    Okay I know we've passed the sweet Tasuki episode but I still can't help noticing in every single episode what a great guy he is. The main reason I prefer him over Hotohori and Tomahome is because he loves Miaka so much but never forces his love on her. He is so content with just being there for her as a friend in the background, and protecting her when she needs it or just making her laugh when she's sad. Hotohori makes Miaka feel too guilty about not loving him, and Tomahome always gets so pushy whenever Miaka rejects him in any way. But Tasuki never tries to be more than a friend to Miaka even though it's clear that he has strong feelings for her.

    "Yui loves you, that's why she works so hard trying to hate you." Now that's golden nugget of wisdom i can reflect on in real life.

      Same. Up until now I still think about it. And that words of wisdom Miaka told to Amiboshi about running away and taking the challenge.

      Actually, he did get an upgrade. His spiritual power was increased, which in turn made him a more powerful fighter then he previously was.

    @Dreamavere 10 лет назад +67

    I love this show so much, I have done for many years, but there's just one thing that really bothers me: at this point both Miaka and Yui believe Yui is no longer a virgin due to being "raped" upon arriving in the world of the book, but Taiitskun told Miaka that a Priestess must be pure to summon their respective Gods... so why didn't Miaka think "Hang on, Yui isn't a Virgin so how can she continue her mission to summon Seiryu?" And why didn't Tamahome figure it out either, after all, Miaka would tell him she has to be pure to summon Suzaku so how come he didn't put the dots together? As funny and as loveable Miaka and Tamahome are they're not very bright are they??? Aww bless :-)

    • @rosiisawesome
      @rosiisawesome 10 лет назад +13

      Both priestesses didn't have to be virgins at first if they have all the 7 warriors & the Scrolls, but since Miaka burned the scroll, & Yui lost one of her warriors, they would have to gain the two Artifacts from Hokan & Saito.

    • @anti-villain7492
      @anti-villain7492 10 лет назад +7

      SillyBunny No, I think they always had to be virgins. Like, from the time they accepted the role to the end.

    • @DepletedAntikytheria
      @DepletedAntikytheria 2 года назад +1

      I was just poking through comments and found this one - Chichiri doesn't get the credit he's due for the way he closes this episode and his revelation about his own loss and Yui's feelings about Miaka....
      Chichiri is truly undersold as a companion in comparison to the others but the older I get...
      ... The more I appreciate him.

    Yoo she’s so dramatic. She could have literally just said “I’m sorry tomahome, but I don’t think now’s the right time for us to marry, but I promise we can later in the future.” But nooo she exaggerated the whole thing talking bout how she doesn’t love him anymore and that he’s just a Suzaku warrior and he’s taking things too far. Like damn girl the situation wasn’t that deep

  • @paololerin0818
    @paololerin0818 7 месяцев назад +1

    That line from Chichiri: I am sure that Yui does love you, you know, even more than you think she does, even when she doesnt realise it herself, she loves you a lot. That's why she works so hard to hate you, and that's why you'll be able to save her in the end, you know.

  • @glorygloryholeallelujah

    *(“I kNoW jUsT hOw YoU fEeL!”)*
    Yup, because the death of the soul-connected sibling and best friend that you were born into the world with-is *TOTALLY* an “apples to apples” comparison to having the stalking victim/hostage that you’ve known and been crushing on for a couple weeks, running away from their prison once they shook off the Stockholm syndrome that was clouding their judgement-…
    They’re basically exact copy/paste scenarios to each other. 🤣🤦‍♀️

    Only problem I have with this anime is who are the other two priestesses for the other two lands and why the story didn't include them since this is about the God's of Chinese Irvin seems like a HUGH freaking gap is missing from this.

    • @itsjuicenotwine
      @itsjuicenotwine 10 лет назад +8

      They only appear when they are needed . Yui and Miaka came because Kutou and Konan were at war with each other , Kutou wanted to take over Konan. I don't think there's a gap in the story , it can be understood.

    "Normal girl?" Seriously? If this has happened nowadays he would have gotten a swift kick in the balls. Impressive how she was able to handle herself thou. Especially if it had been a real bad guy.

    "well your legs are shorter than mine so yeah!"

    I like them both. I think it was cute in the book series when they got to Tamahome's village when it showed a chibi Chichri and it said,"NO DA!"

      It's the watermark for a site that use to torrent the series. It's not apparent on any official releases of the series
