Twelve Kingdoms?

Postby mai » Sun Sep 26, 2004 4:28 pm

I've looked all over but I can't seem to find a good review for this series, I was wondering if any one could tell me about the content. e.g. nudity, language
My Website [online comic]

Do you find your self worried alot of the time about things that don't always make sense?


Are you experiencing any of these?
• Persistent feelings of sadness, irritability or anxiety
• Overreaction to irritations
• Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed,
• Sleep too much, or sleep too little
• Unexpected loss or gain of weight
• Tiredness or restlessness
• Slowed movement, thought and/or speech
• Guilt, low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness
• Inability to concentrate and poor memory
• Loss of motivation
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Suicidal thoughts and/or behavior
• Withdrawal from relationships, anti-social behavior
• Physical aches and pains that seem to have no other cause

If you have a few of the symptoms on this list, you may be suffering from a form of clinical depression there are many sites that offer advice and help.

It's supposed to be really good, I would have gotten it if it got a favorable review from here.
Yeah, I'm that opinionated.

So otaku, but not...

I've seen up to vol. 6 so far. It's very clean, and overall is a superb series. The characters, artwork, and level of detail in the story are all first rate.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

I've only have the first DVD, but from what I've seen I agree with Techno's description. It has a unique atmosphere to it and it's very original within the fantasy genre - a feat that's hard to attain these days. ;) I would love to see more of the series, but sadly, each DVD is $30 in Suncoast, and Best Buy rarely seems to have anything other than volume six stocked. I've heard (not official info) that the series is still running in Japan, so it's going to end up being rather long. Maybe Anime Works would consider making a boxed set in the near future.
