*insert mpreg jokes here*
Last night I finished Seirei no Moribito, and it was a pretty good anime. The plot gets interesting, the characters are great and you get attached to them, the action sequences are so well animated. It's good Asian-like fantasy and pretty to look at. There are no evil villains, either, not even La Lunga.
Also, Balsa/Tanda are so OTP ♥ Everyone ships them in canon, even. Really where can you find stoic wild warrior female + mellow herbalist shaman male where the waifu waiting for the husbando to return and love them back is the MAN? Nowhere else, that's where. Stupid Balsa. But I still love both characters separately and together all the same, especially Tanda. Maybe Tanda is my favorite character, go figure.
Chagum, the title character and the boy Balsa is protecting, has really awesome character growth and he's overall adorable in several occasions. My only concern was that he seemed to get used to life in town too fast for royalty, but it might be a problem of time constrains. Probably the original source took its timing.
One thing I like about the series is how smart the characters are. Balsa is pretty clever herself, dodging death and persecutors and future attacks, what you wouldn't quite expect from the brawns of the team. Tanda is a herbologist/doctor and a shaman disciple so it's a given, but I particularly love how several of his own discoveries and talents at the ending were what saved the day. Chagum is also quite the clever kid. And then we get to characters like shaman Torogai, who's your kooky yet filled with ancient knowledge old lady, for your interrogate-astral-lifeforms needs. And star-diviner Shuga from court (another favorite of mine), who takes the role of the resident Ravenclaw and academically investigates in parallel the whole plot a la noir detective like nobody else does. Then we have the emperor's elite assassin group, who don't have to envy a thing to the FBI. And Tohya, a boy who's friends with Balsa and Tanda, who might not always be the brightest crayon but lives out of his nice street smarts. And so on.
Do I recommend it? I do. It started slow for me -but I know people who fell in love from episode 01- but it's packed with awesome. And even if you were a shallow, nitpicky person, the animation and character design is pretty. It's only 26 episodes, also.

...I need a SnM icon D:
MY OTP♥ Makes me so happy ;; *pokes Balsa* It needs fic. I'm sure Balsa was at least waiting to fulfill her promise. I HOPE. But Tanda can wait ;; I love Tanda so so very much it's not funny. He's... probably my favorite character too.
But of course I love Balsa and Chagum and Torogai and Shuga and MUN AND JIN. Kickass soldiers were so kickass ♥ Oh, and Tohya and Saya = ♥ too.
Random fact which you probably know, but it's my duty to point at: Jin (soldier devoted to Chagum) = Kyouya. T-the seiyuu, I mean :D
Now I'm waiting for the other end of my chain to work too 8D (Fu poked Liz to watch it too 8DDDD)

Tengo que hacerle más icons, por supuesto. Y sigo esperando a que Di termine |D
A menos que Fu y yo decidamos algo random y metamos a Balsa y a Chagum sin la mami, pero por mientras seguimos esperando.Re: ...I need a SnM icon D:
soy tan gay por ella, trufaxAyer le spoilereaba a Di los momentos del OTP y de cómoel hijo y la abuelaChagum y Torogai lo shippeaban like burning.Dude, que yo vi fueron quince episodios de Ouran hace la tira de años. En serio crees que recuerdo la voz de alguien, y menos de un personaje que ni me caía bien? Pft. Ya ni reconozco la única seiyuu que podía reconocer en mis años fanbrats (cómo me morí de asco al no notar a Paku Romi haciendo de shota en Denno Coil!)
ETA Disclaimer: hablo de Kyouya del que no me caía bien, no del asesino/soldado. Ellos molaban.
sigo necesitando un icon. si te doy screens me haces uno? 8D
Quiero el log de eso D8 Y síiiii xD Chagum y Torogai tan shippers xD
...La aclaración no era necesaria, Kiri xDDDD ♥ Pero es que tenía que decirlo 8D; Porque, totalmente estoy enamorada de Masaya (el seiyuu♥) y um. Sí 8D;
Y porque fue precisamente por él que yo vi este anime en un primer lugar x'DOh y Di me contó ayer que ya va por el segundo caso de AJ :DDD
DO I SEE AN EMA COMING?! 8DDD;*pokea a Di telepáticamente*Re: sigo necesitando un icon. si te doy screens me haces uno? 8D
no, cerebro, no vas a appear a Shuga, que te viene otro rubio spammer y una mascota CLAMP en tus pendientesWoe, no se me ocurrió guardar el log D: Pero fue más que nada retelling de cosas como lo de "tengo un sueño recurrente"/"le pregunto yo, Tanda? :D" y el de "pregúntale a otro niño... como el que tendrás con Tanda LOLOLOLOL". Y luego imaginarnos que Torogai fue la que le tuvo que dar sex ed a Chagum porque el padre es muy estoica y la madre le daba corte.
Pokeemos todos juntos a Di :3

x'DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LOLOLOL QUIERO FIC DE ESO. PORQUE PODRÍA PASAR. SÍ XDDDDD Las amoooooo♥♥
Y no te preocupes, pokearé a Di por el log en la noche |D

A ver si cae *_*
