really didn't much to deserve the trophy. You only likes her because she is pretty.
Blake James
>the moment when Yoko stopped being shit
Owen Gutierrez
2022 is the year we'll finally get a remake.
Angel Wood
Doesn't need a remake, needs a continuance.
Colton Morales
I remember really enjoying it. Too bad it got cut short.
Isaac Cook
I'd settle for a series of movies, KnK style
Henry Sanchez
Criminally underrated, my favorite anime by far. Just the world-building is enough to get me diamonds.
Ethan Wood
>That's not "feminist", it's just called "competent. You're right but with the state of female characters in anime it stands out enough to feel 'feminist'. It's 100% a positive thing though, since it just means interesting, well written girls. It doesn't have a political agenda, but it doesn't treat women like useless eye candy and it's the sort of thing a young girl can watch, relate to the characters and feel inspired by their growth.
