One of my favourite series of all time, it definitely needs to be talked about more often. I would definitely recommend watching the OVA as well, as it shows Zeno’s past and really fleshes out his character more. I don’t know why they made it an ova but it’s worth watching if you enjoyed the series.
I think they made it into an OVA because they probably didn’t plan to make season 2. Zeno’s past and power was introduced during a fight, so they would need a second season to reveal this.
@@camilacastro108 I don’t really know, but I assume that it’d be on Cruncyroll or Funimation. If not, then go on sites like Gogoanime or Kickassanime, although Gogoanime has a *lot* of bad ads.
Yona of the dawn is as i heard an adaptation only to make the manga popular in order to sell more. I was watching the show every week in 2014. It is a shame that this story didn’t receive so much love
That's the case with every anime adaptation. Just getting one season is huge because it will at least increase manga sales even if it isn't very popular. But very popular anime are always worth producing more anime seasons for. Lets put it this way, there's never been a HUGE DEMAND for a season 2 of an anime and the mangaka was like "nah, I just want yall to read the manga." Adapting more of the manga, with a season 2, season 3, and so on, increases manga sales even more.
The king is actually called King IL, it just looks like Il in the subs, but that actually seems like a common mistake. Akatsuki no Yona is my absolute favorite manga. I love Yona and her friends. Kusanagi does a brilliant job at character devolpment. She does it also so subtly that you only realize it once you go back in the series. Zeno is my absolute favorite, I just love the tragic ones, what can I say. The anime is really just an introduction to the series. I would really love more anime adaptation, but only one more season would not be enough to be honest. Yona of the dawn is funny, dramatic, giving goosebumps and feelings left and right and you just don't know how the story will end. The pacing is indeed slow at the start. You have to a least watch 15 episodes before you are hooked, but damn will you get hooked! Thank you for reviewing this great story.
To be fair Zeno appears at the end of the anime.( until the ova's years later)The poor guy didn't get hardly any screentime. I just bought volume 18 of the manga and I'm super excited to learn more about his past. I wish I wasn't so behind on the manga but it's definitely become one of my favorite shoujo manga.
Just correcting one bit Yona never really wanted to take back the Kouka kigdoom,since she knew So won was doing a good and honest work. Ironicly she ended up regaining most of her influence
Zeno is the best, most mature, mysterious and the best dragon out there. You should watch the OVA or read the manga to understand us. 😂😂 Him showing last randomly makes more sense to be honest I was shocked too on that a little plot twist.
SeaTactics no problem! I can see how it can be confusing because the letters “i”and “L” when “i” is capitalized and “L” is lowercased, it looks like roman numeral 2 😂
It makes me so happy to see more people talking about Yona and shoujo content in general! I’m a huge fan of shoujo and josei and I’m glad anitubers are noticing what I like more.
I would say underappreciated than underrated because I think people are familiar with the series even myself who’s never read parts of the manga .I realize that it’s still ongoing
I love this show. I hope the powers that be decide to take it up again. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you, but there are 3 OVAs that get more into the back stories of Gija and Zeno.
This show desperately needs a season two compared to almost other shows being animated. It’s a mature, intriguing story full of interesting dynamics and characters. The politics behind Yona and Soo-Won is so interesting knowing they are contributing to the cycle of revenged with Yona wanting to break away from it and wanting to help her people away from the burdens of royalty and Soo-Won being a genuinely good king. The dynamics between the dragons are so sweet and funny with no childish misunderstandings as everyone is emotionally mature. It’s just an overall good story and the manga is great
It is sooooo underrated!!! I really hope somehow it makes a comeback and with that the anime continues. I have read the manga (at least what has been released so far) and it is so amazing!!!
@@Just.a.reader.28 i started with the anime and fell in love but then there wasnt more so I hunted down the manga and it is just as good if not better because there is more content. In my opinion you cant go wrong either way. Just know if you watch the anime there may never be more of it to finish the story.
@@aniflowers1998 oh sorry if I sounded offending! But yeah! I understand what they meant! I swear when my heart nearly died every time Zeno gets stabbed in the manga 💀
I washappy to see more violent shoujo in anime. It got me into the manga. I find it's themes and characters to be very interesting. I'd love to see the water tribe arc animated someday. Yona's development as a person who understands and cares for her people is inspiring. It drastically needs a season 2.
lmao yeah in the anime it's pretty unsatisfying because the whole story itself isnt complete but zeno could possibly be one of the most tragic characters in the manga. hopefully that part of him is adapted well in the anime (if there is any hope of it appearing)
Thanks again to SeaTactics for bringing me on to this video. I had fun being able to revisit it again and try to flesh out some new thoughts that I overlooked in my own video and I had fun mix and matching our two styles of video production.
Thank you for this review! I am three episodes in and thinking, "Please tell me the princess doesn't stay pathetic the whole time!" You've given me hope. I will press on.
Kyle Grant to be honest around this time the studio push for other series didn’t go quite well .Naruto shippuden anime episodes got worse in animation quality
i really need to finish this series, i got to about episode 11 or something i think and i felt i got less interested, but it had a great start so i probably should've just waited it out
Really great video💯 Also if anyone could answer this. I want to watch an anime similar to Yona but I haven't stumbled upon anything that grand Any suggestions anyone? ❤️
8:32 this guy sucks. Your vid part was so much fun and relatable. The vid instantly took a down fall after he started talking. And you can’t even here or understand him.
6:35 the fact that I said he’s cuteeeee and he said “that he’s cute” right after said that🫣. I’m I that predictable? His loveable,sweet,cute,caring, and respectful. And silly. Not to mention can protect you despite being a cute crybaby. What more can a girl want. I don’t like him btw. I my fav is hak. But just saying. His like a adorable younger brother type. And his bug antics were funny. And his rivalry with hak gave the show more you know spark.

