Is Moribito Guardian Of The Spirit any good?
- Thread starter remzi
- Start date
Here is my 2 cents on the show
Overview (can skip if you already know the jiff of the show):
The series begins with Balsa, a female spearman, entering a small village in the outskirts of the New Yogo Empire where the Emperor's son happens to be staying. As she's passing through, the royal carriage carrying the young prince encounters misfortune on the village's main bridge, falling into the raging river below. Balsa leaps into the river without hesitation and ends up saving the boy from certain death, and for her heroism she is summoned to the royal palace for a reward. Upon arriving, however, she finds out that she rescued the prince from an assassination attempt, and the Empress charges Balsa with fleeing the palace and protecting the prince from any further harm. She reluctantly accepts, and so the story begins.
Story-wise, while the plot sounds slightly clich

If you enjoyed Princess Mononoke then Moribito is a win for you. They have nothing to do with eachother but the genre is the same and both have great action, art, and story.

Wasn't there a second series that came out? Or something of the sort...
I have the first boxset and my only real problem with the series was, it seemed to leave things a little untied. I'm guessing the second boxset I saw has to be the story continued.
Over all the art is beautiful, the story has a nice pace that is easy to follow. It's a decent series for sure. I gave it a 7/10.

I liked this a lot and the animation is lush, even for a Production IG...production.
As mentioned the plot isn't too taxing on the brain but it has its moments and I was hooked after about 3 episodes. It starts of great then kinda drags for a few episodes but stick with it and you will be rewarded.
