Whoever wrote the article must have made a mistake. No way they are brothers, unless they are guys who make an effort to be quite girly indeed.

"I have many other things as well. From childrens' toys (at this part they show aruru playing with a toy) to jewelry that would look beautiful on women. ( they had the twin with some necklace and hairpin at this part.
beside if you look at the art style none of the men so far has look like a woman if this was like Ouran High Host Club i would understand, but i don't see how the twins can be male.
...they could just be really good cross-dressers...
no, seriously those two have to be male.
Then again... in anime there is no limit to how girly/feminine male character designs can get. But I agree with the Dark Dragon, it just doesn't fit the mold that they use with the rest of the characters, especially the way they dress.

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I guess you meant female...Originally Posted by masamuneehs
seriously... this just shows the point... typos can happen.
From what I can gather only women in this show sport tails, though i'm ot sure al women have tails. Anyway the twins have tails as evidenced in episode 4, thus they are most likely female.
The tale of women with tails and men with fans continue:
Episode 7 - Yesy
Edit: Ho... Tres interessant. After this episode it's more than evident that the uber stupid emperor was just a smalltime villain (the fact his main forces were so insignifant and defeated in one episode is evidence enough...). However, right now there really isn't any indication who the real evil overlord of this series is. Quite surprising if it isn't someone related to Hakuoro's mask and past.
The only clue at all to future proceedings would be the mention that the goverments apparently have collapsed in many countries. Although no reasons were yet revealed. What comes to the next episode it looks like new characters added, and perhaps we will get some info what this is all about.

Man, Hakuoro's fan is insane, I wonder how he'd do with a real weapon. As to the falling of the other countries, maybe Hakuoro is one of many sent to different countries to topple the existing governments, perhaps weakening them for invasion by some nefarious force. His genuine benevolence could be a front designed to make the common folk gravitate towards him. Anything seems possible at this point, the show is just heating up.
Hmm... An interesting theory. But it could be also quite the reverse: He could be an agent sent to make the country stronger! After all, the late bonehead emperor had no idea how to lead his armies or even defend his own worthless life, so the country was actually more ripe for conquest before Hakuoro came. Now it is, perhaps, lead by a man far more capable of defending it against anybody. So, Hakuoro might have been sent there for that purpose: To make the country stronger against some yet-to-be-revealed true master villain. Although the angel people's conversations didn't give such an impression.
I just started watching this series now that Jigoku Shoujo finally ended. Interesting first episode and I really like the OP.
[yesy] Uta - 08
HOORAY!!!
A very calm and nice episode.I generally have nothing against this type of episodes that often appear after one strife, before another. And the preview indeed indicated as much: Some very sinister events seem to be lurking just around the corner. We don't actually know anything at all about the whole world of the series, so there could be all kind of things residing in the shadows.
Eruruu didn't look all too happy when Hakuoro said he considers her just a sister. However, she hasn't done any real moves to change that. Perhaps she's not all too sure of her own position in the new state of things in the country, and thus is too unsure to do anything. And how quickly Hakuoro suddenly just became the new emperor of the country surprised me. It's not like he didn't have leadership in him, and possibly the people pushed him to that position, but I expected him to oppose it a little.
Is it some Japanese thing to eat honeycomb with the living larvae still worming in there? I know they eat insects in many places in Asia, but that looked a bit peculiar...
I thought the honeycomb with bees (larva or otherwise) was a little odd as well. I half expected some to come flying out of it.
Alternating the feel of scenes in a series is what makes them great, its the common format of any comedy or drama. It makes the comedy relief eps funnier (almost relieving the pressure of the previous parts) and the dramatic moreso (like the next eps will be).
I understand that Kamyu was older than Aruru and Yuzuha by at least a few years, and the series does find its origins in h-games, but was I the only one that thought she was a bit too considerably developed for her age? It weirded me out a little bit.
No, you weren't the only one, I assure you! It certainly stroke me as odd that she behaved like a kid when she indeed had such a womanly figure. Since this isn't an H-anime, I wonder why they didn't rationalize her design somewhat. Or perhaps they just couldn't. I don't know what manner of agreements the anime studios make with the authors of the original material. Or perhaps the director of this series really wanted to make an h-series, and since that wasn't possible, he just did what he could...
Well episode 8 was definitely on the 'peaceful and quiet' side of things... which I guess you need every now and then.
Yeah, the Onwami (sp?) princesses are both pretty damn babeliscious, although the Kamyu girl really was like a second-grader in an 18 year old's body (that struck me pretty oddly), but that spell she tried to make herself invisible with was pretty cool. I like the prospect of seeing more magic in this show.
LOL at Hakuoro ditching out on work. Man I look up to that guy even more now.

Favorite Gotwoot Mod moment: "Why is everyone in that show black? The art and music are pretty good, and the voice acting is alrite as well......but i can't stand that guy who follows afro around. Hes so, well, black, for the lack of a better term (well thats not true, there is a better term, but i wont use it here)" Assassin

It was certainly worth waiting for! An excellent episode. It again showed this isn't a series where one man decides the outcome of a battle with sheer strength. While there are the obvious heroes with above average prowess, they still need to mainly rely on either numbers or wise tactics. Or pretty ruthless tactics like in this episode.
Hopefully something can also happen between Eruruu and Hakuoro now that Hakuoro seemingly accepts that the girls want to be in and take part in the action. Certainly a few scenes in this episode again showed Eruruu already loves Hakuoro.
And the preview suggests more babes... Well, what else could you expect from a series whose roots are deep in the H...
Yes, more good stuff...Hakuoro knowing how to make explosives was a pleasant surprise, though that tactic cost him a defensive structure in the event of another invasion.
The chick from the preview looks like the fourth 'hero' level fighter from the OP, so after her and the girl with wings for ears we'll have met all of the 'important' charachters. I wonder what the main plot will turn out to be. I'm guessing some new foe that is gobbling up countries left and right and forces the different groups we've met to band togeather to defeat it. I hope i'm completely wrong though, surprises are better.
I am in love with this series. The main character is the type that will use every trick that isn't even writen in the book. C4 explosive he probably read it somewhere or he knows about it from his past life. Eururu i hope won't be exactly on front lines but help the wounded or make more explosives or other biochamical stuff(gas). I hope Yue emperor won't disapear for long for it seems has figured out that something wasn't right with empty castel and when to see for himself. well this is easier on the mind that most villains won't be fat dumb asses in the future.
C4 is a plastique. Wouldn't it have been more likely Nitroglycerin? The impact of the drop caused the explosion, so it was either that or a chemical explosive.
I love the tactical aspect of this series. Scorched Earth strategy, the only exception was that they were not his own supplies.
I'm sure that we should be paying more attention to Yuzuha's words. She said that he smells like the earth, so that would probably imply that Hakuoro is related in some way to some ancient natural force, it would also explain why he knows about the taboo explosives.
Ya know it’s dawned on me how sweet computer animation is as far as large scale battles go its nice that during the fights you can see things moving instead of panning stills. Kind of makes you wonder what some of the older animes like Berserk or Galactic Hero’s might have been like, all hail the might PC
Im sure Hakuoro will end up being some demon turned good guy you can tell that he is used to dirtying his hands and doesnt shy away from death if it's needed to win. but i still think he is awsome.
