The first anime I ever bought, so I'm biased, but here's an attempt at objectivity: Unequivocally the single greatest piece of high fantasy yet to be animated by Japanese dudes... though I use the word animated loosely, the art is great, but it's more like a picturebook at times. Just don't expect a high frame count and you'll enjoy this if you enjoy anything at all resembling classic fantasy. Oh and Fun Fact: this series was actually based off of the manga version of the novelization of RPG replay transcriptions of actual D&D games. Doesn't get any dorkier than that. Shit owns.
