    Seirei no Moribito: Guardian of the Sacred Spirit

    Here's another Production I.G. series coming sometime in Spring 2007, hopefully. As I said in the other thread, I'm a big fan of Production I.G. This one looks like it'll be pretty good, and will probably have plenty of action.

    Based on a fantasy novel by Uehashi Naoko & Futatsugi Saki.

    Chagumu, the second prince of New Yogo Kingdom, is the person who is chosen once in 100 years to be deposited an egg by a water fairly, and he must become the guardian of fairies.

    Thinking of him as a nuisance, the king tries to kill him, while the queen asks a female guard, Valsa, to protect him.
    However, the beings live in another world, Nayugu, aim at him to eat an egg laid in Chagumu’s body.

    Whoa...

    So let me get this straight; the basic premise is a guy being impregnated? I don't think they're trying hard enough~

    It worked well enough in the Alien movies. Well, it didn't work well for the guys, but for the aliens at least...

    The site now has a trailer available if you haven't check it out yet. It's the link second from the bottom to the left:

    I have to say that some of the animation looks beautiful.

    The trailer looks promising indeed. I just hope the prince isn't as complete a pushover as he seemed in the trailer. He looked pretty young, that's true, but still it would be annoying.

    Seems like this is already prelicensed by Geneon... Hopefully someone like Anime-Kraze will still do it.

    So he did die, poor Sagum >_>. Next episode looks to be an insane one, hopefully.

    Yeah. Looks like a couple of traps will spring.

    Let's hope we will get a good fight as well. Fights in this series are something to behold, after all.

    Sagum looked like a crackhead. Good riddance.

    The memorizing guy was pretty crazy. I'm sure most of you have wished for an ability like that one time or another (i.e. exams).

    Heh. Too bad indeed for Chagum indeed.

    If this was any other series I'd think they would pair Chagum and the girl. There were vibes like that. However, this series being what it is, I doubt he will have such luck. I don't yet think he's going to end up ripped open like the previous unlucky egg host, but this seems to be a somewhat ruthless story in a realistic manner.

    Could someone explain to me why Balsa decided not to explain the situation to Shuga and run off with Chagum? Does she think the emperor can't be trusted, or is there some other reason?

    I don't think she completely trusts the emperor's underlings because just a moment ago they were trying to kill Chagum. But other than that, she knows time is precious and they have no idea how to stop the egg eater. Back then she might have thought going to that remote village could offer the answers, and so they hurried there. No use to try to explain anything to the imperials as it's even more likely they would know nothing even if they had truly changed their intentions.

    Normally in anime the heroes always endlessly chat with their enemies, revealing everything, and vice versa. It's only refreshing when that doesn't happen!

    ^ Kraco i think ur partially right, but how about looking at it like this, she may have believed Shuga and returning him might have been a good idea, but as the thing was going to come after Chagum soon she needed to go to the remote villiage in order to save Chagum. Maybe Balsa was looking far ahead of trying to save Chagum instead of putting much thought in returning the young prince. Also Balsa's irritation shows that she knew believed in Shuga's words and thus why she was forcing the prince to come with her.

    Balsa'a irritation and all-around air of impatience is also probably because her "son" is going to die, and she doesnt know if she can save him from the unseen enemy.

    Let's see how far they can run:

    Episode 20 - Ani-Kraze

    Alright episode, but next one should be great with Jiguro's past. Looks like it'll have plenty of action.

    What a tease, I was expecting the old lady to take on the guards. I guess its a good thing they're now all on the same page.

    This show is 9 kinds of awesome. It even makes food gathering look cool.
