The Epified Mahabharata:
Time for the second set of episodes!
I can not emphasize enough how useful these "Catch up" intros are.
So Gunti can call god's down to ...make her with child... Seems a bit overpowered, wow.
I completely missed the origin of the Pandavas in the original reading. It is a lot easier to understand the complicated story in video form.
She DROPPED HER BABY! Hold up, that is insane. I know he turned out fine since he is the sin of a god, but seriously...
Where in the world did this story of 100 vat born children get thought up, it is bizarre to think about how someone thought of this.
So they had 100 ugly children. The way they treat this in the story is kind of hilarious.
The attempted betrayal of the Pandavas is even more grizzly seeing visually that they are all just young kids.
Some of these stories, like the snake story, seemed to have changed a bit in the animated version. i wonder if this has anything to do with different tellings, or if the creators of the animated version just wanted something more visually interesting.
I really like this version of the story where the reeds form a rope!
A fairly average young adult novel could be written about the Pandavas training days I think.
The peasant archer story is still sad, even as a cartoon.
