Note: Utawarerumono is translated as “The One Being Sung”.

I first came across this anime when listening to a song on the Your-Mom fansub site. I retrieved the mp3 playing and read the ID3 tag, which lead me to find this anime. Amazing.

Adventure, loyalty, guts, blood. All of these words could be used to describe this anime, but I’m just going to go with one this time: Awesome. If you have not seen this, be prepared.

From www.animenewsnetwork.com:

Hakuoro has lost his memory after succumbing to serious injuries; but thanks to a elderly woman and her granddaughter Eruruu, he is nursed back to health. His face is covered by a strange irremovable mask and he occasionally sees beastly visions. Eruruu now cares for him as he becomes accustomed to the village and its inhabitants who all bear strange ears (the women have tails too). Though these people venerate the forces of nature, desecration of an alter forces them to take drastic measures to preserve their lives from the wrath of Mutikapa-sama, guardian of the forest.

You can download the entire series, episodes 1-26, plus the special, at The Pirate Bay (torrent).
