Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit Volumes 3 & 4 (2-Pack)



Starting a new life
Balsa and Chagum have decided to live in a mill on the outskirts of a fairly busy town. Their friends are also there. They have been given a brief reprieve and are beginning to settle in. Chagum has to do some training in order to fit in among all the commoners and city folk. Ther, and e are also some devious people lurking about that may expose them. Balsa almost gets caught by some soldiers while getting a new spear, and a madman challenges her to a rematch after his defeat years ago. They are trying to live a peaceful life, but it's a lot harder than it looks.

This is a great show. In these 2 volumes, many of the supporting characters are developed and gain more depth. Especially, Chagum, Tanga, Touya, and Shuga. This anime is very addicting. I've come to the point where I have to choose between staying up late and watching, or going to bed because I have to get up before sunrise. It's a hard decision. There is a lot to love about this series. These are some great...

MORIBTO SERIES PACK 2
At this point the anime deviates from the original YA novel. Balsa and Chagum move into water mill Balsa has rented from the owner. She finally gets her spear repaired. These 6 episodes deal Balsa learning to raise a small boy and Chagum learning to live the life of a commoner. He learns about money, friendship, and even gets into a fight with another boy.

The 2 DVDs in this pack had trouble playing in the introduction and production credits at the beginning, but once they reached the episode section played fine.

Moribitio's excelence
As with vols. 1 and 2, volumes 3 and 4 take us deeper into the two-world-based story of Balsa and her friends. Again, the animation dynamics and the script are great. A whole-round anime for anyone to enjoy it.
