Review of the first 6 episodes:
Yona of the Dawn, like many anime, starts off a bit bumpy and struggles to introduce the story naturally. The first episodes were all quite predictable. All of the characters serve classic tropes and none really manage to stand out. The animation style is solid for the most part, but the characters are very uncreative and one-dimensionally drawn.
All in all, not bad, but far from being really good.
Edit: I've seen 2 more episodes and decided for myself that I'm not going to continue watching the series. It's definitely solid entertainment, but every aspect of the series I've seen better elsewhere. I'm pretty sure I know where the series is going and would rather spend my time on anime that surprises and excites me. Don't get me wrong, few will regret watching this anime, but few will be truly fascinated by it.
