Well, this is simply a bomb, in the best sense of the word — 28 episodes are watched with a strong reluctance to tear yourself away from the screen, which at this age and with a serious attention deficit is encountered extremely rarely.
In my screenshots folder I have as many as 166 files, and that's easily explained by the fact that where it makes sense, I place great importance on landscapes, architecture, and some other little details (for example, interiors and food), and here this element of storytelling could be enjoyed to the fullest: just how beautiful the places were time and again, and just as much did I want to visit them myself. It was as if I myself was traveling with the main characters and enjoying the same magnificent views as they did.
The plot isn't exactly "mind-blowing," in the sense that there's nothing intriguing or full of unexpected twists, not in the slightest, but at the same time it's not an episodic series either; in essence, it's merely the story of a journey from point A to point B, yet how beautiful it is in its groundedness, its simplicity, how imbued it is with sensuality. How touchingly human relationships, the passage of time, and the continuity of life are depicted — how the experience of generations is passed down and what that process looks like through the eyes of an elf who lives a far longer lifespan than a human. This story describes both great deeds and small ones, but all of them are shown without pathos, very humanely.
More than a dozen interesting characters — not only the main heroes but also those they encounter along their way are felt as "people" in the full sense of the word. These are people with their own unique life circumstances, connections, and hopes, each of whom leaves a strong impression — some greater, some lesser, but that cannot be taken away from them.
To put it slightly differently — 10/10, I haven't seen anything like this since 2011, and I'm incredibly glad that there is still something capable of surprising and delighting me. I hope the story will be carried through to the end and not ruined further down the line.
