But it's great that we have Shinjit here who can give us info on the background stuff that won't ever be explained in the anime , such as the naming of those hunters. Also, that commentary done earlier was great too imo.

Oh, I must say I've found the chart of the relashionship between book pages and TV episodes I cited from another site is wrong. Perhaps they changed the storyboard after their meeting was recorded for the special preview program. Spoiler for singing children in ep.1:

Mabuki Andou really shines in this episode especially with that blood chilling roar of hers.

ep3 was absolutely perfect. the fight scenes, especially during barsa's flashback, evoked the best of the wuxia genre, and character development came in steady strides for most of the introduced cast.

I wanted to ask a question about your opinion before shinjit spoils us all silly.
While watching episode 3, did anyone else have the feeling that the giant wolf that followed Chagum was Tanda in disguise? After all, he is described as a "wizard" and he was, according to his own words, coming from the city, following the same trail as Chagum and the beast. I certainly thought that they've structured the scene with definite heavy hints in that direction. |

>>MrProphet: When I first saw the wolf on the mountain, I thought it might be some kind of guide. When it was roaring and running, however, it seemed dangerous. (I actually felt the roar didn't sound sufficiently wolf-like, more like a lion.) But the idea you raise seems possible, since it vanished after Tanda appeared.

While this thought hadn't crossed my mind when I watched it, it could be a possibility, now that you mention it. Going by the opening's blue glowing gizmo, supernatural things do seem to exist in this world. Though, all I thought during the scene was "Ah, now that there's two humans together, the wolf probably backed away". My second thought was "Tanda must be tougher than he looks if he lives in the wilderness with wolves around."

He can't be the wolf. Why did he trail the boy when he could just turn back to a human being when he first spotted him? And then what would happen to his backpack in wolf form? And there is a path you can see that leads to his house which looks to be the main route to his house. The boy and the main character probably took the back road (that's probably why he didn't spot the hut at first). And I don't see how it is a possibility that Tanda uses that path to traverse back to the village everytime. That wolf is probably one of the other worldly beings I see in the description from AniDB.

Was the wolf really following the boy though? Or was he chasing after the scent of the leaves he was looking for?
This is how fight scenes should be done! This whole show has drawn me in, with intelligent and eloquent charactors, breathtaking backgrounds, and wonderfully done action animation. |
