Where to Watch The Faraway Paladin in New Zealand

Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and The Faraway Paladin is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.

Originally commissioned by Tokyo MX, The Faraway Paladin quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. The series ran for 2 seasons (2021–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Perfect for late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge. The kind of show that makes you feel the absence when it ends.
