About Erin

Here is what Erin (獣の奏者エリン) is about, retold in plain terms: a drama and fantasy anime by Production I.G and Trans Arts (2009). What the story covers: In the land of Ryoza, the neighboring provinces of Shin-Ou and Tai-Kou have been at peace. Queen Shinou is the ruler of Ryoza and her greatest general, Grand Duke Taikou, defends the realm with his army of mighty war-lizards known as the "Touda.

Beyond that: Although the two regions have enjoyed a long-standing alliance, mounting tensions threaten to spark a fierce civil war. Within Ake, a village in Tai-Kou tasked with raising the Grand Duke's army, lives Erin, a bright girl who spends her days watching the work of her mother Soyon, the village's head Touda doctor. While under Soyon's care, a disastrous incident befalls the Grand Duke's strongest Touda, and the peace that Erin and her mother had been enjoying vanishes as Soyon is punished severely.

With drama at the core, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Nanase Hoshii as Erin and Akira Ishida as Duke Damiya. It will appeal most to viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. The run is 50 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
