Give this anime your time and it is very likely you won't be

"A mysterious man appears near a village one day and is discovered by a young lady and her little sister, orphaned charges of their grand mother who is the healer and leader of the village. He knows nothing of his past, and wears a mask that he cannot take off. He has a strange destiny about him, however- he seeks only to protect those around him, including the two girls who begin to view him like a father. Each choice he makes slowly causes more, and more, and more people to follow him until he rises from mysterious stranger, to village elder himself, to leading vast armies into battle against unknown enemies. I must say this is one of my favorite anime series... ever. It has a solid and incredible plot, characters that draw you in with their cute and endearing qualities and deep emotions. The story starts very simply, and draws you in - but the plot quickly engages you and becomes incredibly vast and complex."
