An incredibly overlooked anime, Deltora Quest is based on an Australian book series that was fundamental to my childhood. And this adaptation, does not disappoint. It takes the setting seriously, and only narrowly sanitizes the darker elements of the books, far less than I would have expected.
I truly appreciate how well it's paced, feeling straight out of the pages at times. And the original content and additional small arcs placed in, while many fans might denounce it, I think fits the anime perfectly and are utilized quite well.
All in all, an incredibly nice and nostalgic series for me. I do so love it.
