Yes, yes! I don't follow a lot of the buzz about anime, but I get the feeling that Seirei no Moribito is going to be passed by a lot like Gankutsuou was passed by: excellent stories and characterization, but just...not hyped up or enjoyed...perhaps BECAUSE they are such complex and well-done stories.

And I LOVE the characterization of that anime. For everyone. I loved how there wasn't a VILLAIN. I mean, there was fighting and dying and all that, but other than Rogsam, who really was a bitplayer overall, there wasn't a VILLAIN. There were folks that were annoying, or had conflicting desires that brought them into conflict, or who had misinformation and thought that they needed to be enemies when they didn't, but there wasn't any obvious person that was cast as the perennial bad guy, or even the episodic bad guy. They were just PEOPLE, rather than shounen stereotypes. I kept expecting the anime to take a cliched turn and devolve into pointless fights, but it kept not happening. And there was only one time when I yelled, "GOOD GOD YOU'RE BEING DUMB, STOP IT!" at the screen. All the other times...though they might have been acting on wrong information, everyone's motives actually made SENSE.

And I AAAAARGHed at the place that 23 stopped. ._. SO CLOSE to the end!
