Utawarerumono

Utawarerumono

Mitch's TV Rating: (M)

Mitch's Recommendation: 10/10 (Definite Buy)

Utawarerumono or rather "One Being Sung" (its Translation) was originally a H-Game, which means it was a game created for adults, as it contained some nudity, and possibly sex scenes, HOWEVER the anime has done away with the adult side of the story, and made it more family friendly, infact were it not for the violence I'd give this a TV rating of [PG].

The story starts following a man who has awoken from what was possibly a coma due to severe injuries, he wakes to find himself with no memories of his past, and his only worldly posession seems to be a bone mask that covers the upper half of his face, the mask also seems fused to his skull as it resista all attempts to remove it.

The story continues to epic proportions as Hakouro (the masked man) fights to uncover his identity while protecting those who have now become his family, to explain anymore would give too much of the plot away, however I highly recommend this anime as one of the best I have ever seen, the only downside to the entire anime is that alot of the fight scenes tend to just repeat old animations just with different backdrops. But dont let that deter you.
