Story: An anime based of a H-Visual Novel may not seem like the premise of a good anime but it is. The plot may seem to repeat at times but it's just building up to some mind blowing plot twists in the end, I assure you, you won't see it coming. The plot has everything, massive battles won by brilliant strategies, amazing character interaction and a romance plot that you actually care about, I was never once bored and simply hoping that the episode would just finish so like so many animes do. It's so good that I was depressed when the anime was over
...
simply because it ended.
Art: The artwork is simply gorgeous, it really sets the fantasy setting and brings life to the character. I have never seen any other anime with a art style just like this so that is simply a bonus. The characters (at least the important ones) all have a distinctive look that really fits there character. If there is one flaw in this anime is they will repeat animations during battles at times but it is never enough to take away from the enjoyment of watching the anime
Sound: The sound is incredible, both the music and voice acting is done spectacularly well, I can only say this for the Japanese version for I never watch an anime in English if I can help it. There is no character who whenever they open their mouth you flinch because it's so annoying or and thank god there are no "Believe It"'s to speak of. The voice acting is definitely some of the best I have ever heard and that brings a lot of emotion into the story. The lip syncing is never of an the soundtrack is simply incredible, the music always fits the mood perfectly and it doesn't get old, if I could get the soundtrack I would never stop listening to it.
Character: While the plot is amazing, the art is gorgeous and the sound is incredible, what really makes this anime the best anime ever (in my own humble opinion of course) is the characters. Unlike in most animes where I find myself liking only a couple of the characters and just apathy towards the rest of the characters I genuinely care about each and every character. These are characters who, if I met them in real life, I would look up to and want to be friends with. I found myself getting depressed because something bad happened to one of the main characters and happy simply because they were happy. And I'm not one of the people that happens to that often, each character has their own subplots and each is there own character, you don't go yeah, just another sasuke fan girl, except for twins each character is their own character and you won't see characters like Hakuoro in any anime but Utawarerumuno. The character interaction is the best I've seen in any anime and like I said before the romance subplot is the best I've ever seen and one you will genuinely care for.
Enjoyment: Well like I said, best anime ever, in fact their is no book, movie or TV show I have enjoyed more than Utawarerumono. The roller coaster of emotions, the beautiful artwork, mind blowing plot and genuine characters will insure you never have a dull moment and will want to rewatch it again, again and again.
Overall: Simply put Best Anime Ever
