Any particular reason why this episode's thread is two days early?

Kensuke · 2006-07-29, 17:05

Hmm, I want some light to Karura's indentity. From the preview it looks like it is Karura episode.

Yes. It's early so you can "discuss your expectations of the episode if not aired." (see the first post) And it hasn't aired. Yet. Soooooooooooooo.....feel free to air out your desires for the next episode. Maybe even some guesses as to which way the clock will tick. What you'd like to see resolved, who is hot and who is not, etc, etc, etc...

You're very welcome. Cheers.

Lost · 2006-07-29, 20:06

^ Well, thank you very much!

Eh, like Kensuke I hope to see more development of Karura in this episode; probably in terms of her history and what made her this way.

Oh yeah.. And this is the 18th episode, so I'd be expecting the start of the final plot arc, possibly in the last few minutes of this episode. Hopefully. Tho it'll mean days of long and worrying waits between episode releases. Plus the indescribably lousy feeling of discovering the fansub release and not being able to do anything atm because you're in school.

Deathkillz · 2006-07-29, 20:09

hmm expectations...i expect death and destruction...compliments of hakuoro's demon side

EvolutionXI · 2006-07-29, 20:48

yah, i hope we're told a bit more about Karura's background..maybe some reason why she told Eruruu that she just forgot about things like what country shes from and all. I think they might introduce the next story arc near the end of the ep, if not throughout the whole thing, too.

passin'gass · 2006-07-30, 00:10

I have no idea of the timeline in the first 17 episodes (best guess 10-14 months) but Hakuoro should not be able to afford another war at this point.

I mean, come on! Three conflicts in such a short time should have drained his country's fighting-age manpower by at least 50% especially that gruelling last one.

Scooooorrreee.

Well let's look at things logically. 9 episodes left. Previews suggest some kind of revolt that may (or may not) revolve around Oboro and Karura. There's obviously two central figures in this new plotline. One guy who uses a black boad-thing as a weapon, the other is a leader.............sitting alone.............TOTALLY stoned!

My hopes is that they're going to devote 2 (at most, 3) episodes to this arc, then the remainder will focus more on something with a bit of an apocalyptic twist to it. One more general war story, then it's time for the main course.

It feels slightly cliche to me seeing this anime being told section by section. One part is over, then you move on to the next. I would've personally enjoyed something that would carry itself over throughout the entire series, but this is how they did it, and in the end it's really not that bad. But I guess I'm just going through what I had hoped, like everyone else has. :x

Episode 18 marks Karura´s arc and for what I saw...

Spoiler for Karura rulez here:

Be warned that there are screenshots that could spoil the fun, but this episode looks great...

Karura Is The Meaning Of Sexy

Zaris · 2006-07-31, 22:34

Just finished watching the silent RAW version of the episode (why do people record w/o the audio? ~_~ ). As I suspected, it is likely to be a two-part substory (or at most, 3 part. I don't see how it can carry itself over more than three episodes). Just wished we could hear what the people were saying. Hopefully other torrents and Yesy will get done with their release in a few days time.

Spoilers b/c the release is less than 24 hours ago:

Spoiler:

All in all, an all-harem episode with some new and old people putting the bustamoves on anonymous soldiers. :P I will put further comments and give my overall score later, since it's like watching a silent film where you think the roll got stuck in the machine until their mouths start moving again. ;P

EDIT: Nevermind, the RAW I have actually did have sound. Odd how Video Lan Client (the player I watch 80% of my media in) doesn't play the audio and Movie Player doesn't play the video. It's still annoying to have to run both players simultaneously to get the whole impression so I'm still gonna wait for a better version (or unless someone can assist in rectifying this issue :x ) before I give my entire opinion on it.

I'll say this though:

Spoiler:

Newprimus · 2006-08-01, 00:58

Benawi's reaction upon seeing them gone = ACE.

gammaoh · 2006-08-01, 03:34

Yeah, because that means that he's going to take care of all the administration stuff Hakuoro usually does himself... Remember two episodes ago?

It's like walking in when your husband is cheating on you. That's a sucky feeling. I'm curious to know how it was resolved through talk on the caravan. All in all, an all-harem episode with some new and old people putting the bustamoves on anonymous soldiers. :P I will put further comments and give my overall score later, since it's like watching a silent film where you think the roll got stuck in the machine until their mouths start moving again. ;P EDIT: Nevermind, the RAW I have actually did have sound.

I'll say this though: Spoiler: - What a relief between Hakuoro and Eruruu. - Guess that WASN'T Oboro in the very first shot. Guess this isn't an Oboro-Karura episode after all. JUST Karura (for you fans out there :P ). - Oh man, the men. Especially Benawi. He's just totally spazzing out. X_x - The Na Tunk leader not only looks stoned, but talks stoned too!
