Arslan Senki is fantastic tale of a young prince trying to reclaim his throne. Masterful story telling and good character development make this one of highlights of 2015. I found it enjoyable start to finish and left me hanging for the second season.
The real stand out of this series is the art and soundtrack, which are both rich and beautiful - giving the series a very magical feeling that really makes the legend of Arslan come to life.
This is the first time I have seen CGI battle scenes that didn't not look clunky (*cough Berserk movies) and has set a very high new standard in anime. You get the first person camera zooming through the battlefield and birds-eye shots of 100's of thousands of soldiers engaged in war which is so impressive at times you wonder how it can get much better.
Highly recommended.
