meganbmoore Finished Utawarerumono.
Shortversion: Toss Scrapped Princess(esp end revelations) and Juuni Kokuki into a blender, pick up the pace quite a bit and take out any tendency by the leads to be annoying or whine, and you'll probably end up with Utawarerumono. (As a warning, it's also one of those that thinks it's fun to rip out your heart, stomp on it a bit, then shove it back in your chest. But that's ok, I was expecting it.)
To reiterate a few good points:
*Interesting story.
*Amnesiac masked hero who may or may not actually be the greatest evil ever.
*Strong female characters who kick butt.
*And aren't whiny.
*Or Mary Sues.
*Or require rescuing, most of the time(Karura and Touka, never...they do the rescuing.)
*Male/Female relationships that aren't JUST romantic, or important because they are(and only one is.)
*Giant killer kitty. Used as a sofa. Owned by a very stubborn little girl.
*Hakuoro. Denawi. Karura. Kurou. Touka. Oboro. Mukuru. Eruruu. Aruruu. Trust me.
*The rare mecha I don't mind.
Probably one of the top 5 animes(barring rewatches) that I've seen this year, though I'd have to go back and look to see what all I watched earlier in the year to be sure.
Instead of meta, I bring a picspam.
note: There are a lot of pics under there, and they aren't in chronological order.

(3) "Now hold on just a second!" For full effect, get Hugh Laurie to read that line in character as Bertie Wooster...

I'm not sure I could live through Kurou as voiced by Hugh Laurie.
