Utawarerumono

Wow excellent coverage and intertwining of pics I wish I could take that much time for anime threads :S

I follow Utawarerumono still for some reason, but it's rather plain so far. I'm reminded of Scrapped Princess when I watch it due to the remote sense of adventure and rather peaceful rural hamlet environment. Nothing to write home about for me, since we have the "mysterious man" and the "cute healing girl" and "village elder with secrets", etc.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The steel fan action made up for the absence of cheerleader sword twirling. Finally, a main character that doesn't use a sword!

I was rather surprised at how they decided in Ep. 4 to:

Spoiler:

kill off Tusukuru-sama! What a lame way to have died, but the abruptness really set off a chain reaction of events. That powerful swordsman that did nothing is starting to stir up intrigue too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
