![]() The group sets off to find Yugo's "real family," thus establishing what will pass as an excuse for a plot for most of the rest of the series. He's a knight with a demon-possessed sword which has the tendency to possess him. He's most commonly called Grovy, from his English-translated full name of Percedal of Sadlygrove. His name varies from subtitle to subtitle. A series of unfortunate events sees him teamed up with an old Enutrof (bounty hunter and "fortune" spelled backwards, because we weren't having enough fun.) named Ruel and a young Iop (named after Yop, a French dairy product) named. Years later, that child has grown up into Yugo - the world's least convincing protagonist. However, before doing so he is accosted by a Xelor (a time wizard and also Rolex spelled backwards) named Nox, who wants both the dragon and the child. The great dragon Grougaloragran (and yes, I actually remember the name by this point) entrusts a small child to a kind-hearted man. I'll try to not give any spoilers, but it may be unavoidable as some of what's good - as well as most of what pisses me off - has to do with spoilers. I will, however, split the review into three pieces, roughly following the two seasons and the standalone OVA series separately. Let me explain what I mean, in a non-formal format because my thoughts on the matter are a bit too scattershot to come up with a cohesive review. If it weren't so, SO bad at the same time. ![]() Wakfu leaves me wanting to cry, both out of joy and out of frustration. An English version is reputed to exist, but eh. It's also French, so I had to watch it with subtitles. It was described as "Avatar: The Last Airbender with Dragon Ball Z fights." Neither is really true - the show is its own thing. The game doesn't interest me in the slightest, but the TV Show surrounding it looked quite good on cursory research - excellent animation, interesting character design and a pretty grand storyline. And yes, there's a TV show called "Wakfu." It's set in the "World of Twelves" from the MMO Dofus, aka Wakfu on Steam. Does this ever give me conflicting feelings.
