I really really liked this anime! After finishing though I am left with a lot of questions and anticipation. There is no real word that this show is coming back but I have learned with anime that you need the patience of saint. We have to wait for a long period of time for more but 90% of the time we are not left disappointed! You will love the characters and watching this unique group come together!

After the betrayal of her beloved cousin Su-won, Princess Yona is forced to flee the palace only with Hak, who is both her childhood friend and bodyguard. After meeting the Oracle, they set on finding four guys who inherited dragons' blood to help her survive. During her journey, she soon discovers that her kingdom is not the idyllic place she was lead to believe and starts doing some things to change that.
I absolutely love this anime. Yona especially is evolving a lot throughout the season and her character arch from helpless girl to badass warrior is absolutely amazing. There are also sparks of romance in the air, from both Hak, her loyal and extremely hot bodyguard, and Su-won, the handsome cousin who is a guy you just gotta love to hate and hate to love (at first you might just think he's a villain, but it turns out it's far more complicated than this). I highly, highly recommend this if you like watching people fight and struggle but also create bonds and relationships that last a lifetime. Best way to categorize this masterpiece would be as an adventurous fantasy romance. It certainly gives you chills, in a good way, and toys with your emotions. I highly recommend watching.
PS: The squirrel eating meat and fish was creepy though. I don't know why they had to do it. I don't remember this being the case in the manga. I mean, it's a freaking squirrel. Give him some nuts instead.

I need season 2! This show stops around the equivalent of volume 8 or 9 in the manga. The manga is still being written.
If you like mythology, strong characters, lots of emotions, and hilarious banter, you may enjoy this anime.

I swear I'm not gay, but the boys are just so wonderful.
This technically qualifies as a reverse harem anime, but it is a good one. Yona is easy to relate to, yet strong, and serves as a great vessel for an idealized version of the viewer. The main supporting cast is full of wonderful boys. They will make the viewer think "why can't all men be like these guys?" they have a very diverse set of personalities, and the writers did a great job of making them all different from each other, without making any of them a person the viewer would want to avoid. Furthermore, their devotion to Yona makes perfect sense, given how wonderful she is. Of course she is no Mary Sue, and has plenty of flaws, internal conflict, and character growth.
The narrative is driven by characters, setting, and conflict, as a good narrative should be in my opinion. There are plenty of minor supporting characters, as well as the main ones, and the conflict is ever present. Conflict can come out of anything from multiple characters who want to do the right thing, but having conflicting information from one another, to the occasional malevalent villain.
The biggest problem with the show, however: it only shows the early parts of the story. The full story exists in a comic that the show was adapted from, but no one knows if the rest of the comic will be adapted. PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW! The more popular this story gets, the more likely we are to see an adaptation of the whole thing.

Akatsuki no Yona is a story about a princess who is on a journey to reclaim her kingdom. To do that she needs to reunite the legendary four dragons and do something about poverty and crime spreading through her country.
She also has to deal with her throne usurping cousin, who, as an antagonist, is an intriguingly complex character. Yona herself initially comes across as very sweet but boring, which is one reason why I was a bit reluctant to continue this at first. The other characters, who join her as the story progresses, are much more entertaining than Yona. BUT: this show does not employ an ever repeating formula with no character growth and a never changing status quo. Yona does grow and changes as she realises that she has lived a sheltered life, which made her ignorant of the troubles that she now faces. And as she slowly gains this realisation she starts to do something about it and works on herself. Which is honestly so damn enjoyable to watch and excuses the rather slow progress the show makes in the first season.
As it is now, the story has only just begun and the first season only collects all the main characters, which does for a sometimes uneven pace. This is one reason why I'd say that this isn't a perfect anime. Another reason is the animation. I personally find it somewhat lacking, the fight sequences especially are rather mediocre. The soundtrack is fine and so is the art style, but a more dynamic animation would have made this so much better, given what a suspenseful material it is trying to illustrate.
There is so much potential though and as the manga readers know, this is going places! So I truly hope that Yona gets a second season.

