What is the Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth Anime About?
For anyone not aware, Utawarerumono is an anime series based on a tactical RPG visual novel franchise of the same name. Mask of Truth is the final game in the series and the third season of the anime.
The story revolves around Hakuoro, a man who wakes up in a mysterious world, saved by a young girl and her family. He joins their village and discovers that it is under threat from a tyrannical emperor.
Throughout the previous games and anime, Hakuoro helps to liberate the village and form his nation while making various allies and adversaries along his journey.
Mask of Truth will see Hakuoro return alongside season two’s Kuon as they face new threats from the ruler of the Yamato Empire.
As you would expect, people wanting to join Utawarerumono this season will want to watch the previous seasons to catch up on events and, in particular, character relationships.
Utawarerumono fans, however, recommend playing the visual novels, as the anime isn’t the most reliable adaptation of the source material.
