Amazing Utawarerumono

"This anime series is first rate. The animation is flawless and maintains a steady pace throughout. The storyline is top notch as well. The series concerns a man who has been found badly injuried and without any memory of his past or how he got to the village he is found near. He is taken in by a family who gives him a name and is considered a brother. There are several wars as he helps the people of the village and other villages obtain their freedom from a tyrannical emperor.



The music soundtrack is also first rate. Even though the opening and ending songs are sung in Japanese, the beat makes you want to tap your feet.



I have many different anime series in my collection and I plan to add this one to my growing list.



I would not recommend this series for children under age 14 due to the extreme violence of the battle action. But adults should enjoy the series due to the constant surprises in each and every part."

A Pleasure for all...

"This story is enthralling! The characters grow and relationships blossom, pulling in viewers who love stories about believable characters(the writers make the character's quite lovable!).

It is easy to see how this story could have formed from a game, with the main character's having to survive one assault after another; the plot never stops moving. When the tale starts to swing too violent or to sappy for too long, it starts to move back the other way. So in spots that get too predictably sappy; then you know the plot's about to twist.

A viewer can enjoy this continual struggle for survival while watching the army battles and the personal duals! The story stays true to war and some of your favorite characters die, but the action rarely stops to even grieve.

But the story goes way beyond a simple battle with it's surprisingly beautiful and rich depth contained in the main characters. If you like action, or soft touching drama, this anime is it! Oh, and it's got fox tails, feathered wings and such are here too..."
