I'm really loving this anime. Now that all the 'introductions' to the characters are done, I think things are really going to start happening.
Yeah, I love all the characters, my favorites being Narsus and Farangis right now. I'm also liking Gieve and Arslan quite a lot.
I think it is interesting that each of the members is evenly trained in their sword, archery, and martial arts skills. That might be a rather obvious comment of me, but usually in a series every group member is limited to one specific skill; however, here in Arslan all the members seem to be experts in all various kinds of skills.
