Alas, poor Azul, how the mighty have fallen! Our tale unfolds in a village teetering on the precipice of oblivion, much like a drunken sailor stumbling towards the harbor after a long voyage. The woods, vast and menacing as the beard of a god, have become a breeding ground for terrors untold - monsters of such grotesque and outlandish design that they'd make even the chimera blush.
We meet Erika, an elf maiden with hair like spun gold, burdened by a heart heavier than a miser's purse. Her love, Azul, a hunter braver than a thousand charging bulls (at least he was, before *the incident*), is but a shadow of his former self, lost in a labyrinth of despair deeper than Tartarus itself.
The animation, I confess, is a curious beast. At times, it soars with the grace of a phoenix, showcasing breathtaking vistas and battles that would make Achilles tremble. Yet, at others, it stumbles with the clumsiness of a newborn giraffe, particularly in those moments where the narrative takes a turn down a path less...pastoral.
And oh, what a turn it takes! One might even call it ironic, for Erika, seeking to rekindle the fire in Azul's soul, chooses a path that would make even Aphrodite raise an eyebrow. Let's just say, dear viewer, that the solution to their shared trauma involves a lot less therapy and a lot more...physical exertion.
Whether this unusual method of healing proves successful, I leave for you to discover. But be warned, this anime is a tempestuous sea, with waves of graphic content crashing against shores of heartfelt emotion. It's a journey that will test your limits, leaving you both bewildered and strangely exhilarated, much like a peasant who stumbles upon a unicorn mating with a dragon in the middle of a thunderstorm.
