Has anyone else ever watched “Watership Down: The Animated Series” and liked it?
I don’t see enough people talking about Watership Down the animated series. While it does not follow the book in A LOT of aspects, I personally like it. I especially like Campion x Blackberry, which is the main reason I’m posting in the first place!
In the book, Blackberry is supposed to be a boy, but that was changed for the animated series. Campion didn’t necessarily join Watership Down in the book, but he ultimately betrayed Woundwart and joined W.D. because he felt it was the right thing to do.
Anyway, the animated series made Campion and Blackberry an item, and I love them so much! While it was a very quick love (literally love at first sight), it’s still such a sweet love. He’s so protective of her, and she loves him so much she’s willing to stay with him in one of the most dangerous warrens (Darkhaven) so they can be together. They really grew in their relationship during their time in Darkhaven; it’s where they’ve spent the most time together, period. Even so, that love is so strong, and they are determined that they are going to spend the rest of their lives together.
I think the quickness and almost “force” of the relationship seems to have people criticizing the couple; the other factor being that it’s not book accurate. Let me tell you though, some relationships are that way. They take one look at someone, and it’s almost as if they just know that person is the one. Campion and Blackberry definitely fit this trope, and I think it works out well!
