One of my favorite anime. <3 I just rewatched it a couple months ago. I LOVE BALSA. <333 The storyline is just so great...and the art quality is top-notch.

Moribito really is a great anime. It gives very interesting cultural perspectives throughout the show (the imperial versus the commoner is an example, I guess). I appreciated that a lot.
And the show is very Japanese but not so much as to be off-putting, like you said. It's fairly easy to write off things as historical ways or mythological ways, etc. And perhaps someone who's interested enough would even go so far as to research all the history and mythology behind the show! That would be fun.

That settles it, now I need to watch this damn show. Too many people are giving it such high praise for me to not give it a look.
