Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit

Seriously, this show is great when something is actaully happening. Unfortunately, 85% of the time nothing is happening.

Ahhh, a sign of life!

Bet you didn't expect that answer.

People are still trolling this anime even though it's been over for ten years now. Good job.

It had spear fighting. Spears are terribly under-represented in martial arts media.

More than that, it had well animated spear fighting, which is even harder to find. [Lookin at you, Full Metal...]

Makes it a win in my book.

It was ratings fail on a scale unrivaled.

I dunno, I like spears.  The one guy that actually wore pants in Reign: The Conqueror wielded a spear.  I just don't like this.

The spear fights were cool. Too bad there was only like 3 of them.

You haven't seen many anime then. It was far from boring for me.

Tried watching the show on Hulu.

Bo-ring. Bo-ring. Bo-or-or-ing.

It definitely isn't as fast-paced as the kind of action programming that draws on [as], but it is a good story. I actually enjoyed the episodes without any action at all, i.e. the gambling episode, but that's my personal taste in programming. Different strokes for different folks.
