I have recently sat down and Re-Re-Re watched utawarerumono TV in HD, All I can say is wow, I love this show!
If you have never seen utawarerumono let alone heard of it you’re most likely not alone, but you should go out and buy the DVD or Blu-Ray set. This show makes me laugh, cry, and think deeply, it was a good experience overall. I should note that I played the PC game, and that I am looking forward to the OVA coming out on JUNE 5th in beautiful 1080P. Many fans of game for PC say the TV series was a travesty, and that it did not tell the story correctly. This argument is half correct, but we must look at it from different angles, from the ERO point of view the TV series was lacking, the logical reason for this is simple, in a game you have choices to make and those decisions will change the story and reflect a different angle.
Also LEAF the company behind utawarerumono had to create something that could be played on TV say in a prime time TV slot, so ERO content and nudity were out. It is widely believed that the up and coming OVA is going to help fill those holes maybe literally with that missing content. That said LEAF is basically giving back to its fans with service, doing what they originally did. PRO TIP: utawarerumono was a turn based H game before it was cleaned up and ported to the Ps2 and then became an anime TV series. This OVA will fill in some side stories, give more justice to the PC game and summarize very briefly, like 3 episodes briefly.
Trailers are at the bottom and more information.
I have high hopes for this OVA and I plan on buying the Blu-Ray as soon as I can. I have been reading a lot about it, watching previews, and re playing the game and of course re enjoying the anime series, I suggest you give it a shot sometime. If you can’t find the Blu-ray get the DVDs, it seems rather expensive, it is your choice how you get it, but don’t skip it. ADV owns the right to publish this show so check out the DUB and SUB, I prefer the SUB myself.
Here is the DVD Dub, just a short from the show, just for example:
Here is the trailer for the up and coming OVA
Thanks LEAF for producing such an amazing show, game and OVA!
