The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

um....... i can't remember who dies................... XD
I think a couple of them die.

IF you want a spoiler go rent the original the Seven Samurai by Kurosawa Akira.

you should see the movie

It's amazing.

Omg... where to start..
I"m a Manga addict, and that's where my true passion lies :P

Nana: Is good, but just pick one version of it to watch, or read there's the Manga (original), the live action movie, a Anime series starting in April, NANA the dating sim game, the PSP game, the credit card.. oh ...

Um... it's Anne McCaffery & the Dragon Riders of Pern.


(I LOVE THAT SERIES)

I've probably read all the books at least 3-4 times each.

Hmm well.
What if they sent some Sennin to explore?

They basically don't have to eat to stay alive ( example of... a.. that land lord that was trapped by his sun ( in the EN arc)).
It would suck to have to roam an empty sea forever XD

I also like Ruika,
which they played at the end of (or near the end) ep 39 when Youko was giving here amazing speach! Youko Power!!!!!!

I also like the OP song.. but i can't find it on the sound tracks was it sold only as a single?

I can see the anime having Yuka moved out from her familyhouse. She is, I think, a school year or two older than Taiki. So it could be like she 'hosts' him in her apartment.

Also I can see Hirose worked in too, and YUka and Hirose working together to help Taiki out. Personally I think there's no ...

........but if Sesshomaru dies........

don't say that!! it will be jinxed!!!!

*knocks on wood*

In either TAS or in Demon child
Taiki wonders to himself the same thing.
He feels bad that he left Hirose there, and then said "maybe he's a taika".
But there's no way for him to cross to kyokai since he's not a Sen.

He also seems to be drawn to Takasato and wants to help him
Maybe that's the ...

seriously we need to get her to write!!!
i wonder what' stalling her
she's had enough time to write a whole bunch of other stuff.

GAHHHH I WANT MY 12k !!!!

w00t! another fan!!

It's amazing to see so many people still starting 12k after it's been years since it was made.

I definitly had a time where I was obessed with Inuyasha (ended up tling 2 movies), I still like it but ever since the anime ended and the manga is just dragging on.. my passion for it has dwindled. :(

I hope Rumiko sensei gives it a good ending.


Other animes that are good and still running are ...

I believe it's supposed to represent the destruction of harmony, or peace, and the difference that one change can make

In japanese when a droplet hits the water and cuases a ripple effect it's called 波紋 and the secondary definition of it is "the change and effect that follows after"

So the ...

K, this may be a silly topic, but is the 12k round (like earth) or is it flat?

The maps make it seem flat and they say that people just sail to the end of the kyokai and never make it back (die, or get to Hourai or Konron)
But, logically, planets are round.( I assume that 12k is another dimention ...

convert my little ponies into my little kirins?

Do they still make my little ponies?

If i could, make it I would, but.. since i can't i'm just going to dream about it...

I'd love a 3-d puzzle of the kingdoms and the palaces
oh and little youko and keiki piece that come with that.. (heck.. i want a BIG BIG doll house like the 12k XD )

That was a fairly interesting article.
I do have to admit one of the main reasons why I've been so addicted to the 12k is becuase of system of government.
It seems ideal (as long as you're a ruler :p)

I disagree with the fact that King En doesn't care about rank much. I believe he does, the reason ...

I know the science departments are pretty good.

I think the Ecology department is rated higher than Zoology (I think) Sorry, I personally don't know anyone in those departments.. the closest is BioChem, and that's got a good rep (competative).

Did you check out the divisions webpage?

Imagine how high 12k will be ranked when the series is finished...

is there anywhere I can acutally find the mp3 of this drama CD?

If I can get it, i'll tl it. (personally i want to listen to the 8 kirins one XD)

Congrats!! :)

I acutally live about 20 min from the UW campus.
It's a great school. ( and also a LARGE school)

If you're not originally from the NW area, one word of advice, be prepared for gloomy weather..
during the winter we get lots of muggy grey skies.

oh,and i understand the pain of ...

hmm I agree with fragile_bloom in the Twilight series,
Youko and Keiki are much more "cuter", I read the Japanese version and to me, it looked almost like a new couple getting to know each other.. kinda like a VERY old fashion arranged marrige type deal.
They are still very much in the stage of ...

Yes! More 12k fans!! Be sure to point people to forums and stuff too. the more people talking, the merrier it is

(in the book they mention it's a boy - how do they know, by the way? If i understand correctly, he still hasn't hatched from his ranka, as no palace opened his door to welcome a new kirin at all!)

The Nyokai (who are born the day the Ranka ( in this case the Houka) are formed on the tree) are the ...

I absolutely love taiki, i was really hoping that they were going to finish up his story, I was so sad when they didn't He's so cute I just want to hug him!

His story isn't done in even the original series yet. That's probably one of the main reasons as to why the production has been stalled.
