Seirei no Moribito subbed
Small:
Great animation and action, good plot and realistic characters, setting: historical japan, Go watch it if you have time.
Lengthly:
An Excellent first episode for an anime set in historical Japan, usually they bore you to death with these historical animes by emphasizing on traditions and crap so much, but here the story matters.
The protagonist is a spear wielding woman, WAIT! continue reading! its not a loli ninja, its a 30 year old woman, her character so far comes as strong willed, something like a modern independent woman in old times. I wont say more about her character, it'll be spoilers.
There is some very neat 3D-2D background mixes that make the show look much better, but its not like those lame 3ds that pops out to you, its casting 2D backgrounds paintings on 3D geometry which allows for a certain amount of freedom for the camera rotation, usually this is not done in low budget animation.
Also, there is 2 action scenes so far, perhaps, much more to come, but its meaningful action, not mindless. not blood spilled so far.
