Guin Saga - Don't let the strange appearance fool you. By the time the dust settles, it's obvious that he is the man. The story begins on the crest of a coup taking control of a royal palace. We are introduced to two young royals, a prince and a princess. Their character and emotions are worn on their sleeves from the start. Thanks to an ancient power they are cast to a faraway land and wake up in unfriendly territory. Guin, a mysterious warrior appears and that's when the adventurous journey begins. They meet a few new companions and the story begins to mix and move, folding in new faces and growing the world around them for viewers to sink their teeth into. This isn't some shallow RPG adaptation animated. This story has some high level strategy, character twists and mysteries.
Will the royal twins return to their kingdom? What will become of the throne? Where did Guin come from and why is his past forgotten? Where will the characters end up if not as allies? And near the end, was Istovan out of his mind?
The opening theme really captures the "saga" feel of the anime. This first season has ended, but the story is far from over.
