Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit - Series Part 4



Great anime!
Moribito is a great anime mini-series. Based in an alternate Japanese setting, it is the story of a female guard and her last commision, the younger son of the Mikado. Good graphics, solid story, good pacing. As good as, or better than, The Twelve Kingdoms.

Great Series, Quality Media
This review should be for the whole series. I had to buy Vol 7 and 8 here, and the discs are pristine and play back smoothly. The packaging is slim cases with a cardboard keeper... which can get tattered over time. But they came in good shape. No complaints. As for the anime, it's fun and intriguing and you start to fall in love with the characters pretty quickly. 7 and 8 are the final volumes and well worth owning. The show ends in a good way, leaving the viewer satisfied with the outcome. No strange endings leaving you to feel as if the last episodes were written by entirely new writers. Sure, it has sad moments, and maybe some people would like the adventure to continue for 15 seasons like that other garbage Japan pumps out like oil, but if you understand the characters, then you can enjoy this as a full series, complete and whole.

Great Anime
Great Story, Great Animation, and Great Music.

I recommend this animation for anyone that is into fantasy genre stories with swords & maritial arts, honor/responsibility, magic, and running and traveling around in beautiful scenes of mother nature.
