Indeed. Too bad it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves.

Yup... the anime's pretty good.

However, I still don't think it comes anywhere as good as the novel itself.

I'm expecting a season two for this anime... since I can't see how the series can conclude @ 26...

can someone tell me if season one actually concludes the story by shortening it? Or does it end with Youka getting his arm chopped off?

(It seems that all Condor Hero games have split the story into 2, using the arm incident as the cutoff... that or the part where they'll get separated for 16 years...)

Neither one actually.

If you think about it, though, neither one is the best place to end a series - whether or not the studio intends to finish the title. You're already in the second arc of the novel at that point.

Thing is that Condor Hero's already been released for a while already.

The source that Live-Evil uses is already subbed in chinese... and LiveEvil only wrote on top of those subs.

So, all 26 episodes have been available already... it's just that they're not subbed in english.

I'm just curious to know whether anyone's seen the 26 episodes... and whether he/she'd mind telling me what point the anime ends at.

As for the story being in the second half of the arc, I don't really think so.

Live-evil (cute word trick, BTW

) uses both regular Japanese raws and the Mandarin fansubs. Not entirely certain if their translator goes by the Japanese spoken words only, or if he backs up his translations by the Chinese text where available, though. I suspect that it's done purely through Japanese only, but you'll need to speak with someone from the group.

Given the series ended back in, I think, 2001, yeah, the episodes have long been out. It just wasn't a hot series and, I believe, was never released as a R2 title for purchase.

I've added spoiler tags to my quoting of your post since there are people here who haven't seen the series or read the novel.

These are what I consider to be the story arcs, and are solely my opinions. The first main arc goes through the first half of the novel and end with the valley trip. The second main arc ends through the

For people who don't know already, the Legend of the Condor Heroes Live Action 2003 is about Youka's uncle and is the story that comes before the anime Condor Hero. It also gives you a lot of background on stuff like Youka's father and his relationship/interaction with Youka's aunt and uncle and even the daoist monks, who were actually Youka's father's teachers.

Animesuki has episodes 1-3 out for this. It might be interesting to check out.
It goes even as far back as Youka's grandparents.

e99y · 2003-12-16, 06:33

i just watched all available 16 eps. whew. i can't wait for the ending of this anime series. 2 thumbs up for this title. recommended.

The preview for ep17 looks exciting, too bad it'll be a long wait though but I take quality over speed subs anyday.

Unfortunately you will have to wait awhile for Koko to find out...
BTW, where did you see the preview?
The only ep17,18 that I know of is in cantonese.

NoSanninWa · 2003-12-16, 16:48

He said "preview". At the end of every episode is a preview for the next episode. That's what Keitarou20 was referring to.

ixspa · 2003-12-17, 21:24

I did enjoy this anime up until ep 16 which animesuki has to offer so far. Hopefully Live-Evil will have the remaining 10 eps available soon enough but what sucks is the fact that the story is kind of cut into a bunch of fragments(which all you fellow novel readers can point out already) but other than that the anime is cool.

divideby0 · 2003-12-21, 06:59

i must admit one of the true perks of knowing Chinese is being able to read this novel in it's native language and understand all the words that lose meaning/ impact after translation.

Well... you could try checking the series page for every show we list until you come across my other recommendation. Or you could use the search function to find out what shows I recommend most often in the suggestions forum and check those to see which one has my other recommendation. Or else I could just take pity on you and tell you that the other show to get that honor is Princess Tutu, but then you wouldn't have to work for it so I don't think I'll do that.

Weird usally Tofu would create a new thread whenever they release a new ep of Condor Hero. It was a nice Christmas present indeed thanks to Tofu and LE for putting it out.

I can't believe that Shouryuujou is thinking that Youka will be unhappy living with her in Koboha. What Youka didn't say, is that however unhappy he might be at never leaving the tomb... he'll be much more unhappy if he never gets to be with Koko at all. I'm afraid that now she's going to leave him in order to spare him the shame of being with her so that he can be happy in the outside world.

It was a nice Christmas present indeed thanks to Tofu and LE for putting it out. Spoiler: I was kinda pissed that Youka didn't say more to Koko when he was asked very seriously what he would he feel about living in Kobaha for the rest of his life. I guess he was too tired to realize the seriousness of Koko. Damn Kakafu you jealous witch why did you have to go and tell Koko that. I'm afraid she might decide to leave again and thus making Youka goes on a journey again to look for her. __________________
