Arslan Senki

In these years that Iran has been showed as a bad country by the help of superpowers of the world , this Anime shows the real history about People of Iran and how Iran had an important role in the world for maintaining peace between East and West.

It was a very beautiful anime. I wish it continues. Apart from the clothes of some characters and geographical issues, this anime was fantastic. In fact, he displayed the outstanding issues of the entire history of ancient Iran on the way to Arsalan. I request the makers of this film to continue it. I would like to finally witness the events of Ecbatana (Hamedan). The confrontation between the three members of the royal family and the war with Lusitania should last for a few more seasons. Now that the manga of this story has continued, there is no reason to stop this masterpiece, my only goal was to request you to revive this anime...

Im not pro in anime and movie rating but I really enjoyed watching this anime. I suggest you to watch if you like history.

Here we have the usual growing up story of a prince, despite the crumbling of its Kingdom, he has to grow up thanks to the father's figures he meets and relies on. As the beginning unveils it, it is mostly an epic fantasy, nevertheless don't expect too much of the fantasy side.

Drawing is ok but not much, we have as most animes, the epic sceneries on the background but far from mesmerising. Regarding the characters's drawing, usual for the genre but not my taste but fitting the whole.

The story as revealed turns around the growing up, meeting others, learn etc.. Plot is revolving on this, and the quest of its hero relying on tactics (not much there). So not complex.

To sum up, it is a usual, that might make the trick, but mostly forgettable.

There is an 8 episodes follow up, same quality.

Arslan Senki is fantastic tale of a young prince trying to reclaim his throne. Masterful story telling and good character development make this one of highlights of 2015. I found it enjoyable start to finish and left me hanging for the second season.

The real stand out of this series is the art and soundtrack, which are both rich and beautiful - giving the series a very magical feeling that really makes the legend of Arslan come to life.

This is the first time I have seen CGI battle scenes that didn't not look clunky (*cough Berserk movies) and has set a very high new standard in anime. You get the first person camera zooming through the battlefield and birds-eye shots of 100's of thousands of soldiers engaged in war which is so impressive at times you wonder how it can get much better.

Highly recommended.
