- Who'll love it
- Made for sci-fi fans, action fans and animation lovers. If you loved Devil May Cry, start here.
- The mood
- Exciting.
- The pace
- 3 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 32 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Hakuoro has lost his memory after succumbing to serious injuries. But thanks to an elderly woman and her granddaughter Eruruu, he is nursed back to health. His face is covered by a strange irremovable mask and he occasionally sees beastly visions. Eruruu now cares for him as he becomes accustomed to the village and its inhabitants, who all bear strange ears (the women also have tails). Though these people venerate the forces of nature, desecration of an altar forces them to take drastic measures to preserve their lives from the wrath of Mutikapa-sama, guardian of the forest.
