description Guin Saga Overview
He awakens in the dark forest of a mythical land with some type of leopard mask that he cannot remove. The only thing he remembers is his name—Guin—and that he is a warrior of unimaginable power. And when the two twins of Parros, innocent victims of a civil war arrive, Guin knows what he must do. But the journey to save the children means much more than just slaughtering a few hundred well-trained Mongoul soldiers.
Victory means he must battle magical desert tribes, assemble forces that have fought each other for hundreds of years, and divine a mysterious plan that he is central to. Prepare for a sweeping anime epic of mystery and magic! Of violent clashes and dark double-crosses.
help Guin Saga FAQ
How many episodes is the Guin Saga anime?
The 2009 anime ran for 26 episodes, covering only the early arcs of the story. It was a single season with no continuation.
Is the Guin Saga novel series finished?
No — author Kaoru Kurimoto wrote the saga from 1979 onward, producing well over 100 volumes (more than 130 counting side stories), but she died in 2009 with the main story unfinished. It's often cited as one of the longest single-author novel series ever written.
Does the Guin Saga anime cover the whole story?
No — the 26 episodes adapt the opening arcs, mainly Guin protecting the royal twins Rinda and Remus of Parros after their kingdom falls to invasion. Since there was never a second season and the novels themselves were never finished, the story has no complete ending in any form.
