Akatsuki No Yona/Yona The Dawn, An Anime With Surprisingly Good Character Development

Akatsuki No Yona

Hello my dear friends …
Have i ever talked about anime? I think i have the chance to talk about it once or twice in here. I am so glad when i found this community. Its one a perfect community for me because anime is something not quite far related from my life. So, let me share about an anime that I thought i dont like but ended up obsessed.

I watched Akatsuni No Yona or Yona The Dawn by accident. I saw it on the laptop i shared with my siblings. She got a lot of anime from her friend. I like reading manga more but watching anime here and there is something fun for me too. So, i watched a lot of the anime in the anime folder. Most of the anime that we’ve got are action type of anime. Its the anime that i like to watch too. Thus shoujo are one of my favorite genre in manga, its quite hard for me to like the anime. A lot of times, i can bear to watch the childish and unreasonable behavior of the heroine. If you are an anime lover, you must know what i am talking about.

In the beginning, Yona is the same like other heroine i dont like. She looks so snobby, like a brat, she talked in high pitched and try to scream every time she got a chance. Watching something like that is draining for me. Usually i will exit the anime immediately but i dont know why i want to give Yona 3 episodes chances. I was intrigued with how the story will goes. Anyway, i didnt read any synopsis on internet so i dive in completely clueless about the story.

Surprisingly, i was hooked. I think the first time i got hooked was when Yona’s father getting killed. I dont expect it at all. Its so sad. She had such a hard time trying to survive the ambush. I feel like i cant leave Yona alone after that. It makes me want to support her, so i promised to watch it till the end. I also like Yona’s character development. She changed from a spoiled princess to be a survivor. Despite her princess background, she didnt get depressed and only face the reality with a clear mind. She didnt bother Hak, her guard that followed her too. I can imagine a princess thrown in the wilderness will scream and try to annoy anyone she can see to serve her. But Yona was not like that. Its amazing how strong she’s despite her upbringing and young age.
