    Synopsis:

    Set in a fantastical reimagining of 3rd century Japan, the story follows Izumo, a restless prince eager to explore beyond palace walls. His journey takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Sanae, a girl harboring secrets and connections to the enigmatic Naga people, known for their potent magic. When Sanae is captured by a warrior from the kingdom of Akusa and brought before a malevolent witch, Izumo finds himself compelled to action. Partnering with Navi, an experienced glider pilot, he must embrace his destiny as a warrior and master the ancestral sword’s power. His path is fraught with peril, beginning with the daunting task of confronting the legendary Yamata-no-Orochi, a monstrous serpent awakened from slumber. The narrative explores themes of duty, self-discovery, and the clash between tradition and a burgeoning world of possibilities.

      The least I can say is this is a cheap budget ghibli movie, but I could guarantee you that you won't regret wasting your time on this! The visuals were stunning and soothing to the eyes, it resembles more of a ghibli movie style. The characters are quite interesting and makes sense.The storyline makes sense and it also keeps me interested until the end! Of course, compared to a ghibli movie, it lacks of execution on production and detail, but there is something I like most from this anime. The music standed out the most to me, I can't stop falling in love listening toit. I like how it plays whenever something overwhelming happens or when romantic circumstances occurs. Anyways, I love it and I'm here inviting you to share this masterpiece with me :D
