A new anime based on the manga "Arslan Senki" by the writer Hiromu Arakawa which is based on the novel series "The Heroic Legend of Arslan" by writer Yoshiki Tanaka.
The first episode begins with our main character Prince Arslan, who for now is only 11 years old. The Prince in question lives in the Kingdom of Pars, a powerful kingdom ruled by the wealthy, loved by the poor, and loathed by the slaves. The slaves who are prisoners from the neighboring nation, Lusitania. The Lusitanian slaves are given the choice to either die or give up their god and become slaves with the promise of never going hungry.
One day the prince is kidnapped by an escaped prisoner. A Lusitanian boy the same age as him. He's dragged along on a wild goose chase where he learns the true state of his kingdom, and is presented with the age old conundrum surrounding "All people are created Equal".
What will he do next? I don't know, but you should watch and find out. Great characters and beautiful artwork. Definitely has the makings to be the hit of the season.
