Letter Bee


From the creators of Bleach and Naruto, I did not expect anything but awesomeness from this anime. I was quite impressed, mostly because under all the innocence and slight childishness there is an amazing story that is full of mystery and suspense. This anime puts me at peace and allows me to completely relax and let all my problems go. The explanations are clear, characters are great, plot is good and music is more than nice- basically a great anime.

the story revolves around a boy named 'Lag' who lives in a world where it is very difficult to travel to different places and people can only communicate from town to town through letters that are mostly delivered by specially trained people called letter bee's ( and yes phones have not been invented). These people are trained to tackle difficulties along the way like defeating monsters who dwell outside populated areas called 'Gaichus' using a type of weapon called 'shindan' and 'spirit amber'. Lag has been seperated from his mother as a child and is treated like a letter, to be sent to his aunts house. the Bee who is to deliver him is 'Gauche' (Gaw-shoe)
who is working realy hard to become the head bee and help his crippled sister. As Lag grows up he aspired to be just like Gauche and becomes a letter bee but soon realizes that gauche has dissapeared since the last four years. Lag need to find him. so the anime tells us about the government conspiracies, Lags new friends, Lags dingo (partner in delivering letters), what happens to Gauche and how does it all end....


All anime have drawbacks. here they are, Lag cries just too much- i get its his character, but it gets annoying, sometimes there is too much concentration on useless events not related to the story.
On the whole i still admire and enjoy the anime i give it a 9/10
