I discovered this anime this year and I honestly think it's one of the most underrated shows out there. I know this is something that people say all the time, but Seirei no Moribito is really underappreciated. Balsa is my favorite female character of all anime, her character is so unique and believable. I don't have enough words to describe how she feels so different from other female anime characters. The music of course is awesome (with Kenji Kawaii, it's always awesome) and the animation can be so good. The novels are also great, in case someone wants to know more about this world and characters.

Perhaps my favorite TV show Solidly grounded action, injuries that actually mean something, solid themes (respect, legacy, training vs talent, destiny vs fighting destiny, importance of tradition), likable and realistic characters, superb worldbuilding and attention to detail (I pick up more with each rewatch!), and of course the music. AND logical reasons why Balsa would be able to hold her own in combat. Not only did she grow up using the spear, but she was trained by the probably the best spearman alive, and a spear has a huge advantage over swords in open spaces. I have the soundtrack on disc, but it's nice to see it pop up here, too. Thank you for posting!

Totally agree! I read a while ago some reviewers saying they found it boring and the characters underdeveloped. "To each their own" I guess. I respect different opinions and I can understand those complaints. Anyway, I loved this anime.

20:00 the harmonies in those strings are just gut-wrenching

I am in complete agreement! Kenji Kawai was a true master in composing this soundtrack, which accurately captured the atmosphere of this beautiful story.

There's a different version in the first few minutes of episode 01. It's a version with all the instruments, keyboards, strings, percussion, and instead of vocals, the melody is played by a beautiful flute solo.@@mbworklogic6487
