Wow, long time since I posted an entry here. About 3 months now. Can't be helped though with finals. ^^;Anyways I decided to post up a review of a series that I watched some time ago as a dedication to Mother's Day. So for those of you who want a little anime-special for the day, especially if you've got mom's who are anime-fans, this is highly recommendable.
A female mercenary who wields a spear and goes by the name Balsa is given a request to be the bodyguard of the youngest prince, Chagum, who is harboring a creature in his stomach that may spell doom for the kingdom. Although hesitant at first she eventually concedes and takes the boy on an epic journey that will prove to be one of the most memorable adventure that the two would ever experience. Along the way they must go undercover many times to avoid the guards sent by his father the Emperor, who feels that the only way to protect his people is to kill his second son as the prophesies and legends have been told.
Lucky for Balsa and Chagum she has many connections and friends to aid her aside from her incredible skills as a fighter and traveler. Although the journey is difficult and time is running out for Chagum as the prophesy begins to slowly unfold before them, they're strong bond keeps them from losing hope of a better future for everyone.
At first I really thought that this might turn out monotonous since it was a period series, (these days they tend to lag a bit), but it actually turned out pretty interesting and surprisingly quite touching. Especially considering the relationship between Balsa and Prince Chagum. I thought this was a very appropriate series to do a review for this day because of these two who form a relationship that is as close to a mother and child one would expect. I can definitely say the dub was well done, so either way you watch this it will be something worth while.
