The Untamed: The Post-Series Wrap-Up

Where better to start than the beginning? Here was what I knew about The Untamed going in:

• There is a character who only wears white and is very serious, and one who only wears black and smiles a bunch, like a reverse Shen Wei/Ye Zun.


• The one in black is either evil, or misunderstood, or both.


• Playing the flute is Very Bad.


• One of the main characters may get reincarnated a bunch? Unclear.


• At some point the character in white gets drunk.


• At several points the character in black passes out dramatically.


• And falls off a cliff at least once.


• Somehow as far as I can tell both of them nevertheless survive to the end.


• There's a donkey.

You know, I thought everyone was humoring me when they said I basically had everything, but. Uh. None of this list is actually wrong, and several sections of it cover large swathes of Important Plot Arc. As a list it doesn’t actually do a terrible job of encapsulating the show.

Wish there’d been more donkey, though. :D

( On to the ‘hilarious in hindsight’ section of today’s entertainment! )

And so we have reached the end, for real for real. Thanks everybody for keeping me company as I did this thing! :D I started reading the book translation and am about 15 episodes into King’s Avatar, so if anybody wants to yell with me about either of those you are more than welcome.
