    Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

    ★★★★

    this was a very different show from what i had expected from watching the first couple episodes. i was thinking hot blooded fights, desperate escapades and evil rulers thirsting for power. what i got instead were grieving parents, the difficulties of raising a child and cultural assimilation. not that aren't any fights, when they do happen they're very good indeed, but they are very few and far between, the series more concerned with the daily lives of the characters for…
