Over at the Yesy forums people have posted quite a few good images, so it's also worth visiting, if you are looking for pictures.
Shadow Warrior Chronicles? Lol? I wonder who came up with a name like that. Maybe somebody had invented the name once upon the time, and was only waiting for any series to apply it on. No matter if it has anything to do with the series. But Utawarerumono might be a little hard for English speakers. It isn't very memorable even for Finnish speakers.Originally Posted by ANN
No word yet over at the Yesy forums of what might be the fate of their fansub.
Shadow Warrior Chronicles... Oh boy...
Sounds like the same congenital idiot, who brilliantly titled the Ruroken OVAs, strikes again.
That'll be sort of odd; having the title logo on the opening be completely and utterly different than it's English christening.

They'll ignore the title opening's actual meaning and translate it as "Shadow Warrior Chronicles" anyway. Lots of companies did it in the 80's and 90's.
Well, maybe if they hear enough outrage from the anime community they'll tack on a separate title like Funimation decided with Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The creator told them to translate it as "Rumbling Hearts" though the title is more accurately "The eternity you desire." Response by fans of the immensely popular romance series got them to add a subtitle to it, bringing back the name Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, at least underneath.
This series deserves to get licensed, and I'm glad people in the dvd community will get to see it.
EDIT: Actually, there's a little hope too. Found this on the ANN forums.
Blade of the Phantom Mask still isn't right, but it's a lot better."Actually, I'm thinking that the people at the panel may have swapped this title and the one they gave Shin Angyo Onshi (Blade of the Phantom Mask). If you swap the two titles, they make far, far more sense."
Mr. Fencedude, bull's eye! Hakuoro's mask would definitely remind people The Phantom of the Opera, and the job of Angyo Onshi are, of course, very shadowy -- Angyo stands for "walking/performing in the dark."

"a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet"
either way, whatever name it gets, I'm glad Uta's getting licensed. Good animes like this one should be distributed (outside of the internet) around the globe. But yes, the questionable name of the title immediately raises concerns about the quality the licensor is going to do on it...
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".
Even if the title turns out to be less than desirable, since it's ADV, like the Ruroken OVAs, I'm hopeful that the quality will be topnotch, regardless.
"Shadow Warrior Chronicles," or not, this is one series I'm still going to purchase.

Static-Subs Episode 17
Blessed Yesy!
Episode 19 - Yesy
Edit: A pretty good episode. But of course nothing less can be expected from this series. It looks right now like these past two episodes was just a small, independent arc to develop Karura's character. Whilst this series has had an almost record breaking ability to compress battles and conclusions in very few episodes, and this arc was no exception, I'm inclined to still say that ability was slightly cracking in this episode. Although much of that feeling might actually belong to the lack of any connection to the greater plot and thus greater meaning.
Well, at least we got one nutcase emperor more... Can't have too many of those, can we? It seems like that world has a requirement that emperors can be quite healthy persons. I guess Hakuoro qualifies as well with his hidden demonic side.
The next ep previous promises grander battles, but who were all those new faces? It looks like there will be a whole host of new characters to stare at.

Is this show actually as good as people are saying? If so, mind giving me a little explnanation of what it's is about?

Basically, the main char. wakes up on a sickbed in a village healers house. He becomes attached to the occupents of said house, and when trouble for the village starts he goes out of his way to help them. This starts off a chain of events that lead to him becoming the emperor of a small nation. The rest is, so far, him managing said kingdom. Sorry I'm trying to be vague so I dont ruin to much for you =\. It's a really good series though.
I disagree about the conclusion. Yea it was fast, but it didn't feel rushed to me, and I was kind of expecting it. One thing though... I'm starting to think that Hakuoro doesn't really need an army anymore.
Well this episode was alright. It just wasn't right when the Bad Guy got beat down so easily. He showed absolutely no resistance whatsoever.
Meh, emperors are pussies. Except for Hakuoro. He's the man... killin' muthafuckas with a steel fan. How hardcore do you have to be for that?
Apparently hardcore enough to have a inner dinner in yourself.
R.I.P Captain America.
19 was good, although i thought they were pushing it with the 'almost incest' implied attractions.
Wrapped up a nice backstory on Karura. The flower bed on top of bodies was pretty awesome, but the villian this time was really pretty pathetic. What was nice was seeing the Tori sisters use more of their magic. That was pretty bad ass.
