Utawarerumono - ep 15,16

I don’t really like how the story is progressing. Part of it really makes no sense to me. I mean, why would Niwe go through all that trouble to incite Hakuorro, when the beast inside Hakuorro will probably just tear him apart. (which indeed happened) It really just feels like we’re going from game boss to game boss.

That’s not to say that the series isn’t worth watching. It still remains quite intruiging. I wished they revealed more. They still haven’t really said what are the purpose of the winged creatures. They all seem to be hiding secret motives.  And now out of no where, we’re introduced new mysterious characters again.

THe fight scenes were plenty this time round though. Computer graphics integrated in a lot better. And i did enjoy the scenes. Lots of cool moves, especially by Karura.

Basically, as the story goes, hakuorro brings his harem along to fight Niwe. (it’s really his harem! I don’t understand why he brought erruru along. I guess in the game you needed a healer)  First they met 3 generals that they fought last time. But karura handles them all, and asks the rest to move on. The rest end up meeting Niwe’s zombies. But again, karura arrives to disember them all.

Niwe then taunts hakuorro, who goes after him alone, but asks the rest to hold back. Lots of taunting occurs, including Niwe setting fire to his own palace and capital. Well, sooner or later, hakuorro’s beast arises, and disembers Niwe.

Ep 16 consist of life after. Nothing much, except that towards the end, Kamyu starts to exhibit weird behavior, ending with her flying and playing around the lake (i’m not quite sure what she actually did). Hakuorro witness this, having followed her. But from the darkness, a guy, Genjimaru, approaches and says his emperor would like to meet Hakuorro. Hakuorro agrees, and we’re introduced to Kunnekamun’s Amururineuruka Kuuya.

Actually, maybe if I actually played the game, the anime wouldn’t seem so confusing. haha.
