    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.

    I agree. I watched it a bit ago, and I'm really really looking forward to it. I was skeptical as I believe most would be about the male incubation/impregnation description but I believe this has the potential to be quite epic. Also Balsa is quite the sexy fox

    Man, Production IG went all out with this series. The scenery and animation is awesome.

    By the way, here's a thread where runspicat is doing some posts about important things that have been left out from the novel. She's trying to keep it spoiler free, but you never know... Look at it at your own risk, suffice to say that no discussion will happen on content not found in the anime here.
    http://www.anime-kraze.org/smf/index.php?topic=11248.0

    Here's a FAQ regarding the series and some translation information you may be interested in:
    http://www.anime-kraze.org/smf/index.php?topic=11249.0

    And to think that this series looks so beautiful and it's not even aired in HD.

    Just checked this one out, as mentioned the animation quality is amazing, I thought it was a movie at first. From what I've read in here it seems they didn't really make much effort to introduce the boy's significance in the first ep, though I guess that shield thing was enough to let us know he's not just some random prince.

    Wow, that was good. I also liked the animation and VA's. I'm glad Anime-Kraze decided to pick it up.

    Amazing visuals (not really a surprise from Production I.G.), though the AniDB description really turned me off from this series. Maybe it is later on, but it didn't feel accurate as I watched it. The praise in this thread made me check it out, despite that.

    Did Balsa remind anyone else of the blind woman with the amazing spear skills in Samurai Champloo? Not just in terms of her skill, but also in her world-weary demeanor.

    Not much else to really say at this point.

    This, like quite a few other shows this season (Sola, Hayate no Gotoku, Heroic Age), I thought was going to be so-so; just enough to keep me interested. I was surprised at how good it was, let's hope they can keep up that level of quality. The only real problem I had with the episode was when Balsa was carrying her spear on her shoulder with her arm resting on it, I mean despite looking awkward, is that even possible? Must either be one really top-heavy spear or one really light arm. 0_o

    Don't expect speedy releases from this group or you'll be severely dissapointed. But since salinde is the name of the translator, you are guaranteed that this is a top priority for the group since he/she only does series that he/she really likes.

    A warning to any out there who don't rely on gotwoot to get their releases of this show. There's another gruop out there releasing subs of this called Moonshine, avoid them!!!! They don't seem to know how to time properly and there were several subtitle collisions, the fact that these blatant errors weren't caught implies they aren't doing any QC at all, stay away if you actually want to know what's going on.

    Kraze pulled their episode 2, I don't know the reason for it, but expect a version 2.

    That aside, I thought it was a good episode. Not much action, but very informative. So far I like Chagnum's character, at least he's not whining, and I have a feeling that he'll get some fighting skills as the series goes one, hopefully some sort of time jump will take place.

    Next episode looks like a very good one, with plenty of action.

    There were some noticeable misspellings. It could be related to their current search for QC staff, perhaps they are shorthanded.

    Chagnum's character definitely surprised me. They easily could have made him this huge brat, but he's actually a really mature, albeit sheltered, prince. He is obviously unused to so much physical activity, but he denies the pain when Balsa asks him about it. He really seems to perfectly understand the situation he's in, and what he will have to start adapting to. I'm very happy with how his character is turning out to be.

    I assume that the person who the kids kept alluding to that Balsa should meet with while in the city, who was very briefly shown in the first episode, is now one of the hunters chasing her and Chagnum.
