About The Silver Guardian

Looking for background on The Silver Guardian (銀の墓守り)? This action, comedy and fantasy series by Haoliners Animation and Studio LAN (2017) starts out like this. What the story covers: Suigin and Rei both play the MMORPG Dungeon Century. But after adventuring together for weeks, the game’s servers shut down to make way for the latest world-altering title.

Also worth knowing: Grave Buster—a video game proclaiming “reality beyond reality” hits the shelves, and Rei is pulled into it by forces unknown. Now it’s up to Suigin to rescue her from the virtual realm, no matter the cost.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Shuiyin Lu (Jun Fukuyama) and Shostia (Azumi Asakura) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Haoliners Animation and Studio LAN is the studio behind The Silver Guardian, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.7/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Jun Fukuyama as Shuiyin Lu, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. It aired in 2017, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
