Genres: Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Psychological
Plot Summary: Yoko Nakajima, an unhappy high school student, is one day suddenly faced with a strange man who swears allegiance to her. After a battle with demon-like beasts, he then takes her to another world along with two of her classmates. There, her appearance has changed and she can understand the language even though her classmates cannot. But their status as "Kaikyaku" (people who come from Japan) makes them hunted fugitives, so they wander the land of the 12 countries, simply trying to survive and to figure out the reason why they were brought to this world.
Unlike many fantasy anime series, Twelve Kingdoms is not a romance anime, but could be better described as a political thriller. The primary focus is on the reaction of foreigners to the customs and politics of a new world.

I like!
Many stories about different characters in the story, and how some of them end up together, having their lives changed completely after certain encounters, and also how the Kai-Kyakus adapted to the new world differently and aiya just watch.
This was shown on Arts Central some time back, and then repeated in the same time slot.

hmm this has gotta be the most memorable anime i've ever watched.. only the first and last parts were interesting in the middle it's just old-grandmother story all the way
can cut... anyway..6.5/10
(sorry for my sudden outbreak of posts in this forum... i just found out about it today [thanks to gordy] and the otaku in me is taking over not my fault...) -
I love this anime but I seriously doubt there is any chance of completing the story.
The author had no intention of finishing the novel....
