About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like older fantasy anime with a darker fairy-tale mood and heroic adventure, somewhere between Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies and Heidi, Girl of the Alps; Not for you if you want fast pacing or polished modern animation.

Pros: mythic adventure feel; strong atmosphere; memorable fantasy world | Cons: uneven pacing; rough visuals at times; simple dialogue
