This is the sort of anime you show to your friends who aren't anime fans. It's wonderfully paced with nuanced characters, has an excellent English dub, has a heartfelt beginning, and occasionally reminds us that this is a Studio Madhouse production with some great action scenes.

And best of all, it's not ridiculously horny like a ton of other anime. It's not merely a great anime, it's just a great show, period.

I read a lot of (western) fantasy and I rank it as one of my favorite fantasy stories, period. Tbf, I have a preference towards good character development. And I think there is something beautiful and bittersweet about a long-lived elf coming to terms with the death of her human friends.