gladly will do bro
I love this series. It needs a season 2. I have a smile on my face for every other person I find out watched it.
It's very good, and I'm glad other people think it needs a S2.
@@SeaTactics I think so too!!
Where can I watch season one???
@@camilacastro108 Funimation although if you want to avoid the app they have all the episodes up for free legally on TH-cam.
Scratch that they charge for the episodes now. Boooo. It’s also on Hulu though if you already have that.
Zeno is a great character. As a manga reader, I can say as much (even thought I don't remember much...)
I love Zeno too

Well he clearly didn't watch the OVA's, or he wouldn't call Zeno "the worst" xD
Right! Zeno is in my opinion the most intriguing of the four
To be fair Zeno appears at the end of the anime.( until the ova's years later)The poor guy didn't get hardly any screentime. I just bought volume 18 of the manga and I'm super excited to learn more about his past. I wish I wasn't so behind on the manga but it's definitely become one of my favorite shoujo manga.
Just correcting one bit
Yona never really wanted to take back the Kouka kigdoom,since she knew So won was doing a good and honest work. Ironicly she ended up regaining most of her influence
Like she got the kingdom back or not? Cuz the king is doing good tho
Zeno is the best, most mature, mysterious and the best dragon out there. You should watch the OVA or read the manga to understand us. 😂😂 Him showing last randomly makes more sense to be honest I was shocked too on that a little plot twist.
Yo tambien me rei en esa parte ¿como rayos va a hacer el peor, si es el mejor de todos?
His name is king il (eel) not “the second” lol.
Thank you for the correction, I appreciate it.
SeaTactics no problem! I can see how it can be confusing because the letters “i”and “L” when “i” is capitalized and “L” is lowercased, it looks like roman numeral 2 😂
Mibby Right?!? I thought the same thing until I listened to the dub and I was like “NanI?”
It makes me so happy to see more people talking about Yona and shoujo content in general! I’m a huge fan of shoujo and josei and I’m glad anitubers are noticing what I like more.
I would say underappreciated than underrated because I think people are familiar with the series even myself who’s never read parts of the manga .I realize that it’s still ongoing
Episode 2 and 3 of the OVAs are probably my favourite episodes of the series imo
Right? Zeno's back story is so sad...
I love this show. I hope the powers that be decide to take it up again.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you, but there are 3 OVAs that get more into the back stories of Gija and Zeno.
Yeah remember this anime agreed it highly underated it was really good.
It’s a crime how there really hasn’t been any other anime continuation of Yona of the Dawn lol
I think it should have a season 2
This show desperately needs a season two compared to almost other shows being animated. It’s a mature, intriguing story full of interesting dynamics and characters. The politics behind Yona and Soo-Won is so interesting knowing they are contributing to the cycle of revenged with Yona wanting to break away from it and wanting to help her people away from the burdens of royalty and Soo-Won being a genuinely good king.

