About Utawarerumono

Here is what Utawarerumono (うたわれるもの) is about, retold in plain terms: an action, drama and fantasy anime by OLM (2006). The setup: Everything about him is shrouded in mystery. The mask he can't remove.

Along the way, the past he can't unravel. The very survival of the people who have chosen him as their leader. What Hakuoro does know is this: he was gravely injured and left for dead in a forest.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Rikiya Koyama as Hakuoro and Ryouka Yuzuki as Eruruu. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
