RG Veda 5
Posted: May 21, 2007 Filed under: RG Veda 1 Comment »Slowly getting through this one… I was a bit disappointed that the last volume was nowhere in sight when I tried to preorder it, which probably means it won’t come out until at least September. Well, I suppose I can take my time with the next four volumes, then.
So finally Karura hops on board after some difficulties on her end. It’s a bit sad that she had to abandon everything, but her farewell was pretty awesome all the same. Kendappa is also a character I’m growing to like quite a bit, she seems to know how to place the right words in people’s ears. Also, she seems to have the potential to defeat people, which may lead to promising things later. I can’t remember too much of what happens after this save for the end, so I don’t know.
I can’t really recall anything else about this volume, and I just read it this week. I still think the series is moving really, REALLY slowly, though. It lacks something important, and it may be something as simple as character depth. While it seems to be doing a good job lately of fleshing out Karura and Kendappa, Yasha and Ashura are left by the wayside. There are just too many characters, I think. I don’t know. It definitely reeks of a first work, but it’s an okay first work all the same.