So what's the ending??
It's Not That Underrated .
But It's Less Talked About.
Would Like To See A Season 2.
It is sooooo underrated!!! I really hope somehow it makes a comeback and with that the anime continues. I have read the manga (at least what has been released so far) and it is so amazing!!!
Same, really needs a Season 2.
Should i read the manga or watch the anime

i love yona!!!! the manga is ridiculously amazing
6:16 hold up ......
DID YOU WATCH THE OVAS? And you should read the manga
from what I have noticed every person that considers zeno to be the worst dragon havent watched the ova/read the manga
When you are all caught up with the manga...Zeno is not weak at all
@@kayleejampayai7658 I mean, that's alredy clear in the (I think) secound OVA? He pretty much spells it out there xD
@@aniflowers1998 oh sorry if I sounded offending! But yeah! I understand what they meant! I swear when my heart nearly died every time Zeno gets stabbed in the manga 💀
@@Ouryuu-Zenokunwhere can u wathc the ova?
One of Kijas Main traits is to parodie shonen tropes later in the manga
Zeno is goated but you have to watch the ova because at first I didn’t like him

Me too

Zeni is a great character. I even started to watch this anime just to see Zeno.

If you haven't already, be sure to sub to Shadow here - > th-cam.com/channels/W82ekxV32euAvl8gwrFGlg.html
If you like this anime, you NEED to read the Manga! It goes so much further in just 10 books and really fleshes out the characters professionally.
Zeno is my favorite character and the series is one of my all-time favorites. I'm so glad to see people enjoying it!
I want season 2 😢🥺🥺
5:21 “maybe is into anything that moves” 🤣 💀 lmao
This show made me smile every episode
Ive seen it before but never watched it maybe I'll check it out one day
If you do, tell me your thoughts.
@@SeaTactics yeah probably will
Thank you for this review! I am three episodes in and thinking, "Please tell me the princess doesn't stay pathetic the whole time!" You've given me hope. I will press on.
yes a thousand times yes hands down one of my top 10 wheres the season 2 at
It’s because of studio perriot
@@watchforever1724 atleast the kind of did tokyo ghoul roght in the end even if it was a bit meh
Kyle Grant to be honest around this time the studio push for other series didn’t go quite well .Naruto shippuden anime episodes got worse in animation quality
@@watchforever1724 i just wish more movie sequels could be done if not sequel seasons just to bring a bit more closure and story
Kyle Grant it might take a while but the manga is still going so I don’t know what a sequel will do
I want this show to get back with second season . My fav show . I love this show very much.
i really need to finish this series, i got to about episode 11 or something i think and i felt i got less interested, but it had a great start so i probably should've just waited it out
You may not enjoy it still, but it's a solid series.
White, green and blue dragon have best character build up but yellow dragon have the best story build up
The beginning and the end music 🥰
Akatsuki no Yona
I watched it 3yrs ago it was good :)
you are underrated
i greatly appreciate the compliment! Still trying to figure out how I've been doing this for 10 years and just recently got 10k subs.
@@SeaTactics good luck man, i will be watching your vids
The manga is amazing. I am a loyal reader!!
You convinced me to watched this in 1 minute and 18 seconds
they seriously need to adapt the rest of the manga that's where the real gem is!
It's so funny to hear you say that Zeno is the worst dragon because later i nthe manga we learn more about him and he's the best
I KNOOOOOW!!!!
King Il not the II XD im dying i know its an honest mistake but that caught me so off guard XDD
I SCREAMED YAAAAS
We want season 2 😢
Really great video💯
Also if anyone could answer this. I want to watch an anime similar to Yona but I haven't stumbled upon anything that grand
Any suggestions anyone? ❤️
Inuyasha is somewhat similar, and as well Moribito Guardian of the Spirit. I can't think of anything more right now though.
@@SeaTactics thank you so much I really appreciate it ☺️💯
Arslan Senki is another similar one.
@@silenceevermoore1249 thank you 🥺
Thumbnail misspelled underrated
The title of the video before was YONE of the Dawn, so I'm derping up all over the place.
Yona's father is called "il" (but, since cap i, look the same as lower l, it looks like he is called "king second" when you don't know)
Other than that, great video.
You mean yona right ?You mispelled her name in the title of the video seastatics .It’s not Yone as it’s “Yona”
It’s so underrated
There is to mutch hate on the dragons in this video, read the manga if ur not satisfied
Or just watch the OVA's. Aren't easy to find, but really awesome!
lol thanks for reviewing the series but you got pretty much everyones name wrong
Also....how did you mispronounce the names if you watched the anime?
It’s king il not King 2nd
season 2 please
8:32 this guy sucks. Your vid part was so much fun and relatable. The vid instantly took a down fall after he started talking. And you can’t even here or understand him.
I wish the was a season 2
There*
Ahem. Inuyasha IS a Shonen. It was published on Weekly Shonen Sunday.
inuyansha is shounen
Uuuuuh YonE of the dawn??
hehe
This is trash
The plot is crazy, bruh
But it’s interesting tho
Shut up
