Why is it that this anime is so unknown? In my opinion, This is one of the best animes out there!
Story: This is a epic story that tells us the live of Erin in a seemingly medieval fantasy country. Although in long series, there usually are a lot of fillers and boring episodes, this anime maintains a good pace from the beginning to the end (although there are 2 recap eps, and a moku filler but it was a funny ep anyway). But maybe the pace is a bit slow for some people. However, the story is so heart warming and dramatic at the same time, it's a simple joy to watch, even if you feel it's a bit slow. And it just keeps getting better and better as it goes.
Art: The art may seem simple and ugly at first glance. However it has a unique refreshing new style and the colors are well chosen. It really matches the world it describes. I hate CG, but even the CG scenes in this anime are pretty.
Sound: Such beautiful songs! And the song Erin plays with her harp is so lovely!
Characters: Each character has it's role. Erin is so lovable. The voices were very well chosen.
Overall: A master piece. Why is it so unpopular? Maybe it should have been more advertised? Maybe if the main character were a boy with those arrogant personalities typically in shonens, it would catch more people to watch it? Maybe if there were more battles and action? Maybe if it was a studio Ghibli anime? But I'm so glad it was the way it is! I'm glad it was not main-streem oriented. Thank you for presenting me with this great anime.
