The Twelve Kingdoms: A Great Distance in the Wind, the Sky at Dawn [Blu-ray]

This is the third box set for The Twelve Kingdoms, and by now you're fully engulfed into the story and get to see some action. Some of the story remains very lethargic, but I still loved the series; most of the time I like to have a varying soundtrack, but it seemed right to have the theme song playing throughout the anime as it had been. No matter what scene they put with it, it just seem to fit.Just get the anime and watch it all the way through, you won't regreat it at all.

This is an amazing anime that I would recommend to anyone.Amazon has fast shipping, they shipped my copy on 12/15/2011 and it arrived on 12/17/2011.After watching my copy I found that, like the first and second sets, the picture and sound quality (I watched this blu-ray release in Japanese DTS-HD 5.1 with English subtitles) of this blu-ray set is great!This set contains episodes 34-45 on 3 discs (there are 45 episodes total in this series, so this is the final set in the series) and staff interviews.

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.

Ordered two of these new and both had dirty discs, residue on the bottom and scratches! I will try ordering once more and just return them if all 3 are bad. It's a shame because this is a good anime.

This story is not original novel but that is Rival or surpass!!I had enjoy that Blue-ray disk also picture is beautyful!!

Great series. My only problem is that the Japanese audio is 5.1 surround sound. So it sounds really weird coming out of my tv speakers which is only stereo. Same thing with my computer which only has stereo speakers. I don't know why the choice was made to make the Japanese audio playable for only surround sound 5.1. Other than that I have no problems with this.

重厚で緻密な脚本、主要キャラクターの納得できる活かし方など、とても 共感が持てる。

タイトル通り何回観ても飽きない作品です。ただタイトルが「風の万里黎明の空」になっていますがその作品は最終話の巻DVD1枚と後の2枚のDVDは「東の海神　西の滄海」が入っています。安くて結局３巻全部揃える事が出来ました。北米版の良い所は1枚のDVDに最低でも2時間半は入っているのでDVD交換をまめにしないで済む事ですね。それに場所を取らないBOX。BOXと言うより1枚のBRディスクの大きさです。字幕も消せますし画像も悪くないですし安いですし言う事なしの文句なしです。転章も入っているのでお得感もあります。

タイトルは「風の万里　黎明の空」編となっていますが、実際は「風の万里　黎明の空」編はＴＶ版第34話から39話までしか収録されておらず、残りは原作短編からのエピソードと「東の海神 西の滄海」編が収録されています。商品説明が不適切なので、注意喚起のためにあえて☆1にしました。
