Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit 7 & 8 (2pc) Review
Balsa tells Chagum of her childhood in the mountain kingdom of Kanbal and how she came to wield a spear. In the spring the egg tells them to head for the place of celebration and dodging of the egg eater. Shuga arrives with an army to protect the prince. In the end it takes the combined forces of the Mikado's soldier' spies, Balsa' spear, and Tanda's knowledge to save Chagum and remove the egg from his body. At the end, Chagum returns to hero's welcome to the palace and the arms of his mother. Balsa, Tanda, and Madame Toragai are royally rewarded. In a private courtyard, they say their final goodbyes to Chagum. He shows signs of missing his life as a commoner. Balsa decided to return to Kanbal to lay some old childhood ghosts. Tanda vows to wait for her whether its 2 years or 20 years before her next visit.
The volume 7 DVD started sputtering from the beginning credits and finally stopped playing during the first episode. Fortunately, Adult Swim finally finished the series the third time they started showing it. The volume 8 DVD played fine. Media Blasters is handling the DVD distribution in the US. They need to improve their quality control in DVD production. I have already ordered a second volume 7 DVD. Let's hope this one plays.
Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit 7 & 8 (2pc) Overview
Volume 7 -Escaping into the wilderness, Chagum, Balsa, Tanda and Madam Togarai reach a remote hideaway built into a cave. There, they plan to hole up for the winter and prepare for spring, when Rarunga will arrive to tear the egg from Chagum. Balsa finally reveals her past to Chagum, the story of Jiguro, master spear-wielder of Kanbal. The story of Jiguro is the story of Balsa growing up, and the secret behind the eight deaths that weigh on her shoulders. With Balsa's sorrow on his mind, Chagum is determined to learn all he can before the spring comes, including how to fight. But can Chagum the boy become a man in time to face the power of Rarunga? Volume 8 -Infused with the power of the Egg, Chagum sets off to the Land of Feasting on pure instinct.

Rarunga the Egg Eater rises up from Nayug to tear Chagum apart, but the immortal monster has to get past Balsa's spear first. Shuga's research has also let him equip the Hunters with weapons that will let them fight. However, Rarunga is not a single monster but a species, and each and every one of them is coming for Chagum. Balsa and the thers must somehow survive until dawn against a relentless tide of supernatural attackers!

Great Anime - DDTan -
Great Story, Great Animation, and Great Music.
I recommend this animation for anyone that is into fantasy genre stories with swords & maritial arts, honor/responsibility, magic, and running and traveling around in beautiful scenes of mother nature.
Great anime! - Trudi Enge - El Paso, TX
Moribito is a great anime mini-series. Based in an alternate Japanese setting, it is the story of a female guard and her last commision, the younger son of the Mikado. Good graphics, solid story, good pacing. As good as, or better than, The Twelve Kingdoms.
True to the series - Susan Hensley - Houston,Tx
The characters and personalities stay true to the original series. I loved this movie, and I'm a big trek fan.
