Moribito is a great story, which I am always looking for, but rarely find. It has a good, strong female protagonist who is actually believable and down to earth. You believe she can kick your tail, because she proves it to you. You believe she has honor and a good heart, because she shows you. She's no saint, but she doesn't hide it, either. The supporting characters are all unique and stand out in their own way, too. You wonder about their backgrounds and how they got to be where they are. The plot is great and interesting. It keeps you guessing, but at the same time you learn a lot, and it has just enough fantasy to be fun. While there isn't a lot of humor, you don't really miss it, but you welcome it when it does show up. The focus remains on how the characters respond to everyday situations, both dangerous and not so much. Since it has a basis in actual history, one that I'm not very familiar with, it wasn't boring or dull for a minute, even though it's not pure action. I recommend this series to anyone who likes a good story.Read full review
This anime is a must see for anyone who craves a great story. The characters are unique and the fight Sequences are realistic. Or if your a fan of a great music sound track then the music might catch your eye as well. The music is enchanting and in my honest opinion is some of the best anime has to offer. So what are you waiting for? Stop reading this and get it now!

Great value for the money. Get all 24 episodes on 8 DVD discs, all in one box. This may be an older story, but it's great! I am happy that I was able to find this box set at such a good price, new and still sealed in the wrapper.

This story tells the tale of a woman and a boy going on a journey to save the kingdom against all odds. The people around them are willing to kill both the boy and the woman. The entire story moves at a nice pace, and is filled with human feelings and day to day situations. This is not a bloody, fight filled gory story. It is a story with depth and human feelings presented in a casual and natural way. I recommend this series - it is a very good story.

Great anime that takes Japanese feudal era and mixes it with inspirations from medieval and ancient Asian culture and mythology. Engaging from beginning to end, with unique focus on spear wielding combat.
