Arata Kangatari 1


Ok so you've got Arata, regular kid living in modern day Japan who was apparently a track star but who quit cause of some bullying, his only friend just back stabbed him so he's walking home all mopey and whatnot wishing he would just disappear. Then you've got Arata #2 a charming,spunky take-no-shit type of fellow from some sort of ancient era who has to cross dress and pretend to be the princess heir of whatchamacallit and take part in some sort of ceremony to save his tribe unfortunately, the 12 servant knight people decide to pull a coup-d'etat and they stab the princess and blame Arata #2 for the crime. Arata #2 runs into the forbidden forest. And the forest, with it's mystical foresty magic switches the two Aratas. Arata #1 and all his glorious mopeyness get chased by a silver-haired traitor knight and is saved by Arata #2's pretty handmaid, he is taken into the tribe and meets up with the grandma who explains he can't ever go home and he'll just have to live his whole life as spunky-take-no-shit Arata. When suddenly, silver haired bad guy shows up and kidnaps pretty girl, Arata #1 is hiding, but after hearing handmaid's screams of pain he can't stand by and faces of silver bad guy with a rusty sword. Luckily for him it's not just any rusty sword, it's a magic rusty sword. Thus we find out Arata #1 is the chosen one. Meanwhile Arata #2 will be off in modern Japan living some sports-drama or a harem. 
I'll keep watching and see if I start to care enough to start to remember other character's  names, they are nice to look at and I especially love Arata #2, but by the looks of it Arata #1 will be our main player here.
