Yona of the Dawn

I really really liked this anime! After finishing though I am left with a lot of questions and anticipation. There is no real word that this show is coming back but I have learned with anime that you need the patience of saint. We have to wait for a long period of time for more but 90% of the time we are not left disappointed! You will love the characters and watching this unique group come together!

After the betrayal of her beloved cousin Su-won, Princess Yona is forced to flee the palace only with Hak, who is both her childhood friend and bodyguard. After meeting the Oracle, they set on finding four guys who inherited dragons' blood to help her survive. During her journey, she soon discovers that her kingdom is not the idyllic place she was lead to believe and starts doing some things to change that.

I absolutely love this anime. Yona especially is evolving a lot throughout the season and her character arch from helpless girl to badass warrior is absolutely amazing. There are also sparks of romance in the air, from both Hak, her loyal and extremely hot bodyguard, and Su-won, the handsome cousin who is a guy you just gotta love to hate and hate to love (at first you might just think he's a villain, but it turns out it's far more complicated than this). I highly, highly recommend this if you like watching people fight and struggle but also create bonds and relationships that last a lifetime. Best way to categorize this masterpiece would be as an adventurous fantasy romance. It certainly gives you chills, in a good way, and toys with your emotions. I highly recommend watching.

PS: The squirrel eating meat and fish was creepy though. I don't know why they had to do it. I don't remember this being the case in the manga. I mean, it's a freaking squirrel. Give him some nuts instead.

I originally watched this series a few years ago and fell instantly in love with it. The adventure! The romance! It was just such a wonderful story and so well done. I fell in love with the characters right away. I was sad then that there was no further seasons past the first. Coming back to it a few years later I fell in love all over again. This time I hunted down the original Manga series and have caught up on everything they have published this far. Season one was amazing but the story gets even better!! I would love nothing more than for it to gain the popularity needed for the studio to continue with the anime.

We want New season i love this anime so much from every side i really hope they will make New s

Do not underestimate this show like I did. Its amazing to see Yona go from a naive, innocent, sheltered girl to a courageous and fearless soul for the sake of her friends. After losing everything and having a taste of the bitter reality of the situation in the Kingdom, Yona finds meaning in the turn of events. From being protected, to proactive. Willing to learn and change to protect her friends and her Kingdom. At first I thought it would be a cute, bubbly show. By the end of episode 1, the plot made a full turn and I enjoyed every minute of it. The soundtrack was soooo BEAUTIFUL !!! Also so much detail in the story (continues in the manga). A fantasy, adventure, with a handful of comic moments, sided with lots of feels. Love the relationship between Hak and Yona, and how they cherish other. Truly, this story is so dear to my heart. I read the manga and was thrilled to find they made an anime of it, they might even make season 2 (hopefully😭 even though I know whats gonna happen lol). Im looking forward to it! Please!!! // BTW // There's also an extra 3 episodes that you shouldn't miss!! (Akatsuki No Yona: sono se niwa or OVA)
