@Caroline: Better not, better not then ^_^;;; Well, I do not know why but Romeo and juilet just doesn’t turn me on as much as I wish it to be. I actually dropped it after two episodes but simply continue to grab it for a friend who is keen on watching it.

Heh, well, try to give me a little hint without spoilers ^^

The only series I’m watching right now are Romeo x Juliet and Kaze no shoujo Emily, the first one cuz it’s one of the few new ones I could find subbed, and Emily cuz I already kinda know what happens so my poor Japanese is enough to understand.

I could answer your question about Emily, but I don’t want to spoil anthing so I’ll leave it there… Hehe I’m evil.

@Fuuka: Really, I always feel that Kyoto animation has great animation quality be it background or anything else is consistently excellent. However, I have to be honest that i have never really touched a production IG’s anime series and perhaps it might be better. I have no clue honestly.

@Briar: hmm, i don’t know, but i find that the story pace is really quite slow if you ask me, but since i am someone who is fine with the story pace, it’s still all good. I am just wondering since quite a few people had said about the pace of the show.

Impz says: “Seirei no Moribito: Did anyone find the story pace a tad slow fr their liking?”

I think it wasn’t the story pace that’s slow; for me it was the long wait between the first two episodes. By the time the 2nd episode came, I was a bit vague on the circumstances of the first episode.

At the moment the pace is still fine with me. I just wanna see Barsa meet her old flame (?).

I thouroughly enjoy Seirei no Moribito, not only because of its excellent graphics but the simple but strong concept of the story as well. I admit that it’s not as thrilling or moral disturbing as other anime of this season, Moribito still capture my attention for its realistic yet very fantasy story. Most of those runaway stories do not bother to take an episode to tell the viewers about the hiding or preparation process when the main protagonist begins his/her adventure. But Seirei no Moribito managed to do that, convincingly.
And one more thing, Kyoto Animation is not really the BEST when it comes to detailed or artistic backgrounds. They’re consistent but Production IG’s anime ( and some works from J.C Staff or even GONZO) are better, in my opinion ^^.
(I must advertise for Outogizoushi. If you want dreamy water-colored background, go for this title. Very wonderful!)

@psgels: Had to, it follows motto of blogging series that fall under the radar and requires some love. That said, I do have two separate questions for the two series.

Seirei no Moribito: Did anyone find the story pace a tad slow fr their liking?

Emily: Who is that darn blond and why are all of them so against Emily?

Glad to see that you continued with Kaze no Shoujo Emily. It really is one of the more underrated series of this season.

@tigresblanco: That is perhaps the kindest thing that you can ever say to a blogger and I really thank you for saying that to me. It brings me joy that someone is enjoying and happily reading what I am doing here.

Cheers and to add on, yes the pre-licensing by geneon has caused a dent of sorts. ^+^

I think there is a lack of fansubs for Seirei no Moribito because it is a licensed anime and no one wants to risk it. But I think it is the BEST show that has come out this spring. I will live without fansubs as long as you blog it.

Hmm, I also feel that the complexities of Shuga, particularly whether he is good or bad confuses me, but that is the humanity of humans. They are not born bad or evil, but is nurtured to be so. He simply looks like a man that has placed his trust to the wrong person, and I truly hope that it’s working well somehow, but he seems to be on the dark side soon.

Toya, as in the guy that appeared in the first episode? I think he might be an old romantic interest or someone who has a crush on Barsa. who knows. The fight will be intriguing.

I enjoyed Seirei no Moribito, and there’s some complexities regarding Shuga that I’m looking forward to find out. It’s sad though that we still don’t get to see that whatisname guy whom Toya was talking to Barsa about.

I’m looking forward to next week. Seem that it will be a great episode.
