Re: otyaku.com confirms

I visited otyaku.com today. I guess ToyokoPop is going to release the Twelve Kingdoms in english in March of 2007. Harunako is going to take down the contents of his novel translations. He doesn't know exactly when. I'll be sorry to see the site go. Here is the link if you want to read it. (http ...

I've been stuck at Vol 4 of Samurai 7 for 2 months, hard to continue because I cannot accept Kyuzo's death. :(

Sara appears in an episode between 130-135, I think (not sure) it is episode 134, shortly after the Band of 7. I like her fluting, so sad that the sound pierces the listener's heart.

I like episode 162 but my favourite is still the panther demon episode. I laugh at it, it's like a cat-dog fight ...

Rumiko Takahashi draws very well. Sesshomaru has girl problems for sure, just look at the fanatism around him. I wonder why Sesshomaru is drawn more beautiful than Inuyasha and their father actually looks like Sesshomaru. He appears only for a short bit in the series and in movie 3.

I saw a fan art of Youko and Rakashun. Romantic sweet but I don't know why I did not buy it. That was the only 12k souvenir I saw.

Another interesting item was an elegant cross stitch of Sesshomaru, it was stitched to perfection and marked "not for sale".

I've actually only watched up to episode 50. I've been reading the manga. After they caught up to the manga, they started doing filler episodes. (Not all the episodes were filler) Which were't as good as the manga, becasue Rumiko Takahashi(author) didn't write them. Yes, I agree she has repeated ...

Thanks Shannon, sigh. That is assuring. I watched IY up until episode 120. I'm not sure if Kikyo comes back to life after episode 120. From what I read in some fan forums, it seems she actually comes back to life. If true, she will be a menace to Kagome. She won't give up her grip on her lover dead ...

Hi,

IY is too long. It has characters and themes that are well developed, simple enough for a child to understand, deep enough for adults to appreciate, but 167 episodes is too long! I feel that after episode 120, the author seems to stope developing on the themes and instead we see a lot of messy ...

It was Kourin who brought Sugimoto and Asana to the 12 kingdoms, not Keiki.

I don't know how they will resolve the inconsistencies between the novels and animation if they continue with the animation because the rule that only senins can cross between worlds is a key factor in Shore at Twilight ...

Kouya is a sen, but became a "god" (for some outstanding deed in helping the regular people living in the yellow sea) in the years following his "adventure" with En-ou and Enki. The Taiki arc comes about 450 years or so after this. Is that what you were wondering?

I cannot decide what to include. What do you want in a 12k fan website?
