In the ending, it is mentioned that Balsa went back to Kanbal because there was someone there that only she could...
Why did she go back? Who was that person that only she could...???

I dont think there was a special reason. She had attoned for the eight lives and she probably goes back to Jiguros grave to put his spirit at ease or w/e.

Im gonna miss:

I WANNA SHINE ON YOU!!!11

they shud make a prelude just for jiguro's story with Balsa =) like a entire 13 or more eps on it.

What he says is "There's another person that only she can put to rest."

That's what leads me to believe that it is either her father or Jinguro. It would be her father either by finally clearing his name or letting him know that she is OK, both of which she can do now since it was mentioned earlier in the series that the corrupt king has died and she should be able to go back to her homeland. Or it may be going back to let Jinguro know that she has finally saved the eight lives she swore to save to make up for the Spears that he had to kill to protect her.

Bro thx alot 4 that, the subber which subbed my anime sux and from subtitles I got "There's a person that only she can"
Now it makes perfect sence.
Thx again =)

No problem, I actually have the KAA version sitting on my PC (and on DVD and on an external, that's how much I liked the series) so I paused it on that part so I could get the quote word for word. Now as far as what it means those were just my two guesses but they both seem to make sense. I wish I knew which one it was.
On a separate note at the end when Tanda notices something outside the hut I was really hoping it was Balsa coming back to him. I was hella pissed when it was only clouds signifying that the drought was over.

What a treasure of story-telling this was. a real delight to watch. Wish I had found a 720p version, But what I found was still quite good.

I Slowly marathoned this over an entire week, repeating some scenes, and a couple whole epi's. I'm sure to rewatch this again within a year.

Really glad I listened to the reviews, and sorry it took me so long to get to this fine anime.

Yup, great anime. Anime-Kraze dvd rip is probably the best version available right now.

I was looking around for vintage titles and I came across this one. I was wondering at first of why this show is not that popular. Although, the ratings did show that this series is good. I decided to pick this one just for the fun of it.

However, I was not expecting that this show is a hidden gem. I can't find any other shows that will even keep me from the edge of my seat every time. This show really rocks in terms of story and character development.

Therefore, this entire series will get a perfect 10 from me.

Nice. Now to find something as good gonna be hard.

Very well done but also incredibly slow and boring. Really felt like not much happened at all. I'd watch the sequels though. Those'd probably be better as the characters are already have backstories....

this show needs a sequel but doubt it

lol i swear i really cried when chagum n balsa embraced each other. this ending was really great, i never regretted watching it. Giving it 9/10

Nice anime with excellent story

I wish there's more

It was good. That's all I can say and I give it a 9.

This was quite a gem. I'm glad Adult Swim started airing it, because that's I found this wonderful series. It's sad that it got low enough ratings on AS for it to be canceled though...

Anyway, I would love for the next volumes to be animated as well. I just can't help feeling that there should be more.

Very fitting ending for such an incredible anime, only problem I had was the fact that no real last minute closure between Balsa and Tanda but I guess that's fine in its own way.

Okay, i loved Serei Morobito and i really enjoyed it throughout. BUT a question kept on bugging me...

At the start of the series, we were introduced to Chagum. It was explained that the Emperor and the 8 warriors wanted him DEAD because they 'believed' that the drought sign would dissapear if Chagum was to be killed. Thus, even though they loved him, the Emperor and the 8 warriors valued the danger of the drought AHEAD of Chagum.

Later on, we found out that Chagum is not possessed by a fiend, but infact need to stay alive to prevent the draught. Thus, the Emperor and the 8 warriors changed their plan to save him now and keep him alive. This made PERFECT SENSE.

HOWEVER, at the end of the series (at episode 25 if im not mistaken), it was mentioned that the Emperor and the 8 warriors now had Chagum's life as Priority 1 and the Egg as priority 2.
The chief of the 8 warriors even explicitly said that Chagum's life should be saved even if it would be at the expense of the egg!! :S

Sorry, but now im very confused:S this casts some clouds over the main point of the story.
In the beggining, for the sake of the drought, the emperor and the 8 warriors seemed to be very eager in assasinating Chagum, and had no problem whatsover in their numerous attempts. But later, they want to save Chagum even if it means it would cast drought over the whole nation?????

Usually i tend to ignore some insignificant bits of storyand turn a blind eye in an excellent anime. But i find this part to be major.
So sumeone please enlighten me!! :)

what a wonderful series!!!!

only wish they'd shown a flash forward or showed Balsa and Tanda together at the end :3

What A nice way to end this series.
