Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of the Wind, The Shore of the Maze [Blu-ray]

My only disappointment is that this is Part 2 episodes 15-33. It did not say that in the description. I had thought that Shadow of the Moon / The Sea of Shadow was a different season, but it is actually part 1. I was able to find that out through Wikipedia and got that through Amazon as well. If you can't wait for the remaining 34-45 episodes to be released with English subtitles, the complete series Japanese All-Region blu-ray can be had directly through cdjapan.co.jp or Yahoo Shopping and Amazon.co.jp (through proxy services like buyee.jp). As others have said the sound and video quality are excellent. I really find the story to be so well done. I love the opening and closing theme music and was happy to find that the various soundtrack CD's can still be found from Japan.

This is the second installation of The Twelve Kingdoms and by now you have a solid idea of what this anime is about. It's still really slow in unraveling what's going to happen to the protagonist (which doesn't show up all that often on this one). But the other stories in this box set is just as awesome and majestic and the protagonist. Again, the story is very slow and there is a lot of back story that's being dumped on you, but it's only to help you understand the world that the protagonist was tossed into.Just sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful masterpice.

A+

It is an incredible product. The story is impressive and the quality of the Blu-ray is superb. One thing you must know before buying it. Because it is an old series, the aspect of the video is 4:3 no 16:9 or 16:10. If that does not bother you (like me) it is a superb addition to your collection. The image quality is incredible and the dub in English is quite good. As a fan of anime, if you haven’t bought this series, what are you waiting for… do it.

the LOTR of anime! highly detailed storyline and absolutely beautiful animation. love the music score too. just about the best anime ever. (though I really like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood too). too bad it never quite got completed. still, it's a must for anime fans, especially of the fantasy genre.

Amazing anime, blu-ray quality very good given the source material wasn't intended for widescreen or HD. So glad I could finally grab this one!

One of the greatest anime of all time. This belongs alongside the best Disney, Ghibli etc. stories. This is great to watch with your kids as well. This is one every anime fan should have in their collection.

I was truly blown away by this. My girlfriend came in around episode 13 during a recap and was like OMG how can you remember all those weird terms.I admit normally this would be frustrating and a problem, however when you start to get it it is so rewarding. This show is so good it creates a desire to have a deeper understanding of the world and does not feel like a chore at all. And trust me, I hate learning new things.When you can explain the difference between Keiki and Renrin, and why they are names what they are, you are winning!

ひさびさに一気に観ちゃいました。小学生の娘も隣で観てました。わかったかなぁ？すっきり収納できるコンパクトさもいいですね。特典満載の日本版ブルーレイはさすがに高くて買えない…でもこっちはお財布にも優しいので私も予定外に３セットそろえてしまいました。学生時代からの原作のファンです。でもでも、図南の翼が一番好きです。最終巻が戴国の話ではないかと毎日妄想中です。

テレビで放映されていた時に録画していなかったので、dvdが出ていてよかったです。英語版も入っていたので、お得だと思ったのですが、語学力が足りず、字幕があればもっと楽しめるのにと思いました。

十二国記。音楽、絵、ストーリー、声優すべてが、すごく気にっています。

何回もディスク入れ替える必要がない分、楽で映像も悪くないと思います。
