Category: Popolocrois Story 1998

Hmm, we get some Ston and Sanda character development this episode. It was really well done, and furthermore you could really see that each and every one of the characters has a differrent personality. In some cases even unique. I also like that Pietoro isn’t the strongest person among his friends, but more like the weakest (after all, he was the only one who got blown away by Ston’s attacks, even the old woman didn’t move). It’s nice to see things like this in a fantasy anime, it gives a good perspective.

This was also one of the few episodes in anime in which some time was drawn out in order for one of the characters to sing a smal song. Of course, the song made no sense, and it was sung by an old woman, but still, it was a nice touch.

The bad guy was again awesome, even though he only got five seconds of screen time. It was an old idea the creators used to involve him in this episode, but brilliantly executed. We just see thunder and his castle, we get a moment to realize what’s going to happen, we see his funny reaction, and voila, back to the main story. I liked this.

Anyway, Ston and Sanda were again great in their huge forms.

We get an introduction of the knight with a medieval accent. I like him, he seems like an interesting character. The bad guy needed a bit bigger role in this episode, which was mainly focused on Hyuu trying to get home again and eventually deciding that she should stay. It was entertaining, but I expected a bit more of it. We get an introduction of the knight with a medieval accent. I like him, he seems like an interesting character.

After watching the second episode of this anime, I decided to blog it. It’s actually pretty interesting. Despite the childish drawings, the characters are really well developed and some of them are really unique.

This show also has one of the funniest bad guys ever. Of course, bad guys, obsessed with big machines and with whom everything goes wrong aren’t very loved these days (with which I agree, by the way). But in this anime it doesn’t matter. You just can’t seem to not sympatize with his desire over Narcia and Popolocrois. Another thing I love about this show is that the battles are nice and short, without too much meaningless fighting.

After the first half of the episode, the only characters that seemed a bit useless were the two vegetable-like minions of Hyuu. Those feelings however were completely gone at the end, as they also are more than just 2-dimensional characters. The only thing that turns me a bit off of this anime is the large amount of time spent on Pietoro, Narcia and Hyuu playing around the castle. Of course, they’re kids, and of course, it contributes to Hyuu’s development, but it feels as if it’s a bit too much.
