■ I’ve fallen (back into 12K hell) and I can’t get up!

[lukadian]

Every. Single. Time. This series comes and grabs me by the ankles and drags me into its depths.

Catching up with the current translations and I am. So full of emotions. I’ve been hesitant about jumping into the current books without having properly caught back up in my Re-read (last left off on Masho no Ko/Demon Child the sort of prequel and Poseidon of the East so like, absolutely no progress haha) but I visited Eugene’s blog and started back reading and-

I was struck by an illustration from the last book included with an update on the chapter translations and it was gorgeous and full of movement and wait a second is Taiki actually brandishing that sword? Hol’up. And then I read three chapters and I’m.

Still so full of emotions.

It was everything I’d hoped for and more and it clocked me full in the ID.

More on this later because yeehaw I’m back on my bullshit.

I would love to see those current fan translations! I have a fondness for older isekai. I've seen aura battler dunbine and really enjoyed it, as well as a bit of fushigi yuugi, and want to see others like escaflowne and rayearth. So I know tweleve kingdoms will be something right up my alley! :D It's good to hear the anime is a good entry point. I do look forward to checking it out whenever I get the chance.

Aaaaa Escaflowne is another good one, such a beautiful mishmash of general anime genre, that show’s got everything! Cat girls! Big robots! Romance! Action! Is it shoujo? Is it shonen? Who cares, it’s everything under the sun! What more could you want from an anime in the 90’s/00’s than everything Escaflowne brought to the table and more. It is a thanksgiving feast of what made anime so “cool” to me as a kiddo!

Yes yes do check out the 12K anime! In spite of its few big differences (named Sugimoto and Asano, respectively hahaha!) those too are just as welcome additional story to experience as well!
