Seirei no Moribito

Another one from the recent backlog... This anime was fantastic! A great fantasy adventure story, where all the characters were likeable and reasonable. I loved the romantic tension between the main character and her childhood friend, but also the mutual respect and love they had for each other as friends, I think it was handled really well. Sadly, this anime adapts only one out of 12 novels, but unlike the sad fate Twelve Kingdoms went through - this one doesn't feel unfinished and is a good standalone. Also hoooly shit, a female main character, but not only is she a wandering warrior, she's also above 30?!?!?? I don't think I ever even watched an anime where the main character is a woman above 30. Crazy...
