[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 7876004, member: 7015698"] One of my best discovery of the last decade has been Thunderbolt Fantasy. If you're a fan of wandering swordsmen and fantasy you NEED to give it a shot! To explain what it even is would just make it sound super lame... I think watching the first 5 minutes or so of the first episode will get you into the beat of things: [MEDIA=youtube]1muOeJ4fBps[/MEDIA] This serie (so far two seasons and a movie, with more on the way) was born of the collaboration between Japanese anime writer Gen Urobuchi (of Madoka and Fate fame) and Taiwanese production company Pili who has been at this for like 40 years by now. These things are traditional taiwanese GLOVE puppets. They're maybe two feet tall at the most and the head on these is the size of a kiwi! The details are insane and they're all handmade! The plot of the first season is fairly simple: A wandering swordsman gets roped by a mysterious rogue-ish guy into helping a girl who is protecting a piece of a sacred sword and who is also on a mission to recover a second piece held by a villain who wants to get the full sacred sword. They for ma party with other famous figures of the land and go on a quest. It's VERY DnD, but the characters have tons of layers and secrets and relationships aren't as straightforward as they appear. If you can get past the somewhat alien medium (it takes a lot of its styling from Chinese opera and actual stage performance) the story is incredibly good and the fight scenes will blow your mind! Especially if you enjoyed the Dark Crystal. And dat theme... [MEDIA=youtube]6bcBWenOfR0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
