Looks good to me. I hope they can capture the fine scenery of this show at its best.

This looks promising.

I would really prefer to have a continuation of the first anime with the same characters, but since the new game has new characters I understand why it has to be done this way.
I definitely will try this if it gets licensed here.

I basically.....bricks, when I heard Suara's voice. In my top 3 female vocalists ever. I miss her doing more anime themes.

OH HELL YEAH! It feels just as good as the first one. I know they won't let me down, and I can't wait for the anime either.

Spotted Kurou and Benawi. Nice, so some of the old characters are returning?

Some of the old characters are there. Arurū is definitely there in the clip plus so is Hakuoro.

any chance of the 2nd season for the anime?

or they porting this game to the West?

I saw Utawarerumono way back.. didn't know what to expect but pretty much hook when they started to hunt the tiger

It's a great series!

Yeah, that was definitely Benawi and Kurou together, no doubt about it.

My best guess is that either Kuon or Haku is Hakuoro's descendant, so this is 15-20 years or so after the first game.

Definitely looking forward to playing the game, though I'll be watching the anime first since it will take quite some time for a English fan patch to get done.

The character list on Aquaplus' website (http://aquaplus.jp/uta/itsu/#character) also indicates that Karura and Touka are making an appearance. They don't look that much older, so either it's set not long after the original series, or the kemonomimi age differently to humans :p

Interesting. Hakuoro is no longer the only masked man in town. The wall painting that opens the video shows 4 masks - Hakuoro's, which we see first; the guy with the bottle-brush hair has the left-face-and-jaw mask; the silver-hair-silver-eyes woman has the lower-face half mask (which is removable, unlike Hakuoro's). We don't get a good look at the hulking red-eyed guy at the end of the clip, but there's a hint of the 4th, upper-right face mask there.

Yeah, consider me well primed for the anime. Odds are it'll get licensed, right?

Do you mean the mini-princess at 1:21 in the vid? She's a dead rigner for her, but that tail...

Also, reeeeeeealy not sure the guy that looks like Hakuoro is the genuine article.
