Synopsis ~
Based on the popular
manga of the same name by Mizuho Kusanagi, Akatsuki no Yona follows Princess
Yona on a coming-of-age adventure as she faces the harsh realities of her
kingdom. With only a mysterious legend to guide her, Yona must discover a way
to restore Kouka to its former glory while being pursued relentlessly by the
forces of the new King of Kouka.
Dopes Says ~
Before I get to the whole review, I would like to express
how much I really love this series to the world and beyond! I am a huge fan of
this and I am so glad it became an Anime although it was quite short. Yona is a
princess who witnesses something that she shouldn’t have, the man she trusted
became her enemy and now she is on the run with only a legend to help her and
thus her adventures begin.

I am really surprised by the animation of this series, I am
quite happy to announce that the whole point of the Anime is the development of
finding the four dragons. It’s very classy when it comes to the animation let’s
not be surprised by the fluid battle movements as well. The whole anime is so
vibrant with colours that it’s really blinding. Yona’s signature red hair looks
like the flame when she’s around its beautiful.
The sound of this series is by far my favourite; I am in love with the background music of this show. It’s very melodic with violins and very soft and slow sounds when it came to happier or sad moments and when a battle began it was very deep and strong. I am in love with Jae ha’s instrument playing as well shame I couldn’t find a full version of it I would have love to hear it over and over. It’s all very classically inclined of course, you won’t be disappointed if you hear it.

Characters we have Yona, Yun and Hak, including the four dragons each to their own style and ways. The story heavily focuses on the mythological aspect of the show, let alone the guided heroine. Yona who was very much a fragile girl in a disillusioned state after her circumstances. Has grown as a character and her fellow companions have noticed that and was willing to understand the will of her journey. Hak who is her utmost valuable friend is probably the most intrigued as to how the princess has grown from being weak to strong. Her journey with all four dragons could be seen through the show! Her closeness towards the dragons and how they are towards her. Each dragon is very much different and unique yet they care about each other and willingly to go far to save each other. I was very impressed with the development although the Manga goes more in depth with it.
Dopes dislikes ~
Besides being very slow at the beginning of the show, which
can put a lot of people off. It does drag on for a while in the beginning, and
I mean really drag. But none the less it’s not that bad but I would have preferred
if it got to the point in a nice way. What
else I would comment on is the less development of the series because it’s so
short it doesn’t make the show as great as it is with the Manga. So far what we
experience is the introduction of everyone and then switches to the more
continued story which should have developed in course of time but didn’t
because of the episodes. Such a shame because the story progresses to something
amazing later on! We also get character development and also back stories!
Dopes concludes ~
Besides all this, the Manga is still on going and is very
much getting very interesting! WE are getting somewhere with it! It’s so far
explained the whole point of the series, besides the Anime who only showed off
the start of a journey with the four dragons, Akatsuki no Yona has everything
you want, humour, action and a story. Although slow but it’s much better if you
read the Manga to find out the more seriousness of the show and also romance, I
know people complained where the romance was the shame was that it isn’t in the
Anime but in the Manga more. You will not be disappointed if you do watch this,
I very much enjoyed it they are all very well balanced. The characters are
decent and very loveable I can’t choose who my favourite is but I would love to
point out that Shin-Ha and his chipmunk is so freaking adorable!

I shall leave you with some music, I will also mention that
the second opening is by far the best it gets me so pumped up!
