The Faraway Paladin
Rating: 8
A good series. Reminded me of other standard-formula anime, but in a well executed, non-tropey manner. Unfortunately, especially in the second season, and especially be the end of it, it devolves into a talk-instead-of-fighting and unrealistic, inconsistent fighting which annoyed me more than anything. The last three episodes did not feel like an exciting or good conclusion but annoyed me and make me repeatedly skip forward.
Nevertheless, it starts out well, quite good actually, and refreshingly different to other anime of similar themeing.
