FINALLY!!! Since I first watched this show I’ve wanted the world to see it but I could never get my hands on a script of the closed captions. In the end, I went and did it all by ear. Sooo, there are many many mistakes in there, for sure. Some songs were probably made to make me cry of pain.
But I like the story. It gives me the same feelings as Spartacus, I’m not sure what makes me like it but it is very enjoyable. The main song too is beautiful, simply beautiful!
(But I ship the hell out of Sety and Setahat).
This isn’t Aida (A Song for Kingdoms), it’s far from grand despite the name. It’s just pretty much, ‘let’s make some love story in old Egypt’. But it worked for me.
The cast isn’t the most popular takarasiennes, but they are still very solid. We’ve got of course the top combi Minoru Kou and Hoshina Yuri, then we have Emao Yuu as super cute nibante/bodyguard/mercenary/the love of Sety’s life. We also have Ayaki Nao, Itsuki Chihiro, Ema Naoki, Yumeki Noa… Chie might be in there too (she has a good role in the shinko), but I didn’t get to see her.
There are some sword fighting including violent death scenes, and some of the religious scenes reminded me a lot of Christian masses, in case that’s also a trigger to anyone. I… just laughed. I’m going to hell.
These subs should work on the DVD version with a bit of retiming, but I did them on the Sky Stage video, so I can’t tell.
If you have access to it, do give it a chance, I love it!
