Customer Reviews of Twelve Kingdoms - Chapter 3 - Coup
Yoko becomes more "Queenly"; Sugimoto also changes. The first arc is wrapped up in this volume. Yoko confronts Sugimoto for the last time. At the end of this DVD, one girl gains a kingdom in ruins, and the other the ruins of a self-delusion. Both do a lot of growing up (about time!), and both become more likeable characters in the process--particularly Sugimoto. Sugimoto ends the arc on a tantalizing cliff-hanger which provides a nice entry into the second arc.
One thing: ep. 11-12 don't really involve Yoko. These two eps. tell the story of how a quick-witted 16th century Japanese pirate "King" was chosen to be the Emperor of En. Very good couple of episodes actually.
BTW, fans of Rakushun (that adorable rat-boy) can look forward to some sweet moments strewn throughtout these eps., in which he lends Yoko his political support, as well as his particular blend of practical wisdom.
Still Great, but Not As Great As Previous Volumes
Dont get me wrong, I love the show, however, this volume, while being good, is not quite as good as the first two volumes. One episode is the reasoning behind my giving this volume four stars. One episode of the disc serves not only as a filler, which is common for many anime dvds, but as a series recap. Not even 20 episodes into the series and already a series recap. My personal opinion is that a series recap should not be done unless a minimum of 50 episodes have been produced beforehand. Not only did I find it quite annoying that such an episode had already made it's way into the series, but also found this episode to be incredibly boring. The episode at times seemed rushed, while at others dragged on and on in a seemingly never ending borefest for the ages. For a recap episode and thats saying allot considering recaps are meant to fill an individual in on the prior occurances of the series.
One of the Best Animes I've Ever Seen
With the third volume of the Twelve Kingdoms, the first arc comes to a close. I was very excited to get this volume after seeing the events of disc 2. With this volume Youko decides to face her destiny but she is now blocked by Sugimoto and King Kou. The outcome of this confrontation will decide these three individuals fate. What I really like about this series is how well they reveal to the viewer the motivations of the characters all while keeping the story interesting. This series has instantly become a favorite of mind and I recommend this series to all anime fans.
