Hakuoro, the hero of Utawarerumono (2006), is a cipher to himself, the other characters, and the audience. He was found unconscious and wounded by Eluluu, the granddaughter of a village wisewoman. As he regains his strength, Hakuoro demonstrates a nobility of character as he aids the villagers. But he can remember nothing of his past, not even why he wears a mask that conceals the upper half of his face. The oppressive actions of the local lord forces the villagers into open revolt, with Hakuoro leading them. Utawarerumono offers more effective storytelling than many series with bigger budgets and higher profiles. Director Tomoki Kobayashi and his crew present a complicated narrative without boring the viewer with lengthy explanatory scenes. When Hakuoro organizes the villagers' resistance to the feudal army, Utawarerumono feels closer in tone to Akira Kurosawa's classic Seven Samurai than the recent animated "remake," Samurai Seven. (Rated TV PG V, suitable for ages 12 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

A mysterious man, a village and the war that cometh.

The story revolves around a man who wears a mask.
Found wounded and left for dead in the forest, an apprentice healer named Elulu brings the man to her village and helps nurse back to health.

When a masked man is found left for dead in the forest, a dog/goat eared girl named Eluluu, the granddaughter of the village chief, takes it upon herself to heal him back to health. The man does not know who he is, how he came to be in the woods, or the reason why he is wearing a mask which he cannot remove. The only memory he has is of the sharp jaws of a roaring monster which comes to him in his nightmares. The village that Elullu lives in isn't exactly going through peaceful times. In addition to ...

"Utawarerumono" translates roughly as "The Ones Who Are Sung Of." It's a descriptive title (not to mention a hard one for English speakers to pronounce--ADV initially announced the series as "Shadow Warrior Chronicles," though fan reaction prompted the company to revert to the original name) and an apt one for a series whose storyline wastes little time in reaching an epic scale. This first volume plunges the heroes into a nationwide revolt; later installments will only see the conflict spread further. ... Read More

Even though it seems to start slow, this is a wonderful story that just gets better and better as it goes along. The plot leads through a seemingly twisted path, with an ending that you never see coming.
I watched the Japanese episodes of Utawarerumono as they came out on TV and, I must say, I was cringing with the thought of how they would dub this series.
When I received the first disk, I was pleasantly surprised. Hakuoro's (shortened to Hakuro for the dub) voice could be a bit deeper to fit ... Read More

I was able to catch what appeared to be the first or second episode of Utawarerumono (what a mouthful!) on On Demand, the other day, and was nothing but pleased. The animation is good, and the designs are beautiful. While I definitely prefer subtitles, the dub wasn't bad at all. Despite her lackluster performance as Nyu/Lucy of Elfen Lied, Kira Vincent-Davis does a great job with Elulu. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this as it comes out.
