After watching the first 9 episodes, I can say "Guin Saga" has a lot of potential and has proved to be rather enjoyable. Guin, an unusual leopard-headed man, awakens in the dangerous Forest of Rood without any memories except for the names Guin and Aurra. It is then that he wishes to find more about himself and why he is the way he is (a leapord head with a human body). When in the forest, he comes across the parros twins, a princess and prince. As they are being hunted down by Mongaul soldiers, he takes the twins along with him promising them safety. From then on, Guin proves his unnatural strength to many in battles.
This series doesn't just contain one on one fights, but battles and wars - country against country. Seeing various types of warriors in battle, battle strategies, and creatures - this anime has kept me entertained. Because of the way Guin is, people caution themselves against him, even sometimes looked upon as an "evil spirit". However, Guin's kick-ass skills in fighting, courage, and good will gives him allies as well as enemies. Many of these allies and enemies he comes across are interesting individuals as well. The twin pearls of Parro who are the only heirs to a country's crown, a mercenary, various generals belonging to the Mongaul empire, the people of the Sems (country with monkey looking warriors), and many others.
This series doesn't just have interesting characters and story line, but the animation is well done. The music through out the anime is also top notch - I'm looking forward to the release of the OST.
