1!!Novel
2* BreakthroughHit: For Creator/NahokoUehashi.
3* CompletelyDifferentTitle: The novel is known in French simply as ''Le Gardien de L'esprit Sacré'' ("The Guardian of the Sacred Spirit").
4!!Anime
5* CrossDressingVoices: In the English dub, Creator/MonaMarshall voices Chagum.
6* InvisibleAdvertising: In America, the series just sort of showed up one Saturday night, and if you weren't following the schedule, you'd never have even have known it was on. After that and a couple false starts it finally aired completely and in a better timeslot, but still with zero advertising.
7* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The English dub shown on Creator/AdultSwim started at a not great but tolerable 1:30 a.m. timeslot, albeit with no advertising. Then, after episode 3 it was kicked to ''5:30 a.m.''. It was then restarted after 10 episodes in its original timeslot, but was dropped ''again'' due to the fallout of Creator/{{Geneon}} going bankrupt; the release of the [=DVDs=] got snagged up in red tape. [adult swim] was not permitted to continue showing ''Moribito'' until the licensing issues were resolved and [=DVDs=] 4-8 were allowed to be released. Thankfully, the problems were eventually solved, and [adult swim] re-aired and completed the series between June and December 2009, still with little to no advertising though.
8%%* StarMakingRole: Arguably, Balsa Yonsa for Creator/CindyRobinson.
9* StudioHop: The anime is quite infamous for never being able to maintain a license holder for very long to the point of it being a RunningGag. First, Creator/{{Geneon}} USA had the license but then they went kaput and Creator/MediaBlasters rescued it, but sadly MB themselves would end up going through a rough time that lasted until their eventual comeback in 2020. Eventually, Creator/VizMedia would acquire the license in 2014, but this wouldn't last long either as Creator/SentaiFilmworks [[note]] the resurrected corpse of Creator/ADVFilms [[/note]] snagged the license in 2020, and as of this writing Sentai still has the license.
