Review of The Heroic Legend of Arslan

I was afraid that when I began Arslan Senki, I would find myself comparing it to it's mangaka's other work "Fullmetal Alchemist", but as soon as I saw the first episode, I knew that that would not be an issue. The main things I adored about Arslan Senki were the plot, characters, and music. I have a love for medieval style anime (the genre of medieval in general as a matter of fact), and I enjoy fight scenes. Arslan Senki gave me so much of that. Prince Arslan went through a time of maturation and development that you could progressively see throughout the entire series andyou were rooting for him along the way. I hope there is a season 2 and I will continue reading the manga. I hope the video game comes here to the States. If you haven't seen Arslan Senki, I highly recommend you do.
