I've found my ultimate anime collection. It's a folder of DVDs which I use to burn anime on. In it, is a little heartwarming gem called Seirei no Moribito. I don't think it was every too popular, but it has to be one of my favourites. I don't know why animes like Naruto get so much ravelove while actually good stuff like Seirei doesn't even hit mainstream.
The main character is a formidable 30 year old spear wielding bodyguard called Balsa who I admire. If Sasha Suter becomes even half as kick ass as her, I'd be happy.
Balsa gets forced to protect a young prince called Chagum who is being hunted by his own dad for being possessed by a water spirit.
The story is wonderfully told, and the art is fantastic. It's completely different from your run of the mill anime - by the way, I finished Devil is a Parttimer and it was a thoroughly disappointing non-conclusion.
If you want something that is entertaining in a mindful way, watch Seirei.
