Synopsis

An injured man is found in the woods by a girl named Eruruu, and everything about him is mysterious. Without knowledge of his past nor even his own name, he is welcomed to Eruruu's home and is given the name Hakuoro by her grandmother, and younger sister, Aruruu. While the inhabitants of the village have large ears and tails, Hakuoro's defining physical trait is quite different as he has neither ears nor tail, but only a mask that he cannot remove.

Soon after he becomes a part of the villagers' lives, a revolution against the tyrannical emperor of the land begins, and the conflict finds its way to his new home. Hakuoro must do whatever he can to save the people and the village that he has come to love, all while uncovering the mysteries that shroud his past.

One of those animes which over the 26 episodes develops well and connects you to the characters you get introduced to along the way, eventhough it's very old the art style is decent and story is very in depth with alot of accomplishment. The characters and their different personalities bounce off eachother very well making for good comedy and development throughout the anime.
It's one of those that I personally like alot and really like the VA for the mc because his voice is a perfect fit personality wise and how it sounds.
So with that I'd say to definitely give it a watch.

I've heard how good the Utawarerumono VAs are, but that the first one wasn't ever translated into English (at least, not through legitimate outlets)--but no worries, there's an anime for that! It's not great to feel like you have to watch an anime just to get to the VAs--makes it feel like homework rather than fun series watching--but as far as homework goes, this went down pretty smoothly.

This is about 30% typical anime harem shit (something I have very little patience for these days), 50% political maneuvering (eg, strategy and battles), and 20% sci-f oddities. I'm not usually a politics/strategy kind of guy, but the ...

I watched this without knowing anything about the games and was ultimately disappointed. Someone who loves the games might love this show.

I expected 26 episodes to be epic but every arc felt the same, war. There are machinations and the theme of endless conflict does have it's purpose in the shows direction. However, I got board with every arc being about war and feel the show could have accomplished the same in fewer episodes. And, maybe that was the goal, to tire out the viewer in the way war would wear on those impacted by it. The show often feels like a fantasy period ...

15 Anime Archers Who Always Hit Their Mark!

The anime archer is a rare breed. These are the unsung heroes of the anime world who rely on a rather simple, but effective skill - archery! Most will use a bow and arrow, and a few will utilize a crossbow. Even if they don't always save the day, they'll look cool as hell while trying to.
