Utawarerumono

[katikat]

I've been watching the Utawarerumono anime and after having seen 6 episodes, I can say that it's a quite interesting one.

It's a story of a man who is found in the woods, hurt very badly and wearing a mask on his face that won't come off. He lost his memories and so, the village elder/healer gives him the name of her dead son, Hakuoro. From that moment, the healer's granddaughters regard him as a father. Hakuoro becomes the elder of the village and then takes a place at the head of a rebellion against the emperor.

Very good, that one. The characters are quite interesting too. Hakuoro, with his memories lost, remembers only a massacre of some sort and some beast with great fangs. Then there is the young lord Oboro, who regards Hakuoro as a brother and is completely devoted to him. And then there is the samurai captain and his loyal lieutenant...

It is really worth watching even though most of the characters have Chobits-like ears and tails :P What I like the most is the fact that the main character is not a teenager but an adult which is rather unusual...

Is it a fansub you are downloading? The plot does sound interesting.
