This review was taken from the old reviews system and was originally submitted by Tenshi no Ai

In the world of Urawarerumono, people have furry ears and tails like animals, and they live in an ancient setting. In a small village within this world, a stranger wanders into the town, badly injured, obligating one of the village girls, Eruruu, to tend to this mysterious figure who cannot remember who he is or where he came from. All he can remember are horrifying flashbacks which plague him constantly.
As he begins to befriend the villagers and rise in their esteem, wars begin in the surrounding regions forcing Hakuoro to face these questions: what memories lie in his distant past and who is he?

When I first saw pics from this show and saw the opening I thought, "This is going to be exciting! The people look like cats, giant tigers, winged-angel like people, and they all ride out to war on dinosaurs! What DOESN'T this show have?"
Early in the series, I was quite amused. However, when as the show began to unfold, I started to loose attention when the plot became consumed by little wars that kept popping up. In truth, I was starting to lose interest, but something kept me watching, wanting to know who Hakuoro really was. If you can get through to the last third of the show, things REALLY get interesting.

One disappointing aspect of the show, however, was that the ending, while quite good, seems VERY rushed, providing many different explanations of the show's events and haphazardly added plot elements which are never wrapped up.

In the end, the show got a 7 because the last portion of the show managed to maintain my interest. Still, I was disappointed, because the show had the potential to be a solid "ten" anime. However, due to issues with pacing and unresolved plot elements, I couldn't give it that perfect score.

Music
The background music of the show was quite good. The opening theme was bouncy and enjoyable, but the ending theme was only "so-so." While that end theme did grow on me, it was nothing phenomenal.

Sub vs Dub
This show was reviewed subbed. The dubbed version is currently unreleased. [goldy's note: There has been a dub released in the ADV Films version since this review, but I cannot attest to its quality. It remains unknown whether Funimation will re-dub it or not]

Manga
A manga of Uta has recently come out, but I believe has not yet ended.

Related Movies
A short "comical" OVA was released on the Japanese DVD involving Hakuoro and Oboro eating some rotten food and fighting to get to the toilet.

Violence Details
Quite a bit of blood, being a shounen war anime, spattered guts in a couple episodes of people ripped apart/blown to bits. Rated it a bit higher since there's actual gore and violent deaths rather than just blood.

Language Details
It's a war show once again, so some swearing should be expected. Some here and there but nothing really over the top.

Nudity Details
I gave this show a low nudity rating only because the nudity was confined to the final episode. Until this point, the the worse that's seen is Karura in her lingerie. In this last episode, however, Hakuoro is shown nude twice, but both times anything obscene is are fully covered. Still, every other bit of skin is shown. Kamyuu is also shown nude in this episode, but this nudity is in sillhouette and nothing is detailed. Additionally, while Hakuoro's nude scenes persist, Kamyuu is only for a split second.

Sexual Content Details
Coming from a H game, this isn't nearly as bad as it could've been (thankfully.) However, there was still quite a bit of sexual material involved, such as:

1)Some characters are overtly "well endowed."

2)A joke is made from Eruruu's bust size when the tiger cub Mukuru tried to suckle from her

3)flirtatious comments and jokes are made here and there.

4) Karura ended up stripping down to a skimpy outfit (basically lingerie) and getting pretty close to Hakuoro, but nothing happens.

5) Oboro gets drunk with the twins (who ARE guys) and a scene shows them sleeping together.

6) A merchant comes by to sell certain "health products"


Religious Material Details
The winged Onkami use supernatural powers and are like the messengers of the gods that the people in the show worship (but they're definately NOT angels).
