Tears to Tiara

Finished watching the anime in about two days' time.It's really an enjoyable show!

Arawn

Arthur

Pwyll

At first I was kinda blur with the story,thinking that the Demon King Arawn was a bad guy in the show.After some time only did I realised that he was actually one of the two main male characters in the story,apart from Arthur,a human of the Elven King Pwyll descendant and son of late chief of the Gael tribe.And the first thought I had about Arawn was "why did they make him look not handsome enough compared to Pwyll and Arthur?" Even one side character in the story,Taliesin,a wandering minstrel(that's what he called himself) who was actually the son of the late chief of the Brigantes tribe,is better looking than Arawn.Uh.Arawn's body and clothing,including the white hair look fine except his face,making him not completely handsome enough for Riannon,Arthur's younger sister who possessed some Elven magical capabilities.Despite the flaw,I like Arawn's cool character compared to Arthur's rash and emotional one.

Taliesin

Octavia

I like the story,but there certain parts which I feel are not adequate in explaining the plot of the story. And I half thought that Octavia,a good swordswoman who once served the Holy Empire as a soldier, was a lesbian, when seeing her reaction after her once-very-best-friend-turn-enemy, Lidia, died in the fight between them. Not that I am biased towards homosexual relationships, but she's too pretty to become a lesbian. It would be such a waste of her character. I really admire Octavia though. I had wished for Octavia to be together with Arthur but unfortunately, they are just comrades in the story. Sigh~

In the story, Riannon was the wife of Arawn (since she had chosen him as the chief of the Gael tribe; Arthur is only the First Knight of the tribe and not the chief). She possessed the power to heal the injured and foresee  the future of a person. She can also cast spells to protect herself and kill off enemies. I feel that there's more in her than that is shown in the anime. It could have been better if they state clearly what was the hidden power within her that she had been afraid to approach. At first, I thought that she and Arthur are partners and not siblings (cos' I was a bit slow, and both of them look kinda nice for each other). Hehe...

Riannon

Oh yes, there are elves in the story.Three types namely the Miner Elf,the Water Elf and the House Elf. Rathty is the Miner Elf, Llyr is the Water Elf and Ermin, Limwris and Epona are the House Elves. They are all very cute and lovable characters. Talking about Epona, I had wanted to see her and Taliesin together but unfortunately, they didn't elaborate much on that. Anyway,both of them do share a few moments together and they were very funny.Haha. Shall I add another 'if only'?

Rathty

Epona

Ermin

Llyr

Limwris

Well, I shall not talk about the bad guys as it is nicer to talk about the good ones. And um, I feel that they should improve the appearance of the dragons. the drawing doesn't make them look like noble creatures at all, more of some fearsome monsters. Hmm. And to think that Ogam in the anime is a dragon.  It's just that he remained in his human form except during the times where his breath of fire was needed. No doubt, he is wise, just like how a dragon character should be.

Morgan

Oh, I forgot this character: Morgan! She's also from the Gael tribe. She's Octavia's best friend, and when Octavia handed her a handmade necklace made of Red Branch coral, I was thinking about the lesbian thing. Uh, think too much already. They are just friends, that's all. I don't quite like Morgan's character, partly because of her rough and tomboyish attitude despite her skimpily dressed clothing. LOL.

Overall, it was a good anime and quite worth watching it too. Too bad they didn't place more romance in it. -.-
