Wakfu Review
Wakfu is a French anime that was originally an online platform game, a little different than most animes that come out of Japan. This anime is filled with humor that will keep you laughing. The show has a noble story of a young adopted boy searching for his real family and his adventures with his friends on the way. I just finished half of the first season and can't wait to watch the rest. I will explain the characters in this post and later do individual reviews for each episode.
The characters:
An anime would not be complete without our hero, a young boy named Yugo and his Tofu (small yellow bird) companion Az.
Yugo- is a good-natured 12-year-old Eliatrope who only recently discovered his powers, and went on a mission to find his true family
Nox- A Xelor with twisted and obsessive motives, constantly pursuing Grougaloragran on his travels, as well as constantly searching for sources of Wakfu to absorb. Nox proves to be a dangerous enemy and often speaks with an insane-sounding giggle at the end of each sentence. (only in the first two episodes so far)
Grougaloragran- a mysterious old man (In actuality, a great black dragon) who cares for the infantile Yugo and later must hide him from the dangerous Nox. He is incredibly strong with the ability to breathe fire. Nox on their first battle guessed he was a dragon (only in first episode of the first season so far)
Ruel Stroud- is an old friend of Yugo's adoptive father Alibert, as well as a treasure- and bounty-hunter known as an Enutrof. As a favour to Alibert, Ruel agrees to accompany Yugo on his travels. Ruel is noteworthy for his incredible greed and stinginess, sometimes the only way to wake him up is to mention money or so distracted by money he will completely ignore the danger they are in, but also his skill as a fighter and his commitment to seeing Yugo through trouble. Ruel wields a gold-plated shovel for a weapon.
Alibert- bounty hunter turned mayor/inn keeper, he is also the adoptive father of Yugo
Sir Sadlygrove Percidal (Messire Tristepin Percedal)- a 16-year-old lop, is a "Knight of the Order of the Guardians of the Shushus", entrusted with the guardianship of the demon-sword Rubilax
Princess Amalia Sheran Sharm - known as the Adventurer-Princess, she is a 13-year-old being called a Sadidia. Because of this, she is able to talk to plants as well as control them
Evangelyne- a 17-year-old Cra, Evangelyne is accompanying the Sadida princess Amalia as a bodyguard. She is committed to her job, but also acts as an older sister to the young Amalia. She wields a bow that can fire a variety of magic arrows, making a quiver unnecessary.
Keep a look out for the next posts about the actual episodes, see ya later!

Also if you plan on watching this anime, which you should, I was unable to find an English dubbed version of it. Even with the subtitles it is still really good.
