As the fifth day of the Advent
Calender, but mostly since it's a Friday night, I'm going to be
posting some anime recommendations.
Or just two actually, because I haven't
had a chance to watch too much anime over the past few months. And I
generally prefer reading manga.
But these two anime were wonderful.
They're a few years old, but if you haven't seen them yet and you've
got some time to spare over the weekend, then I highly recommend
watching them.
1. Seriei no Moribito (Guardian
of the Sacred Spirit) 26 episodes
Genre:Adventure, Fantasy
The basic premise of this anime is a
prince get possessed by a spirit, the king feels like he should be
killed but the queen wishes to keep him alive and hires a bodyguard.
In comes Balsa, a female spear-wielding bodyguard. She sensible,
fights expertly with a spear and saves everyone.
It's not a super innovative plot, but I
think what makes this anime worthwhile is the characters and their
back stories. All of them have a good amount of development.
Personally, I just like seeing a strong lead female character-
especially when she's physically and mentally strong.
In this anime, the main character
Ohana, has to live with her grandmother after her mother runs away
due to debt collectors. The grandmother is a strict owner of a hot
springs inn and makes Ohana work. There's a bit of generation clash
for a bit, but there are many other sub-plots to enjoy.
Again, it's the characters that make
this anime interesting for me. They're all rather lovable. I also
liked seeing the inner workings and the cultural aspects of a hot
springs inn.
So, yeah, that's all for tonight. Do
tell me your thoughts if you watch or have already watched these
anime.
