One of the greatest anime in the adventure genre. If you have never watched any anime before, start with this one: it does pretty good at representing the anime kingdom and is sure to get you hooked.

A good 'hero on a journey to save the world' narrative is too archetypal to ever go out of style. The plot is mostly unpredictable, and the characters and well-rounded. The dialogue is incredibly profound at several occasions, and the series explores various intricacies of human nature, such as cruelty, betrayal, revenge, resentment, morality, friendship and sacrifice, amidst the backdrop of an overarching socio-political commentary.
