The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

Well, it's not a big mistake and it won't make a U turn on the story

There's a translation error on 22:51. Kantai should have said, "I wonder if the other girl was able to escape"

Reckless Angel, I'm not confusing Enki's. Just watch the chapter 11 at 7 min and 26 secs. The sage Shoshun tells him all the story about En and especifically mentions that after Kyo-ou was taken down, the "Next Enki was unable to find an emperor". This means that there was an Enki after Kyo-ou's ...

That happened to En isn't it? The former emperor strayed, killed many people and almost destroyed the kingdom. Then the next Kirin of En couldn't find an emperor and died or something. Then the current Enki appeared, but it has already passed more than 20 years without an emperor of En.

It's been said that there can only be one Kirin being taken care of at Mt. Hou. So if the Ranka of Kou is there, then Hourin/ki is not there and I doubt that a 2/3 years old Hourin/ki is able to select an emperor.

I think it was not neccesary to kill Hourin anyways. But it's obvious that Gekkei ...

I think that Reckless Angel may have a reason. The sons are born with the features from both his/her parents, thus a son from JK would have the features from them. In the case of a Taika, when the Ranka settles into the womb of a japanese mom, it's take the features of his/her japanese parents. When ...

Being Media Blasters, I can bet they'll put the 5 eps in a single layer dvd instead of dual.

Shinkun, I think you forgot that the Kirins keep growing until after they select an emperor according to what's been said here. Enki didn't select an emperor nor made that ceremony until he returned to Juuni Kokki with En-ou.

Now, I have something interesting. What happens in the end of the rule of ...

Well, if you want sorta spoilers you can check
http://www.12kokuki.com/shouhin/kodansha/x_book.html
It's the goods/books section of the official anime page.
Here you can check the covers and introduction (if you can read japanese)of the novels and get an idea of what happens/will happen in each.

Yup, it's a translation mistake. Keiki says "Me dake wa tojinuyo!" meaning just don't close your eyes. the japanese use "nai" for verb's negavite form but they use "nu" sometimes, and AH-AC confused that tojinuyo for tojiruyo (the verb's present affirmative). The pronunciation difference is very ...

Now Shinkun, there's something that will need a good explanation in the future. They mention that a Kirin stops growing after it matures, or according to you after the Tenchoku. Taiki still grew to an highschooler age.

Another thing that I noticed is that every kirin that was raised in Mt Hou seems ...

Well, at least they are cheaper than other japanese DVD releases. Vandread, GITS-SAC, and others: 2eps/dvd for 5800 yens. While JK was 2 eps/3700 for vol. 1 and then 3 eps/4800 and on.

Actually when I watched chapter 23, I already guessed how the thousand miles of wind, sky of dawn saga would end. After watching chapter 39 I'm really satisfied and repeated it over 5 times :P. Can't wait for the subbed vid to check those bits that I didn't undestand.

I'd say a lot of things about ...
