Black Kirin

"This is the absolute best anime I have ever seen. It is in depth and completely captivating. I love classics the that Studio Ghibli has produced but Studio Pierrot has out-done them and touched another area completely. I cannot agree more with the previous reviews they are absolutely correct. My only regret is that it ends so abruptly and all research I have done on when they will animate episodes 45-68 is when the author finishes the books. I have seen the titles of the upcoming books and they appear very promising. Strangely I am more drawn into the story of the Black Kirin than that of the main character Yoko. I cannot pull myself away from this series and have gone back to analyze and refamiliarize myself on different aspects numerous times. Bottom line: I am very picky about quality anime and hardly like anything I come across...this is an incredible series and I am extremely anxious to get the next 23 episodes to finish the series."
Great Anime

"12 Kingdoms is one of the fascinating anime ever-Great story, suspense and action. The main story is about Yoko who experiences a great transformation from a shy ideal high school girl to a poweful empress in another world. However, the end is a cliff-hanger since they didn't complete the anime. I hope they will finish it one day. This box set is very beautiful and well-organized. If you want to own 12 Kingdoms, this is the best box set for you."
Now one of my all time favorites

"It's really weird. When I first started watching this series, I thought I was stuck with a dud. But now that I'm done, I consider it one of my all-time favorites. I'm not sure at which point it won me over (probably when we met the sexy King of En), but it ended up being great. I only wish there were more since there were a few unanswered subjects."
