Arc the Lad… really wierd title. I watched this show on a whim. I really didn’t know what it was about, but it turned out to be pretty good. It’s a pretty standard plot line, but it does have a few twists.

The story is about a kid called Elk. He’s a bounty hunter. He lives in a world that has both primative technology and some pretty advanced technology too. There is a great evil in the world that is trying to take over, but Elk doesn’t really care much about it. He just wants revenge against a guy named Arc who owns the space ship that just happened to be flying above his village when it was attacked and everyone besides him was killed. Elk also meets up with Lieza (the one with the braids in the picture) who has a very large pet lion like creature called Pandit. Lieza and Pandit are being chased by some evil force and Elk sets off with them to try and save the two of them while still seeking his revenge.

Ok, that description is probably very confusing, but that’s because the plot has many points and subplots and side stories etc. It’s good because it sucks you in, but at times it’s just kind of… hard to explain.

This show wasn’t anything special, but if you like a good action story then this wouldn’t be a waste of time. It’s better than a lot of stuff out there, but it isn’t the greatest piece of fiction either. This time I’m going to go with what the majority on ANN says, I think they have hit it right on the head.

Rating: Good, worth seeing.
