Deltora Quest
デルトラクエストThe evil Shadow Lord has taken control of the kingdom of Deltora and has driven the land and its people into misfortune and suffering. Lief, the son of a blacksmith, has just turned sixteen and is entrusted, along with his two companions Barda and Jasmine, with an important mission: to retrieve the stolen seven magical stones that once reunited within the Belt of Deltora, will bring power to the true heir of Deltora and give him the power to free the kingdom from the tyranny of the Shadow Lord. There is just one problem; the seven stones have been scattered all across Deltora and currently reside in the hands of seven wicked men who are not easily willing to give them up. (Source: ANN)

Based off a book franchise from fellow Australian and best selling Author, Emily Rodda. Having read all of the book's, I can say that I enjoyed :D, of course it's nothing outstanding. The plot follows the tale of Leif, Barda and Jasmine, three companions seeking to relocate the seven gems of Deltora in order to rebuild a magical belt that can defeat the malevolent Shadow Lord.
It has magic, it has swords, it has a dub (not the best I might add).
A relatively relaxed anime, don't expect outstanding characters, plot development, high end music or key studios animation, but expect a slow and enjoyable ride full of fun :)
