My record for finishing anime is really poor, given my habit of dropping and putting series on hold. Seirei no Moribito was one of those on-hold series, but I fully intended to loop back to it because of the compelling plot set-up and an even more compelling female main – probably one of the strongest female anime characters I’ve ever seen, actually, for all the right reasons. Since I finally finished Aria the Natural recently and felt like watching something completely different, I started up Seirei no Moribito again and was really glad I did, because it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable anime viewing experiences I had in recent years.
