This series is definitely gonna be one of the gems of spring season - Love the setting and plot and the animation is quite good (hopefully the quality of the CG doesnt drop any further and well be good) - THOSE ARAKAWA SENSEI CHAR DESIGNS THO (so this is a fantasy novel series with Persian inspiration, which received 2 manga adaptations - the arakawa one being the second)\r
Im getting a slight Kingdom/Shingeki no Bahamut Vibe w/ this series and I like that\r
Love the Holy War aspect and the exposition of the dark side to kingdoms and monarchy, human nature, war etc.\r
DAT NAKABA SENSEI ILLUSTRATION THO\r
Thought/sPredictions? - Looking forward to that UVERworld OP\r
\r
Synopsis:\r
In the prosperous kingdom of Pars lies the Royal Capital of Ecbatana, a city of splendor and wonder, ruled by the undefeated and fearsome King Andragoras. Arslan is the young and curious prince of Pars who, despite his best efforts, doesnt seem to have what it takes to be a proper king like his father.\r
\r
At the age of 14, Arslan goes to his first battle and loses everything as the blood-soaked mist of war gives way to scorching flames, bringing him to face the demise of his once glorious kingdom. However, it is Arslans destiny to be a ruler, and despite the trials that face him, he must now embark on a journey to reclaim his fallen kingdom.
