Summary: One of the best anime I have ever seen
Review: "From the creator of Sakura Wars! In a world where the dead walk, where good and evil exist as palpable forces, a darkness is stirring. The undead march against the cities of light, to capture the sacred fire that is the source of their power. But one hope remains. Called into this world by the magical flame, a young girl named Himiko is thrust into the maelstrom of danger, betrayal, and war. For she is heir to the sacred fire, and holds a power that could save its Guardians... if she survives!" (from the maker)

To tell you the truth I have only seen the first movie in the three movie series, and already it has captivated my attention. The legend of Himiko is about a young girl (Himiko) and how she was the choosen one to save the land. As a baby she was taken away from her homeland by the power of the bokka to live somewhere else until the time was right. The time has come, and the bokka is taking her back but Kutani (a friend she made and the person who found her) unexpectidly came with her. Day by day the power of the bokka weakens and the dark forces are taking over. Himiko and Kutani are separated, but they must find a way to stop the evil ones before it is too late.

Summary: A good anime, very amusing.
Review: I didn't know much about this series when I first purchassed it on a gamble, but I wasn't dissapointed. The story is interesting, and runs along fine. Considering it was based off of a Japanese playstation game. There are plenty of hunourous points, and there is enough action to keep most into it. Animation is clean, and the music is very good. Particulary the opening and closing themes.
There are many extras, like outtakes, art galleries, etc. So I think its worth picking up.
The only complaint I had is that the English voice acting seemed kind of dull and lifeless. So you might want to watch it subtitled instead of the Dubbed version.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Fantasy
Review: Legend of Himiko is a cool anime. It's funny, loveable and full of action. I really loved it. If u like fantasy you'll like it too.

As to why I gave this anime a 4 star rating; well first of all, the graphics in the first few episodes weren't that good for a recent production. secondly, the storyline builds up really nice and the plot produced is great but it resolves really rapidly and abruptly and the anime ends quikly. Other than that, the characters are great and funny. And the story is great that you can get so involved in the story.

I recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I want to see this
Review: This looks like a really cool anime. I might just order the boxset or get in a store if its possible. This created by from the creater of my favorite anime Sakura Wars. So it must be really cool.
