There are alot of great animes that fly under the mainstream radar, they don't get alot of advertising and you don't see them for sale on the shelves of your local store, which is a shame.
Seirei no Moribito, or 'Guardian of the sacred spirit' is one such gem of an anime! It follows the story of the heroine Balsa as she guards the young prince Chagum from a sinister plot to assassinate him. Why assassinate him you ask (^_^?) An ancient water spirit resides within Chagums body, the water spirit is a creature of legend, they know no truths abouts its purpose, and through out the series the secrets are slowly revealed.
Balsa is an exceptional spear master, making her a formidable opponent for her foes. Not only does she wield strenght, but kindness and wisdom also. It is a very thoughtful anime with an inspiring story containing moral and philosophical undertones.