Do not underestimate this show like I did. Its amazing to see Yona go from a naive, innocent, sheltered girl to a courageous and fearless soul for the sake of her friends. After losing everything and having a taste of the bitter reality of the situation in the Kingdom, Yona finds meaning in the turn of events. From being protected, to proactive. Willing to learn and change to protect her friends and her Kingdom.
At first I thought it would be a cute, bubbly show. By the end of episode 1, the plot made a full turn and I enjoyed every minute of it. The soundtrack was soooo BEAUTIFUL !!! Also so much detail in the story (continues in the manga). A fantasy, adventure, with a handful of comic moments, sided with lots of feels. Love the relationship between Hak and Yona, and how they cherish other.
Truly, this story is so dear to my heart. I read the manga and was thrilled to find they made an anime of it, they might even make season 2 (hopefully😭 even though I know whats gonna happen lol). Im looking forward to it! Please!!!
// BTW // There's also an extra 3 episodes that you shouldn't miss!! (Akatsuki No Yona: sono se niwa or OVA)

Review of the first 6 episodes:
Yona of the Dawn, like many anime, starts off a bit bumpy and struggles to introduce the story naturally. The first episodes were all quite predictable. All of the characters serve classic tropes and none really manage to stand out. The animation style is solid for the most part, but the characters are very uncreative and one-dimensionally drawn.
All in all, not bad, but far from being really good.
Edit: I've seen 2 more episodes and decided for myself that I'm not going to continue watching the series. It's definitely solid entertainment, but every aspect of the series I've seen better elsewhere. I'm pretty sure I know where the series is going and would rather spend my time on anime that surprises and excites me. Don't get me wrong, few will regret watching this anime, but few will be truly fascinated by it.

If you like historical fantasy animes with legends, kings, kingdoms, armies, dragons, very good action scenes and the handsomest! Boys this one is for you. Its sweet, its funny, but it is serious and its heartbreaking. Just the right amount of romance, adventure, humour, tragedy, fights, politics, love, and of course badass dragon warriors. The animation is beautiful. Yona has one of the best character developments I've come across in this type of anime. And other characters are so well written overall, they all have their own backstories and motives, no one is shallow or overlooked. Its a well crafted universe. The plot is coming together slowly but beautifully. Nicely done reverse harem where the heroine is not stupid,naive or overly dependent on others around her but instead she can decide for herself and in fact (well, spoiler!) is "the brain of the operation". She is noble, she is smart, she is courageous. We stan Yona.
I dont understand who in their right mind would not continue with the second season, especially while the manga is still coming out and there is enough content for at least another 2 seasons ( anime follows the first 47 chapters and right now there are 208). The story was so good and the first season was left with the cliffhanger so i HAD to continue reading the manga and oh boy what a good read it was. (Again, a lil spoiler) At the end of the season we are introduced to the yellow dragon Zeno and that is the point where the dragon warriors are finally gathered and ready to go rain down hell on Yonas enemies (symbolically speaking). And thats where they decided to stop. Just when things were going to get even more better. Such a shame, the later seasons would definitely be better than the first one. I hope someone will see the potential and set things right. MEANWHILE if you want to continue the journey I highly suggest you read the manga. It's really, reeeaalllyyy good.
P. S. If you plan on reading the manga later, dont watch OVAs because they will spoil the 104-107 (i think so but im not 100% sure) chapters for you. I recommend first reading it and then watching it.

I originally watched this series a few years ago and fell instantly in love with it. The adventure! The romance! It was just such a wonderful story and so well done. I fell in love with the characters right away. I was sad then that there was no further seasons past the first. Coming back to it a few years later I fell in love all over again. This time I hunted down the original Manga series and have caught up on everything they have published this far. Season one was amazing but the story gets even better!! I would love nothing more than for it to gain the popularity needed for the studio to continue with the anime.

i was like before watching "yeah whatever will watch and blah blah blah " but when watched i was like "oh em ggggggg" .this anime is stupendobulously fantastic.its not like of those boring shoujo mangas in fact it has all a anime lover wants to see.i thought the girl will be fragile and flirty type but yona is surprisingly a strong girl and kind of reminds me of kagome of inuysha.the anime is filled with handsome sexy boys n they r not those usual but so strong and handsome u will go crazy over them.even the main villain is supposed to carry our hate part but even that ain't happening.i finished it within 3 days as i was like "now what will happen next and next".it ended i m sad .hope there will be a season 2 soon ...pls goooood kami samaaaaa

I don't feel enough incentive to give this show an in depth critique, so here are my thoughts summarized:
Found it mostly boring, the show takes forever just to show a reasonably uneventful plot, a chore to finish and didn't even conclude. Did have great chemistry between characters, and did have some great moments.

Start with season 2 already!! Even if I have been keeping up with manga, it's no good unless I can see all of it on screen and just not on page. The story line is that magnificent. Just start considering it already.

I've watched this is anime more than 10 times and still reading this ongoing manga. The storyline getting more interesting and fun that you can't stop read it. All the characters developed and grown. Each of them has their own story, how they connect to each other and how they protect each other. Everything slowly come into place.
This anime DESERVE A LOT OF SEASON as the manga already reach 39 vol and more to come. Fan want to see this on screen.
Maybe it's late but I REALLY HOPE that new season will be released and a lot more will for to this anime.
YONA OF THE DAWN DESERVE MORE SCREENTIME.
