AniWorthWellber no Monogatari: Sisters of Wellber
Introduction
10 years since the great war, tensions were mounting within the country of Wellber, which was barely capable of keeping peace, as war could commence at any time with its neighboring country, Sangatras. In order to avoid warfare, the king of Wellber, Haidel planned on marrying off his daughter, Princess Rita, to Sangatras` Prince Guernia.
However, Rita stabbed her groom to be and ran away. Infuriated, Sangatras` King Ranbahnhof threatens to wage war unless Rita is captured and publicly executed within 14 days. In order to avoid the worst case scenario, Rita decides to head for the neutral country of Greedom.
Meanwhile, the woman thief Tina sneaks into Castle Wellber, seeking its treasures, when she happens to witness the stabbing of Guernia by Rita.
Whether it be by coincidence or necessity, Tina receives information that the "Wasp Man" she was after is in Greedom, her sworn enemy who took the life of her parents.
Tina agrees to become Rita`s bodyguard as they head out to Greedom. Shouldering their fate and destiny, the two meet, leave, and set out on their journey. What awaits them is war or peace, vengeance or death...

While I enjoyed watching “Sisters Of Wellber” I can not label it as good since it has some flaws that can come over as quite disappointing to the viewer.
“Sisters Of Wellber” starts off with an epic instrumental opening track that gives the impression of a adventure game's opening melody where you expect an epic tale of grand proportions in a medieval fantasy setting with suspense, action and drama will unfold before you.
The basic plot of “Sisters Of Wellber” is standard fare but has proved its worth in different incarnations in many series and movies before. Rita Sior, the princess of the kingdom of Wellber, is forcefully betrothed to Gernia, the prince of Sangatras in a marital alliance designed to prevent war between both countries. Tina, a female…

Wellber no monogatari is a story about a fugitive princess on the run for her life. Coincidentally, she is set out to perform a task to relay an important document that could potentially save her country from war. The story is a little bit more detailed than that but if you watch the first episode it will all make sense. Right off the bat, you will notice that everything happens a little fast. It's a shame that most of the show isn't as action packed as one would assume from a fugitive anime.
The story isn't very exciting as it could have been. Its basically her comrades going from town to town running from "the law." Each episode is quite average and doesn't feel very unique. Instead of focusing more on the action escaping from persecution, it focuses more on the bond between the prin…

This anime was enjoying to watch, rather then exciting.
The Story was a bit low-leveled, but that doesn't make much of a difference when you are watching it.
The Art was great, in short: nothing to complain about. "Easy to watch" as I say.
The Sound had a 'feeling to it', (Hmm, how to explain) I mean it had no bad side, but it wasn't over expectation.
The Characters were so...mewhat typical, they were acting mature (no childish actions) Tina is a(n easy to get drunk) thief and Rita is a well thought princess, nothing more to say.
My Enjoyment As i said before (well, i meant to say it), if you expect much of this anime, don't watch it. It is an anime purely for watching, nothing to get excited about, nevertheless a great show!!
Overall Score I based the score a bit on my Enjoyement, i…
