I have this little known anime a shot after seeing a clip of it on YouTube. It's an average movie with excellent animation. It's hard to class this movies genre, but I think the closest it would be to is simply a drama movie. It had action, a fair bit of gore in some action sequences, and oddly enough a lack of it in others. The story itself is basically a fairy tale. There really isn't a love story here, more of a fantasy with some gender bender strokes in it.
Our protagonist is a young teenage female that likes to do very masculine things like hunting and even dresses as a man to avoid attention sometimes. There are periods of the story that drag on a little bit too much, but it can be overlooked with some decent animation and colouring. If you enjoy Japanese anime and fantasy themes you just might enjoy this film. It was made in 2012 and this comment I am writing is in 2019 and is literally the third comment/review on this film in IMDB which should tell you just how invisible and unknown this anime is to the world. Just making it here to my review you should be patting yourself on the back for having found an extremely rare and very overlooked film!
Like I mentioned above this is just an average film that some anime fans might consider better than average I suppose. If you have an extra couple of hours to spare and enjoy rare anime fantasy genre then this one is for you, the rest of you may not enjoy this one so much...so be forewarned. I give this film a 6/10 with points for animation, excellent voice work, decent sound and an old fashioned 90's feel to this 2012 anime movie.
