Summary: |
Yoko Nakajima, an unhappy high school student, is one day suddenly faced with a strange man who swears allegiance to her. After a battle with demon-like beasts, he then takes her to another world along with two of her classmates. There, her appearance has changed and she can understand the language even though her classmates cannot. But their status as "Kaikyaku" (people who come from Earth) makes them hunted fugitives, so they wander the land of the 12 countries, simply trying to survive and to figure out the reason why they were brought to this world. |

This is one of my most favourite anime. Youko is summoned into a world of mystery and magic along with her two friends. Deprived of her protector, Keiki, must survive and find the reason she was brought here and fulfill her destiny so that she can return to her prim and proper life. Along the way, she and her friends learn the true meaning of friendship, life, and a reason to live but most of all, a sense of self-worth. Though the story is mostly from a feminist perspective and the narrative is modern, even whimsical as some stories are left incomplete and up to the viewer's interpretation, this anime is easily one of the breakthrough anime since... whenever.
When I first watched the anime, it was confusing. But by the time you reach the seventh episode, things start clearing up and the impact of what you witnessed before comes clear. Initially, I hated the main character for being weak and pathetic but for fear of dropping spoilers, trust me, you don't wanna stop.
Plot line is unusual. For me, I love creative and artistic writing so I find it a work of genius. Others who are too used to conventional stroy-telling methods may find it annoying.
Suitable for a more mature audience.
