About Erin

Erin (獣の奏者エリン) blends drama and fantasy by Production I.G and Trans Arts (2009). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The premise: 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 formidable war-lizards known as the "Touda.

Also worth knowing: 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.

As a drama title, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Nanase Hoshii as Erin and Akira Ishida as Duke Damiya. Think of it as a pick for viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action. With 50 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
