About The Boy Who Saw the Wind

The Boy Who Saw the Wind (Kaze wo Mita Shounen) arrives as an adventure anime by Brain's Base (2000), and the premise is easy to summarize. At its core: Young boy Amon has mysterious gifts. His dad is the cheif scientist for the Empire of the Golden Snake.

Further in, he's invented weapons for this country in the past, but does not want his boy's powers to be used for destruction so he burns his research and tries to escape the country with his family. The mom and dad die in the escape and only Amon is left. He runs from the military, ends up on an island where he learns about the age-old people who could fly on the wind and talk to animals (as he can).

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list.
