Well, they could have wrapped up the whole Urutori baby story within 15 min. The ep felt really slow due to that. At least it was still enjoyable to some degree. I absolutely love the OP/ED songs. I never been so addicted to anime music since.. the original Utawarerumono OP.

By the way, just as an update, the second volume in the OVA series has actually been scheduled and will be released on 23 December 2009. I haven't seen anything yet about what will be covered in the new volume, but I guess we'll see soon enough. The third and final volume in the series will be released in Spring 2010.

秘恋の処方箋, Prescription for a Secret Love(?) Seems like it's something about Eruru getting "kidnapped" to heal Kamuchataru's "illness". PS2 material? PS: C77 will have a character song album along with the usual drama CD.

Well, the second OVA is out. I found it rather disappointing after the first one; it was more like a gag episode whereas the first episode at least made an attempt at telling a serious story. Then again, I might be biased because Nopon annoys me to no end and they stuffed up Kamyu's design in a couple of shots.
Also, more gratuitous and this time even more irrelevant fan service. Here's hoping for a better third episode. I hate to think that we're down to the last one already. Part of me is still clinging to that last bit of hope for some Mutsumi love, but chances are better we're finishing off with a bunny girl episode.

I always thought they rushed Mutsumi's storyline in the original. There was just so much to forced into those last episodes, so it never really explained in the anime as well as it should have been. I don't think we'll see more of it though because it would be hard to interact with the main character group.
I am not sure we'll see more from Kyuu either though, because again, they want to highlight as many characters as possible. At least that's my thought. I noticed Karura didn't get any screen time in this go around, nor did Utorii. I think they are trying not to play favorites. I'd actually venture Touka as a possible choice from the next episode. She didn't even have a single line in the second episode. Truthfully, I don't care who it is about as long as it is entertaining and well done. This is probably my favorite full-blown fantasy series of all time--interesting characters, decent battles, well developed world, fun side stories, one of the better romances I've seen, and even a bit of philosophy on living. The swords and socerery motif is what originally enticed me to watch anime, so I've seen quite a bit. So even if it isn't quite as good as the original, it is always fun to return to it. I dread the it is 2/3 complete now. I certainly wouldn't mind more! |

Am I the only one who found this god dam awful ? I've dropped it halfway thu the first episode to avoid ruining my likeness of the series.
Let me add a disclaimer before I start. These are my views on the OVAs as someone who enjoyed Utawarerumono very much. infact I recently re-watched it and even moved it from and 8, to a 9. Where to start. That characters we sooooo out of character it wasnt funny. Its like they all had totally different personalities. Not one of them reminded me how they were in the Utawarerumono series. Thats so upsetting for someone who enjoyed the main series. There are people who are suppose to be dead, actually being alive. Dont know how that happened but oh well. Maybe the winged prieste casted a ressurrect spell. Maybe that would make more sence. I didnt completely watch the battle. I skimed thu it because I was so disgusted. Why did the winged priest (who is the leader of all the priests) attack her own friends. Someone could of got killed. Or maybe someone did, I dont know, I didnt stick around to find out. Shes suppose to be the elder priest now and what does she do ? she goes violent!. Once again, shes soo far out of character, its just plain awful to watch. Ive given it a score of a deserving 3 and it has been dropped, because I want to remember Utawarerumono as a wonderful series. I dont want it ruined by this type of crap. Well I spoke my mind didnt I. Really hope I'm not the only one that feels this way <.<

If you want to criticize the OVA for "crap", why don't you start with those horrible and completely superfluous bath scenes? Or all the minutes wasted showing Karura quietly drinking sake when there's already not enough time to cover the entire arc!

Eruruu, she does get mad ever so often and its quite cute, but when she gets upset, she pretty much sulks to herself. To me in the OVA they were trying to make her Tsundere which is not her personality. She would of more or less sulked when Kaurla rattled her. Aruruu, well I dont know how to explain that one best either. She just isnt the same from the main series. I dont know if I explained very well, but those are just some of the reasons ima so critic because I <3 the cast alot. And to see them being degraded only just for fanservice is just......... sad sad sad. Quote:
