Sad and Beautiful Story
The animation graphics, dubbed voice acting, and story are excellent. The best part of this anime is the definitely the story. Its both beautiful and sad, and you should watch it till the end.
Only thing I hate is there is no second season. Without it, this story cannot end!

Surprisingly enjoyable
Five hundred years have passed since the humans went extinct at the hands of the fearsome and mysterious 'Beasts.' The surviving races now make their homes up on floating islands in the sky, out of reach of all but the most mobile of Beasts. Only a small group of young girls, the Leprechauns, can wield the ancient weapons needed to fend off invasions from these creatures. Into the girls' unstable and fleeting lives, where a call to certain death could come at any moment, enters an unlikely character: a young man who lost everything in his final battle five hundred years ago, the last living human awakened from a long, icy slumber. Unable to fight any longer, Willem becomes the father that the girls never had, caring for and nurturing them even as he struggles to come to terms with his new life, in which he feels the pain of helplessly waiting for his loved ones to return home from battle that his 'Daughter' once felt for him so long ago. Together, Willem and the girls gradually come to understand what family means and what is truly worth protecting.
I honestly thought this was a fun series to watch.
I really liked the characters as well as the animation and OST.
Definitely worth your time.

Very Good Watch deserves S2
I keep coming back to this Anime. Those who say it's superficial, don't understand the deeper meaning behind it. This is the story of our lives, the story of humanity, how the few sacrifice for the many, despite having so much to loose as well. In the end, Life is a cycle of sacrifices. It's a harsh world we live in. Same as in this Anime, the correlations are plain to see, even the theme song, Scarborough Fair being player both at the beginning and at the end, are a message, The song is for me the essence of the series, there is potential for Humanity but it rests upon near impossible tasks, and insurmountable losses of the few for the many, like it always has been for our people back to the beginning. Parsley is bitter, sage is wisdom, rosemary is a "relic" of the past, and thyme representes courage. And so we move forward. With Biter Sacrifices, often made in the name of love, with wisdom and courage, and the many lessons learned from our history. Watch it and you'll understand,
Peak
Absolute cinema from start to finish. Ending that leaves you wanting more. I also would love to see what happened in time before this show is set. Great character development and world building and very good soundtrack and voice acting. Animation is also top notch for the time it was created. Would recommend for sure.
