The narrative told by the synopsis proved to be very intriguing as it described a setting in a fantasy world where two women are blessed by the power of song in a land where war is That's what I was most excited about when I happened across an anime titled Lost Song on Netflix one day while I was cooking. Japanese voice actors work tremendously hard to deliver their lines as realistically as possible, so it's a real treat when I get to hear their characters sing on top of that. My favorite part about anime is when music, specifically singing, is a main focus. Lost Song is the hidden gem of its season. I wish there had been just a bit more time for better pacing to give a few more characters some spotlight or unfold a few more threads they'd lead with and tied off loosely at the end, but all in all, it's still satisfying and a very fun ride until the very end! The art is decent at worst and great at best, the music is enchanting, and the two protagonists are the characters who really sell the story.
You find that groundwork had been laid out this entire time, and unbeknownst to you, a well crafted and clever series had appeared beneath your feet before you knew what you were watching.Īll I can say is to give Lost Song a chance, and it certainly won't disappoint you.
That isn't to say it's only the surprise that makes it interesting. Partway through, the series pulls off one of the best plot twists I've encountered for such an unassuming series, and it's how discreetly packaged this show is that made it such a wonderful, delightful surprise. As I said, it was the surprise of how much we couldn't predict what would happen that made it so enjoyable. Song is a feat that proves much more difficult than you would expect. Only reason I kept with it was because I watched with a friend and we wanted to predict what would happen. I went into Lost Song with low expectations, given from the first few episodes it seems to be a standard fantasy era war show without any interesting gimmick that made it stand out. In fact, I would say it's that surprise itself that lends a hand to my enjoyment of the series overall. That doesn't mean that it isn't still unique and surprisingly enjoyable.
Lost Song is by no means a revolutionary anime that's going to change the game forever. Only time will tell how her destiny and Rin's will intersect, as the two of them struggle to find their paths. She wants to help people with her songs, but with war on the horizon, she worries that Lood will order her to cast her magic in the battlefield. With nowhere else to go, she and her inventor brother Al begin a journey to the capital.įinis finds herself falling in love with Henry and, knowing that the greedy and spiteful Prince Lood Bernstein IV desires her, must hide their relationship.
She was seen by soldiers who proceeded to attack her village in hopes of capturing her. Rin's happy and peaceful life is shattered after she saves an injured knight named Henry Leobort with her song of healing. Rin grew up in a remote village with her family and was taught to keep her power secret, while Finis lives and performs in the royal palace. Lost Song tells the stories of the cheerful Rin and the reserved Finis, two songstresses who are capable of performing magical songs.
