But I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the best medieval anime I’ve seen so far. And Moribito does right by not treating her as a mere fanservice character, giving her a believable character development instead. Lastly, Balsa Yonsa is one of the best female MCs ever. They all feel human with how they have their own goals and perception, and the bad guys aren’t hunting the MC just because they want to be evil. Moreover, the supporting characters don’t feel like they’re made just to move the story forward. Production IG didn’t skimp on the action budget - the fight scenes here are well-choreographed and intense (thanks in part to the accompanying dark score). The world here is gorgeous, and you can sense its medieval identity just with how its forests, farmlands, and classic structures look. A happy surprise that’s absolutely worth checking out. But its characters, animation, and settings were better than many shows. I didn’t have high expectations because of the promotional art. Seirei no Moribito is a Japanese medieval series from 2007 that caught me by surprise. Seirei no Moribito (Moribito – Guardian of the Spirit) Second, they don’t just brush aside the sight of blood and death as if it were a daily occurrence - these teens get to learn the ugly reality of violence real quick.Ģ. The characters struggle with handling their varied weapons (and pointing their magical skills), relative to how physically capable they are. Moreover, while Grimgar is an isekai show, its medieval aspects are more than about its weapons and armor choices: It understands the reality of physical weight and how killing isn’t a glorious thing. So when the teenagers hunt down their first goblin, Grimgar shows how the goblin feels as well - how it’s desperate and terrified of dying. The goblins are living, breathing, thinking creatures. Instead of doing a 180-degree turn and showing goblins as cunning violent creatures, this show focused on showing that it’s not a black-and-white issue. But I absolutely believe Grimgar did a better job. In a way, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash is the opposite of Goblin Slayer.īoth shows represented goblins in a more nuanced manner.
