The Twelve Kingdoms Forum

Here's what I gathered from the novels (similar to some posts):

- Kirins matured when they matured (nobody knows when and how, and it's different for every kirin), and this has got nothing or little to do with choosing their emperor

- They can choose an emperor when they are 6 six years old ...

You're welcome, purpleleaf:)

Carmolita, that's an interesting bit about Hourin. However I think her shitsudou did matter a lot in her death. Kyou-Ou said no emperors (and kirins, probably) died unless they screw up and stray from the way (this is also why Taiki and Gyousou are still alive against ...

purpleleaf, though I don't agree completely with you, I think your 'babbling' quite interesting:)

You asked in another thread, but in case you haven't found it, the rest of TKAS can be found here: www.ajisai-afuhana.blogspot.com.

Sometimes the relationships in TK could be described in its face ...

Me too...

6 years or so is a long time, I'm afraid Ono sensei has forgotten about Juuni kokuki. I presume it's not easy to start again from where she left off. I used to enjoy Ghost Hunt a lot but when I knew it's one of the reasons why Ono sensei stopped writing JK, I cant help but despite it a bit. just a ...

Actually, according to Risai thinking about it, Gyousou wasn't the ideal king. She just has this huge crash on him and all, but when she is lying in bed (Tasagore no Kishi) she remembers that when Taiki went to visit Ren, Gyousou ordered her never to reveal whats going to happen next in Tai. He ...

Another dead thread :D

It's weird to confront some two year olds opinions, but I'll do it anyway.

Tasogare no kishi, Akatsuki no Sora had too little of Tai-ou and Taiki in it. But at least it tells what happened to taiki before he disappeared from Tai. As for Risai I completely understand her, if ...

Reviving a thread in coma....

Yes that's the biggest mystery! What happened to Gyousou?! He surely didnt die, and no released novel gave any enough light to let us know what happened to gyousou during and after his 'trip' to Bun province.

Just like Youko's offiicials predicted, I'm sure Gyousou's ...

None so far. The reason is simple: my friends would ask me: So how's the ending? And I would have to answer: errrmmm and couldnt lie. There is no ending!! How can I promote an amazing anime without a proper ending?!

And the only reason I watched this anime was because a godd*mned friend told me it ...

I would side with this opinion: Tentei judges every living person of a particular country at that particular time (Tentei doesnt know what will happen to that person's character later on) and chooses the best person to be the emperor. And by 'best' it means a person who suits the throne the most ...

Without doubt: Flat or almost flat.

Btw I'm not 100% convinced that OUR world is actually round in the first place

From what I've heard and read, they will be releasing all seven novels in the series published by Kodansha, and they will be releasing them in the same order as they were originally published. I don't see the point in their having licensed all seven, but only releasing a few. If they did do that ...

Nice! Great great costume. you made it yourself?! Wow... The third pic's the best coz it shows clearly how similar to Enki's that costume is.

My favourite characters are without doubt Taiki and Tai-Ou. They had the most interesting relations, and they differed so much from each other. Thanks to wonderful-generous people who'd shared their translation of the novels, I had read most of the novels and found 'umi no kaze, meikyuu no kishi' as ...
